Mi Tierra Me Duele!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I get goose bumps listening to Gloria. I love her and I love Cubans. This song, once again, is a tribute to them.

Also, I’m borrowing Gloria’s sentiment in this song for Cuba to express my feeling for my country, the United States of America. I’m sure the Cubanos would agree with me since they have been a powerful force among Latinos in politics and business in the United States. Many of old guard Cubanos are conservative and Republican. By the way, Latinos (or Hispanics) are the fastest growing group in the United States. The U.S., therefore, is becoming more Latin.

Yes, I know Colombia is great. I love my family and Colombia as well. Colombia is part of my identity. However, a larger part of my identity comes from the United States of America. If English speaking only gringos can understand the sentiment and passion in this song, music, and beat, they’ll know what I mean and feel about America, and the heart of the Latin people in it like myself. Enjoy.

I have mixed feelings on the Cubans. They come to Miami and complain a lot! They by far are the Biggest complainers I have ever heard here in the USA. They complain a lot about the Country(usa) that opened their Doors and gave them everything their country wouldn't give them. They complain about Fidel when in fact, if they hadn't cut&Ran and instead stayed and fought, they would likely be a free country today. Instead, they Cut&Ran to Miami. Castro didn't take their Island, they gave it to Him by fleeing to Miami so I have little sympathy for them. Not to mention the Hatchet Job they do on Butchering the SPanish Langauge,,,Terrible

Miamimike, thanks for the input.

About two days ago I read in the New York Times that Weston is now becoming "Westonzuela": losts of Venezeulans immigrants are pitching their tents over there and are creating businesses. The same old story as Cuba in 1959.

My comments on the Cubans are directed to the Old guard that originally came in the 60s and their beautiful women.

It is the nature of cubans to complain. They simply can't help themselves. The same cuban crowd who's spent almost 50 years bitchin' about castro will be equally verbose complaining about the lack of US help rebuilding that country after the Commie regime falls. count on it.

That is, the ones that actually return there to live. I figure they'll be about 42 of 'em, returning to their beloved island.

Now two people said that Cubans are complainers. I know they are and so are many other groups.

Ever tried living with Italians? This morning I woke up to a screaming match over a jar of peanut butter in my house - and I'm not kidding!

I've rarely listened to a cuban musician i didn't like. their musical heritage has much to be proud of.

glad to hear it was crunchy, Plato. arguing over creamy would be silly.

One thing that Really Burns me is that if a Cubans comes here illegally and is over 65 and NEVER WORKED ONE DAY in their life and never even payed a dime into the Social Security Fund, they are entitled to receive Monthly $$$ Benefits. Along with Plan 8 Subsidized Housing, Federal Food Stamps, Medicare/Medicaid, reduced or free in some cases, Scooling, Free Public Transportation,college ect. And they are Complaining??????????????????? A US Veteran wouldn't get these entitlements after serving in Battle defending the USA,,, Granted, the Cuban Women are Hot in Bed hardly any other Women compares Sex Wise. You haven't lived until you have had a few of these,,,LOL

Miamimike, I have no idea what you're talking about. You mean hot like Eva Mendes? She's Cuban-American.

I don't like it when Latinos start complaining about the U.S. too, the hand that fed them and made them who they are! Miamimike, I agree with you.

Plato I know the feeling you are speaking of!

jaja mafe, i'm sure they're not complaining! I just thought it was funny that Eve Mendes was part of the subject in a thread a few days/weeks back and now she is back again! I guess they never tire! If I wasn't still at work I would post one for their enjoyment too...

Plato says on Feb 28, 2008, 05:17:

Ladies, I appreciate you humoring us men. You're way better sports than we would be. I wouldn't post a picture of a dude showing his ass - believe me.

Now, yes, I'm a little nuts about Eva. I use to be nuts about Catherine Zeta Jones, but then she married that old fart Michael Douglas (he knew what he was doing). Eva? Well, it's a Latin thing. Specifically, let's call it lust. Latin blood is really, really hot and she has that effect on me.

Another thing, I'm fortunate that my wife allows me to dream about these women, especially Eva. She just tells me to follow two rules: (1) When looking at other women, don't gawk or drool in front of her because that would be disrespectful to her and (2) If I need it that bad, to bring it home to her. She'll take care of things.

Now, my wife is the best out of all these women I lust after: beautiful, sexy, warm, loving - a great wife and mother to my children. (Don't get me started about Italian women - Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Plus, she let's me be me - I don't have to put up any pretense about me admiring or lusting after any other women. I just have to follow the rules. (Damn. . . )

wow, plato. you sound like a great husband! I'm sure she is just as lucky to have you. And I like her two rules....I may just have to implement them in my own marriage. Sounds fair enough to me.

Plato, you do sound like a good husband, and she sounds like a great wife!
I believe it's human nature to admire other people and dream a little!
I don't see anything wrong with that. The world is full of too many beautiful people...

I think Catherina Zeta Jones is GORGEOUS...she wows me!
