The blogs so far

The blogs that I made in this semester was very interesting and fun, it’s a great way of learn and practice a language write every week and the things that you write are about your life and the way that you though. In the semester in my opinion my favorite blog that I made was the conversation one-on-one, it was very curious to imagine you and a people that really admire talk about different stuffs, personally I write that blog with enthusiasm because I´m a big fan of Jim Morrison that kind and a little talk with him was one of my wishes in my youth, like know him better.

For other hand the blog that it was more difficult to write this semester is the about the analysis of the Victory City, first of all that day I came to the class a little late and all the student already have start writing, and I was a little confused about what is the Victory City, I began to understand like a half hour until the class finished and then start to write, it was very weird write about that topic because I didn’t know nothing about that and never heard about it, although was very interesting too. The blog that I really enjoyed to read was that about your favorite book, it´s funny to see what are the likes of my partners in the class, and it’s good because you know book that may you interest.

In my opinion that kind of activities are very helpful to the student, because people that aren’t accustomed to write in English is a really nice tool, I think that in my case my English writing improved a little, it’s an easy way to practice and its helpful and nice with all the works that we have in workshop that English was more relaxing.   

People are strange

A person that admired and would be wonderful to talk a moment with him is Jim Morrison, the singer of the band The Doors, this band was very famous since his beginning on the sixties, they usually plays psychedelic rock. I know him while I was listen a lot of different music and The Doors came out, I liked a lot and then begin to search about the members and their history, I found a very interesting person Jim Morrison, for example, some people says that he was very intelligent, like a genius, in interview teachers close to him told that Jim in the youth always understands books so difficult even for they. In my opinion Jim is a person who had a lot of talk of many subject, he love to know new thing every time, and also was very extravagant with all the Indian culture and all the mystic things that in the end begin to interest.

 If I had a one-on-one conversation with Jim I would ask so many things, the first that I talk with is about music, what kind of artist like and of his own music what think that is the best. Also I´m interest in his religion, like what are his believes, that he thought like the spirit exist or things like that. Jim is one of the group of musician that died with 27 years, he died in his bathroom in Paris with a heart attack in 1971, his death has a lot of versions actually, and it was very weird. 

    

                                     MY HOBBY

In my life I always had a lot of hobbies, and also I am very careful with my stuffs since I was little, the hobby that really love is play videogames and collect them, this hobby gave it to me my cousin when I had like 4 years when he gift me the Super Nintendo in Christmas with all of his games, in that time I was fascinated with that, my favorite game was Yoshi Island, that is about the life of Mario Bros when he was baby, and he need to travel to save his brother Luigi with the help of all the Yoshi on the island.

The years passed and I in the primary I ask to my mum more games, only in Christmas and in my birthday, all the year I think in what game was perfect to play, my cousin continues gift me the games that he stop used it and some of them were my favorites of all times, like Final Fantasy VII with a great history.

In my opinion the games are like a movie that you can interact all the time and “built” your own history, that concept fascinated to me since the beginning because the movies and the theater is another of my hobbies that really liked, all my family (specially my grandfather.) was very fan of the movies.

Now I still like a lot play videogames with my friends but because the short free time I have I don’t play so much. The next week the new game of final fantasy releases to Chile and all the game late around 15 years to created it, I´m waiting to play it and look how it’s like.

Here is a Trailer from the beginning of the year with a Fantastic song at the end, as you see is like a movie!! Very awesome. Enjoy it (The song is from Florence the Machine :O).  

A new songwriter

I´m really fan of the Chilean music since the primary, when I was little my family always listen groups like Los Jaivas or Violeta Parra, I growth with that kind of music, I was very fan of Congreso to. In the story of the Chilean music there was a lot of big artist that little by little where building what is it right now, musician like Victor Jara or Violeta Parra, in the 80 where Los Tres and Los Prisioneros.  But right now in my opinion there are one young Folklorist that is very talented and try to do give their best to the public, that artist called Nano Stern.

Nano Stern plays like Folk Rock, some of most famous songs that he write were “Casualidad” and “Opticas ilusiones”, my favorite of that two is the first, it´s very beautiful song. I knew since a lot, one time in Christmas eve while we were eating a record of Nano Stern was played, but I really begin to liked two years later when he appear in an argentine program of music called “Encuentro en el Estudio”, that is about a long interview that also in between they sing a couple of songs. In the show Nano plays around six or seven instrument, that finally mixed all the sounds and composed a melody, it was awesome. If someday a have the pleasure of talk with him, I would ask about his likes of the music, what other music he listen and also ask if he can teach me about play some instrument, he is very talented jajaja.

There are a trailer of the program Encuentro en el Estudio with Nano Stern. Enjoy it :)

    

 

 A perfect city?

In my opinion the problem about environment are inevitable and probably get worst in a few years, the big company’s don´t respect a lot the nature. The victory city is an interesting initiative, it’s great that only one organism controls the economic, obviously thinking that the workers has to be honest and controls always with equality all the deals. I doesn’t like to much the idea to live in a Hugh building all the citizen, the people need some space outside stay a lot of time of solar light, that is very important two the human and I think that the project is avoiding it.

In the future I don’t believe that this project were ejected, the true answer is to fix the city’s we are living right now, the idea of victory city Its very drastic and we as society still can fix the environment problems to doesn’t reach to that awful point to change all our way of living. Be ecologic!!

PIPELINES IN DAKOTA

A long weekend

This weekend was very relaxing, in Friday I stay with a friends in the university around the 10 p.m., and after that I went to my house and fell directly to me bed. The Saturday I slept a lot and then I play videogames until the afternoon, where I met with my girlfriend to go to the birthday to a close friend of her. Then, in Sunday I stayed in the house of my girlfriend to lunch. Also we saw a movie called the perfect sisters, is about two sisters who have an alcoholic and problematic mum, and they try to go ahead although the difficulty.

In Monday I went to the house of my uncle to see my little cousin of one year, the kid growth a lot in no time, we did grill meat. I enjoyed a lot that day, it was very relaxing and my uncle give me a really good idea to workshop, I hope that’s works the project. And finally in Tuesday I try to advance all the work I have in the week in the subjects, while I do that I listen a lot of new music. I just press the bottom of start in YouTube and the record pass. In fact, that day I listen a very nice group called “We were promised jetpacks”, it’s a very weird name but it’s really itchy, I really liked his record, one in particular was very nice. My weekend isn’t was so exciting buy I enjoyed a lot, now in the university I doesn’t have a lot of time to hang with my girlfriend, for example, and we met two days and no thinking so much in the works of the weeks.

PD: Here goes the record of the group I told. Enjoy it :D
