thought of the day

well december is just around the corner and that means christmas and vacations for almost everyone, a time of reflection and thought and fun, a time to think of how the year has been take the good with the bad and learn from it.

its also a time when everyone starts to make their year end list of what was best in music and film, and plans ahead for the next year or just takes it as it goes , the weather has been strange lately too many rain and sun at different parts of the week, its been a good year i could say at least ; adding to what has been said its also the time to travel to other parts of the country or the world.

thats all for the moment, next blog will be about music.

Christmas in November

its not strange that nowadays, christmas seems to come as early as octoner or november since starting this months almost every major or small store starts putting christmas ornaments to their establishments, an example of this was that before halloween the christmas parafernalia overcame in number to the halloween ornaments, costumes etc.

christmas now has become a business and not just a holiday that almost everyone enjoys that happens only once a year, supposedly christmas is a time of reflection and a time to be with family and friends but depending on how the year has been for you it can be a good time or bad, we remember how the year has been or just have fun visiting different places.
at least where i live theres the feria de cali as its called where people from various parts of the country to attend a wide spectre of events, from salsa dancing contests, to concerts from artists of various musical genres, thought this proved to be wrong in past years i hope this year theres more variety in what artist come here; since reggaeton is still popular here why i dont know but i hope that trend ends fast.
finally im hoping i have a good december and end of year, for the moment i know ill make a short trip to a small town called villa de leyva that has a cold weather but its very calm and peaceful, and you can buy various arts and crafts in other towns near this one.

the music scene

well depending on where we live, theres a music scene could be good or bad depending on what your music tastes are, at least where i live theres a music scene thats not very promoted that could be good.
they are all those independent bands that play in bars, houses and other places that try to do something different than whats already been heard, since the events where this bands play are rarely promoted few people attend to them; at least it happens here in my city.

support your local music scene, you might find your next favorite band
