Sports!!

There are three things that I need in my life pretty often: music, friends and sports.

Sports are great! Well, more than sports, physical activity.

I’ve practiced a lot of different sports. Such as athletism, volleyball, taekwondo, parkour, skate. Obviously I’ve done others, but never trained them.

The one in that I lasted the most was taekwondo. I trained like for years. Now I’m a little bored with it. But maybe I’ll start training again in march, when we’re back from our (short) vacations.

Right know I’m thinking about start training wall climbing, trekking and parkour. Or, I could try with MMA (mixed martial arts). It’s a really tough sport. As in training as in competitions. You need to have a really trained and hard body, speed, tons of techniques, mental and emotional control. Though the first choice is amazingly fun and helpful, it takes a lot of your free time. Which I don’t think I’ll have next semester. But, you can practice them where ever you want!! (except for wall climbing, but there are a lot of places where you can do it, even for free!). that’s a great advantage.

Any way, it doesn’t matters what I choose, the thing is to finally know what I wont to practice for life. I’ve through so many sports that I’m already getting sick of it. And I would like to practice them with a partner. Oh, wait…crap. Not again. I have to choose between the band and sports. ‘Couse I can’t give away university. Well, I still have some time to choose.

My music preferences

Ok!. Here we go again. My music preferences. Actually, I’ve gone through a lot of different types of music: first, before I turned 16 or 15 I did listened much music. Oanly what my family played for them selves. After that I started listening to Heavy Metal music, like “Iron Maiden” and stuff. Then I liked Jack Johnson, Sublime, and music like that: Really chill and beachy. Then I went back to the heavy music listening NOFX, and other bands alike. NOFX is pure Punk rock. They’re awesome!! I still play ‘em from every once in a while. But now, now I am really into Cumbia, Pachanga and Chilean music. I’m only listening to national composers. That’s what your friends influence can do. And if  I listen to non Chilean bands, are mostly reggeae bands.

Truth is, I don’t know the origins of reggae, but I reaaaaaaaally like it. It makes me fell amazing just by hearing it. But, what do I know about cumbia? Well, not much ider. All I know is that it comes from Colombia, and it obviously has African influences. Originally its danced in carnivals and stuff, but clearly you can dance it anywhere, anytime. Specially the Chilean versions. There are amazing Chilean bands playing cumbia and pachanga (a variety of cumbia). It’s the best choise if you want to have a LOT of fun partying.

Actually, I like it so bad, that we’re thinking about making a cumbia band.
