"Georgia On My Mind" - Ray Charles


Georgia, Georgia
The whole day through (the whole day through)
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind)

I'm say Georgia, Georgia
A song of you (a song of you)
Comes as sweet and clear
As moonlight through the pines

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

I said Georgia, oh Georgia
No peace I find (peace I find)
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind)

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

Woah, Georgia, Georgia
No peace, no peace I find
Just an old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind)

I said just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind


TRADUCCIÓ AL CATALÀ

Georgia, Georgia
Durant tot el dia (durant tot el dia)
Nomé una vella i dolça cançó
Manté a Georgia al meu cap (al meu cap)


Una cançó per tú (una cançó per tú)
Arriba dolça i clara
Com la llum de la lluna entre els pins

Altres braços arriben cap a mi
Altres ulls somriuen tendrament
En els meus pacífics somnis segueixo veient
La carretera que em torna cap a tú

He dit Georgia, Oh Georgia
No hi trobo pau (no hi trobo pau)
Nomé una vella i dolça cançó
Manté a Georgia al meu cap (al meu cap)

Altres braços arriben cap a mi
Altres ulls somriuen tendrament
En els meus pacífics somnis segueixo veient
La carretera que em torna cap a tú

Woah, Georgia, Georgia
No hi trobo pau, no hi trobo pau
Nomé una vella i dolça cançó
Manté a Georgia al meu cap (al meu cap)

He dit que només una vella i dolça cançó
Manté a Georgia al meu cap



Love isn't just for a people, you can love for example one thing, one conutry ... I've choose this song because the feeling Ray Charles have about his country. He maybe is far away from Georgia, but he is allways thinking in it, even in dreams he see a road to back there. The expressions he uses to tell us how in love he is are just beautiful, and show us a true expression of love that we didn't think in yet.

#shakespeare400

William shakespeare was born in 1564, he has been one of the most important dramaturgs ever thanks to his popular plays: Romeo and Juliet, Hamelet ... Today we are celebrating his 400 death aniversary, that's why the 23rd April will be an important day, and that's why we are studing his life and his plays right now. 

#stratford-upon-avon

This was the place where he was born and he spent his childhood. We can ubicate it in the center of England, it is a paceful village at the north of London. Now it's famous just because Shakespeare lived there, people go there to visit his house and his properties.


#annehathway

Anne Hathway was the wife of Shakespeare, they were married when he was 18 and she was 26. They had 3 kids : 2 girls and 1 boy. Susanna was the oldest, and Hamnet and Judith, the youngers, were twins. Hamnet however died when he was only 11.

#theglobe

The Globe Teatre was a teathre in London built in 1599 by Shakespeare's playing company. It was destroyed once on 29 June 1613, and the same teather was built one year later and closed on 1642. The modern reconstruction of the Globe is named "Shakespeare's Globe", opened in 1997.


#plays

William Shakespeare wrote more than 35 plays in his life. Maybe not all are famous, because they are not like Romeo and Juliet or Hamlet but the thing is he wrote them. Most of his works are comedies, but he wrote some tragedies and histories too. Actually Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet are tragedies.

#plague

Since 1592 to 1594 London's theaters had to close because it was dangerous for many people to be together in a small place. In this time Shakespeare wrote poetry, and began his sonnets.  

#queeneliazbeth

During Queen's Elizabeth reign there was a lot of activity in all the arts: architecture, painting, music and poetry. In drama the activity was extraordinary, there were many good playwrights writing nice plays, but Shakespeare was the best, he was known everywhere in the world.



#thearmada

This was the name of the army Philip II of Spain sent to England in 1588. It failed because of the bad weather and the tactics of the smaller English ships, more than 11.000 Spanish soldiers were killed.



#shakespearequotes

"To be, or not to be: that is the question." This is probably the most famous quote of Shakespeare, it is from Hamlet, but isn't the only one he wrote. There are a lot of his quotes in Internet, here is a link where you can find some of them: http://www.buzzfeed.com/sarahgalo/happy-451st-birthday-to-the-bard#.pw5qn4lLg

EXPERIENCES IN LA VALL D'ARAN

When we arrived it was dark and cloudy. It was night, we traveled a lot with car. The trip took 4 boring hours spent in the car playing with the mobile phone or just telling bad jokes that made us want to go back home. I was with my little cousin, and he was like 8 years old and hated long trips like that. My sister was also there but she was sleeping, without making noise. Finally we arrived to La Vall d'Aran, and the fist thing we did was get off the car and walk for a few minutes. We park the car in a Mercadona's parking of Vielha and we started doing sightseeing trough the capital's streets. After some calls we meet a girl who let us her flat for some days. When we finished we look for a cheap restaurant to dinner, because we bought nothing for cooking that night. There were some good restaurants but we end in a pizzeria basically because the other places didn't like to my cousin and sister. Anyway, the pizzas were good. After spending maybe hours searching the apartment we found it near my uncles hollyday home. It was comfortable and welcoming, really clean and tidy. The first thing I noticed was the TV, and then an Internet router, and quickly I started laugh like a possessed. I was thinking everything was too much perfect for being real when it started to rain. It was a heavy storm with lightings and thunders, but we were calmed, we were in the flat, without need of going outside until the next morning, so we sit into the sofa and started watching an old movie in the TV. Suddenly stroked a powerful lighting next to the house, so we went to the window to watch the show. There was mistake, the mistake of this perfect apartment was in the windows ... It passed a lot of water trough them and carefully start wetting all the floor while we were thinking a solution desperately. The best one was to cover the windows with a towel so that was what we finally did. But it still raining during all the night and the towel was insufficient to stop all the water ... I couldn't understand how can it rain like this in summer ... Finally we went to sleep, we didn't care about what happen to the floor or to the flat ...

When we got up the next day, it was sunny, hot, and I was like "Really? You must be kidding me... ". There was less water than we thought. Everybody was alive, there weren't any serial damages, and the most important, the Internet router and the TV were absolutely dry. Fortunately it just rained twice when we were there and the other time it rain we were prepared. My first impression of La Vall d'Aran wasn't so good but I knew the weather will change and my opinion too. And that was it, but ... We were going to France about every day, AND IT RAINED IN FRANCE EVERY DAY WE WENT THERE !

MY WORLD

PARKOUR

Everybody knows about people who does parkour, there are a lot of videos in YouTube about great people getting nice results of weeks, months and years of hard training. It is funny because a lot of people say it is or looks easy, but, did they tried to do the same things than this athletes? Everybody can run in a dangerous zone like a roof and jump awkwardly to the floor, but not everyone can do this movements again once they fall the first time, and then combine stunts and somersets to travel fast across the city's sights and public parks showing their skill. Maybe there are persons thinking that the people who is doing parkour are crazy, that they are just adolescents trying to seem cool risking his life, but there is more than this! As I said before people dedicated to this has been training for a long time improving his physical level, and took a lot of classes about techniques and tricks. Of course there aren't just teenagers who practice this sport, so this could be an evidence that prove that not everybody who is learning parkour wants to presume of this. I can tell you for example about the first traceur ( this word means a person who does parkour, it's like saying cyclists or  swimmer, it comes from the french ). His name was David Belle, and he was in the French army since he was nineteen, he is considerate the creator of parkour. His finality was to create a faster movement method to move trough the cites without impediments, what was useful for his job. But with the time this definition has been modified because as you know good traceurs are amazing and that's what the viewers want now: tons of deadly jumps, stunts ... and without stop any moment! So that's what we understand now about parkour, and even have changed his original meaning it still being the same important or maybe more! Because you know, with YouTube publicity you can make famous every single thing you want ...




Okay that was the "positive" part of the traceurs, now comes the negative one. Who haven't search a parkour fails video? Nobody! Because it's good to see these persons realizing successfully risky and dangerous jumps, but it's better to see the part of traceurs or false traceurs who doesn't! These persons must take care of his devil-may-care attitude! According my deductions 8/10 thoughtless are drunk while they are risking they life. Scientifically proven ( just kidding ). We all know try  to do something spectacular sometimes is hard, but what is really spectacular is the sum of fail videos that are nowadays in Internet... What's going on? Is this people recording on purpose videos where they are hurt ? Oh my god, what a few YouTube visits on your videos do ...

MY WORLD

MICRO VOLTS

How many shooter games have you played? Call of Duty ? Batelfield? Counter Strike maybe? You can play them in computers or video game consoles. There are a lot of commercials (especially about Call of Duty ) in webpages, YouTube and some are in the television too, that's why these games are famous. Another fact that popularize these games are the online streamings, where normally a youtuber is playing and commenting the game with his subscribers. But not in every case the most famous is the best one. Today i'm gonna talk about Micro Volts an underrated online game with a lot of nice game modes, toons of weapons and great and dynamic playstile. There are the classical shooter game modes like team deathmatch or elimination where the blue team fights against the red to get the maximum number of kills possible, but there is a difference between the normal shooting game modes and Micro Volts ones: normally in the popular games you can take with you just two weapons when in Micro Volts you can bring 7! In the deathmatch mode the players revive until one team get the maximum number of kills that usually is 100 or 80, but in elimination there are rounds where the people don't wake up again once they are death. The people get points surviving and killing the other team members, and the team who reach the maximum number of points win. In these game modes there is time too and when it ends the game finish and win the team with more kills / points. But these are just two of the forteen game modes! I don't got space to explain them all so I'll talk about my favorites.

ZOMBIE MODE

When the game starts you don't have ammo and there is just fiveteen senconds to find it trough the map, because once the fifteen seconds are passed one of the players is infected by a virus and converted into a creepy zombie. His mission is to infect each other with the virus to end the round and get a point for every zomie. The mission of the figures ( because the players are not humans, are collectionable figures ) is killing the zombies or avoid them for 3 minutes to stay alive and win the round. The good part is that zombies can only use a melee weapon so is so hard for them to catch a figure and infect it. I like this game mode the most beause it is really intense and you don't know who will be the zombie at the start, maybe a random person, maybe the friend who is playing with you , maybe yourself ...


BOSS BATTLE

This is a PvE game mode, PvE means Players versus Enemies ( controlled by the computer ). Your mission is to defeat with the help of three more players one robot called the "Tracker". Why is called like this ? Honestly I don't know ... This battle is pretty cool and isn't so difficult : this monster have only four weapons, that means he can attack you in four different ways, and once you memorize them they are really simple and easy to dodge. Of course there is a reward for the players who beat him, but for getting this reward you must'n die more than three times, basically because you only got three lives. If you spend them is just game over, the " Tracker " defeat you and maybe the next time you are more lucky.
