An Expert in my Field

Hello there. I feel that you will go to disagree.

When I started studying journalism, I realize me that I left school without know write. The worse it is that I didn't realize until my first course of redaction in the career, with miss Carolina Muñoz. Althought it was very, very difficult in the start, and his method is very complicated for following, I identified my errors and I started to write relatively good.

In this ocassion, I will speak about Carolina Muñoz, who is a redaction teacher at the Institute currently. The few that, in fact, I know is:

She was married and separated. In her marriage she had a daughter, currently an adolescent. Also she lived in France and knowed people that died in the attack to Bataclan Theatre in Paris. Currently she live in Santiago Centro, close to Plaza Yungay. And before to be a redaction teacher, she was the journalism career director at Universidad de Santiago. In effect, she get her journalism degree in the same university. She declarate her publicly a feminist.

My liking to her is because she learned to me too much, the most important in this profession is the writing, and also who accept without problems to be my assistant in the monograph essay for get the Bachiller degree. According to some of my partners, she is too complicated, she have a method very hateful, she is too specific. So how I learned to write, also I could respect her. In the end, I believe that she is a very good teacher.









 

My Favourite Musical Artist or Band or Whatever

Hello again

Kurt Cobain or Eddie Vedder? Damon Albarn or Rivers Cuomo? It is complicated for me. I loved various artists and various bands, how Stone Roses, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Weezer, Stone Temple Pilots, My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, etc. Also Lucybell and Los Tres in the chilean spectre.

But in this occasion, I will speak about Scott Weiland and Stone Temple Pilots. Weiland died the last year, in 3rd December 2015, under an overdose, after a drug adiction that he never could leave.

He was the singer of Stone Temple Pilots. This group was founded in 1989 in San Diego, California, United States, with Robert DeLeo in the bass, Dean DeLeo in the guitar, and Eric Kretz in the drums.

Actually, his vocalist is Chester Bennington.

This group follow the sound of the ninetees, at the same time that the Grunge (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains etc.), sometimes been considered inside the Seattle Sound.

Stone Temple Pilots released six discs under the leadership of Weiland: Core (1992), Purple (1994), Tiny Music and Song From the Vatican Gift Shop (1996), N°4 (1999), Shangri - La Dee Da (2001), and after a brief separation between 2003 and 2010, Stone Temple Pilots (2010).

My favorite song is, absolutely, Plush, from the first disc. This song is the first that I learned to play in my guitar. I have its a special affection.

Here is the Unplugged Show for MTV Studios, played in 1993
They played Crackerman, Creep, Wicked Garden, Plush, Big Empty and Sex Type Thing.

My Favorite Photograph

I don't know who took this photograph. Surely it was took for a press photographer.
They are Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth's bassist), Beck Hansen, Dave Grohl (from Foo Fighters), Mike D (from Beastie Boys) and Zach de la Rocha (Rage Against The Machine's vocalist) and they are gathered in the context of "Freedom Tibetan Concert". They belong to select group of the most important musicians during the '90s. Under this premise, they (with his bands) was invited to participate in this music benefit festival that was "Freedom Tibetan Concert" in june 1996, year in that the protograph was took.

Tibet is a region situated in NE of Himalaya and it belong to Popular Republic of China, Asia. In the '50s, the tibetans require break free, for the genocide comitted by Popular Liberator Army these years. It's a constant struggle, that every years had added more victims by the government repression.

I love this photograph, because various rock styles converge, and for a good cause. The captured moment is priceless for me. They are an important part in the construction of my ideology and my identity and for any reason or circunstance is very defficult see them togheter in the real life.

My Favorite Festivity

Hello. One more time I share to you a related theme about me.

My favorite festivity is 'Oktoberfest'. It's simply awesome that exist a party for "beerlovers". 'Oktoberfest' itself is celebrated every year since 1810, between september and october, in the bavarian city of München, Germany. It's the greatest and most popular festivity in Germany, and the greatest beer festivity in the world. The visitors are about six to seven millions, and they come from other cities and countries, and all over the world.

The festivity beginning when prince Luis I from Bavaria was married Theresa from Saxony in 1810. They wanted to celebrate; they organized a horse racing and they invited all the citizens from München.
This was repeated every year, starting a tradition that it has been for more of two hundred years.

Currently, at twelve o'clock, in the midday, the mayor of München starts the festival, opening the first beer barrel. When he does, and after he exclaims "O zapftis ist" (It's open), he drinks the first beer pitcher. During these days, besides drinking and drinking local beer, there are typical costume parade and special activies as the Krinoline, a old carousel, the Schichtl theatre, place where present itself aproximately thirty performances, the Power Tower, a tower 66 metres in height, for enjoying a free fall experience (like the games in Fantasilandia) and the Olympia Looping, a roller-coaster.

I like it because I love the beer, specially the homemade beer, like Kunstmann, a Chilean brand, but a German recipe. If I have the oportunity to go to München, specifically to Oktoberfest, it would be a dream come true. I would feel in the paradise. 

  If you go, enjoy it, just enjoy it. 

Kurt Cobain

A young man, a bipolar guy, with many physical and mental problems. The voice of the Generation X. Father, husband, nephew, son, friend, a musician, a song writer, a charismatic frontman, the founder of Fecal Matter and Nirvana, the last classic band of the Rock N' Roll History.

Curtis Donald Cobain was born in February 20th of 1967 in Aberdeen, Washington, United States, town where he grew up and studied.

His parents divorced when he was 8 years old. The world was fell apart for him. It was just a nightmare for him. He began his erratic and rebel behavior in the school.

In his 14th birthday, his aunt offered the oportunity to choose his own present either have a bicycle or a guitar. He checked the guitar inmediately.

Between 1985 and 1986 he found with Dale Crover a brief musical project named Fecal Matter.

In 1987, he knew Krist Novoselic and togheter they founded Nirvana. Nirvana released four discs while he was alive: Bleach (1989), Nevermind (1991), Incesticide (1992) and In Utero (1993).

In 1992 he married Courtney Love in Hawaii. After some time she gave birth to their only daughter, Frances Bean. Before Courtney, Kurt had two girlfriend: Tracy Miranda, for about three years, and Tobi Vail, for a pair of months

He always had a stomach problems and a congenital depression. The fame exceed him and with his constant health problems, he resorted to hard drugs to cope with his life, specifically in heroin. He always was in a constant downward spiral.

In fact, in April 5th of 1994, after he came back from a tour in Europe, to his home (in Seattle, Washington) and according to expert's report, he committed suicide with a shotgun, under heroin effects. Toxicology report said that he was injected a lethal dose of heroin before pulling the trigger. However, the dissenting opinion believe that he was killed.

In Aberdeen, his hometown, there is a memorial in his honour. It was created in 2011, at 20 years of the release of Nevermind, the most popular disc of Nirvana, and their forward leap to fame, to Rock N' Roll History.

More than two decades has passed since Kurt Cobain's suicide, but the Reluctant Icon of the Generation X and the troubled voice of the nineteen nineties stood the test of time.

My Favorite Piece of Technology

I stayed in the past. Specifically, the '90. I hate the dependence of the human being for the new technologies and the social networks. In effect, I created a Facebook profile, but I closed it because I felt like mentally-ill person. In fact, inmediately I felt better with myself.

My favorite piece of technology is the Nintendo 64, a videogame console, with four entrances for the controls and instead a CD, cartridge reader.  When I was a kid, I waited for the weekend to play with it for many hours, between two to seven hours. Actually, I played for a little time, because it has a pair of damages in the electric circuit and the reader.

I got the Nintendo 64 in Christmas of the 2001. It was a present from my parents. I have four games: Super Mario 64 (I got it in Christmas 2006) , ISS '98, NASCAR 2000 and my favorite game, Yoshi's Story. The last game I bought in the last year.

I remember when in my 11th birthday, my friends and I were having a very good, playing with the Nintendo and laughing a lot.

I don't know why i love it, only I know that it makes me very happy, I enjoyed my childhood. Someday, I'll fix it and then go back to play with it for many hours. I feel proud for having it.

Why did I choose this career/study programme?

Hello there. Here is my second post.

I chose this career (journalism) because I like to tell stories about topics that I am interested in (football soccer and rock music).

When I was child I wanted to be a pediatrician. In effect, I decided for the scientific area in the secondary. After, in 2013 I responsed the PSU, but the results were not enough. Then I postulated to Bachillerato with natural sciences mention in Universidad de Chile.

During first semester, I was feeling unable for keep the rigourous study that the Bachillerato imposed to me. Then I thought that the medicine career that not mine. Fortunately, during the winter vacations I followed thinking and thinking what is my vocation. Finally, I chose journalism, decision that was accepted for my family. For these reasons, in second semester, I moved to social sciences mention, where I had better results. In the third and the fourth semester I had the possibility to assist to classes of the first year of journalism. To the end of the past year, I finished the Bachillerato and I was transfered successfully to Journalism career.

In other topic, I had had a lot of friends, in Bachillerato and journalism. We go to parties together, play "Futbolito", drink a pair of beer bottles, etc. They are very important to me.
