What a wonderful job...

Hello everybody. The task is to think in jobs I would like to work. In general, young people think that the job is something that we do to get money, but you have to do what is your vocation, if is possible. Others, might a little older, think that the job is only to get by on what you earn, maintain your family and pay for life. I think that is a mix of both, and the path you take depends of how much possibilities you have in the decision’s moment.
When you don’t have possibilities to choose what you want to do, for example, finished college, if you want to study something before get a job, and you can’t because of the money, so you have to get a job before study what you like, and there your desires and your time have to invest for need. Many people have to do a sacrifice in these cases and others similar, and after this, they’re not happy with what they are doing, and the jobs obtain the worst part, all the carry of boredom, unhappily and frustration. It is really dangerous because the people in this situation can fall in a deeply sadness.
A job that all of us would like, I think is to be a rock star, because the people think that is a job of fun and pleasure, like KISS. Obviously, if I could choose one job, I would choose it. I will enjoy it because I would have free pass to go to any concert, I would have fun, I would doing something really creative, and without any annoying boss. Also, go around the world, know every country, city, stadiums and theatres, I would see the museums and arts of every place, etc.
I know some guys who have a life of these characteristics, like a rock star, but they aren’t very famous or rich, they are Chilean musicians, so the reality here and today is very different. Many musicians that I still can call them rocks star, can be founded during the day working in a store and at night, in a gig with the band, because we all know that music in Chile isn’t profitable.
I’m sorry if my post isn’t very serious, but I think that dreaming is funnier than think about what really I would finish doing in my life. I hope you like it.

Regards!

Sing!

Hello dear classmates and teacher. Today I will tell you about a famous person that I would like to meet in the present. After look at a large list, I have chosen an important woman musician. Her name is Anneke Van Giersbergen, she is the singer of Agua de Annique and ex The Gathering. I would like to meet her because I’m admirer of her for too long ago, because her voice and creativity are unique and wonderful to me. I have seen her in a gig with Agua de Annique in 2009, and I love it, but now I would like to have a conversation with her and ask her for her life, for the things that she had to work and pass to be in the place she is. I think that her life weren’t easy, because she start her musician career very young, maybe she had to leave her family or boyfriend to get her goal.

I would like to tell her that she is so talent, well, she has to know it yet, but the thing is that I found in her an inspiration to go on in the music and band’s things. Also, that to my eyes, she is different from the rest of singers of her genre, there are many very talented women but she is the one that, for example, emphasize in the music, in the singing, and not in the image, she never want to be a sexy icon or a beautiful model to the audience, and I value it very much.

I think that meet her would be interesting because I listen her music, and I believe that it has very much of her within. Somehow I feel that maybe I am like her, because we both are singers and we both try to sing and play guitar or keyboards, but on instruments we aren’t very virtuous in a theoretical sight, we like the interpretation, our strong is the voice and what we can say, I think. She is very humble, so I would like to meet her someday and ask her for advice.

A perfect Day

Hello my dear reader. The task is really creative this time. I have to devise a perfect day, think in what I would do, with who I would spend it, where, etc. Before this, we had to hear a song that says ideas about this topic. “Perfect day”: what amazing song by Lou Reed, holy lord! My imagination turns on with the first verses and chords. I have the feeling that a perfect day wouldn't be made by the place where you be, even not by with who you be with, but for what and how you feel at the day. Like the song says, a perfect day could be in the park, at the zoo with the animals, etc. but the perfect day have to “keep me hanging on“, I mean, the day have to make sense inside of me, or take away the sense of maintain routine, and make me feel like there’s nothing else to do tomorrow that make me concern, like song said: “problems are left alone“.

The thing that give sense in my imaginary perfect day, could be a person, for example, one guy I would like to stay and spend time, and maybe fall in love, because I think the first approaches to a person you like, are the best of love, when you're knowing someone. Other thing that would make me happy would be a concert of a band I really like, but it would be absolutely perfect if we could buy the VIP ticket and hear the concert in a very comfort place, instead of being crushed against other sweaty backs... jaaaaa.

Well, the perfect day is not so utopian, I think I've had perfect days. For example, my last no-birthday, I was with people that I really love, family and friends, they made me a celebration and they gave me a gift, something really tender to me, and they made me really happy.

This is my devise of a perfect day. I hope you like it.

TIME STAND STILL! Now!

Hello everybody, I hope you had a awesome weekend. I had it, I had recovering much sleep, lost in the last two weeks because of the university. But, well I’m here for the task.

After all, I have to say that I hate to name some music piece like a favourite, because in my case, it change all the time. I have songs in a list, but it is something like my own Golden List, were I put songs that really touch me, forever and ever. At the moment, I have a song blowing my mind far far away. I don’t know when I heard it for the first time, but I remember what struck me out, and this is definately the lyrics. The song is called Time Stand Still and it is by RUSH, of their album Hold your Fire. The special thing of this song, is that it is an amazing description of when we all feel that the time is passing too fast, and we don’t even notice that we are living. Life is full of meaning, that we make from the impressions and and sensations that we take of it. But sometimes time flies, and we ignoring all this feelings, having a life without sense. The song said that the little moments of living and feel, like feel the wind, the light, the sun on you back, stop and “see all the people and places that sorrounds me now”, all the things that the most part of the time we let fade away from our memory, because we focus in other thing, like job, university, we focus on the comply, beyond the enjoy the minute of life. When finally realize this, we wish to freeze time for some minutes, and we would feel the really taste of living. The final task that this lyric said to us, is to live every feeling as the last. I like it very much, apart from music, the message is strong and true. In this moment, in this minute, in this freeze sensation, Time Stand Still is my favourite song. And next Sunday, I will hear it live in the concert of RUSH in Chile! I’m so happy!

Regards!

Which country would I like to go to?

Hello! Today the task is to write about a country I would like to go. Well, obviously this place is unknown to me, so the job today is to my imagination mainly. The country I would like to visit, apart from the entire European continent, is England. Why? This country has a plus over the rest of the continent, because I would like to live and work there. I don’t have any concrete information about on what can I work there, but I imagine that the labor situation wouldn’t be so bad to me. I would get a job in something with my career related, but nothing that consume all my time, attention and patience, because if I think about what I would do there, springs to my mind an image of me travelling along the country, and also other nearby countries, so to do this, I would need a lot of free time. I would like to go to the Wembley Stadium, and wish Freddy Mercury was alive to hear him there with QUEEN, but this is dream too much now… but I resign to the reality, and I would be satisfy with be there in a music festival, it would be great! Then, at the afternoon, I would take a boat around the Palace of Westminster, and see the beautiful lights that the pictures shows us in the Internet. I would enjoy even taking those of the red Routemaster double-decker buses.

After a time in London, I would like to move to Germany, specifically to Dresden. I would like to the same of what I would like to do in London, live and work, but mainly, to knowing places. I saw pictures of Dresden, and I believe is beautiful, it have the Elbe Valley, such a wonderful green paradise, that had a place in the World Heritage Committee during five years, but then the construction of an expressway made the valley lose it. Dresden has a grandiose architecture, which is combined with the nature perfectly. Also it has a very important classical music tradition and history, and this is very interesting to me.
