First at all, music is the most important thing to me in my life. What I mean is not just for fun, through music you can express a lot of things, things you maybe didn’t think you had or feel. Music is with me as a soundtrack in a film, is with me all the time, giving to my life other views and joy.   

Actually, I like almost all kinds of music, is not like something definitive, I just hear something and I said if I like or not, obviously you have some musical inclinations about some genres. I think the sort of music I like the most have relationships with the blues, as rock, jazz, and sub product of these, as grunge, progressive rock. I like too some classical compositor as Beethoven and Chopin. I don’t really have a kind of music I dislike, but I’ve never hear folk music.

My favorite group is “The Beatles.” I know them since I was a child. My dad and godfather are fanatics and they pass me their likes. I like them because they changed everything. It wasn’t just music, they were a culture phenomenon. They improved their music in each new record, and they did all we know of them in just 9 years. Nobody else I think could have done that and I doubt somebody ever will. The last year I went to Bs.As.  to see Paul McCartney. I was afraid I would not see him but thank "John"; I’ll see him again in May. 

I have other favorites like Elvis, Muddy Waters, Coltrane, Jimmy Hendrix, Etta James, Pink Floyd, Dave Brubeck, and a lot more like the Tango. Thank god, the list is huge and I hope to keep adding to it, although you never have enough time to hear all you’d wish.

Music is a natural fact, is recognized in each culture, without music life wouldn’t be the same. Its because is a media of expression, and we need express our self. It doesn’t matter if is music, art, writing, or whatever. The important thing is that is an expression, and music exists and I’m sure always will be.


Welcome


Welcome to my unreal life of internet.    

¡Hello everyone! 

My name is Ricardo González.  Welcome to my blog.

I’m studying psychology and this is my first year, but not at the university. I’ve have already study philosophy for five years. So university life is not so new to me.

By creating this blog I hope improve my English, to get to know new people, and to discover a world brand new to me, as blog’s world is.

Therefore, I just going to do my best to achieve all the goals the course require.

Best regards.

Do we have enough free time? Mostly of us say no. Because we have to work, do our bedroom, clean, study, in general do things we don’t like, and that is reason because we say that. But, like one Greek philosopher said: “we don’t have a short life, what happened is we wasted doing things we don’ want. So, our free time must to be the most worth thing. In my case, I try to spend each free time I have doing the things more I like with the people I love, as my family and friends. I like to play guitar with my friends and listen to loud music in our new sound system; we share our new vinyl and comments about them. As a hobby and as fanatics too, we collect to rare The Beatles’ vinyl.
Outside, Mostly of the time, I play soccer and used to go to drink some beers with my friends, and If have some extra money I go to the cinema.
When I was a child, I liked soccer, which was the most important thing, in that time I used collect everything about it: magazines, albums, posters, anything. Now, I meet someone who does Yoga, and she told me about how good is, I think I would like to try it someday, to see if helps to my insomnia. This weekend, I believe, just I’ll go around with my friends, drink something and study.
Now, writing this, I came to the conclusion I spend my free time very well, because I do the things I really want to do.
