A good life...

I remember that I said in this blog that making music is not my hobbie but the English Pedagogy career is; so I want to expound my point through this entry.
I don't study this course because I'm in freaking love with teaching or being a model for children and spend the rest of my life in a classroom. I'm honest since the first day of class: I'm doing this because this is the easiest way to make money for me and of course because I'm the first university guy in my family with all that implies. I mean, English is the least thing hard for me that I kind of like it (apart from music, duh?).
And about my dream and future job, I'll work a few years to buy all the stuff that I'll need, like guitars, basses, amps, pedals, tubes, strings, etc. And apart from that, of course, a car and a house, but that is less important for me.
Then, I will make my golden dream come true: playing bass professionally in a Jazz band. And think I'll be happy at least. (Honestly I don't see so much future in "Metal" music, at least in this country, so at this moment it's just a game for me). If that doesn't happen, I will always have this certificate and I will be able to still making money and live but with some frustration. But I won't let that happen!

Sorry I'm late

All right. Now we have to talk about Tv shows, right?
Well, first of all, I'm a guy who likes any genre of TV shows, (if they're good, obviously). But my favourites are the comedy shows, either sitcoms, stand ups, etc.
But the pinnacle of my taste is the "Family Guy" series.
This is a sitcom created by the genius Seth MacFarlane for the Fox Company. I didn't know who I was until I found "Family Guy".
This series has everything: black humor, irreverence, swearing, a evil-talking baby (who is covertly homosexual), a martini-lover dog, a sex-creized neighbour, a black man, a paraplegic, and the list goes on.
The Griffin family live in Quahog, Road Island. and all the characters are just crazy.
All the humor resides mainly in the characters as I mencioned earlier, specially in the main character, Peter Griffin. This guy is a irish descent and retarded and enjoys activities such as going to up-market tailors and farting inside the suits. Always helped by Brian, his dog and best friend.
And some details: The soundtrack for EVERY situation in the series is absolutely amazing; in the Big Band Jazz style, with a complete orchestra and everything. Also a important point are the flashbacks: sometimes someone makes a reference of any kind and instantly a wierd flashback appears.
As an important point they were cancelled several times. But as the fans demanded their DVD collections, they went back.
The baby, Stewart "Stewie" Gilligan Griffin is the flamboyant and eccentric one year old infant of Peter and Lois Griffin. Stewie, equipped with his teddy bear, Rupert and his laser gun, has, on several occasions, almost single handedly taken over the world and he seems to be obsessed with world domination and matricide.
Absolutely the greatest TV show of all time.

Wie Sind Die Nacht

I'd put a Zombie's movie but, in my case it's kind of obvious, isn't it?

I have to say I'm tired of all cliches about vampires and stuff. Every year is the same, and the male vampire image is even more bastardized. VAMPIRES ARE NOT NICE PEOPLE! They are not friendly or moral. They are totally evil. And this movie that I saw a couple of months ago keeps it clear.

"Wir Sind Die Nacht" (or "We are the night") is a german movie about a female vampire that had been searching all her "life" her missed love. Through different ages and centuries she had met two young girls with the hope to find that love.

Louise (the name of the "vampire-boss"), Charlotte and Nora (the other two "conquests") came to Paris to continue the search. In that place there is another girl named Lena who is a thief and a fugitive. Louise  finded her beacuse she thought she was that missed love, so she trapped and bited her. Then Lena became a vampire without understand the reason why. But Louise gave her a life totally apart from this world. I mean, she with Charlotte and Nora always had had everything they wanted: money, jewels, clothes, sex, etc. All the stuff women likes. Obviously leaving a trail of homicides and murders behind.

And of course this movie has the reasonable mount of blood and deaths for me, even when this is a kind of "chicks" movie it's good enough for me.

Rarer than japanese punks

"Culture Clash" is understood as the union of two cultures what is difficult to understand each other, not so much because of the language but also because of their traditions or actions.
For instance, a known phenomenon happens with young asian americans. They are absolutely concerned about trying to look, speak and act like the american average and imitate the western culture. The sex topic is usually common in this cases. But the clash occurs when this young people's parents are not agree with this behaviour and they will try to impose their asian heritage.
I choosed this example mainly beacuse I see this sort of exhange of cultures but in this case the only culture that is modified is the asian one. This is more notorius when you see the "Fast and Furious: Tokio Drift" movie. Here we can see the Tokio city as a replica of New York or Chicago cities, also the life style, different idioms, clothes, etc. I mean, we are talking about Japan! Where are the samurais, ninjas, kimonos or whatever? I think it was totally absorbed by the western culture. But again, the clash happens when japanese people oppose to this "exchange".
As a daily example, for me, is sometimes a see some false people in the centre of Santiago who wear clothes with slogans like "I don't f**king care about it" or even "I'm a douchebag". I suppose they wear that kind of clothes because that is written in english (oh yeah, everything in english sounds better), but they don't know the meaning of that expressions or they know it but "who cares".
