Just so it's fair I'd thought I'd actually post my first blog here. You will be able to see where I started and where I've grown in comparison.

I'm posting today about a topic that is very near and dear to us all, MUSIC. EVERYONE listens to some sort of music, although our tastes differ and what I may consider music, may not be the same as what you would consider music. Having said that, I have to address the topic of the "Spanish National Anthem". I read this morning about the lists of artists that are to be featured on the Spanish rendition of the National Anthem as well as I read about some of the comments about it being called by some as "The Illegal Alien Anthem". That is the issue I care to address. For anyone who actually feels and believes this to be true please do us all a favor and pick up a history book. While most of the Spanish speaking people in this country may come from countries other then this one, NOT ALL OF US DO!! AND, I don't mean my parents are immigrants and I was born here, I mean that PUERTO RICO is very much a part of THIS COUNTRY, which happens to be where my family is from. WE ARE LEGAL and we don't have to be born within the continental US to be legal. PUERTO RICANS are the ONLY ONES (other then Guam natives) that can be born in THEIR country, KEEP THEIR HERITAGE, CULTURE AND LANGUAGE AND STILL BE AMERICAN! Probably more then most Americans in the US. YES, WHITE PEOPLE EVEN YOU! The original Americans were Indians, NOT ANGLO. Light/fair skinned people came here with slaves and took over a country that wasn't theirs. They weren't here with the land. It was done for freedoms that you weren't getting in your own countries. Yet, you all came here to establish a "FREEDOM" based government for yourselves and now try to frown upon others that are just following in your footsteps, as you showed them. On top of that, YOU brought most of us here against our will and are now trying to fight to keep us out. GET OFF THE HIGH HORSE!! Instead of sticking your nose up in the air or into someone else's business (as most Americans do) why not put it in a book. If you're going to try to defend your country's rights so adamantly, you should at least know where%
