I really enjoyed writing this blog on the semester, it was a fun way to keep practicing my english which i had been for over a year without any kind of practice. I liked it because i got to talk about things i liked and not being forced to write about some boring stuff, and mostly of all i could talk about music in almost every blog, which is a matter that entretains me very very much.

the blog i enjoyed writing the most was the blog about a walk i would like to do again becaus it made me evoke so many good memories, and it made me realize that i should start making up time more often so i can take those walks again, i have done it a couple of times since i wrote that blog, and it has been maravellous, i enjoyed them even more as i said, and now that i know more music than before, those walks have had new flavors with other kinds of music.

the post i didnt enjoy so much doing was the victory city one because i didnt have to write about my own experiences from which i already had knowledge, in this one i had to learn about a subject very fast so i could finish the blog in time so i ended up doing it too fast, but i think that if have had more time to study about what victory city is i would have enjoyed it far more.

Im not sure if my english improved but i certainly got the fluidness that i once had but i had also lost because of not practicing english for over a year, so it has been a very good exercise writing these blogs.

I really enjoyed reading Clementes posts, i think they are pretty interesting to read and stuff.

That was my experience with the blogs this semester :) i´ll just put the song i am listening right now haha

2016 was a really strange kind of year. I started studying in university and i had to adapt to this new order on how time is organized and new rythms fn doing things. The year started off really well, i went with a group of friends to Chiloe, i think it`s the prettiest place i have ever seen in my life. We stayed in a cabin in the woods and everything seemed as pure magic. Then when i came back I had to go to university. I met a lot of cool people as soon as i entered to university. but adapting to the ways of study has been kind of difficult for me because i`ve always had severe problems on organizing time, and now that it`s like when i have to be more organized, it`s been a really tough broplem for me. But i like it in here, i like the people, the ambient, but mostly the career. Architecture has been a very non-conventional type of career, even strangier than i thought, but that non convention is what i like of it. I also met my girlfriend here in university, so that has been really cool.

Musically this year has been very good, a lot of my favorite bandas have put out awesome records, like Katatonia, Opeth, Inter Arma, Alcest, just to name a few. I saw Katatonia live, which it was a concert i have been awiting for sooo long, and i catched Anders(the guitarrist) guitar pick, so it was very cool, the setlist was flawless. I also saw the godfathers of heavy metal, Black Sabbath, i arrived very early with some friends to Estadio Nacional and we got to be at the very front, they played a whole bunch of classics since it`s their farewell tour :c glad i got to se them before they disappear. But the concert i liked the best i think it was Steven Wilson, it was a 3 hour show playng his last record in full and another set where he played classics along with songs of his former band, Porcupine Tree. It was the most emotive concert i have ever been to, and when they played Lazarus(he dedicated this song to David Bowie) i couldn`t help it anymore and started crying like a little girl haha
And with my band, Amok Damnation, has been a really cool year too, I changed from just doing vocals to doing vocals and playing guitar at the same time, it was really challenging at first, i had to practice a lot to fully coordinate the guitar playing with my vocals, but i think its the best thing we ould have done for the band, aour live shows now are so much powerfull than before, we also got a new bass player who plays a fretless 6 string bass so that adds a whole new world of flavors to our music. Now we got invited to play in Chiloe metal fest for february 2017, so we are getting bigger nd bigger everytime.

All in all, it has been a toughyear, i never apreciated sleeping so much, since now i dont get to sleep very much, and sometimes university can get a bit frustrating, but i still like it very much and i will keep on persevering until i fully adapt to the rythm,That has been basically my 2016.

The person who I would like to have a one-on-one conversation is Mikael Akerfeldt. He is the lead singer and guitar player of my favorite band, Opeth. He is the only remaining founding member since the band was formed in the mid 90's. The first time I heard about this person was a long time ago when I was about 14 years old, when a friend of mine showed me the band, I didn´t really liked the band at first because I hated the growled type of vocals(although he also sings using his clean voice) but eventually with time i startid digging it more and more and eventually I started admiring this guy as a musician because his music is so innovating, because the style of Opeth is like a fusion between Death Metal and 70´s prog rock. I would love to have a beer and a conversation with this guy because he is a 70´s prog and psychedellic rock lover as I am too, and he is a vinyl collector, as i want to be one day. He has a huge collections of old and rare vinyls from the most unknown bands one could imagine. He is also a magnificent musician so i wold like to ask him like a billion tips on how to play some sort of things on guitar, or growling tips, or composing tips. I think we have a lot of things in common that we could talk about. He is by far my favorite musician in the world, it would be great if one day I get to meet him. Here I´ll leave a link to a live video of one of Opeth´s classic songs.
