The music is a place and the place is the music


  I would like to visit Glasgow, Scotland. Why I choose this far-off destination? First of all, I would like to comment that my favorite bands are Belle and Sebastian and Camera Obscura. Amazingly both come from the largest and populous city of Scotland: the beautiful and colorful Glasgow. Therefore, the greatest reason to choose Glasgow like…is to know how the environment (people, typical food, buildings, etc.) of the city influences the music style and lyrics creations of the members of the bands. I
 It seems strange to think that my favorite style of music comes from to the same place and my purpose would be to discover this mystery going across the avenues of the third most populous city in the United Kingdom. Obviously, I will do my best to reach a meeting with them (I would not lose anything trying it). If my efforts don’t work, Glasgow has many other attractions (unfortunately none of them is better than knowing my idols) like biggest castles, modern buildings, pretty parks and canals, etc.

    it's an interesting option to visit the place where your idols come from...that way you can understand their music better. I like this idea.

    Hi Horacio, I have heard about Belle and Sebastian, but I didn't know that they are from Scotland, far less from Glasgow, I just know that city because I had heard about Glasgow Music Festival. Well, I hope someday you can go there, anyway if you couldn't know your favorite bands, you can know the beauty of Scotland as you said.

A big decision

  First of all, I would like to mention that my vocational decision to enter to the University was too hard. I had so many interests (and I’m still having it). For that reason, I think that the system of postgraduate studies is made for me (an egocentric perspective) because I could choose different courses and subjects that would complement my base career. Also, I think that when I finish Psychology I would like to study other Program.   The variety is dangerous for me. When I think in my postgraduate studies I feel confused again. However, nowadays the interrelation between different areas of knowledge has good “status” (multidisciplinary). If I had to choose today, I would like to study courses like drama, literature or ecology. If you are wondering why I don’t consider subjects in a direct relation to the Psychology, I’m doing it too.     I think that the postgraduate studies are the best opportunity to travel to other places, because your academic training...

Not my pets :)

First of all, i would like to comment that i don’t have pets. I love the animals so much, but I don’t share the idea of “to have pets”, because I’m not good enough to taking care to others. For that reason, I’m going to talk about my mom’s and grandmother’s pets.   My mother have three dogs. The first and most dear of them is Mateo “Tito”. He is 10 years old and he arrived to our house after being mistreated by his previous mistress. I think that my mom saved him. Mateo is so surly and jealous. Also he is friendly with (and only) new people. A curious datum: he loves to play with cats, even he enjoy that the cats chase him.   The second one is Aquiles, he is a Pastor Alemán. He likes the disaster and to go to dog parties every night; in despite of my mother’s concern.   Finally, the third and youngest dog is Magnus (an inherited name from his former family). He came to our home because his previous house was too small for a dog with so much energy (like this). He is...

Belle and Sebastian again!

  Hello partners! How are you? In this enter I’m going to write about the most incredible concert that I’ve had in my life (and the second and last): I’m talking about Belle and Sebastian live performance.   One day, I was navigating in Belle and Sebastian’ Facebook page and I found an advertisement that promoted their around the world’ tour. When I saw it, the only thing that I hoped it was that Chile was considered in their list. Fortunately for Chilean fans, the band wanted to come back to the country in two years.           First of all, I remember the precise date of the live performance: It was on 22th October, 2015. The entry to the concert was really great. When I arrived to Teatro Caupolicán, I received a photograph of me with some of the belongings of the members of the band (I was very excited for that!).   Then, I noticed that the gallery was almost empty, which allowed me to get a privileged position. In the middle of the co...
