the perfect song 




the perfect song for me is "last days of disco" from the american band Yo La Tengo. Yo La Tengo is my favorite band. I love that they exist, because always, when someone ask me about my favorite band  (A VERY VERY VERY DIFFICULT QUESTION), I can answer "Yo La Tengo" full of confidence and proud. 

Anyway, talking about the perfect song to me, "Last Days of Disco" reminds me about a hard time when I was a teenager, the song just to made feel, sad but at the same time it was full of beauty, I just to listen to it all day and never get tired of it. Until now I love the beauty mixed with other feelings, I think anything happens once in a time; is all the stuff happening at the same time like the song of insinuate  in a kind of way (that's my reading). 


 I don't want to do a spoiler of the full lyrics, but it is like a poem, so simple and so complex, complex because they talk about a memory related to a song, and talk about the feelings the secret song the song is about evokes. And the music is very soft and nostalgic (like the lyrics). The past year I saw Yo La Tengo live for the first time, I wanted so hard to listen that song in direct, but they didn't  play it. I a way, I like they didn't play it, because now I have the hope that some day I will see they again and they maybe play  "Last days of disco".

My  opinion about the use of blogs in the English class I think is a very useful tool to us to lear English, and try to express ourselves  by writting is a big challenge, sometimes I think in something to say or write about, but I don't know the words, so I start to look aways to say it, and that means I start learning vocabulary and new expresions or another ways to say what I mean. Another thing I like about using the blog in English class is the topics that you propose, I really enjoyed writing about an important picture ("every picture tells a story") or writting about the cinematic potencial of Santiago city ("Santiago from my study program's point of view") and another topics. It makes me look for information or think about things I didn't write about before.

A movie that I love A movie that I love is Coppola's "Rumble Fish", I really love that movie;  all the daydream aesthetics on it  work so good. To me, watch the movie is like a sensorial experience, but thats not the only reason because I love the movie.  In my own biography "Rumble Fish" has a lot of significations, is weird, but my mom and my uncles create a kind of simbolism around the movie. They see themselves in the movie characters.  The Motorcycle Boy  is the older brother ( who died two years ago, so you can imagine all the emotions around the movie),  Rusty James  is my younger uncle, he is very very similar to the character in a physical and in a mental way. That's why I love the movie, I could talk about it all day because is a beautiful movie whit a lot of meanings for me.  "A movie that I hate" is a hard question, I think a intentionally  forget about the bad movies, not forget like a erase in my mind...

       EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY Sebastian and Luciano, March 2017.   I'm going to write about a the story behind this picture. I like this picture because it was taken at the end of the summer of the 2017, I was visiting my friend  Sebastian,  we  meet in the  neighbourhood  years back and we are friends since we were 13 yearls old. He leaves Santiago  to study in Buenos Aires, and the summer of the 2017 we made a road trip making auto-stop  from Santiago to Buenos Aires. We stay one week the place he rents in Buenos Aires and then we continue traveling to Uruguay. We travel a lot,  we know a lot of places and people, it was great , always  making auto-stop and making  the money  last the most possible. We arrive to a carnival in Uruguay, those were very crazy days, drinking and smoking a lot, and visiting beautiful beaches. We have a lot of adventures, we make great friends ...
