Music

In this post I want to talk about the importance that music has in our lifes.

 Music is, first of all, an expression of everyone's character and personality, it's a way to understanding our feelings and made it become something we can listen to. Music plays with emotions, with happy or melanconic feelings, music can make you feel exited or serene, among another moods. Music is usefull also to connect a group of persons between them, or make us forget temporally our problems. Sometimes it also helps us to affront this problems and not only to avoid them. Sometime a nice song is the only thing able to make a bad day become bearable.

Well, I think it is a very important part of our lifes, also if we don't realize that and instead of that we consider music a common thing, when in fact is one of the greatest things we have, because it will walk with us all along our lifes.

New ways of leisure time

Nowadays, with the progress of technology, our ways of living have been affected and had suffered a lot of changees. One of them is that now, a lot of people has the  chance to say something and be listened by lots of persons.

The first thinck that appeared was the TV. Now the people, specially the youth and the children dedicate most of their spare time to YouTube or Internet in general isted of TV. This is an important change, because, also if it can same similar, YouTube has only a few things in common with TV. The main difference is that on the Internet people can say what they want, or almost that, because you are the only responsable of yor acts and in the TV programs there is a very strict way of acting and the shows they offer have not the freedom that Internet offers. So that's a positive thing because the persons who offer entretaining and humoristic content will follow their own rules and in consequence their creations will be better and more original. This new kind of entretainment estimulates more the creativity and above everything the factor that makes it an attractive point is that there is a huge diversity of content.

In conclusion, I thinck that the classical ways of entretaining are changing and evolving and everytime there are new possibilities.

Strange sports

In the world there are a lot of sports. Many of them had becomed famous, such as football, swimming, baseball, volleybal, etc. But there are also a lot of unknown and are minority, but between them there are ones that are really originals or weird. Those are sports that don't seem nothing serious, but most of them even have a World Championship, and they also are older than what one imagines.

Those are my top three strange and unknown sports:

In third place there is the sport called "Wife carrying", originated in Finland. This sport needs the participation of a lot of teams of two persons. Those teams are couples and the man has to carry his woman (or girlfriend, because is not required to be legally married) on his back and run through obstacles along the way. The rules are that the team who finishes faster the course wins, but if the man drops his partner, five seconds will be added to their time.

I thinck this sport can seem a bit chauvinist, but it's also is true that the couples have to cooperate and understand each other if they want to win, so it can be interesting and funny.

In second place I put the sport called Cycleball. This sport is a competition between teams of two, played on bicycles with no breaks. The goal of the players is to get the ball into the goal using only their wheels and their heads, they cannot use the hands, exept when they are deffending. 

I's similar to football, and it has to be impractical to have a bike disturbing you, because is difficult to score a goal inly using the wheels instead of your own foots. I tried something similar to that with some friends when I was little and it was so fun, but I thinck that is better have balls and bicycles separated, because they don't combine especially well.

Finnally, the first one is Underwather Hockey, a sport in which two teams compete to manoeuvre a puck across the bottom of a swimming pool into the opposing team's goal moving it with a kind of pusher. Is so similar to hockey, but in this case in very important the apnea, that alouds you to be underwather more time and that gives you an important advantage. I've seen people playing this sport a lot of time in the swimming pool and maybe one day I'll try it, bot only for have fun, bacause I thing that swimming is a better way to use a swimming pool.
