Singer Shakira defends Arabs

[FreedomAngel82]

I thought this was great. Glad she's getting through with the Bush propoganda too. :)

It's having trouble copying and pasting so sadly you just have to go there and read it yourself. She basically says not all Arabs are terrorist's but only a small percentage and she is of Arab decent as well.

1. I think Shakira rocks

I saw her in concert a few years ago in Phoenix. This was during the months before the U.S. invaded Iraq and she was speaking out against Bush back then.

There shoud be more pint-sized sex-symbols! :-)

4. Awesome to hear about her speaking out

I'm glad to hear that. I believe Ricky Martin was speaking out too against this whole "Muslim are terrorist's" nonsense. I hate the "us vs them" menatlity they all have. *Sigh* I like her English music but haven't bought any of her records yet. Does she have a new album out? I thought I read she did but I'm not sure.

6. She is a hottie

And a very talented musician. She also lives down here in Miami.

I keep having this fantasy where I run into her and ....

10. Shake her hand

Ask for an autograph

Take some photos

Then hand my camera to some stranger or a friend and have them take photos of me and her as I put my arm around her.

Then I will speak to her in Spanish and tell her my mother is from Colombia and that I have loads of family down there. And that I really love Colombia and the people down there are awesome.

And I will joke and make her laugh as more pictures are taken of us.

And then we just disappear into the night (after I get my camera back), go to a bar, have a few drinks, lots of laughs. By the end of the night, she'll be sitting on my lap and I'll be kissing her neck.

And then she calls her limo and we hop in the back and go to her mansion on Star Island (this is definitely one of those times when I don't ask "my place or yours"). Once we're at her house, we disappear into her bedroom, maybe with a drink or two, and then she gives me a private belly dance (she is so good at that).

But unlike the belly dances she does in concert, this becomes a strip belly dance as I lie on her giant bed with the salty sea breeze blowing in.

Yes, I'm a dreamer, but I know how to choose my fantasies.

12. Well I was about to go to sleep

But now I think I'm going for a drive.

[Wetzelbill]

13. dude, I hope you run into her

honest. :)

I just realized that sounded like a vehicular manslaughter type thing.

I hope you meet up with her. There. :)

14. I never leave home without my camera

So I'll be sure to send you the photos if I do.

7. no kidding, I love short women

3. Good on her.

I love her music. Her second album of 2005 is coming out soon.

I guess that means some new videos will be in high rotation for the next while. :woohoo:

9. I think she's great too

I wish I could move like that.

I hate to say this, but I see a misguided Repuke boycott coming if there wasn't one already.
