Ok, second post To all those who have wondered what the hell have I've been doing (probably just one), it really doesn't matter. Now before I go on and do what I'm supposed to do, maybe an explanation is at hand. So last post I went a little off board with my comments and such, it was due to my at-the-moment lack of inspiration.

You can even tell by my title that things were not really well planed...which may be a good thing considering that I don't own anything to anyone out there, which doesn't mean I can't change my title and a few things here and there to make this a more openly and enjoyable blog. Now, what Im supposed to do, belieave it or not one of my teachers has and will set homeworks to work in the blogs of the students, primaraly to work our language since we're in Mexico, this week's task (if I may call it that) is to talk about the song or music I first heard in my life.

Here's a fun fact, both my parents pursued their carreres in art, so to speak, being that my father is to the day a radio personality of the public radio (he plays music called "Canto Nuevo" that means New Music, which is kind of like your Bob Dyllan or Cat Stevens) , a retired musician, and a former hippie.

My mother likes all sort of music she consideres "good", so the first song I ever heard was a poem made a song (most of "Canto Nuevo" are poems made songs) named "Alfonsina del Mar" (Alfonsina of the sea) dedicated to an argentinian writer called Alfonsina Stronti who took her own life, surpisingly enpugh the song is rather sweet and calm to a point that my mother usedit as a lulaby for both me and my sister.

That was the first song I ever heard, later on in my life, my dad introduce me to such rock groups as The Doors, The Beetles, Grand Funk Railroad, Deep Purple and other 60's and 70's bands (they say I made funny impressions of Jim Morrison, not because they were really good but because there was a three year-old in his pijamas pretending to be drunk and high).

Then my cousins and my brothers, huge fans of hip hop, introduce me to the music (old school...bitch).

The rest...Highschool. You tend to pick up stuff as you go. Example. HATED punk rock music before I got to highschool. Hated it. Pretty weird if you ask me, specially since I really hadn't heard any real punk rock.

I was so used to the skater punk and happy punk (which I now know it's more of an evolution, kinda like new-wave gangzta rap; it sucks!). So naturally, being that I'm not a close minded prick or an idiot, I do have a wide variety of friends of which all like different styles in music and we all share our likes and tend to compare and adjust or however you wanna call it.

I first got into so-called screamo, emo and hardcore punk. It wasn't until way later that I heard my very first real punk song. The Misfit's Astro Zombies.

So that about does it, those were the first songs I heard in my life. Write to you later.

Popping the cherry

Maybe, you want me to introduce myself. Well screw that, I don't trust the internet that much, so for the moment let's just keep our identitys for ourselves, what I could do is give you a description of me (you know just in case the profile thingy is not enough for you), Im 18, male, mexican, fat (though not huge), geek, and depending on what you say to me I can be nice or a dirty motherfucker, but not always. So have fun, and tell me things that you would like to talk about.
