Jamaica, Jamaica

I would really like to go into Rastafari's land and learn much more about their religion, way of life and customs. Jamaica is one of the islands located in the Grater Antilles near Cuba in the Caribean sea reason why is very visited by foreign tourist that goes there to find peace and good beaches. If I got the luck of travel there I'll visit the home town of Bob Marley (Nine Town) and everything that rounds his life and The Wailers history, but also I won't loose thoose splendids beaches. There I will buy some vinil disc with real reggae roots, books with stories from the island.

There is known that exist another part of Jamaica and that is the poor part where lives only black people decendent from the african slaves brought by the english to the island.

Knowing someone


Well there is a lot of people that I would like to meet but all of them for the same good reasons, this is a small list of them: Bob Marley, John Lennon, Ernesto Guevara, Jimi Hendrix, Gandhi, and a lot of others "celebrities". Well the first one (Marley) is like an idol for me because what he represents, for what he express in his songs and in his way of life. Just to listen to what he can say and express about important themes like social injustice, discrimination against black people, the rastafari living style, and others. Maybe I'll accept to smoke a marihuana joint with him, that he like a lot.

Also known what Che Guevara thougt about the revolution and the projects that he had for Latin America if the revolution would won. There are also historical celebrities like Lautaro or the Inca's chiefs that would be very interesting to meet and to known they way to see th world.

Finally there is a list of other people that would be very funny, like A.Einstein, A.Hitler, Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan-----well there is many people that i would like to know.

A nice place to go for summer

I went to Nacional Park “Pan de azucar” in the summer of 2004 with two friends that i know since I was 3 years old (Mono and Milodon). The place is really beautiful and calm, it’s near the city of Chañaral in the north of the country. The beaches are really good to have a lot of fun with friends, make some sports, have good conversation, and even take a few drinks. This place is very atractive for young people to go there and get crazy, but you must take your own tent and food because it's far away from the civilization. (there you can eat very good pattys). There we found a lot of known people from Santiago so we did great partys, and also good football matches.

But there is another place, that i haven't visited yet but i'm going there this summer, that i like and i'm hungrily to go there; this place is....... The island of Juan Fernandez that is an archipelago in the Pacific ocean with grats beaches and far away from the civilization that we known.
See some pictures of this places.
See U all!

Free post

I'm gonna make this post about a "youtube" video that show me Professor Simon, and it's about reggae. In the link below you can see a reunion of greatest artist playing a Bob Marley song (Get up, Stan up); you can see Dennis Brown, Sly & Robbie, Askwad, Ini Kamoze, and Steel Pulse the last one is one of my favourite's reggae group. I don't play any instrument but i really love the music, i try to ear it an to feel what the musiciens are trying to express.

More than an English Blog this one looks like a Reggae Blog, but at the moment it's what I like.

Now i've got to leave beacuase i've got a foot match but this post will be continued....

....so you just have to wait a couple of hours.
This picture is of Steel Pulse a great reggae group, they are funny don't you think? because of the hair maybe, jajajajaja. Let's listen some good music!!
Reggaes Rocks!!(wajajaja)

Footprint

I could not do my footprint level, it gave me 0,14 or something like that.....i try to do it more that one time but it didn't work.
So i'll try to do it again but it wasn't funny to me, maybe a little boring, but interesting.
However i can say a couple of things that, not only me, but everyone can do:
1.- It's important to try to save energy by keeping the fridge closed or disconnect the celular's charge when it's already charged.
2.- An most important is that we have to start using "transantiago" or our bicycles to move all around the city and stop using a personal car.
There is a lot of things that we can do, like to recycle and others things.
I'm going and i don't like this post, See yaa
Bless.

Album cover, or pieces of art.

This is the album cover from Bob Marley and The Wailers’ disc called Uprising wish was published in 1980 by Tuff Gong records. Here we can see a draw of Marley coming out from the earth at the same time that the sun is uprising from the mountains, and where his drealocks became tree roots, or something like it. It is known that He is one of my favourite musicians and this is a grat disc; the image of this man uprising from the earth is what Marley wanted to comunicate all over the World, that the all time represed black people was aweaking and standing against the white people and their social injustices. I saw it for the first time on the Internet but then when I travel to Spain I’ve got the chance to buy the vinil but it was too expensive so I Start looking for it in all the shops until I found it and I bought it. The most common feeling, but not the only one, that I feel when I see it is a lot of joy and hapiness for the music that contains and the ideas that it represent. I let you two others Marley’s albums cover that I also like a lot; Confrontation and Babilon by bus.

My hardest choice (joke)

I decided to study geography because, because, because, mmmmm…..well it’s beeter to say that i didn’t know what i like to study, it was between History, Gym, Gastronomy or the exotic career of geography that had a little bit of many things. The first thing I wanted to have in the university was good friends, good classmates, and to be surround by a group of nice people, so that was the reason why i wanted to be in “La Chile” because it got a lot of different people, from different places, and with many kind of thoughts.
When i realise that i wasn’t selected in History i took my chances into geography, and now i can say that it was a very good option, maybe i’m not so motivate like others classmates but i like it. At the same time i want to study others things, and learn much more about themes like pictures (photographie), sports, or even about cooking that i like a lot, so this is just a part of my studies, I hope.
Pace for all!
Jah bless

Correction of Napoleoni's BAD work

My favourite song at moment is “A LITTLE BITTER” by alice in chains.

[Song]

Alice in chains its band of the early '90s and their music style is a very special rock combining hard rock, metal, some soul rythms and much of guitar and voices, but they are considered like a grunge band. Their lyrics are very dark as well as their melodies.
This song in particulary is one of the best of the band for their melody and strange in the guitar rythm, and the powerfull and aggressiveness in the lyrics. I really like this song because its really true and it seems to me that in this song the band haven’t got fear about the things they said.First time i heard it was when i was seventeen years old. I was in a tribute and this band played this song and when i come back home i downloaded it and i really like it because i didnt knew it and it was very exiting discover it.
Well here is the direction in youtube for your entretainment.

The Last(s) movie(s) I saw

IN THIS LAST WEEK I SAW TWO MOVIES, AND I REALLY LIKE BOTH SO I MUST MAKE A LITTLE REFERENCE TO THEM HERE.


THE FIRST ONE IS CALLED "Fear and Loating in Las Vegas" BY Terry Gilliam AND WHERE THE ACTORS ARE Johnny Depp AND Benicio Del Toro; THIS IS THE STORY OF A REPORTER AND HIS LAWYER HAVING A TRIP TO Las Vegas TO DO A NEWS REPORT. ON THE ROAD THEY START TO CONSUME DRUGS, OF MANY KINDS AND IN GREAT QUANTITIES SO IT BECAME A FUNNY AND MAYBE INCOMPREHENSIBLE STORY.


THE SECOND ONE IS CALLED "Radio Corazon" BY Roberto Artiagoitïa (MORE WELL KNOWN AS "EL Rumpy") AND THE MOVIE IS LIKE THE SECOND PART OF "El Chacotero Sentimental" WHERE PEOPLE CALL TO A RADIO PROGRAM TO TELL THERE STORIES, IN MOST OF THE CASES THEY ARE LOVE OR SEX STORIES, AND THEY ASK HIM FOR HELP. THE MOVIE SHOWS US THREE DIFERENT STORIES BUT I REALLY LIKE ONLY THE FIRST ONE, THE OTHER TWO WERE A LITTLE BORING, IF I TOLD YOU WHAT THE STORIES TALK ABOUT IT WOULD BE NO FUN AT ALL, YOU MUST SEE IT, IT'S A VERY FUNNY MOVIE OF COURSE.
SEE YA ALL!

Rat race


Ah! Ya too rude /Oh what a rat race/Oh what a rat race/This is the rat race/


Some a lawful, some a bastard, some a jacket/Oh what a rat race, rat race/


Some a gorgan, some a hooligan, some a guine-gog/In this rat race, yeah!/Rat race


I'm singing/When the cats away/The mice will play/Political voilence fill ya city/Yea-ah!


Don't involve Rasta in your say say/Rasta don't work for no C.I.A./Rat race, rat race, rat race


When you think is peace and safety/A sudden destruction/Collective security for surety/Yeah!Don't forget your history/Know your destiny/In the abundance of water/The fool is thirsty/Rat race, rat race, rat race


Oh it's a disgrace to see the/Human-race in a rat race, rat race/You got the horse race/You got the dog race/You got the human-race/But this is a rat race, rat race.




The song that is above is a theme of a group called "Bob Marley & The Wailers" and it was written by Bob Marley (Robert Nesta Marley) who is the greatest reggae music player, and also is considered a peace-revolutionary men, a Rastaman.


The first time i heard the song was when i 've got like 13 or 14 years old at school in a class-break with a couple of friends in a radio and first i liked because of the music.....the REGGAE music.... that i like a lot, then i start to understand the lyrics and the thougths that Marley was trying to show to the world (freedom, justice, etc)


"In the abundance of water, the fool is thirsty", "Political voilence fill ya city" and many others lyrics in his other songs shows reality from a differen point of view, not so capitalist or "occidentalist" and more related to the nature, the good vibrations (feelings).

My favorite WEB site


My favorite web site is www.youtube.com that is a page where you can find videos, but any kind of videos that you're looking for!! (like music videos, friends videos, concerts videos, sports videos, funny videos, and many others); I've got to say that this web site is very popular in our days.
I discover the web site, well i didn't discovered by myself, because one of my university classmate wanted to show me a funny video (by the records the name of the classmate is Eduardo Muñardo, a.k.a FRODO) known as "Edgar fell over" and then i started to ask what kind of videos could i found there; because i was interested in sports videos (soccer and basketball) and also in music videos (like reggae or rap videos). After a couple of weeks i realise that some of my friends could upload their own videos of partys and soccer games. I visit the page a lot because its dynamic and you can learn many things (oldest T.V. ads and the well knowns "chascarros") looking at videos.
I like it because i got an special interest in looking images or videos and how they can be completed with music.

BBC note

THE BBC NEWS PAGES FOR LEARNING ENGLISH IS A VERY GOOD WEB SITE BECAUSE IT GOT MANY WAYS OF TEACHING THE LENGUAGE, LIKE STORIES AROUND THE WORLD OF PEOPLE DOING NOT CLASSICS ACTIVITIES BUT MORE EXOTIC THINGS, RELATED TO NATURE, OTHERS CULTURES AND OTHERS.
IT GOT ALSO A LOT OF GAMES TO PLAY AND LEARN MORE WORDS AND GRAMMATICS ASPECTS OF ENGLISH, ITS A VERY COMPLETE WEB SITE THAT INCLUYES SPORTS, RADIO, WEATHER, AND NEWS OF ALL OVER THE WORLD. I LIKE A LOT THE WEATHER PAGE BECAUSE IT HAD A DEVELOPED TECHNOLOGY TO SEE THE WEATHER ALL OVER THE WORLD; THE “PEOPLE AND PLACES” PART (WICH I DESCRIBE ABOVE) IS THE ONE THAT I LIKE MOST BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STORIES.

ITS VERY FUNNY TO READ THE DIFFERENTS ARTICLES THAT ARE PUBLISHED IN THE PAGE BECAUSE THEY ARE, LIKE I TOLD BEFORE, EXOTICS (THE ONE WHO SPOKE ABOUT CHILDRENS NAMES IN THE WORLD, BY EXAMPLE) AND NOT SO COMMON LIKE THE ARTICLES THAT WE CAN READ HERE, IN CHILE.
