Old and New Hobbies...

Hobbies for me are my own way to escape the reality not for vanity or being selfish, but the most part of the day I don’t feel comfortable with myself and I try to become something else every time, that’s why videogames are my main hobby, to have the opportunity to travel among other wonderful new worlds and experiment a new kind of emotions and sensations, while you are sit in your world controlling other different characters all of them with their own stories to tell.

But even with videogames as a hobby they’re all sometimes frustrating and a little bit stressful (Dark Souls), so when that happens, my new escape is the music. As a child my dream were to become a great pianist, it was an amazing hobby, every single day going to piano classes and practicing even without warming up, but now for medical issues I can’t play piano anymore, but trying to keep on with the music and practicing other instruments, without problems to play, like cello and some keyboard, as I written some months ago in some older posts the last semester; music and videogames are my main hobbies, I’m not really good at sports, and I don’t like too much reading, but except all of that, I try to make any other activity available to improve myself, for example, I would like to learn other kind of instruments to play and maybe become good at it, the theater is also a very interesting idea for me, but I have not enough time to dedicate myself to that. But someday I will.

Your Brain And You

Once you woke up in the morning you are trying to remain without falling asleep and just keep living the day just like we all have to live, we see the same people and eat the same food that most probably we already have eaten before, so why don’t we just drive ourselves mad? Why aren’t we thinking like savages trying to escape from our reality and routine? That’s because we have an amazing and strong brain, up here inside your head…it’s only a little bigger than your fist and it's divided in four lobes, but it’s making stronger since we born, no matter how we are, we all have thoughts and desires guiding us to a future filled with adventures that only our own brains can see, or maybe this is not an adventure, it’s just a boring and predictable movie, or a chess match against the life itself, all of that is only possible because of our brains working all together at the same time, seeing different realities and perspectives; I’m not very good to understand all the different points of view in a situation, but some people can, their brains are amazing; also we are all able to think and imagine other kind of things maybe extremely different from my thoughts.

As I said, our brains are getting stronger and faster every day, probably just by reading this words your brain is improving itself right now, we are always seeing, listening, touching, smelling and tasting the world around us, and all that experiences improve our brains and after that, improve us,what we do, our decisions and desires, our dreams and hopes, even our deepest secrets, our brain

 keep all of that, and is always ready for some action unexpected for us.  

That’s why we are wonderful machines and capable to solve problems, create cities and even entire continents, and also it can destroy all of that, just because we have a brain working for us, with us, and if you want to, against us. We decide what we can eat, how to study, how we fall in love, but a healthy brain it’s very difficult to me to differentiate. Would you draw the line between an insane and a healthy mind?

The Best Concert Ever

I love music, a good song gives me a lot of fun and makes me feel in a beautiful environment no matter where or how I am in that moment, but a live concert is the same music with the feeling multiplied for one thousand, the adrenaline and dopamine fills all the present public, with an atmosphere of good music and a crowd of music lovers. I try to go to any possible concert, but it’s always difficult, I can’t go to all the concerts I want, until this date, I’ve only been in classical music concerts as a member of an orchestra or as a member of the public, same thing with rock and metal concerts, playing and listening covers and original hard music.

A little photograph I took

The best concert I remember took place this same year, at the O’Higgins Park, on April 1^st, the Lollapalooza; there I heard many kinds of music, but more specifically I heard Metallica’s concert. Metallica is a heavy and thrash metal band raised in Los Angeles, United States; in the concert I was able to saw the four members of the band, on flesh and bones, the place was filled with a huge crowd of people, even four of five hours before the event, with the concert of Rancid, another great band of punk rock, on both of them was an environment just a little suffocating, but with the time and with the moshes the space there grew up a little, but been there was one of the most exciting experiences of my life.
