TheDailyWoo - 586 (2/7/14) The Selena Statue

0:05 welcome everyone Adam the woo here I

0:05 think I might have startled you and I

0:06 startled me because I just woke up I'm

0:09 only half awake but it doesn't matter

0:12 because the cold crispness of Corpus

0:15 Christie is waking up that's hard to say

0:18 fast especially when you have just

0:20 awoken from a good half night of Slumber

0:23 only got a few hours sleep and I'm

0:25 standing here on this Bay I'm assuming

0:27 this is a bay of Corpus chrisy based on

0:30 these boats there's actually a pirate

0:32 ship flag right there but remember if

0:35 you come out here to the Bay of Corpus

0:38 Christie be careful caution slippery

0:42 steps and no swimming it's my second

0:46 channel daily blog channel I'm just

0:48 walking up this little maze it's almost

0:51 like a maze it's an amazing

0:54 maze right here in Corpus

0:57 Christie hope you guys can hear me it's

0:59 very windy

1:00 out here and very cool and crisp I'm not

1:03 sure the exact temperature but I thought

1:05 that this was pretty amazing leading

1:07 from that little Waterway and that ice

1:09 machine it just goes up and down up and

1:12 down up and down and leads to a

1:15 fantastic

1:16 homage to a singer that you may have

1:20 heard of basically the Mexican version

1:24 equivalent of Madonna very popular in

1:27 other countries but she was starting to

1:29 trans send into the good old USFA and

1:32 into the American culture in fact there

1:35 was a movie made about her years and

1:37 years ago and her name was Selena and

1:41 she was shot and killed right in this

1:44 neck of the woods of Corpus Christie and

1:47 Corpus Christie has erected a statue at

1:51 I guess the female version of a statue

1:54 would be a statuette so I'm going to

1:55 cross over the road as soon as we get

1:58 the green arrow as soon as this person

2:00 gets going by anyway Selena was one of

2:03 the biggest stars in the world and

2:06 people in the Lain Community still

2:08 consider her to be whoa whoa whoa wait

2:10 there's a battleship over there as well

2:12 I forgot to tell you about the

2:14 battleship see I tried telling you about

2:16 the pirate ship there's also a

2:18 battleship over there I've actually been

2:20 on a battleship and it's pretty

2:21 fantastic if you ever get the ability to

2:24 go visit a touristy Battleship haven't

2:26 been on that one but I've been to the

2:27 one in Mobile Alabama and there's

2:30 actually a gentleman walking along that

2:33 little Ravine area see him right there

2:36 I'm pointing at him hopefully he doesn't

2:38 slip and fall hopefully he abides by

2:41 that sign I showed you at the very

2:44 beginning because if he slips and Falls

2:45 like that sign says he's going to go

2:48 swimming and that sign says no swimming

2:51 so the sign is kind of confusing because

2:53 if you slip and fall you're technically

2:54 going to go swimming whether you like it

2:56 or not see right there it says no

2:58 walking but I'm walk walking anyway and

3:01 you're walking as well vicariously sir

3:03 okay by the way I'm here on the corner

3:06 of people's Street and North Shoreline

3:11 Boulevard right across from this

3:13 Bayfront in and the swatner and

3:17 Gordon so you can look on the satellite

3:19 view you can see exactly where I am but

3:22 I'm going to show you something amazing

3:24 in regards to Selena who was shot and

3:27 killed here in Corpus Christie in

3:30 1995 at a very young age in her early

3:33 20s but first I got to get myself a

3:36 little bit of

3:42 water that's actually not bad Corpus

3:42 krisy water I got to

3:45 say you're good usually in the morning I

3:48 have some caffeinated beverage or a soda

3:50 of some type but not today I'm going all

3:53 Texas style and I had myself a water

3:56 here you want a little bit of water sir

3:59 you you want some of this

4:02 water oh man that's good okay we're

4:05 coming up here to what I was telling you

4:07 about the City of Corpus christe

4:10 Christie Memorial

4:25 1997 Selena was referred to as the what

4:25 does that say as the laf FL the flower

4:29 and I identified with a lose Blanca the

4:33 white rose when you view when you view I

4:35 can't talk when you view the lose Blanca

4:38 you can feel her presence that's what

4:41 the sign

4:48 says Selena's stage is now silent I'm

4:48 just reading that yet her Persona

4:51 enriched the lives of those she touched

4:54 and her music lives on and there's the

4:58 flower

5:01 they have erected this little area here

5:04 where you cannot go over the side you

5:07 don't want to go over the side and see

5:09 the Fantastic area dedicated to the

5:13 singer Selena what am I referring to

5:16 exactly what are they protecting by that

5:18 steel beam this

5:22 s it's right there she's holding the

5:27 microphone just's looking that way not

5:29 sure who she would have been looking at

5:31 maybe that was a famous

5:32 pose but a pretty awesome

5:37 display a pretty awesome

5:39 Memorial you're a very great singer a

5:42 very popular singer meant a lot to a lot

5:43 of people it'd be kind of like us here

5:46 in America and the good old us OFA

5:48 thinking about Madonna or Michael

5:50 Jackson just for the Spanish and the

5:53 Mexican in the Comm that Community

5:55 thinking about Selena even though she

5:58 was born here here she was very popular

6:01 in other countries not just the US OFA I

6:04 don't know what I'm trying to say it's

6:05 very cold and my hands are freezing and

6:08 I'm holding this looking at Selena's

6:11 statue at in the cold I just thought you

6:15 guys would like to see this is very

6:17 awesome people have written their names

6:20 down here showing their love for the

6:27 singer hundreds and hundreds of Sharpie

6:29 marks and paintings people writing their

6:33 names words of

6:45 kindness very very cool they also say

6:45 I'm not even making this up you would

6:47 think a lot of this stuff I'm making up

6:48 and a lot of times I do make a lot of

6:50 this stuff up off the cuff but not this

6:53 what I am referring to is that they say

6:56 for good luck if you climb over this

6:58 railing

7:00 and you rub on her backside I'm talking

7:03 about this right here if you rub on that

7:08 you're supposed to get good luck Eternal

7:11 good luck I'm not really sure but some

7:12 sort of good luck will come from rubbing

7:17 that little region there the nether

7:19 regions of

7:25 Selena that doesn't even sound right

7:25 imagine getting good luck from rubbing

7:27 the nether regions of a statue now if

7:30 you were rubbing the real nether regions

7:32 of Selena then that would be a whole

7:34 different Vlog that we can't talk about

7:36 because there's kids watching and all

7:38 I'm talking about is rubbing the nether

7:40 regions of Selena I'm not making this up

7:43 in fact she's looking at us right there

7:45 thinking why did you bring that up

7:48 because it is factual people have

7:50 climbed over this even though they don't

7:51 want you trespassing over the selenia

7:53 monument people have actually gotten up

7:56 there gotten photographs with their

7:58 hands and places they should not

8:01 be all right enough about that I don't

8:03 even know why I brought that up I just

8:05 wanted to show you this the Selena

8:07 statuette in fact there is a

8:09 reproduction of her autograph

8:12 there it's a very interesting story she

8:15 was murdered by the woman who used to

8:18 run her fan club the woman was

8:21 embezzling money Selina did not like

8:24 that she met that woman at a day in

8:27 about four or five miles away at first I

8:29 was thinking maybe it would be that

8:31 hotel directly across from the monument

8:33 but it's actually a day in I think the

8:36 room number was 150 and they've changed

8:38 the room number so if you're staying in

8:39 that day in they've changed that room

8:41 number to number 158 so you can actually

8:44 stay in or visit the room where Selena

8:48 was murdered and killed kind of demented

8:51 kind of weird but if you are a big fan

8:53 you never know some people cope with

8:55 tragedies in different ways if you want

8:56 to pay your respects just Google the

8:59 whole environment that happened on that

9:02 day I believe it was 1995 about Selena

9:07 and if you're ever in Corpus Christie

9:09 come out here and visit right there the

9:12 Poo de laf Flo which is the Selena m in

9:16 fact this guy right here is about to pay

9:18 his humble respects to Selena and so is

9:21 this bird right there look at that bird

9:24 that almost looks like a weird penguin

9:26 it's cold enough out here to be a

9:28 penguin

9:30 all right I'm going to let you guys go I

9:32 just thought this would be interesting

9:33 to show you guys hopefully you guys can

9:35 chime in about some of the wonderful
