Book review: "Muerte por funky"

Well, "Muerte por Funky" is a spanish book that explains the story of Joaquín Balboa AKA Eutanasio, who is a sicary that kills suicide victims who have not enough courage to kill themselves. He is also a fan of funky music and directs a group named Funktastic Four. This is his main motivation, doing a very big thing with his group.

This book explains as well the life's of the suicide victims. Maybe this book has risk factor for the author, because it tries to be funny and if you don't like it the first moment you will hate it and maybe stop reading it. My problem was this one when I read it, that I didn't like the humor so it went extremely long for me.I didn't like the arguments because for me was a "whole no-sense" compressed in 200 pages. But uh, what more could I say from a no-sense...

I haven't liked it at all cause I didn't like the humor basically. But I either liked the p`lot because I think that simplicity is very important in the books and you can just explain 2 lifes at the same time. If you explayn 5 different stories in every cahpter people gets lost and tired.

Albert Einstein and the relativity, a valuable theory.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/sci/albert-einstein/search=o?

SUMMARY:

Albert Einstein was a very important physicist of the last century. He wasn't really considered such as that smart man that we use to know. Einstein was a teacher in a university. All his studies went around time, its measure, its constancy even its reality. Although no one wanted to finnance Einstein's project he began trying new mathematical concepts, new ways of using our own theories. Perseverance paid off, and Einstein got to discover a relationship between energy, mass and light's velocity The famous "E=mc<exp>2". This theory says that bodies, at velocities close to the light's one begin to desintegrate, reduce its density, but even though they increase their mass. This can't be prooved with exactitude of course, so we can't get close to light's velocity but some resent experiments with hadrons sghow how this particles acquire mass while they get closer to light's velocity. But this is not the relativity theory, that is what everybody knows the name of. This last theory explains that time is not absolute. Time is not the same for everyone, that is a personal perception. It purposes that each of us sees different things and has different concepts. How could I explain it for you to understand it easily... Well, let's see: You see the coulours as you think they are right? Okay then, imagine another people who sees the coulours completely different than you do. Now imagine that this person recieves the same education than you. So he will think that the colours you see will be the same than he does because red (for him blue) will be red because he learned it like this, and you too. He doesn't know it because it's his reality, as you have yours or another person has his or hers. This is what relativity purposes: time is unstable, it responds to mathematic equations, and as faster you go, it passes slower. People who travels a lot has to readjust the watch constantly because it has a delay on it!


VOCABULARY:

Hadron: quantical particle with no mass that gets into a quark or a neutrine when interacts with a boson, it can be detected because it leaves mark on gamma radiations.


PERSONAL OPINION:

As it is a science article it's difficult to give a valuable opinion but I'll try. I can't really disagree, because if I doubt of this all my base in physics disappears. Maybe it's not prooved yet but in afew years think we can guess how to do a time freezing, this theory responds to it.

My favorite kiteboarder

My favorite rider is Youri Zoon.

He is favorite one because of he is the kindest and the most perseverant rider in the PKRA world tour (kiteboarding world championship). He is one of the kindest because he has given a lot of money from his 2 world championships to an association against kids bad treatment in netherlands. He is the most perseverant because in 2006 when he joined the PKRA competed 2 years and got 5th in the overall ranking. After that, in 2007, he got injured, a very complicated ACL in his knee. Doctors said that he may not be able to ever kite again. But family, friens and sponsors, knew that Youri would make his comeback. Then in 2009 Youri came back being 3rd on 2009 overall ranking. With this he made the most succesful comeback ever in the PKRA. 2 years later, Youri, wins every single competition out there only loosing on the doubles. In the last stop in the PKRA, Youri is very close to loose against his worst nightmare, Alex Pastor. Alex has not been able to beat him yet but in this competition things can change. In New Caledonia there are only 20kts of steady wind and lots of choppy in the bay, it doesn't look good... As a small miracle Youri makes it into the final against Alex Pastor. Youri knows what is going to happen if he doesn't make proffit of this opportunity so he makes the best trick sequence ever. Without getting hooked he does an s-mobe, a front blind mobe, and finally a kiteloop 9. Judges are amazed and give youri 42.5 points. Alex only getts 36.5. So Youri gets the Ultimate reward, the world championship. 

He does a very hard workout between 2011 and 2012 season, so in 2012 he wins the world title again and he doesn't have the same supremacy but he wins the world title and Alex Pastor wants to win next year.

This year the competition has been leaded by Alex Pastor(who is the current world champion), Marc Jacobs(2nd in the overall) and finally Liam Whaley and Christoph Tack (they are currently fighting for the 3rd place in Argentina's PKRA stop). There is an upcoming talent in the youngster (according to my opinion), Patrick Blanc. This young rider is from Barcelona and is one of the best riders I've ever seen. He does a few tricks that amaze me: front mobe (his most powerful trick in my opinion), blindjudge 5 and tantrum to blind are my favorite tricks (he can do lots of tricks but these are the most amazing ones.

My favorite song in english

U2-Raised by Wolves

Face down on broken street
There’s a man in the corner
In a pool of misery
I’m in a white van
As a red sea covers the ground
Metal crash I can’t tell what it is
But I take a look and now I’m sorry I did
5:30 on a Friday night
33 good people cut down

I don’t believe anymore
I don’t believe anymore

Face down on a pillow of shame
There are some girls with a needle
Trying to spell my name
My body’s not a canvas
My body’s now a toilet wall

I don’t believe anymore
I don’t believe anymore

Raised by wolves
Stronger than fear
Raised by wolves
We were raised by wolves
Raised by wolves
Stronger than fear
If I open my eyes
You dissappear

I don’t believe anymore
I don’t believe anymore

Boy sees his father crushed under the weight
Of a cross in a passion where the passion is hate
Blue mink Ford, I’m gonna detonate and you’re dead
Blood in the house
Blood on the street
The worst tings in the world are justified by belief
Registration 1385-WZ

I don’t believe anymore
I don’t believe anymore

Raised by wolves
Stronger than fear
Raised by wolves
We were raised by wolves
Raised by wolves
Stronger than fear
If I open my eyes
You dissappear

This song from U2 talks about a terrorist attack that was done by adolescents. They had been convinced to do this by a terrorist band and at that moment thay were really scared. The song says that they were raised by wolves, what means a bit that their warrior and betrayer spirit impulsed them to do this. They putted a bomb car in the street and detonated it, killing with this a lot of innocent people. Bono, the U2's leader and singer said that the tittle of the album would be songs of innocence because songs would be related to things that affected innocent people. He also gave a lot of money to the affected families of each cause. This album has been released this 2014 and the peculiarity has been taht it has appeared in everybody's iTunes for free, what has given to U2 1,000,000 more followers in all the social networks. 

Batxillerat

This year I have begun Batxillerat and I was really scared about how would things change and how much would it cost me to get adapted. In this sense I'm really impressed cause I've had very nice results. I'm trying to get adapted on some subjects yet but hard working I won't have complications. The biggest difference I've found is that last year I did almost nothing and I had the same marks I'm having (this year I'm working a lot). Something I don't like is that some people who study Batxillerat are not really concious that this is a serious period and we have to study as much as possible, and with their annoying interventions we get delayed. Don't know what more to say, maybe that my favorite subjects are Physics and Maths, and I've met new people who are becoming very important for me. Another thing I've noticed is that, as we grow up, we use to become mor social and we meet new friends without even noticing! But we also get worse in other things such as discipline, don't know if it's cause we feel we are old enough or just for any sort of mental problems. Well, at last say that I'm proud of being in batxillerat, and I'm also proud of all my friends cause some of them find it really difficult and with a bit of help they get very good results!

A kitesurfing accidental day

Last weekend I went to sail to La Palme (France), because I knew there was a good forecast there and I didn't want to lose such an oportunity. I left home at 9:30 A.M. and went straight to the frontier, where my friends and I stopped to get some food. I think I began feeling pain on my back by that moment. 45 minutes after, we got there, and there was no wind yet, so we mounted our basecamp and stayed joking until the wind became strong enough to have a nice session. At 12:00 AM more or less the wind picked up to 15 gnarly knots, that went up and down unconstantly. We decided to sail though, we where really desperated.

The first accident of the day happened when my friend Genis, (who is a bit silly sometimes)-sorry me if you read this- got lost in the worst part of the lagoon. La Palme is a lagoon surrounded by forests and when he wanted to investigate insider he didn't know how to come back. The thing is: the wind went down and we didn't know where he was, so we decided to go for him. After 1 hour of hard research we found him walking on the side of the road with the kite under the arm and dirty of mud! Well at least he wasn't hurt.

The second one was when my friend Carlos jumped and faceplanted his landing on his own car (nobody thought that this could happen but it did so...).

Then the third involved me and my back pain. I had been sailing the whole day and I hadn't almost felt any pain, but at 3:00 PM the wind picked up to 20 steady knots and I went straight into the water for having the sesh I hadn't had yet, and that happened, when i tried to do the backmobe i landed very hard and had an overstrectchment in my back. I couldn't take my shoes off, I was tied to the board and I couldn't move, I felt an intense pain. My friends took me out of the water how they could and brought me to the sand, when I was getting up to stay on foot I got stucked, I began feeling a lot of pain in my back and couldn't move. Oh shit, this is serious. We were a bit scared, I'm just 15. 15 year-old people don't get stucked on their backs. We went straight to the closest hospital where they gave me something that made me recover a bit of my movement.

This is a normal day of my weekends ;)

Kitesurf in Sant Pere Pescador, an endless pursuit.

In my village, there is a lot of sea culture. It includes the sea sports of course, but there is one that has never been accepted at all: Kitesurf.

The little minority of people who practice this sport is tired of having the same problems with the coasts department tear after year. We just want to sail but the mayor doesn't understand it. He has given interviews to many newspapers where he says that the decrease of beach tourism is our fault, for our incivism. We don't agree, of course no! There are just a few kiters that use to generate problems and they are: Tourists and learners. There are not many kiters that are ib this conditions cause most of the riders know the spot, and know what to do for not having any problems. It's not fair that we all have to pay for that. We just have 150m to sail over 8km of beach! Okey that it,s full but there are parts that are really empty and they don't give us any more meters. The problem with this kite zone is that we have to pay for it and it costs above 150€ for just 3 months! I'm really disappointed about this cause many people can't afford paying it and they need to kite, so they go to another zone which is ilegal, for this reason (that is not really our fault) we are considered the sea piracy.
