The final post i guess

Well well well, this is the end of the road i guess. one of my favourite things to write denelitely was about music and what im enjoying at that moment culturally, because it is kinda the one of the few things that i care about in my life.

What I liked the least was definitely when we had to write about New York, make a list, because honestly, I am not very interested in visiting that city, and there were a lot of locations, so the whole process became quite slow and tedious. Also, it was super repetitive because the things we had to research were very similar all the time. Maybe for other classes, it would be good to modify this activity a bit. I understand that repetition is meant to help us remember the key concepts, but still.

The blog I liked the most was our professor Simons, because he has spent a large part of his life in other countries, to traveling a lot,  and he has also much more experience than any of us, he always has interesting things to share. I'm sure he has many more interesting stories that he hasn't told yet. Also, the music he makes is really good. There are moments when I find myself listening to his music without even thinking about it, just because I feel like it in that moment.

The truth is, I would like to keep blogging in the future. It probably wouldn't be in English, but I really enjoyed the experience. in addition, there's a community that constantly reads and comments, which makes it quite enjoyable, knowing that there will always be someone who reads it. One problem is that I’m not sure where to do it because I think blogging is a bit outdated hahaha. I would have to find a more current platform to do it.

Goodbye to everyone, hope you find something that you feel proud doing.

Chao.

Something special i guess

I really don't have special objects like trinkets or things like that, because I don't put much value in material things, I guess, so it's hard for me to understand.

But one thing that I value a lot is a letter that my brother wrote to me for one of my birthdays (maybe like my 14th or 15th). It was his birthday present to me, and to this day, it's probably the most memorable and valuable gift I've received for my birthday.

He handed it to me in a sealed envelope. It's a handwritten letter that lasts about a page and a half. I guess it's not difficult to read,and i have to say that my brother has really nice handwriting. 

The letter came to me at a crucial moment in my life because in it, my brother describes how important and valuable he sees me, and he gives me his trust that I'm capable of doing whatever I want. This touches me deeply because many times I tend to lose my way and doubt myself, my abilities, and the things I consider important, when i need a pick me up, i read it, and i ry almost all the time that i read it.

 The best piece of technology of all the times

Well well well, the piece of technology that i use the most has to be my notebook, wich is a HP Omen 16 i think. 

I use for pretty much everythimg that i like doing, like playing videogames (right now im playing, Valorant, Blasphemous 2, The binding od Issac, and Sekiro), making music (or at least trying), reading papers and academic articles, consuming content online, do most of the university work, and writing my ideas and thougths.

This especific computer i think a got it at the end of 2023, because before i had a desktop pc and it wasnt very practical, especially because i travel a lot to my hometown and university, and having a computer in these two locations is crucial for me.

I think the difficulty is relative for what you use it for, because one can literally do almost anything through a computer: from entertaining oneself, working, ordering food, connecting with family or loved ones, practically living life through it, or even living a life different from the one they have in real life.

Im not sure if this specific computer is necessarily special to me, but the concept of the computer definitely is. It opened the doors to the world of the internet when I was around 15 years old (I'm not really sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing haha), and it completely transformed me as a person, from my hobbies and my way of acting to my way of thinking. It introduced a whole new way of living life. I have probably spent a large part of the last 10 years in front of a computer, dealing with all the upsides and downsides what this implies (having a horrible posture hahaha).

 2 photos

Well, well, well, today im gonna write about two photos of myself. Both are fairly recent because i remenber very little of my young self, so i would be able to give much context.

This one is from this year, so i had 23, and it was in the Aeropuerto Internacional Arturo Merino Benitez. I went to say my goodbyes to one of my best friends José Tomás (the one in the middle), before he flew to Singapour to do an intership for a tech company. I went with my other best friend Sebastían "Sebobina"(the one on the right). I remember that i was really proud of my outfit from this day, i felt like a cowboy in a big city, like the protagonist in Paris, Texas (my favourite movie).

Okay so this one is from 2018, and i was in my Highschool, because they were taking our class photo for the senior yearbook. I remember at this time i was a fuking clown (maybe i still am), i was willing to dumb shit to make people laugh and get attention. I dont really remember fron were i got the coat, (maybe we were doing a play for the spanish class), and i dont remember the context for the pose. 

So, yeah, i think both are happy times, at least they were not bad.

Bonus

The best song of all the times (right now) 

Well, well, well, the song i been listening recently is "Out of the blue" by Julian Casablancas.

The genere probably has to be indie rock, synth pop and a little of new wave maybe?.

Is the opener to "Phrazes for the young" the only solo album of the frontman of the Strokes, and like the whole album, this song has a lot of influences of New Order, The strokes and dance pop 80s bands. I guess i like it mainly because the production and sound of the synths, the storytelling of the lyrics, the timeless chorus "woah ooo oh", just the weird charisma of Julian is in full force in this song, and last but not least the dog on the cover art is nice.

 The best semester of all the times

Well well well, i dont really have much of the so called classes this semester, only 4, and if had to pick probably has to be english. One of the reasons is that is easy for me, and i really enjoy the activities that the teacher make us do. 

The worst class, is a tie between Yoga and Proyecto 4. The first because i have really bad elongation, and executing propelly all the postures is a living hell, let alone mantain them for 10 or 20 seconds. My disgust for Proyecto 4 has to do with the fact that the activities that we do are kinda pointless, i mean i understand them, and i get what the teacher is trying to teach, its just i dont see the utility in them, and the teacher is kinda crazy, no disrespect, i dont really understand her. 

Because i dont have many classes managing time it has been easy this semester, so i just leave an hour or two for the university activities and the rest i just do whatever, witch conists in reading, (right now im reading de Asimov trilogy), writing, listening to music (i been listening to Sonic Youth, Smashing Pumpkings, Flume, wich has this amazing song called Take a chance, Fito Paez, Charli XCX and Adrianne Lenker), playing videogames (recently finished the videogame cuphead witch was really fun), trying not to suck at singing, and waching movies. 

My highlight like always is the people that i meet. This semester is no diferent, reconnecting with classmates that i didint see much the past semester, and getting to know 2 really cool persons.
