Jag är en vampyr!

Haha... : D .... so that´s the song that´s been on my head most of the day. It´s from the swedish singer Markus Krunegård and the song it´s in swedish of course, dah!, but it also has a great beat!!

 ..."Jag är en vampyr. Jag suger och spyr. Låt mig komma in. Jag vill bli din"... and the best part is when he says this: "Hela världen är så underbar om man är korkad tom och glad" ... haha

The best part is that when I was watching I suddenly tought that I had seen the guy before and then it hit me, he is also part of Laakso!!! haha That was really unexpected... But after thinking about it after a while I realized that it kinda made sense, after all the videos are unusual and similar, if you watch the videos you realize that he always appear riding in a car, walking down the street, hanging out with his friends and gets way TOO close to the camera! haha

did you notice?? but who cares? his songs are great!

This was the first song I listened to a few years ago (btw, I had never watched the videos)

How many times can you say FUCK in a minute??

You know because I´m like super cool, I wanted to share with you stupid facts that you would never use on your life but that probably will be damn funny and that´s what counts in the end!! haha

Like.. have you ever seen the chapter of South Park where they spend all the time saying SHIT and then end up saying shit 162 times. haha... hilarious!! They should give them the record guiness!! And now Google has this new function to look for books using words, so you can type like "sex" and then get results for every book ever written in history where they use that word. Btw, the book the "Catcher in the Rye" was censored in a lot of schools of the US because it used to much words like FUCK and GODAMN. hahahahaha...........

Pendulum

It´s so nice when you discover that some artist that you really like has released a new album and that´s what just happened with Pedulum. I can still remember when I listened to their song "Tarantula" and since that moment I became interested in electronic music and yes I know that their genre is Drum&Bass! I just listened to their new songs: Witchcraft, The Fountain, The Island and Immunize.

The playlist I´m listening right now is THIS ONE!!! and here is a wadget of the playlist I made today. (As you can notice by the quantity of music I´m posting I´m super happy because now I can use a widget from my favorite music site Grooveshark of course...! to share with you guys my favorite songs!!)

I could personalize the widget but WTF!! I don´t feel like spending time choosing pinky colors that you probably won´t like! and of course black is always cool... : )                          

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - Robert Louis Stevenson

Review: The young Robert Louis Stevenson suffered from repeated nightmares of living a double life, in which by day he worked as a respectable doctor and by night he roamed the back alleys of old-town Edinburgh. In three days of furious writing, he produced a story about his dream existence. His wife found it too gruesome, so he promptly burned the manuscript. In another three days, he wrote it again. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was published as a "shilling shocker" in 1886, and became an instant classic. In the first six months, 40,000 copies were sold. Queen Victoria read it. Sermons and editorials were written about it. When Stevenson and his family visited America a year later, they were mobbed by reporters at the dock in New York City. Compulsively readable from its opening pages, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is still one of the best tales ever written about the divided self.---from amazon.

Opinion: I´m kind of dissapointed because after reading such a review I expected it to be a really dark story and it wasn´t as much as I expected. I find it a little "It will leave a moral in the end" but I must consider that this is a classic and it was shocking in it´s time. So I must say it´s Stevenson´s best book and a very good classic. 

Rating: 7/10

If you were wondering what the hell I´m doing right now

So I´ve been watching movies all day, later I´ll watch Kick Ass and in sunday I watched the extended version of Avatar. Also, I just finished reading two mangas that I really like "Alive, the final evolution" and "Mirai Nikki". I´m happy because mangas usually have bad endings but that was not the case with them, so that´s good! I was also shocked because I found out that the author of "Alive" was in his deathbed when he ended writing the story *shoking*

This song of rammstein it´s so beautiful and I recommend that you watch the version of Mina Harker!

This is a great band discovery that I made a few days ago "Hadouken!". Listen to the lyrics closely, so funny!!...

You can hear all this songs and many other great songs in a playlist I made recently here:
                          

Merry Christmass!!!

I know it´s a bit late but... oh whatever! I haven´t been posting this days because I´ve been to busy cooking cookies, going shoping, eating a lot and meeting a lot of people. (some of them I didn´t want to see but it´s christmass and it turns out everyone came here for the holidays...) Apart from that I think that the only good thing about this season it´s the FOOD! haha And then the rest of the days I spend my time in consumist activities and stupid traditions.

That´s all she wrote by T.I. ft. Eminem

THE BEST RELEASE OF DECEMBER!!! I can´t tell you how great this song is! At first I was a bit confused because there are different versions but I like the album version better : D

...I bet they knew as soon as the saw me, Goodnight it´s over with, that´s all that she wrote....

You know... the best thing is that the song it´s like 5 minutes long! So lucky!!!

I Should be Sleeping...

It´s so late and I feel really lame because I´m staying up for the sake of watching a lunar eclipse. haha I hope it´s worth it... But it probably won´t afect me because lately I´ve been turning into a nocturnal person, I sleep trough the day and stay up most of the night.

 Btw, this is what my screen looks like right now, if you remember I wrote a while ago that I read the korean webtoon "Pink Lady" so I alredy found the translated chapters in a cafe in Naver. I´m so happy because I found it. And you can see the christmass theme that I have on my firefox, it´s animated : D.

P.S: The lunar eclipse alredy started but it´s kind of boring after a while because the take so long... The good thing is that I was able to watch a clear sky with no smoke or clouds so I was able to find a few constelations and stars, so exciting! It means that the winter solstice it´s alredy here!! haha

Whatever - Michael Houelllebecq

Review: The unnamed narrator of Houellebecq's novel is Marcuse's one-dimensional man. A single, 30-year-old computer engineer in Paris with no sex life, he suffers from a chronic passivity that, in Houellebecq's view, is characteristic of Generation X. He buys, but doesn't take joy in any of the things he possesses. He has acquaintances, but no friends. In his off hours he writes dialogues featuring an assortment of barnyard animals. When his company sends him and a colleague, Bernard, out to Rouen and La Roche-sur-Yon to consult on software, nothing much gets done. In Rouen he suffers from heart problems. Since Bernard visits him in the hospital, a bond develops between them. Bernard, cursed with a repulsive appearance and a horny disposition, makes obnoxious advances to every woman he sees and is predictably rejected. Sexual deprivation is the atmosphere in which these men exist. That both men see women only in terms of their sexual features makes their impotence even more pathetic. After breaking up with his last girlfriend two years ago, the narrator has withdrawn from the romantic arena. And yet he has developed an intricate and mean-spirited, if ill-defined, theory of sexual hierarchy. The loose narrative condenses to an action sequence when the narrator tries to get Bernard to murder a woman with a steak knife, but the incident is gratuitous. In the end, Houellebecq displays none of the novelist's eye for detail and, further, defaults on the development of a vital main character, who might have connected this series of threadbare incidents into an interesting social comment.

Opinion: It´s kind of hard to find a way to start describing this book because many people think the book is very controversial and I must admit that it is in some aspects. But if you look at it from a diferent point of view this book only talks about this man that has serious problems like... with his ex-girlfriend and middle age problems, but most importantly it seems to me that he doesn´t find any sense to his life anymore. It´s an interesting read because of his political views and human struggles presented in this age that he kinds... of makes fun of. haha Because this is his first novel I can´t help to find some autobiographical events of the author of this book. He probably wrote this stuff when he was depressed after breaking up with a woman. For the sake of readers that might find it depressing I´ll lower the rating a bit...

Personal Rating: 6/10

Fortfarande larä...

So if you take the time to read this blog you should´ve alredy noticed that I´m DEEPLY influenced by swedish culture and specially it´s language. Most people probably think it´s stupid to learn such a language but I didn´t start to learn it like something important, it was just a way to have fun and I loved how it looks when it´s written and spoken. So I guess that after a year of reading blogs mostly in swedish (that I really love and of course want to know what they´re speaking about) so eventually I started learning a lot of words in swedish by reading blogs in swedish that included a translation.

At first, I was surprised that I could understand it so easily like if I was reading portugese or french (that btw I can understand most of what it´s written down and can understand parts of spoken portugese probably because my native language is spanish but that sadly is not the case with spoken french). After a time I had an idea of what was written down and then I started listening to swedish band Kent a LOT!!! so when I listened to the songs I printed the song´s lyrics and their translations provided by Google´s translate (that btw is one of the best tools you can find in the internet but many people don´t understand any of it´s life changing potential and end up don´t understanding a lot of webpages... baka!). Right now I´m able to understand most part of written swedish even before I´m able to learn german that I started learning since I was four years old but stalled at different phases of my life... The thing is that my understanding of english and basic german was the decisive factor that made it easy for me to learn swedish because it turns out that swedish is most similar to... surprise!.. english and german!!!!!!!!!!!! haha... : D hilarious, isn´t it?

So the thing I decided to write this post but kind of lost the point there by a while, it´s that I was learning the swedish language history when I stumbled in this old norse alpabets:

So I learned how old norse was divided between west and east and then I discored this old runes alphabets like the Elder Futhark and Younger Futhark. The good thing is that danish is very similar so I if learn the little diferences I will able to speak two languages and even be able to slightly understand norwegian. Of course finnish and russian are out of the question... too difficult... First, I´ll finish learning german and then learn french, portugese and italian. haha XD
