Everywhere At the End Of Time

Imagen
Hi everyone! In this new blog, I'm going to talk about a series of album which, in my perspective, are one of the most interesting and depressive at the same time. I'm referring to "Everywhere At The End Of Time" by The Caretaker. The project, created by musician James Leyland Kirby, is a conceptual exploration of dementia  and memory loss. Probably you heard about this project, because it had a lot of diffusion on the internet, due to this emotional impact that had in many people, especially on those who had a familiar with this horrible disease. "Everywhere At The End of Time" has a duration of six hours long (yeah, so freaking long), and is divided in six different stages, which are:  Stage 1. " Here we experience the first signs of memory loss. This stage is most like a beautiful daydream. The glory of old age and recollection. The last of the great days." Stage 2. " The second stage is the self-realization and awareness that something is ...

Time travel: A journey to the future

 Good afternoon! In this new blog, I'm going to teleport to the future, specifically, to 60 years ahead, because I'm interested to see what's going to happen on that period, and also to know the cultural changes of the society, specially from our country, Chile. Although, the principal reason that I want to travel to the future is to see how much our world changes, if it turns into a dystopic one or evolves into a utopic one, Personally, I think that our world will become into a dystopia, for the reason that our world is controlled by egoism, corruption and violence, and because, due to the climatic change, our lives would change a lot. As you can see, my perspective about the future is not really positive. Due to the above, I don't really want to stay in the future, because I don't have much faith on that time, I prefer to return to our present. And also, I don't want to lose my family and friends. But I'm not going to lie, it would be an interesting trip. ...

 Hello everyone! In this blog, I'm going to talk about my dream job. As a Social Worker student, in the future I really want to work not only for help the most disadvantages, but to get involved in social intervention politics, especially in the SENAME, because, as you know, is a place where children suffer a lot of abuse and violations of his rights and my objective is to contribute in the transformation of this organism, in order that the rights of the child be respected and the Chilean State take charge of all the atrocities occurred inside of SENAME facilities. According to a report from Observatorio para la Confianza (2021), in the last 15 years have passed away approximately 1.188 children and 648 adults who were in protection programs and juvenile justice area.  for all of the above, is important that we need an urgent transformation of this system, we have to put aside the passivity, and take actions. That's my one of the reasons of why I choose to study Social Work, b...

Hello everyone! Today, in this blog I´ll talk about the best concert I've been to.  The last year, on July 22nd, I had the opportunity to go with a friend to a concert of a Chilean Post Hardcore band called Tenemos Explosivos, one of my favorite's national bands. This concert was located at the 'Sala Metrónomo ', ubicated in Barrio Bellavista. A I said earlier, Tenemos Explosivos is a post-Hardcore band from our country, Chile, formed in Santiago in 2009, whose music talk about social and political themes, such as the dictatorship, the inequality, the injustice, and others. They launch 4 albums, called: ' Derrrumbe y Celebración' ( 2012 ), 'La Virgen de los Mataderos' ( 2014 ), 'Victoria' ( 2017 ),  and the last one is ' Cortacalles'  (2022), which is, in my opinion, the best of the band, because of his innovative sound and also his poetical and beautiful lyrics. My favorites songs of this album are: ' El Barco de Teseo' , 'El...

In this blog, I going to talk about a country I would like to visit, in this case, I'm referring to Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland). This country, in my opinion, has some of the most beautiful places that I really want to meet, such as the classical Big Ben in London, England, the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland and my favorite place, Snowdonia National Park in Wales.  The famous Big Ben, well... I don't think that I need to introduce him, because is a very popular place. Nonetheless, the only thing I would say is that I really, really want to visit, because his architecture is so fascinating. One of the most magnificent places in England in my opinion. .  The Royal Mile is one of the most important streets of Edinburgh, Scotland, because is located at the heart of Edinburgh's historic capital, that is, in the oldest sector of Edinburgh. Its name, according to E...
