My blogger

In my class of Reading and writing (R&W), my Teacher Marcy (the best teacher in Canada) gave an assignment, I needed to have a Blogger, in fact in my class of R&W with Kristi’s class we started our bloggers.
This assignment was hard for me, because I can’t write in English very well and always I need a lot time for do it, but I think this assignment improve my skills in English, well I Think, but the most important thing about this assignment is that I could know more about my classmates, I really enjoy reading classmates’ bloggers, because they wrote about their favorites items and sometimes their feelings.
Also, I could write about my favorites things like, music, movies, places, trips, etc, so that was good for me.
I don’t know if in my next course I’m going to need my blogger or I can write more bloggers so, I would like share some pictures with you.
First my apartment in Mexico City, if some day you will go to Mexico City, you are welcome stay here; and my favorite ruins close to Mexico City Teotihucan, I think is the most important culture In Mexico.
Well I hope so. somebody share my hobbies, see you soon.

My Cat Mucky Telonius Lascurain De Los Montero y Valle



I love cats; I always have cats in my life, I would like to have a cat in Canada, unfortunately it is impossible because I don't know how long I will be here.


I used to have many cats when I was living in my mother’s house, I tried to have one in my apartment last year but my girlfriend couldn’t support him, she heats the hair that cats give off.


After she gave Mucky off I took him to my mother’s house, it was very difficult time for him because I already have 2 cats there: Lucky and Lion, Lucky is a female and she is very nice and cute, she was happy to receive Mucky, she was friendly and playful with him, unfortunately Lyon haven’t the same feeling, he hates Mucky, sometimes it happens between cat males, the poor Mucky was afraid of Lyon because he is younger than he and because he never had cats around him, on the other hand Lyon is very rude, he spent a lot of time in the street fighting with other cats, however with the time they forgot their differences and now are friends or kind of this because between cat males is not commun to be friendly.
Hopefully one of this days Mucky can come back to his first house I really miss him, I will try to get a deal with my girlfriend.
My cat’s name is very long because it is a fun name, my girlfriend and I called him Mucky Telonius Lascurain De Los Montero y Valle because he is a Siamese with linage and he deserved to have a fancy name.

CAFE TACVBA

In my last blogger I wrote about my favorite group U2, but it is my favorite group in English language, for this in this blogger I will wrote about my favorite Mexican group, “Café Tacvba”. Café Tacvba is a group who has been played for about 15 years, in fact in 2006 they celebrated their 15 anniversary.
This group is from Ciudad Satelite a neighborhood near to Mexico City, they started their group 1989 but, they recorded their 1st LP in 1992, now Café Tacvba has 10 albums.
I like this group because in their songs they mix almost all the rhythms of typical Mexican music like huapango, quebradita, bolero and Mexican rock with new rhythms like hip-hop, electronic, punk and rock, also in their letters they talk about Mexican's costumes and life in Mexico City, also they are a group that always try to help people, for example last December they did a concert to help people who lives in south of Mexico, this region had many natural troubles and was almost destroyed for a flood.
I had been in many concerts of Café Tacvba and I enjoy a lot to listen this group in concert I think they are the best Mexican group. I have almost all music of “los tacubos” as Mexican people call them, I would like to share some music of Los Tacubos with you, I hope you can listen and enjoy it as me. I paste one of my favorite songs, "Chica Banda" (Gang's Girl).



My favorite concert


Once of my favorite hobbies is the music, I like to listen music, but my favorite activity is go to concerts, I was in a lot concerts in Mexico City, my first concert was in 1995 when David Bowie went to Mexico City with Erasure.
After than I went to many concert like festivals, outside, Mexican groups and international groups. My preferred group is U2, so I was in your concert in 1997, this concert was exciting because, it was my first time that I heard them on live. Unfortunately, after this concert, Mexican authorities had troubles with them, so they decided don’t get back to Mexico.
In 2001 U2 had their next tour, called Discotheque Tour, but U2 didn’t go to Mexico and any country of Latin America, the reasons were economist difficulty. I was upset with it, but I couldn’t anything, only I was waiting for them.
Finally in February, 2006 U2 came back to Mexico; I was very exciting and ready for buy my ticket, unfortunately I couldn’t buy anything, because all tickets were sold in 3 hours! So again I was waiting for a new concert. Three days after U2 opened one concert more; helpfully my girlfriend could buy a ticket.
The concert was in the “Estadio Azteca”, almost 90, 000 people were waiting for U2, the teat stage was amazing and spectacular and the sound terrific! They started with “City of blinding lights” after “vertigo”, the people were crazy, they continued with “Sunday bloody Sunday”, “Beautiful day”, “Elevation”, etc. The best part was when they play “Where street Here no name” and “Desire”
The people song all songs and their were really exciting like I. The concert end with “Forty” this song is symbolic for U2, the lights turn on and the people go out slowly, everybody were tired but, pretty satisfied, I was very happy because I was waiting almost 10 years for hear these songs on live and very proud because I knew all U2’s song.
I don’t know if U2 went to Mexico again, but for me, I don’t worry and I’m satisfied because I was in the best concert of my life.
