2014, First Semester

This is my first semester on the University and it has a lot of good things. In the good things I can appoint that I read a too much books, I have to say that this almost destroy my mental sanity. Anyway, it was really interactive, refreshing and satisfying; I can delve in topics that are really interesting to me, specially in psychology, philosophy and history. I also share with a lot of different new people, students and teachers. Sharing cigarettes, beers, and a good conversation about a lot of deep topics.

 The worst thing that I remember was one day that we go to the zoo to observe animals. I don't rally like go to the zoo, the animals seems so sad and mortuary in their confinement. The ambient makes me feel a deep heartache.
Another not so good things are stay awake all the night doing works and reading. Sometimes one get trapped in a lot of evaluations in the terror weeks, and feel that is no time for doing other things, like other projects, see movies, feast or even sleep eight hours (this things become a sort of privilege).

I expect that in the next semester I can study another intriguing things, I hope leave nothing to the last time, and in this way be able to do another activities with my friends.

Early Sunsets Over Monroeville

 My Chemical Romance isn't my favorite band, but I this album delight me. It's not really the 'perfect' song, but I'ts really significant to me.
This song doesn't have a complex musical structure, is very simple in fact.
The lyrics are based on the song 'Dawn of the Dead'. Talks about a couple, happy with her love and the simple things, but suddenly the lyrics are about how they have to run and hide. Finally the woman is bitten. The man have the dilemma of shoot her or let her kill him.

I really like this songs. In the first part it's very relaxing and comfortably, but It's ends with a very desperate voice and death growls shouting 'But this anyone notice? But this anyone care?' that really thrill me. It's so strange think how a truly peaceful life can turn into the angst of have to shoot to the one who used to love you.
My favorite part of the song is when, in the last part it says:

There's no room in this hell,

There's no room in the next,

But does anyone notice there's a corpse in this bed?

I think that is the perfect reflection of the absurdism, the absence of the sense in his life. The fact than the man can take that he have to shoot her weapon.  But does anyone notice there's a corpse in this bed? His corpse in fact, he is dead a priori. 'But does anyone notice this is a nonsense? If  I killed her... then why?'

He  lives in a earthly hell, and knows that is no place for him in any hell.

Maybe It's a perfect song at all.

A band that I love but nobody knows

Aspasia is a chilean post-rock band. They mix the music and diferents text from some speechs, books, poetry, movies or they put her own lyrics, but they rarely sings on their songs, they prefer to read over the music.
Their lyrics are about politic, society and philosofy of diferents topics, like human condition and existencialism. One of my favorites songs is about the 'hedgehog dilemma' of Schopenhauer

This is the first member of Aspasia. At the beginning, he was the only member.
I meet her in Parque Bustamante, when I buy his disc.

I meet them for a friend, I show them 'Gonzales y los asistentes' other post-rock chilean band, and he talk me about Aspasia, when I go home I can't stop of listen them

The first job of Aspasia was released in 2008, now they have a lot of albums on their website so you can download them for free.

They are so recognised, but sadly only in the underground post-rock scenario. I never see them in live, and I really want to, but I don't have had the oportunity yet.

There's the first song that I hear from them:

I really hope that you like them!

 

My favorite piece of technology

I don't really have some like a favorite piece of technology, but if i had to choose one, I would choose the headphones. 

 They are amazing, you can listen your music in every situation, you can use them whenever you want. 

 They are in diferents forms, colors, quality and size. Personally I prefer the headphones that makes you can't hear nothing except the music, they are so useful when you want to read or concentrate in something,  but the people makes a lot of noise. I don't like the bigger headphones, carry them is really unconfortable.

 When I'm tired in class, I like to sleep and listen some music with my headphones.

Expectations for the semester

This semester I want to find a place to record some songs and then can listen them and share it with my friends. I expect to find the time to read all the books that the teachers recommend, I find them so interesting. I hope to go away to some close cities with my friends, and maybe, in holidays, go to camp with them. I have a lot of movies that I want to see. Finally, I'm trying to exempt of the exams and have longer vacations, I really wish make it, but it will be hard.

Biography

I have seventeen years old and I live in La Florida. I'm studying psychology, this is my first year in the university.
I like the music, a lot of styles and genres. I also like the literature, one of my favorite writer is Allan Poe, I really believe that his style is something unique.
 I used to have a dog, now I simply love them, but the hedgehogs and the crows are animals that have big importance to me too.
 I like to play guitar, sometimes I can play it for hour, trapped in the music, and not get bored. I write and draw in my free time, even in the classroom. I really love take the things and put them in the paper.
My name's Mauricio.
