tango-tagged...

Ok...here is the deal:
got tagged by Johanne of tangwritemight.com.
As other fellow bloggers, I will have to tag some that have already been tagged. As much as I would love to, cannot justify spending the time to go through each blog to figure out who has already been tagged. Too much work makes me me a dull blogger:)

Anyhow, rules of Blogger Tag:

The Rules:

1. Post the rules on your blog
2. Link to the person who tagged you
3. Share seven random and/or weird things about yourself.
4. Tag seven people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs.
5. Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

1. I once was a high-jumper.


2. I actually used the phrase "Quick, follow that car!" in real life by jumping into a car whose owners I did not know. (DOn't worry it was not a stalking incident, but explaining it would take a long time- suffice it to say that I was 13 years old when I did this)

3. I had a pet turtle once


4. I am left handed, and I wonder if, when I dance tango, the leaders can tell?
5. I love finding little treasures at antique shops or good will stores.

6. I sang a capella in college

7. I have this silly dream/aspiration of one day being able to sing Malena (and other tangos) as expresively as someone like Roxana Fontan...


And I tag...

Dreams...


I came across this interesting website. I am always baffled by dreams. HOw do they happen, why? I read a little about it but still I think they are fascinating little short films that we direct and sometimes have the lead role in... I have had such bizarre, such funny, such puzzling dreams in my life... So this software is very interesting to me. At the very least it makes for a very nice alarm clock:)

Ne me quitte pas! Tango:)

The lyrics of this classic is all the more romantic when you watch it, when you see JAcques Brel sing it... An ugly man, a desparate man... I want to give him a hug, and share his burden, his sorrow... Maybe tango could help him?;)
I also love the Nina Simone version as well as the Ute Lemper version. But Jacques is my favorite...
