Lalala.. lalala... laaaaa!!

So, my second task was to talk about my favourite song. After thinking a bit, I realized I don't have any. So, I remembered I heard a really good lyric the other day on the radio. A specific sentence kept me thinking:

"When you love someone and they break your heart, don't give up on love, have faith, restart. Just hold on, hold on".

"What a great song!" - I thought. Nowadays we hear a bunch of depressing lyrics with words about feelings like sadness, depression, loneliness and so on. No one tells us what this song is trying to: HOLD ON! Don't freak out! Don't panic! Just hold on!

My mom used to say "No matter what is happening in our lives, things can always get worse". I believe this song has something about this too. It is common to hear that people - specially the young ones - have to fight against problems and dissapointments. But maybe there's another way to struggle this: by just holding on.

So, wondering how the rest of the song goes, I turned to my best Internet friend: Google =). So I googled it.

JONAS BROTHERS!!! That's the name of the band.

This band is conformed by three brothers and have a pop-punk influence. "The brothers say their writing reveals a lifetime of influences—everything from My Chemical Romance to the Backstreet Boys to Weird Al Yankovic. Still, what you really hear on The Jonas Brothers is the sound of three young musicians finding their own voice—their own distinctive blend of Nick’s way with an R&B vocal, Joe’s love of danceable beats and Kevin’s obsession with guitar solos."

So, here's the lyrics and also the YouTube link. I'll try to add this video to "Videos!" Channel, allright?

JONAS BROTHERS - HOLD ON

We don't have time left to regret

It will take more then common sense

So stop your wondering take a stand

Cause there's more to life than just to live

CHORUS

Cause an empty room can be so loud

There's too many tears to drown them out

So hold on, hold on

One single smile a helping hand

It’s not that hard to be a friend

So don't give up stand till the end

'Cause there's more to life than just to live

CHORUS

Cause an empty room can be so loud
There's too many tears to drown them out
So hold on, hold on

When you love someone and they break your heart
Don't give up on love
Have faith restart
Just hold on, hold on

When it falls apart and you’re feeling lost

All your hope is gone

Don’t forget to

Hold on, hold on

CHORUS (x2)

Cause an empty room can be so loud

There's too many tears to drown them out

So hold on, hold on
When you love someone and they break your heart

Don't give up on love

Have faith restart

Just hold on, hold on

ENJOY!!

So, after all... I have a blog =P

Yes ladies and gentlemen! Although I tried.. I couldn't resist!

I HAVE A BLOG!!!

But it is not going to be the regular type of blog, where everyone cries out their problems or existential doubts.... this has been created only because I had to.
So my friends, don't be afraid! Soon I'll be back into Internet's anonymous system (I don't have Facebook, Fotolog, Hi5 or any other website about me) after I pass this subject!! (I hope so, after all classes and labs I have missed =$).

I have to say I don't know what to expect about this blog. I'm actually the anti-blog type of person. Maybe this can be the beginning of something new, who knows? I don't even visit a blog frequently (except for PostSecret... check it on my "Favourite Websites"!!) so I don't know much about them. What should I post? What shouldn't I? Can I talk about anything? Should I comment about my own experiences and thoughts? 
All I have to say is that I'm curious about this new challenge... specially if it is in English! =S

So, my assingments now are:

1. Write a short description of yourself in the 'Settings' section of the website (3-4 sentences) and then write your first post. In your first post you should introduce yourself and write about your expectations for working with blogs (100 words minimum).  DONE!!

2. Post the lyrics of a song you like in ENGLISH! In the introduction tell me WHY you have chosen this song, then tell me a little bit about the band/singer. Minimum: 80 words

P.S. Try to include the audio or video of the song as a YouTube link or something. :-)

3.

a) Tell me about your previous weekend by making a 100 word post, with a couple of photos. Bring your photos on a pen drive or e-mail them to yourself if you don't feel comfortable posting them on your blog.

b) As second activity, each of you will visit another classmate's blog and correct their English.

4. Look for good websites in English, connected to your area of study. Pick up to 2 or 3, explain why you have selected each, and make the link to visit them.(120 words)Then you have to visit your classmates' posts, check their selection of websites, and write a couple of comments to those students whose websites they have found interesting.

Wish me luck!
