The duet Jesse & Joy went to Mexicali, Baja California on March 12, 2012 in
their tour “¿Con quién se queda el perro?” of México.
The people who attended were divided by sections; the first one was the
premier zone which was completely filled with great admirers, the second
one was the largest zone of the concert: the preference. And the last one
was the general section which ended at the entrance.
The Mexican alternative pop duet has a lot of teen-
agers wait hours before the concert started be-
cause there made a runway of a company that was
sponsor of the event. Later Jerry Demara showed
up singing “Mentiras piadosas” he’s achievement.
The concert started at 11:00 pm with the song
“Aqui voy”, and then they sang songs of their last
album “Esta es mi vida” in which ones the audi-
ence start singing in chorus. One hour later the
duet said goodbye and leave the stage but the pub-
lic were screaming “Corre, corre, corre” which is a
very famous song. Jesse and Joy come again to
the stage and sing the acclaimed song.
It ended almost at 1:00 am and all the people there
were satisfied about the excellent concert, it’s
seems that if they come again to Mexicali there
would be a lot of fans in there and it’s would have a
lot of greats comments about it.
The public wait for the beginning
of the show for almost 2 hours.
Finally the show started at 10 pm
and ended at 2 am, the environ-
ment of the audience were relax-
ing and fun, everyone was enjoy-
ing the show.
They could participate on it mak-
ing a joke in front of everyone.
At the end of the show everyone
were satisfied about it, there were
a lot of good comments, news
and reviews of how good the
show was because almost ever
year they came to Mexicali and
make a incredible show.
The book Juliet, the
author, Anna Fortier try to explain the back
grown of the story that
supposed inspire the play wrote by Shakespeare.
The novel can be read on an
aleatory way the story be-
tween the real Juliet and Romeo, how their families
became enemies and the fa-mous tragic love story; this
part, ambient in the age of
Siena 1340, its fine cause have, all the elements that a
story have, action, love, fights, tears, forbidden love,
things that every romantic
novel has to have.
The other story include it is
develop on the 2011 Siena, Italy and the principal role
is a girl descendant of the
real Juliet, how try to figure out what happened with the
dead of her parents. In this part the author, en-
force herself to create an at-
mosphere of intrigues, mys-tery, action and love, but ac-
tually is boring and seems like a bad intent to fill blank
pages.
So if you are interest on read
and tragic love story based on the Romeo and Juliet by
Shakespeare, you can skip
that chapters how talk about Siena 2011, you aren’t
going to lose anything.
This American T.V. series it´s about a man called Ted, an who is telling to his daughter and son, from the future,
the story about him and his friends 2005 until the day he know their mother.
The pilot is about Ted the main character real-
ize that he want find a girl and get married just like his two best friends Marshall and Lily are
getting marry. Moreover, by the season continuous could be saw how Ted lose the faith on find her dream
girl, the many times he almost know the mother, all the crazy things he did with his
gang.
The T.V. series also tells the story of all Ted´s friends, Robin an ex-
girlfriend who is afraid of compro-mise and doesn´t like kids and workaholic; Barney an incorrigible lady´s man, who anybody knows what he
does for work and give us phrases, like cool story bro, and Lily and Marshall a particularly couple who know each other since college,
she is kind of crazy and evil master mind and he has strangers ideas.
The season eight, might the last one, Ted finally is going to find
the girl of his dreams and be happy as he always dream.
First saw this on cable TV. Thumbing through the channels I stopped just as Donnie Darko was be-ginning. I thought the title was weird, and readied my thumb on the remote channel selector pointed it at the TV and it stayed there for the rest of the movie! I couldn't stop watching! I've never seen a movie like this.
I think the main theme of this film was summed up somewhere in the middle, where Donnie is
speaking to a not-so-helpful self-help guru and says something to the follow-ing effect: "Yes, I am scared and I am confused. But I think you are the f****** anti-christ." In the end, Donnie Darko is a film about people who feel life and all the emotions within it very deeply. Donnie himself is a basically sweet-tempered (often courageous) young man who is pathologically terrified of loneliness and the thought of spiritual isolation. His quest for meaning and self-discovery drives him to the fringes of our reality, which only serves to isolate him more from the world he loves. The few who understand what Donnie is going through go largely unnoticed (such as his girlfriend Gretchen or a tragically overweight yet remarkable sensitive little girl) or unappreciated (such as Karen, the English teacher whose only sin is trying to show her stu-dents that there is no such thing as a true end.) Of course, this movie far from polarizes its characters (indeed, polarization is the last thing this film wants to accomplish) and the majority are just a mishmash of the beautiful and the grotesque: Donnie's parents, who are at the same time loving and perpetually confused; the aforementioned self-helper Jim Cunningham, who is desperate to spread the lie that keeps him sane to everybody else; and Donnie's sister, Probably the best thing about this movie, though, is its incredible emotional range. It manages to inspire hope, love, dread, laughter, and tears at different points throughout the movie without making you feel least bit like there is a contradiction between those states.
They say that if you
combine a great charac-
ter with a great actor,
you're halfway to a
great show. "House M.D."
seems to do that with
most of its cast, but es-
pecially Gregory House
and Hugh Laurie. House
is a snarky, sarcastic,
occasionally callous
but adorable jerk. He is
also the most brilliant
yet least well-adjusted
doctor at Princeton-
Plainsboro Teaching
Hospital. Around him
are three junior doc-
tors, all three of whom
have varied but inter-
esting personalities.
There is also his only friend, James Wil-
son, an oncologist and his superior
with whom he has a rather antagonis-
tic relationship. House involves
strange, rare and complicated cases
with no easy diagnosis, resulting in
the spouting of some mind-numbing
medical terminology (which I thought
was a brave and successful attempt at
retaining some reality) and often
character-driven story lines. "House"
has the best writing for any show in
America, if you don't believe me just
check the "quotes" of the series for
samples of dialogue.
House had an infraction in his leg, re-
sulting in it becoming painful and near
-impossible to move, which made him ad-
dicted to a painkilling drug known as
Vicodin, which proves to be the source
of many problems. House is, for all his
imperfectness, a genius, a master of ob-
servation which is depicted in his clinic
cases as he can instantly detect either
and environmental cause for the dis-
ease/problem or find some the patient
themselves do not know about. He is a
deep character, though, and flawed,
but likable, making him a cornerstone
for this shows incredible success with
the critics.
It’s very difficult for someone to not
fell in love with this show, everything
it’s just in the right place, this is a
10/10 Tv show, so go on and watch it with
no doubts at all.
The Suzanne
Collins´s bestseller it´s also a block-buster, but what this movie has
that so many people
watch this movie.
The trama it´s about a girl named Katniss who is going to the traditional games, where one girl and one boy be-tween 12 and 18 are selected randomly by the govern-ment also kwon as Capitol; Katniss go because she pro-pose her as volunteer taken it the place of her little sister. For win The hunger games she must kill 23 tributes from the twelve districts of Panem. Another problem for the main character is the fake love story with the boy of her district Peeta, also playing, because that way they will be help to win, she doesn´t agree it at the being, because she have no fellings for Peeta, but he does and the boy believe that she loves him back. At the end when almost all the tributes are die an an-nouncement from the Capitol change the destiny of Kat-niss and Peeta from district twelve.
Born on September 6,
1943 in Surrey, England,
Roger was only an infant
when his father, Eric
Fletcher Waters was killed
in action in Anzio, Italy
during World War II.
Roger really never got
over the loss of his father, or the rage towards the system which
took his father from him. Roger as a teen joined the Naval Cadets,
which didn't last too long. He didn't like it, so instead quit and re-
ceived a dishonerable discharge. Most of his songs after Wish You
Were Here are his personal dealings with both of these ghosts from
the past. It wasn't until The Flickering Flame do we hear Roger
start to make peace with his demons.
In his early 20s, Roger attended Regent Street Poly in London,
studying architecture. He formed a band with fellow classmates
Richard Wright, Nick Mason and Clive Metcalf. Calling themselves
"Sigma 6", they went on to change their name (and management)
several times. T-set, The Architectural Abdabs and The Screaming
Abdabs were a few of the names chosen. Later, after Clive had
left, a childhood friend of Roger's from Cambridge, Syd Barrett,
started sitting in on sessions. Soon they began billing themselves in
local pubs as "The Pink Floyd Sound", a name Syd Barrett came up
with by merging the names of two of his favorite blues guitarists,
Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. Later it was simply changed to
"Pink Floyd" and the group had begun. Below is Nick Mason, Roger,
Richard Wright and Syd Barrett.
Roger Waters
He wrote the song “Take Up Thy
Stethoscope and Walk” on their de-
but LP, The Piper at the Gates of
Dawn. The album was a critical suc-
cess and posi-
tioned the
band for star-
dom. His best
friend and band
mate Barret
started to have
mental prob-
lems, Waters
was unable to
continue writ-
ing and com-
posing for the
band because of the time he was
having taking care of him.
Waters attempted to coerce his
friend into psychiatric treatment;
this proved unhelpful, and the band
Growing tensions within the band, and Roger threatening to
withhold his parts of The Wall from the rest of the band caused
Richard Wright's eventual departure, then Roger leaving the band
himself in 1985. He went on to a solo career, releasing 6 albums
including the ones he released prior to leaving the band. Roger
tried to stop former band members from
using the Pink Floyd name, as he thought
they would take it in directions he be-
lieved were contrary to what he thought
the band represented. A court battle en-
sued, but was eventually settled out of
court. Pink Floyd was able to continue
without Roger and made several successful
cds after his departure. Nick Mason made
a guest appearance in 2002 during
Roger's In The Flesh show, causing Floyd
fans to cheer. David and Roger have not
had very many nice things to say about
each other to the press in the last 18 years, and neither has
spoken since. Rick attended one of Roger's shows in 2002 as
well, but was not received very well when he showed up back-
stage. Despite fans wanting Pink Floyd to reunite with Roger,
the chance of this is next to impossible.
He was born December 1, 1935 in Brooklyn, New York. As
a young boy he became intrigued with magic tricks and
playing the clarinet, two hobbies that he continues to
these days.
His childhood was not particularly happy: his parents
did not get along, and he had a rocky relationship with
his stern, temperamental Mother. Allen spoke German
quite a bit during his early years.
After high school, he attended New York University,
where he studied communication and film. He later
briefly attended City College of New York and soon
flunked out. Later, he learned via self-study rather
than the classroom.
He eventually taught at The New School. He also stud-
ied with writing teacher Lajos Egri.
He broke into show business at age 15 when he started
writing jokes for a local
paper, receiving $200 a
week. He later moved on to
write jokes for talk shows
but felt that his jokes were
being wasted. His started
doing stand-up and telling
his own jokes, he agreed
and, although he initially
performed with such fear of
the audience that he would
cover his ears when they ap-
plauded his jokes.
After performing on stage for a few years, he
was approached to write a script for Warren
Beatty to star in: "What's New Pussycat?" and
would also have a moderate role as a character
in the film. As production was ongoing for the
film, Woody gave himself more and better lines
and left Beatty with less compelling dialogue.
Beatty inevitably quit the project and was re-
placed by Peter Sellers, who demanded all the
best lines and screen time. It was from this
experience that Woody realized that he couldn´t
work on a film without complete control over
its production.
Woody's directorial debut was in "What's Up,
Tiger Lily?", but His real directo-
rial debut came the next year in the mockumen-
tary ( is a type of film or television show in
which fictitious events are presented
in documentary format) "Take the Money and
Run."
While best known for his romantic come-
dies Annie Hall (1977) and Manhattan (1979).
In his long career, Allen has won a total of 21
Academy Awards and 8 Golden Globes, He is one
of the most awarded directors in the history of
modern cinema. To the list of those awards we
must add,s multiple Bafta, and, above all, the
Prince of Asturias Prize for the Arts, which
was granted in 2002.
As a writer has also published
most of his scripts, high-
quality literary pieces them-
selves, several novels and,
above all, stories. Should be
emphasized with reports in
Spain, and How Tales feather-
less end once and for all to
culture.
At 15, Woody Allen was renamed
and three years later he en-
rolled at New York University
to study Cinematography, but
after stopping a course of pro-
duction and bored to tears,
dropped out after one semester
in the university classroom to
engage to write gags for come-
In 1956 Woody married Harlene
Rosen, whom he divorced in
1959.
In 1966 he wrote the play "Do
not Drink The Water", which
premiered successfully on
Broadway and in the same year
he married Louise Lasser, ac-
tress who appeared with Allen
on several of his initial
films. They divorced in 1969.
He won the Oscar for best
original screenplay for
"Midnight In Paris" (2011). He
has a son named Ronan (born in
1987), from his rela-
tionship with Mia
People love music for much the same reason they're drawn to
sex, drugs, gambling and delicious food, according to new re-
search. When you listen to tunes that move you, the study
found, your brain releases dopamine, a chemical involved in
both motivation and addiction.
Pop music, as a genre, is very eclectic, often borrowing ele-
ments from other styles throughout its course such
as urban, dance, rock, Latin and country yet there are core
elements which define it.
Scientists have predicted pop hits by performing MRI scans
on people listening to unreleased tunes. Future hits lit up
pleasure centers in the brain; dopamine was released when
melodies occurred that the brain had predicted. "Pop music
is basically cranial crack." the songs gave their brains the
kind of high you usually have to break a bunch of laws to
achieve, they consciously went against their brainwaves in
order to seem less inclined to pop music than the MRI scan-
ner showed they were.
And not only does your brain go apeshit when it hears pop
music, but also it actually derives pleasure
from predicting the melodies as you listen, anticipating the
emotion associated with certain types of music. When your
brain is expecting something to happen, and when it actually
does another rush of dopamine comes in from an entirely dif-
ferent part of the brain. And this is where your brain enters
Addict Mode.
That night the sky was falling to pieces, to Lara
wouldn´t surprise if the rain turns into hail.
She was alone at her home and then she stared to re-
member all the horror films, that she saw with her
best friend Luz; that movies were the principally rea-
son for why she was holding a baseball bat from her
brother.
She hearted a noise coming from the second floor, she
became alert and went go upstairs and heard a new
sound, she looked carefully at the place where the noise
came and discovered that just was Philip, her little
brother´s rabbit , that escaped from it cage. Lara smiled
for herself, took Philip in her arms and came back to the
living room to watched T.V.
She was having that
dream again. She was
being chased, and no
matter how far or how
fast she ran, she could
never get away. And
just before she thought
she would get caught,
she'd wake up, breath-
ing hard, sweating, and
terrified. She checked
the clock on her bed-
side table. It was
3A.M. on a Saturday
morning. She glanced
over at her window,
and could've sworn she
saw shadows. She shut
her eyes and shook her
head, and when she
looked again they were
gone. "Breathe," Asia
whispered to herself.
"Nothing could be
there. Nothing bad ever
happens here." Asia
had to stop herself
from giggling hysteri-
cally. Sleep depravity
was becoming a prob-
lem. Just earlier this
evening she had
thought she had seen
the shadows that before
she had only seen right
after waking up from
the nightmare. Her par-
ents were becoming
worried, but for now,
Asia told them she was
fine.
Though, the shadows
never went away.
Every night, the night-
mares kept on coming.
Every night the shad-
ows were there, if only
for seconds. The night-
mares were becoming
worse. Tonight, she
was running until her
voice was hoarse from
panting, sweat running
down her face. Shad-
ows followed until the
dark hands would be
grasping at her back,
then she woke up in
her bed. This time
though, as Asia looked
out the window, the
shadows didn't go
away.
-"STOP!" she
screamed.
-"LEAVE ME
ALONE!"
She continued, her eyes
glued to the growing
shadow, slipping down
the window, curving its
way around the bed
post, blackening every-
thing in its path. She
pulled up the covers
leaving just enough
space for her to see, her
hands shaking, beads
of sweat on her fore-
head, cold, tears filling
her eyes. "I'll do any-
thing, just, please... just
go..." she sobbed, gasp-
ing for air. The shadow
stopped halfway up the
sheets, and a dark vel-
vet voice asked
"Anything?...
"She said to leave her
alone," came a voice
from Asia's open win-
dow. Her eyes darted to
the window. "Austin!"
she exclaimed. The boy
jumped down from the
window, and slowly
walked over to her bed.
-"Leave her alone,"
He growled.
-"Don't make me say it
again."
The shadow snarled
and recoiled in re-
sponse, and quickly
slithered away, back
out the window and
into the night. Asia let
out a sigh of relief and
relaxed her body. Then
she looked over at
Austin, her best
friend for years.
If we look closely we see that within societies there are groups
opposed to the rules it imposes, dress and act differently, they do
the same activities as other people do not have common tastes.
The groups of people are called subcultures or countercultures,
they do not follow the behavior of the dominant culture, if not
with their own beliefs, ideologies and behaviors.
There are many different subcultures may be young, religious,
even sexual orientation, as each has its own rules. When a sub-
culture operates within a city is called urban tribe, and there are
many, we can find the punks, graffiti artists, rockers, geeks,
among many others, but in this work we only are going to trite
the subculture of otaku.
The otaku are those who have a fascination with Japa-
nese culture, read manga5 (Japanese comics), come
anime1 (Japanese animation), collect video games,
practicing the famous cosplay2 (worn as anime or
manga characters), and many other activities.
In the late 80's early 90's is subculture emerged in
Mexico, thanks to Japanese anime that began to be-
come popular thanks to television broadcasters, but
otaku do not get so popular so far. Each time this ur-
ban tribe is being noted, events are larger and made
going to the streets in their cosplay outfits. You have to
take into account that they are normal people like us,
only that their interests were taken to another level,
rather than a hobby, now became a lifestyle.
This research seeks to explain exactly what they do,
their origin, how are members, and how it has devel-
oped in our city to over the years
Otaku is also a formal way of saying "you" and "you"
in Castilian. Young fans of manga and anime were very
shy and used the word otaku in excess, that’s why peo-
ple started calling the otaku-zoku (otaku tribe).
Now, the concept has changed again, is equivalent to
what we call nerd, geek or nerd, here in the West, that
people generally are withdrawn and shy. Still, the
Japanese are taking it as an outrage.
In Europe and America, the term otaku is used to refer
only those who have an obsession with Japanese cul-
ture, especially the fans individuals manga and anime.
Fernando Perez: Why do you work on this area? Luis Gallego: Well, this is not my only work but I have this passion for mu-
sic since I was a kid, I always wanted to have my studio and working on
this area, maybe this is just a hobby but I love it.
FP: What are the reasons for someone to creat a band? LG: People have several reasons, but I think principal ones are just to be fa-
mous and have money, it’s a dream for everyone that plays any instrument.
FP: Do you think that the musical scene in Mexicali really has something to give? LG: I think there are few artists in the city that deserves a try and deserves to
be listened, but for their bad luck that’s not just what you need to be success-
ful in this business.
FP: How has been the scene in the last 10 years? LG: There has been a lot of new artists, for example Insite is one of those
bands that represents what the local artists are, if a city wants to be looked
from different parts of the world musically speaking, it needs to have some-
one to represent it, in this case, Insite, Reik and that kind of bands does it.
Luis Gallego is known in
Mexicali for having one of
the best recording studios in
the city, he works as a pro-
ducer, and he studied Lic.
Mercadotecnia in Cetys
Universidad, we ask him
about the local artist in
Mexicali.
FP: Is there any artist that takes it to another level? LG: Well in this moment I think
the best example is the hardcore
band “Our Reflections” they are
looking right now to be signed by
“Sumerian Records” and if that
happened it’s definitely going to
be big.
FP: Are there any awards for the city into the music business? LG: There aren’t actually, I think
the best recompense for a local art-
ist it’s knowing that the people is
helping him coming out.
FP: What are the influences of the local artists? LG: It depends on the artist, not
every artist here have the same
taste on the genres.
FP: Is there any support for music in the city? LG: Definitely, the only thing
that really bothers me here is that
some people complain about pay-
ing like $100.00 pesos max and
that’s basically nothing compared
to USA.
FP: What do people expect
from a local artist? LG: People definitely expect the
best, here in Mexicali we love to
criticize that’s why the artists
here need to be prepared for it.
FP: Can anyone be part of the music business? LG: No, you need to be different
from everybody, you can recog-
nize if someone has potential in
the instant you see him.
FP: What do you need to be successful in the business? LG: Lot of guts, money and time.
FP: What are the principal genres that people hear? LG: Right now, hardcore and
techno is what most people hear,
this happened because we are in
the border, we are influenced by
the US and because of this every-
thing that’s popular there, it
starts to be popular here.
