Block method: Books VS eBooks.

On Christmas, my mother suggested me to buy one of those devices with which you can read without having a book. You just get into Google, you download a book, then you put it in the eBook and you can start reading, but I said no. Although the eBook has a lot of advantages such as being weightless, more comfortable to read than a book and, eventually, it is cheaper, the eBook will never be the same as a book even if this is more expensive.

eBooks may be cheaper than books, as I said before, but they will never make you feel as a book can. For example, I love getting into my room and seeing all my shelves full of books that someone gave to me or I chose from a second-hand shop. The smell, the touch and the cover are things that an eBook will never reach because it is just a simple device that comes from an assembly line produccion.

Even though, having an eBook is not bad because it has a lot of benefits tha books haven't, but buying books must not get lost because, come on, who doesn't like smelling the pages of a book? 

I don't like partying, so what?

Some people call me weird because I don't like partying. My friends are always saying that I am a boring person since I stay at home every Saturday night while they are all in a pub, drinking and dancing. Most people think that, as a university student, I have to go to pubs or discos to have fun, but they aren't right. If I stay at home is not because I'm boring but because I do have more fun watching a film with some friends, playing tablegames or reading than going to a disco. Buying clothes, wearing higheels and doing the same thing that you've been doing every weekend do not make sense to me if I have a big variety of things to do staying at home. 

"Vincent" by Tim Burton.

This could be my favourite Tim Burton's animation. It's been written, designed, directed and produced by Tim Burton and narrated by Vincent Price. It's amazing because this short film has to do with the director's likes such as his favourite writer, Edgar Allan Poe, and his idol, Vincent Price. In this video we can see a black cat, skelletons going out from the walls and several things that remind us to Poe's tales, and the ending of it is Vincent, the main chracter, saying the final lines from "The Raven", the most famous Poe's poem. This film is a little and gorgeous biography of Tim Burton and the way he expresses himself in this poem is just incredible. I hope you like it. ♥

Describing Sweeney Todd.

There is a man that has the leading role in Tim Burton's movie Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street that is also one of the most gloomy and fascinating people I've ever seen. At first sight you could see he's a normal person, but little details of his appearance are what make you see he's everything but ordinary. His dark clothes, his serious face and the way he looks are terrifying and atractive at the same time. His hair is black with a white streak, which makes him look myseterious. I've never seen a person who can make you feel attracted and horrofied at the same time but him.

Under the banner of heaven we dream out loud.

It's amazing how time runs, but sometimes we wish it didn't run so faster, don't we? One year ago I had the chance to live which was the best day of my life when, after years and years of waiting, I finally could go to a concert of one of my favourite bands: THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS. It was very special because it was my first concert ever, it was my first time in Madrid and I met friends that I'd met before by internet but I hadn't seen them face to face and I could hug them. But the most special thing about this is that I saw my favourite band live. 

The night before leaving Murcia I was very nervous and all I had in my mind was the idea of leaving the tickets at home so I couldn't get into the concert. I think I cheked the list of things to bring to Madrid every five minutes that night (my mum almost killed me because I was very nervous and I made my mum nervous too). On Tuesday 2nd, at 7:30pm, My friends and I cought the train, and four hours later we were in the Capital. We arrived at 11:30pm and all we did was having dinner and going to the hotel to sleep a bit. (They slept, I didn't). We woke up at 6:00am and by 7:00am we were in the subway on our way to the stadium where the concert was going to take place. And when we arrived, the first thing I did was hugging every human being of my group of friends that was queueing for the concert. I never cry but that day I think I produced a flood. I remember that it was very cold. My friends had spent the night there and the floor was all full of blankets and sleeping bags. We brought them the breakfast to thank them for keeping a place for us. The rest of the day was really amazing. I don't have words to describe it. We even met the supporting band that was one of my favourite bands too: YOU ME AT SIX. 

At 8:00pm the doors were opened and we got into the stadium. I couldn't believe that I was in the second line. I could almost touch the stage. I was very excited, nervous and hot because inside the place it was too hot in contrast to the outside where it was really cold. I remember to be talking with my friend about how amazing it was going to be when, suddenly, the lights went off and the concert started. And there were them, You Me at Six, giving their souls on the stage and making us feel as we could fly. Their concert was forty five minutes long and I left my voice with them. They were simply amazing and I will never forget the fact that I met them after the concert. They were kind, funny and very, very, very amazing people. And, of course, very talented artists. 

After their concert it was the turn of Thirty Seconds to Mars. If I say they were incredibly amazing I would be lying. They were beyond that. With every song, with every note, with every single word they said, they made me feel I was at home. That were the place I belonged. The sense of my mind exploding, the heart beating faster and faster, the feel of the crowd screaming the songs... It felt like we were one. All the songs they played were spectacular but that ones which were more important because of their meanings such as closer to the edge, this is war, attack, do or die, or up in the air were absolutely unbelievable. They don't know but they gave me the best experience of my life and I will always be thankful for that. Actually, I could say their songs have an influence very powerfull on me and I still can't believe that I could leave my heart, soul and voice with them on the stage. 

And one year later, here I am, writing about how amazing the concert was and almost crying because I miss the people I met there. Music put people together.

I'm sure many people won't understand what I feel for bands like these and also the fact that, one year later I'm still thinking about one single night, but as Jared Leto (lead singer of 30STM) says:

"It's not only music. It's not only art. It's a

community. It's a sense of having a place to

belong. Not everybody will understand it.

And that's OK. Some people ask us if This

Is A Cult. I say this: It's something special.

It's not for everyone. It's only for those who

understand." ♥

Allons-y!

Is not necessary to introduce myself because, as long as I post things here, you will get to know me. But here's a picture of my dog taken the day I met him. Say hi to Nemo! *3*
