Do you like blogs?

Personally, I don't. Sometimes, I just think it's a waste of time, and it's a bit boring, or at least when you beggin with it. It's cool to share information, your opinion and other stuff with people you don't know, but I don't like to do it when there's no feedback. Usually I like to discuss things with other people on internet about topics that I like to talk about, but when it comes to do it frequently, I think i'm just wasting my time and if you do it, because a school assignature requires it, it's even worst. Let's see if I change my mind with the pass of time...

Youtube

Youtube is one of the most visited websites in the internet. It's used to upload videos of any kind of topics. People upload songs, tutorials, movies, videogames content, etc... Almost everyday I visit it, because it's pretty entertaining. I watch mostly, famous youtubers who uploads parodies about songs, videogames walkthroughs, and song lyrics too. I like to share my opinion with other people who watch the same stuff as I do and support the folks who upload things just to entertain or help us, even though, I know that most part of them get paid for the views. I remember when I was little and it's only useful purpose was  listen to music and throughout time, things changed a lot, but I think it is quite better now. 

What's the best age?

The Illuminati

                                                 ·Its known as the order of the perfect ones. It's a secret society which was created with the secret purpose of beating the other countries governments and kingdoms, creating one only nation and eradicate any other religion·.
I can't agree with this. There are no perfect people in this world. It's impossible to achieve perfection and if you don't like the other religions, you just sit tight and greeth your teeth, because you have to respect the other cultures and religions. About destroying the governments, I understand, you don't like how it works, but if people are not satisfied, with the ones they already have, why would they enjoy to be part of a obligatory and unique government.

I hear people talk about it, a lot, like they influence in our lives, meanwhile, they're just a bunch of guys who act secretly, but yet, they got money and power. You doesn't have to bother too much about it. They're objectives are almost impossible to achieve and they've been existing since 1776, and I don't see how they make part of the history.

Sports

                                      
Practice a sport, is something that's primordial in people's life. It's a hobby which keeps you busy for a long time, specially, if you try to master it. I've been practicing Basketball since I was 9 and man, I really love it. I doesn't only occupy your free time, but if you're really consistent practicing it, you get some physical improvements and upgrade your motor coordination.
I really think running is one of the best activities to improve your physical, but I find it really boring when you're just running for that. I mean I like to do it, but only if there's some sort of competition, playing in teams, trying to reach a goal. But it's not just about running around like fools; you got to use your head too, for a lot of different situations, especially in basket, I think.
If you're someone lazy, sloppy, someone who just spend the day siting around your ass, join a sport team. Use your a ambition as a method to keep going, and you'll see that in the end, It benefits you.

Two and a Half Men

                                         
PLOT:
"Two and a half men" is an american  Tv show that started on september 22, 2003. The series began with Alan, Charlie and Jake, the Harper family. When Alan gets divorced from his wife, Judith, he gets kicked out of home and after searching a lot, he asks charlie to stay at his home, with Jake for a couple of days or weeks ( ends up being years).
Charlie life is based on writing commercial jingles with his piano, alcohol, prostitutes and waking up when it's already by the night,and soon, Alan is going to get pissed because this is not a proper enviroment for his son to be living, although, he can't do nothing because it's Charlie's house.
Alan is a massagist who has to deal with his son, work, argue with his wife almost everyday, and has no success with woman. His life is miserable and painful, because he almost have no money, and he always wanted to be like his brother, or at least, live like him, but both of them have one weakness: Their mother. She's called Evelyn and during the series, she's described as the worst mother of the world, a demon and a bad influence for her sons. She used to hang out with guys, and had Alan accidentaly( she said it to Alan).

Personal Opinion: 
I really loved to watch this program. Used to laugh a lot watching it almost every night in neox. I highly recommend it( not if you're 12 or less). Almost every character has an important role in the story, and I garantee that you will not regret giving it a chance.
Forgot something. Maybe you'll find it a bit boring after season 8, because Charlie got kicked out, because he used to be late to record, used to be drunk during the assays and he complained about: 1.000.000 dollars per episode was to low for him. Oh c'mon man...Guess who replaced him.
Ashton Kutcher, the funniest guy in the world. Sarcasm.

Ghetto Gospel

                                                 
I'm gonna talk to you guys about music, but more in particular, my favourite song, which is Ghetto Gospel. First of all, It's made by Eminem, but who sings is 2pac and Elton John. At it's release, 2pac was already dead, and you're going to be wondering: How is it possible? If he's dead, How is he singing? Well, to see how much important 2pac was you must take notice at little details like, other famous rappers grab 2pac's quotes from songs that aren't released yet, or from interviews, etc... and put them together to make that glorious song. When I listen to it, I feel the struggle of his life, i see the struggle from people who live in the ghetto; resuming, my eyes get open, to a brand new world, and Elton John's chorus with the piano it's just, FANTASTIC.

The video begins with a lady crying over the dead body of her son, which just got shot during a "drive by".After that, the whole song, is a flashback, witnessing the boy's last day.

Elton John's Chorus: Those who whish to follow me
                                   I Welcome with my hands
                                   And the red sun sinks at last, into the hills of gold
                                   And peace to this young warrior, without the sound of guns
           
                                 ·Aquellos que me intenten seguir
                                  Les acogeré con mis manos
                                  Y porfin el sol rojo se hunde, en las colinas de oro
                                  Y paz a este joven guerrero, sin el ruido de las armas

I would like to share some quotes from the song before i go:

It ain't about black and white cause we're human, I hope we see the light before it's ruined
·No se trata sobre blanco y negro porque somos humanos, espero que veamos la luz antes de que se arruine·
If I upset you, don't stress, never forget, that god hasn't finished with me yet.
Si te decepciono, no te preocupes, nunca olvides que dios aún no ha terminado conmigo
Before we found the world peace, we gotta find peace and end the war in the streets
Antes de encontrar la paz mundial, tenemos que encontrar la paz y acabar con la guerra en las calles.

Here's the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Do5MMmEygsY

Film Review: Poetic Justice

In this film, we see the world through the eyes of main character Justice, a young African-American poet. After the shooting death of her boyfriend, Markell, who had some beefs on the streets, she falls into a deep depression. She spents the whole day taking care of her cat, in the house she inherited from her mother or working at a local hair salon. One day, she mets Lucky, a postman who comes in the salon, and start flirting with her, but she fakes a lesbian relationship with her boss to mock him away, and Lucky gets mad.

After a couple of days, Lucky and Chicago ( Lucky's co-worker at the post office) get orders to drive to Oakland to deliver some posts and Chicago's girlfriend, Lesha, convinces Justice to go with them because she had to go there for a hair show, and Lucky needed to meet his cousin, who's a famous rapper and Lucky wanted to become a rapper just like him.

At the beginning of the trip, Lucky and Justice argue a lot, but through the trip, they're going to see, they have a lot of things in common, meanwhile the other couple, Chicago and Lesha's relationship is getting increasingly broken.

The foursome make a couple of detours, the first being a family reunion barbecue. Here it becomes apparent  that Iesha and Chicago's relationship is troubled. Iesha openly flirts with other men at the barbecue, while Chicago broods watching her behavior. The second stop is a beach where each of the four characters contemplate their separate situations. Next, they stop at an African Cultural Fair where Lucky and Justice grow closer as they discuss their lives. After leaving the fair, the friction between Chicago and Iesha explodes when Iesha tells to Chicago she has been seeing someone on the side and he hits her. Lucky initially decides not to get involved in the fight until Justice defends Iesha by kicking Chicago in the back, and Chicago turns his physical brutality on Justice. Lucky, Justice, along with a bleeding and shaken Iesha leave Chicago by the side of the road and continue on their journey.

Lucky stops the postal van at a beach, and Justice goes to see what's wrong. She begins opening up to him about her life and Lucky becomes sympathetic. They share a kiss and Justice walks away apparently unsure of her feelings for Lucky. She goes back to him and they share another kiss.

When they arrive in Oakland, they are met with the news that Lucky's cousin, with whom he had been working on recording music, has been killed. Lucky blames himself for not being in Oakland sooner, believing he could have prevented the shooting. He turns his anger on Justice, angrily blaming her for distracting him while they were on the road.

Some months have passed, and Lucky and Keisha meet up with Justice again back at the hair salon, just at the moment Lucky brings in his daughter Keisha. Lucky is remorseful over his conduct in Oakland and the cruel words he said to Justice there, and apologizes. She smiles at him and they share a passionate kiss. Justice smiles, and then turns her attention to Keisha, fussing over her hair. Justice and Lucky's eyes meet over Keisha's head and they smile...

Poetic Justice was one of the best movies i've ever seen. I really enjoyed the plot twist, seeing how Lucky and Justice were more and more closer. there was some funny moments, and sad ones too, but seeing them together in the end, was really cool, and mixing the ghetto stuff, the 90's style, Tupac (lucky) who's my favourite rapper made a perfect movie.

'Anti-government' gun attack in Texas

-I was searching for some news in th web and then I saw THAT..People call him, the lonely terrorist hahah, take a look!:

A gunman who attacked downtown buildings and the Mexican Consulate in Austin, Texas, before being shot, may have had political reasons, say police.

The white, middle-aged man fired at the consulate, the police headquarters and a courthouse early on Friday morning.

He was shot by police but it is not clear whether he was fatally wounded or took his own life.

Police said it looked like an "anti-government" attack and pointed to the "heated" immigration debate.

When asked if it was a political attack on the government, Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo said: "If you look at the targets that were hit, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that that's a potential."

The political discourse around immigration, he added, "becomes very heated and very angry and sometimes the rhetoric is not healthy".

No-one was injured in the attack and a fire the man started at the consulate caused very little damage.

The man was unidentified but described as white and about 50 years old.

After being shot, officers noticed cylinders in his vehicle nearby and discovered he was wearing a vest they thought might be rigged to blow up.

A bomb squad was called but they determined that the items were not explosive.

President Barack Obama recently took action, bypassing Congress, to lift the threat of deportation for more than four million undocumented people living illegally in the US.

The man's home is now being searched.

Personal opinion: More than 4 million undocumented people living illegally in the US, and then, this guy appears on a friday morning doing this, and you're propably gonna think: " Yeah, he did this because he's mad at the government and their laws about immigration", but he doesn't have the right to do this, obviously. The man was unidentified and by now, the police is searching his home. Sooner or later, they're going to find it.

Vocabulary:

Sooner or later: Tard o d'hora

Wounded: ferit

injured: lesionat

Missing boy: Atlanta false wall find after four years

       

Man, watching Tv news on sunday is so funny and awful at the same time. Sometimes you laugh, and sometimes you see things you didn't want to see, like this one, check it out:

-The teenager was found behind a fake wall, as Alpa Patel reports

Continue reading the main story

A 13-year-old boy reported missing four years ago has been found hidden behind a false wall at a house in Atlanta, Georgia.

The boy, whose name has not been released, managed to text information about his hiding place to his mother who then relayed it to police.

Police have now reunited him with his mother.

The boy's father and a woman have been arrested on charges including cruelty to children and false imprisonment.

My opinion: Ok, I get it. The father and the stepmother doesn't wanted the children, but instead of get rid of him, sending him straight to his mother's house, they lock him behind the panel of a lining closet in the garage of the house. I don't even know what to think, but man, poor kid. 4 years missing...It must've been an eternity tho.

Vocabulary:

stepmother: madrastra

relayed: retransmès

Ferguson shooting: Darren Wilson quits police force

     

I was reading some news on the internet this morning, and suddenly, I saw this one at the bbc's main page, and I wanted to know what happenned. You can read it right below:

-The white police officer who fatally shot unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in the US town of Ferguson has resigned, his lawyer says.

Darren Wilson, who had been on administrative leave since the killing, told a newspaper he did not want to put the lives of police colleagues at risk.

Resigning was, he said, the "hardest thing" he had ever had to do.

Rioting rocked Ferguson and other towns this week after a jury decided he should not be charged over the killing.

The BBC's Washington correspondent, Tom Esslemont, says that to many in Ferguson, it was only a matter of time before Mr Wilson resigned.

His lawyer said his resignation was effective immediately.

The 9 August shooting in the St Louis suburb and the decision not to charge Mr Wilson triggered a nationwide debate over relations between black communities and law enforcement.

'Safety paramount'

The St Louis newspaper said Mr Wilson, 28, had decided to step down after his police department received threats of violence if he stayed on as an employee.

The cop:

The boy:

Personal opinion: The teenager, had his hands up, and he was unarmed, but Mr. Wilson shot him because he thought the boy was a threat to his colleagues, and that's where you can find the mistake, although mr Wilson said he's giving up on being a cop, because he said: "If I cant protect people, I'm not doing it properly", but that's not going to bring the kid back to live. There are no criminal charges against the cop, although, the US justice department has launched an invesgation  into whether Mr Wilson violated Mr Brown's civil rights.

Vocabulary:

Riot: motí

Criminal charges: càrrecs criminals

Resigning: dimitint
