I was alone in my house and just after Michigan made it into the Sweet 16. I turned off my TV and read. I really dig that book! Once my eyes got tired and the, “Leopard print” changed from yellow to dark green, I stopped.
Commercials were playing as I turned the TV on and hit the, “Last” button to continue watching my movie. Laws of Attraction, (this is the seventh time I have watched it since purchasing it on St. Patrick’s Day so it is only $1.86 each time I have watched it so far!) Pierce Brosnon and Julianne Moore are going to fly to Ireland shortly!
But as I was scrolling, the commercials still played and then a Spotify commercial began and I exited my scanning to see the Spotify commercial that played this song:
Before I could turn my movie on, I HAD to watch the ENTIRE commercial! I was immediately taken back to my cousin Alex’s quinceañera. My brother, Jimmy, was going to play the guitar at the reception and his friend, Luis, was going to play the drums. He called me just after I had gotten home from class and told me that they had decided on a song to play and since a girl sings it, I had to sing. He wanted me to come over and practice. I think the wuince was in less than a week.
I remember that I had a killer dress on at that quinceañera. Sean, who might’ve been 2 at the time, had accompanied me to find and buy it. He told me that, I, “Looked very pretty!” which was part of the reason that I bought it. I was still walking without Canadian crutches back then and I remember holding the microphone stand to strady myself as I sang.
I know that I was in my young 20s then but to hear that song on that commercial immediately brought back so many fond memories of that day and for so many different reasons! I was young, still could carry a tune, had a great dress on, and was still walking all by myselfy!
