Paradoxes

These past two weeks have been hell on earth to me… I ran between work, university and my personal problems; I didn’t have any time to do anything at all. I feel like being overcrowded with work and study and I don’t have any more time to even talk to my friends and this situation has been taken the worst of me during this time. I think that I don’t have enough time to fulfil my obligations and I’m falling behind with the things that I have to do. Somehow this situation has been dragging me down the whole time, but today there was something that in a way cheered me up.
A few months ago, it was announced that one of my favourite bands “Las Pastillas del Abuelo” was going to come again to San Luis to present their new album called “Paradojas”. It will be the first show of their tour and they will present the album HERE, and with every ticket you will have a copy of the album. I have the privilege of having the 12th ticket to be there and I’m going to go with my best friend the 31st of October and watch them as closely as I did the previous three times I went to see them. So as of now you can think, and you will be absolutely correct, that I’m quite excited to go and see them.


Today, the 23rd of October, the album is now available in stores, and I already downloaded it fully and I’m listening to it while I write this entry. I feel the joy running through my veins. Even if these weeks had been hell to me, the music sets me free and I enjoy listening to the lyrics and the rhythm. It takes me back; back when I was this little child playing in an imaginary world, far away from this real world… filled with rage, sadness, death… Their music, like music from many other bands, transports me to a different world, one in which I don’t have to worry about anything. This music makes me realise that there are many things in this world that are better than those pessimistic feelings that fill our world. Music is one of my anchors to earth, but most of all, it’s what made me overcome these two weeks.

  1. Pablo, I think it was great you went to see "Las patillas del abuelo"(Grandfather´s pills jaja), you totally deserve it since you´re a very responsible teacher and student. Besides, it is advisable to stop and enjoy life, otherwise why are we here for??

  2. I know that is your favourite band, Pablo! I think you were extremely excited while you were writing this entry... I can distinguish that due to the expressions you used, haha. Apart from that, this year has been really hard for the majority of us, since we are in the last year of the degree and we are working as well. I consider a break from the routine is both necessary and compulsory. I wish you had had fun during the concert!
