THE SAT!!!!!!!!!!!

Sheesh. And I thought having your entire future riding on a 4-digit number was bad enough. Try sitting in the same desk for 4 hours, with only 6 minutes in total breaks, watching two women you don't know smile at you while you try to guess the meanings of words so esoteric that they don't make Cut Throat. But I think I did all right on the math section: every single problem requires only the knowledge that the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. I'm not kidding. Every single one.

And now, a few words about a song called "El Tiburon," or 'the shark." This song, by Proyecto Uno, is the best piece of music I have ever heard that could be called "pop," and it's not even in English. You HAVE to see Andy and Kevin Silas do the dance moves. Here's a sample of the amazing sharkness:

El Tiburon
by Proyecto Uno

Fuí a la discoteca a ver si me conseguía una fresca.
Got myself some rum
Cause where I'm from sometimes you need some
Me tomé mi trago y una princesa pasó por mi lado.
La miré con ganas con esa carita de fama.
Ella miró OH SI! Ella pasó OH NO!
Ella se volvió con una sonrisa.
Tengo que bailar con esa muñequita.
La invité y puso brinca
y enseguida quise jalarla pa' la pista.
Y cuando llegué AY,
llegó el tiburón y con el se me fué.
AHI ESTA el tiburón.
AHI ESTA el tiburón.
SE LA LLEVO EL TIBURON, EL TIBURON, el tiburón.
AHI ESTA el tiburón.
AHI ESTA el tiburón.
SE LA LLEVO EL TIBURON, EL TIBURON.
No pares, SIGUE, SIGUE. No pares, SIGUE, SIGUE.
No pares, SIGUE, SIGUE. No pares, SIGUE, SIGUE.
No pares, SIGUE, SIGUE. No pares, SIGUE, SIGUE.
No pares, SIGUE, SIGUE. No pares, SIGUE, SIGUE.

I don't know what any of that means, but I don't care. VIVA EL TIBURON!
