Don’t Worry…

As Bobby McFerrin said in his famous song: Don’t worry, be happy!

This is a must in our day to day lives. But, should we leave our problems or preoccupations aside and don’t pay attention to them? Well, what I usually do is to do everything as it is possible, give my best in what and be positive about things, after that I don’t worry anymore.

Well, worrying is just a waste of time. You spend hours and hours thinking in what you shouldn’t have done or why you did such a terrible thing or took such a dummy decision, but you are not actually doing anything valuable, you’re just getting older and stopping you from enjoying your life.

Keeping life simple

Nowadays, we can see all the people stressed, sick and tired; it doesn’t matter if they’re young, old, rich or poor, but it seems to be affecting us all.

Now, I would like to ask: is life long enough to be sad, stressed, sick and tired? is there anything that we can do in order to keep our lives simple?. My answer is YES!

There are some things that we know that are true, but they’re so simple (such as life is) that we just leave them aside or we just don’t pay attention to them. I was reading at midnight some web pages and I found something interesting: advices to keep your life simple, and I HAVE to share them with you:

Superman/Doomsday

Saludos a todos los que son fanáticos de superman, así como lo soy yo.

Hace unos días, viendo la serie de Smallville me di cuenta de que existía un tal Doomsday. Lo sé,  deben decir : “¿cómo se dice fanático de Superman y no conoce a Doomsday?”, pues ni siquiera yo lo sé!. Debe ser que me falta aplicarme un poco más.

En fin, el tal Doomsday me tuvo intrigado y necesitaba conseguir más información acerca de él y me encontré una película que trata de la muerte de Superman. !No lo podía creer!

Me gustó la película y se las traigo a ustedes para compartir.

Roberto Carlos

Recentlly I’ve been playing in the guitar a great song called “Detalhes” (Well, maybe Details in english, or Detalles in Spanish) from the great brazilian singer Roberto Carlos.

I’ve heard his music since I was a child due to my father. In fact, Roberto Carlos’ music is one of the few music that my father heard and I liked. I think that this is because not just Detalhes, but the most of his songs are fully interpreted with melancholy, romanticism and  a soft voice.

I read that he’s played his music all over the world, has won the Song Festival in San Remo Italy and has recorded an coustic MTV concert.

With more than 25 millon of discs sold in latin america is the sole artist that has sold more discs in this region than The Beatles.  In every disc produced there was at least one hit. It is difficult to try to select his most greatest songs but apart form my preferred (Detalhes), we could name: Amada amante, Jesucrito, Un millón de amigos, and Cacharrito.

Additionally, every time I talk about Roberto Carlos with my father, he keeps on remind me that Roberto Carlos is a legend and the only one allowed to consume marijuana legally in Brazil (amazing!… jaja). I don’t know if that’s true, but if it is, I think he deserves it.

His music will be with us forever.

I leave Detalhes here, so you can enjoy it.

I hate Facebook!

Just a few hours ago I was searching for the Courious Case Of Benjamin Button’s Soundtrack in one of my favourite pages (Taringa!), but after being disappointed  because of the non existing megaupload links (just rapidshare), I found a  link that caught my attention that said: I hate Facebook!

Of course,  it made me think about it. Some of the facts he exposed were valid: the lost of interest in being in contact with  people (in person) due to the each time bigger interest in being in contact with your virtual friends, the importance that  we give to abscentee presences, wall greetings or empty comunication.

But he was talking about the good things like: keep in touch with a friend who is living in china or the uncle that is traveling around the world, a way to show share a part of you to the world, or just simple fun. Additionally, he was talking about things that, at my point of view, shouldn’t be interesting him such as a theft accusation to the owner of the network.

I think that facebook has a lot of interesting things depending on the eyes that you see it with. For me, as a programmer,  it’s great the possibility of taking pictures with your webcam; as a foreigner student, it’s an exceptionally good way to know what’s happening with your family, good and non good friends.

All of us need our own space (such as this blog for me) but maybe it becomes unhealthy when you change all your in-person interactions for the electronic ones, and you start to live in a virtual world. Anyway, everybody has the right to think in a different way.

And after all of this, what about you? do you HATE FACEBOOK?

Hello world!

I can now really say HELLO WORLD!…

I have been interested in the creation of  a blog for some time and it seems that this when it all starts.

I received an invitation from a friend, and I invite you to visit his blog: carbroneando.wordpress.com

Good Luck
