The best game in the world

The videogames are one of my addiction. Some people likes drugs or alcohol. I like the videogames. My favorite game is The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. This game was released in 2003 for the Nintendo Game Cube. Since 1999 Nintendo hadn't released a game of Zelda and the fans were so excited when Wind Waker was announced
I lived in Argentina when Wind Waker was released, so I called my father who was in Chile and asked for the game. He sent it to me and I was very happy. Immediately I put de disc on mi Game Cube and started the game. The intro was beautiful. I almost cried. Then, I played Wind Waker all the day.
Basically, the Legend of Zelda is always the same. It’s an adventure game. In it you are Link, the hero of the history. You have to rescue the Princess Zelda from the evil hands of Ganon. Each game has a unique history, but the purpose is the same. In Wind Waker everything is located in the Big Sea. In it are many islands that Link have to visit to rescue the Princess Zelda.
This game was wonderful. The experts gave very good scores to Wind Waker. The graphics are so beautiful. This was the first game that used de cel shading technology. This make the game looks like a cartoon.
When I finished the game I stand up and applauded. The final was fantastic. I don’t want to spoil you, so I don’t make any comment of the final. The only thing I have to say is that the game is amazing. According to the experts, another Zelda’s game is the best, but for me, Wind Waker is the best in history.

This photograph was taken this year. In it, you can see my friend Kota and I. We were in the Juan Gomez Millas campus, near the football field known as “Calama”. That day was Holy Thursday and everyone was there drinking. My friends and I decided to take some photos with the cell phone of another friend, Nicole. It takes very good photos. In that session were many funny pictures. Nicole said us to put a tender face and suddenly, took the photo.

I picked this photo, because is so cute. Our faces are like babies, specially the face of Kota. She always has a baby face. The colors of the photo are very nice. I was wearing a yellow vest with a multi color lion in the chest. Reggae stuff. And Kota had a vest with a lot of colors. And her hair helps a lot too. It was pink! So beautiful.

I used this photo as my photo in Facebook for a long time. My friend put it too. The people confused us in the post of Facebook. It was very funny. I think this photo represents the friendship in a nostalgic way. The sepia gives the photo an old sensation. Like if we were friends to many years ago. But we still are friends.

I hope you enjoy the photo like I enjoy it. I don’t have much to say. So I’m going to say good bye. Have a nice day.

The Best Colour


I had gone to a lot of concerts in my life. Many times saw the Chilean band Chancho en Piedra live. But all those times doesn’t compare with my favourite recital. It was en October, the last year. The band was American. The name: Living Colour. For many years I loved this band because they are the best musicians of the world, I think.

I bought my ticket 3 months before the show, because I was so excited. A week before the concert, I won 2 tickets in a web contest, so I decided to invite a friend. I wanted to sell the other but I couldn’t, so it’s like a token now.

The day of the show, me and my friend went to the Teatro Teletón, and when we get there, there was only a man. We started to talk with him and he was a very nice person. Several hours ago, the doors were opened and we came in to the theatre. The band that opened the show was a Chilean band called Los Morton. They were so heavy and powerful. A very good band. After that, Living Colour came in to the stage. Every song that they play was wonderful. Vernon Reid, the guitarist, was a beast. Their solos were amazing and very fast. The drummer and the bassist were the same person, because they were connected. And Corey Glover, the singer, is from another planet. They blew my mind.

It’s my favourite show, because they are amazing musicians and I waited for they for a long time, and when I saw that they will come, I almost died.

Two "Lola"

My favorite teacher isn't a single person. There are two teachers, but they are as one. The name of both is Jorge Abarca. But, how can be this possible? They are father and son. The nickname of the father is Lola, because one of his characteristic phrases was "Lo lamento". He said that when you had a red mark or something like that. As a consequence, his son was named Lola too.
First, the father Lola teach me History, and I really love the class. He was so funny and a very good teacher. Everybody understands what he was saying. Suddenly, he left the school for different reasons and his son came as a substitute. Fortunately, he stayed for two years. His classes were like the class of his father, so it was the same. There had only a difference: Lola JR. was very young and he was like a friend for me. We told our problems to the other, trying to give a solution or a simple consolation. So that was a plus.
Both teacher very important to me, and I write about they, because they’re a single person for me.

iPod Touch (L)


Two weeks ago was my birthday. Two weeks ago I received my baby. For a long time I was in love with it, and finally I have it. The iPod Touch 8gb put a sunshine in my life. With it, I can listen to music, go into the internet, but only with a Wi-Fi connection. And it have a lot of downloadable applications. Games, music tools, news papers, Facebook, Twitter and a lot of useless things.

Since I have it, I can’t' stop using it, especially listen to music. Each song has the cover of the respective album, and it looks beautiful. It takes me a lot of time to put the image in the iPod, but t worth it. A negative point is the memory, because it’s not enough for all the music I have and I have to leave some bands out. The second thing that I most use is the Facebook and Twitter application. I can twett in every place and I really love it.

The iPod Touch is like the iPhone, but it can’t make a call and don’t have a camera. I don’t really care about that ‘cause I’m in love with the Touch. I can’t remember the time before the iPod. My life should have been so boring without the iPod.

Inmortals

My favorite band is inmortal. The Red Hot Chili Pepper's guitarrist, John Frusciante, left the band the last year, but they still there, doing great music for the people. Red Hot Chili Peppers had got a lot of members along their history: 10 guitarrist and 3 drummer. Some of them had died, others had left the band for "musical aspects". There's only two original members in the band. Anthony Kiedis, the lead vocals and the spectacular bassist, Michael "Flea" Balzary.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers made his first appearence in 1983 in a little bar of Los Angeles California under the name of Tony Flow and the Miraculously Majestic Master of Mayhem. In the same year, they recorded his first album named Red Hot Chili Peppers.

In 1988 the original guitarrist, Hillel Slovak, died in an hotel room by a his heroin addiction. After a few guitarrist, John Frusciante joined the Chili Peppers. In 1991 they recorded the album that launched band to the fame. Blood Sugar Sex Magik is considered one of the best albums in the rock's history. Songs like Give it Away or Under the Bridge was in that record.

In 1992 Frusciante left the band for first time, and the guitarrist of Jane's Addiction, Dave Navarro, replace him. Navarro only recorded the experimental One Hot Minute in 1995. After that, John returned to the band.

The following records were Californication (1999), By the Way (2002) and Stadium Arcadium (2006). That was the golden age of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Today, they are working in a new album with their new guitarrist Josh Klinghoffer. All the fans are waiting the end of the 2010. The new record will be released there.

There's a live performance of their classic song "Around the World"

Across the Universe

Write in your home feels very fine. I didn't go to my favorite class, and I have to do the homework here in the comfortableness of my house.

The today's topic is your favorite movie. I really haven't a favorite movie, because I don't watch a lot of movies, so I'm going to write about a movie that I saw yesterday. A girl lend it to me and she said: "you will love it!". She was right.

The name of the movie is Across the Universe, and it's a musical movie. Sincerely, I don't really care about the actors, the director or the story. I saw it because the sound track. All the songs are Beatles's songs, and each song is connected with the history. Some versions are better than the original and it makes me happy. But some are terrible and it makes me sad.

To conclude, the movie is very bad, but I love it. The music blows my mind and I don't have nothing more to say.

There's a video taken from the movie. The song is Strawberry Fields Forever. I really loved the video. Enjoy.

A bad dream

That night I was talking with Nicolás in MSN. Suddenly mi chair started to move. I wrote "oh, it's moving!" to Nico. But I didn't send it. I stood up and ran to my parent's room and they woke up too. Inmediatily my father went to the principal door and the rest of the family followed him. He opened the door and started to calm down my little brother. I saw my brother and my father, but I didn't saw my mother, and I was worried. The lamps started to crash between it and the light had gonne. The sound was terrible and I really thought that I will be dead in a few minutes.

The movement finished and I went to the window and saw something terrible: Santiago was dark with a very strange cloud of dust over it and the people was screaming. It's one of the worst moment of my life.

Then, I went to my room and it was a disaster. I took my phone and turned on the radio. "A earthquake with a 8,8 magnitud in the Richter's scale", said the locutor. I didn't know what happen.

It's my second time making a blog. The first one was when I had to create a blog in the school. It was about a band named Living Colour. I remember that the blog was something like "The Black Beatles". Whatever, it happened like five years ago.
Now, I tried to put a easy name to the blog, because I forget them very fast. Rocky Racoon is a Beatles's song. I listen to it frequentely, so I can remember it.
My blog experience is very poor. I don't like it very much because nobody is gonna read me. Maybe my mother.
That's all for today. I hope that the my love for the blogs grow.

There's the song that inspire me in this moment
