Buongiorno

Today I went to the Poverella House to help with lunch with some pretty awesome people from the Salsa Club. It really made me think, of what I want out of life. Seeing all those people, with practically nothing. It made me very sad, especially seeing the kids starving, just waiting to be fed, their clothes soaked through, and shivering because of the rain. It made me very thankful of my parents, and where and how I live. It also helped me realize what I really want to acomplish. You would never think that the smallest act could in return give back to you ten fold of what you gave in. As I was trying to get some homework done I kept getting side tracked, because I kept thinking, day dreaming. I don't know why it hit me so hard, it just did.So I've made a few additions and placed more emphasis on some of the goals I've achieved thus far, or want for this year.Philanthropy, Scholastic Organizations:- Volunteer at the Poverella House every Saturday- Volunteer at with Buddy Systems every Wednesday or Thursday- Volunteer for Big Brothers Big Sisters org.- Volunteer at Children's Hospital, or community hospital- Get an internship at and established, legitimate law firm (preferably McCormick Barstow)- Get more involved with AS: run for Senator of Social Sciences or Vice President next year. Committee chair openings?- Run for Vice President of Phi Alpha Delta next week.- Take less classes next semester. (preferably 18 units max)Personal Endeavours:- Learn Italian; take a class next semester- Take Latin Dance, and Ballroom Dance- Try out for the Salsa Preformance Team at the end of this semester- Get a job- Work out 3-4 times a week.- Book 3 local bands for the pit

Me Encanta Salsa

So I don't know how I ever lived without it. It's something that just flows and feels so natural. The reason why I enjoy salsa more than any other dance is because..well...it's sexy. Plain and simple. It's not like when you go clubbing at red room and you see these two people dry humping on a wall and it makes you say "uh whaaaa?". Salsa, is way sexier than that. No matter what age it's so much fun to learn, and it's quick to pick up. It's especially fun when you find a guy that has a really sexy style, and basically very experienced, and he teaches you all these moves that make you and the people around you just go "WOW!" You get a really good feeling, and it just makes you wanna keep dancing becuase you get so much energy from your partner. It's different from ballroom. I love ballroom dancing let me say that, my parents used to compete and tried for years to get me to try but I just didn't care too much for it. Unlike salsa ballroom is very repetitive and proper. Whereas in salsa you use more creativity, and you can develop your own style. It's such a refreshing change, I'm in love with it. You meet so many cool people, professionals, students, and even mechanical engineer professors! Tonight I met this guy that is actually teaching at buchanan because apparently they have a latin dance group now. He is a....wild dancer to say the least. But, that's only because he's very passionate about what he does.Dips, Spins, Holds, Crossover doohickys, so many combinations, it can get intense. I can honestly say that for my second time, I already know that this is something that I wanna do for the rest of my life. It's also very encouraging when you get compliments from people on how quick you learn. I guess it's really helpful when you have some background in music. Of course I must give some advice to the guys out there. Wanna learn how to win over the ladies? Learn to dance. My preference...salsa duh. It makes the girl feel less like your sex toy such as when your grindin in the club, and more like your sexy Goddess. And girls, just try it. Yes, be careful there are some chumps out there that just go to pick up chicks, so be aware. But, everyone needs to experience it at least once! You won't regret it.
