Yngwie Malmsteen

I am not very fan of guitar, but sometimes I like to hear some good staff. There can be loads of discussions on what is better. Some people might like the sound of a Fender or you might enjoy the sound of a Gibson Les Paul plus Marshall. There are also lots of discussions about the style you prefer, you can enjoy blues with B B King or you may enjoy wild chorus and distortion from Jimmy Hendrix. I mostly enjoy everything, but sometimes I would like to watch very good players as Yngwie Malmsteen. Some pleople would find that guy boring as he does very extreme tunes at very high speed all the time, but I like it some times. There is a video I would like to share where you can see his skills. It is an old video but it is worth it.



I would like to write something about my weekly sports. I am playing Paddle, which is a sport that is absolutely not well known worldwide but it has a massive popularity in Argentina and Spain. For the people who don't know how the sport is, I will describe it: The best description is: It is like tennis but with walls. The size of the court is smaller than the tennis court but it is surrounded by walls, and you are allowed to play if the ball bounces the wall. It is nice to play doubles; otherwise you need to be very good fit, because you run like hell. With the doubles you need to understand your partner to know which balls are going to be wacked by you and which are going to be wacked by your partner.

I created a group where are the matches are discussed, and that group allows me to organize the matches if anyone can't play or suggests any other person to play. I also send the review of every match so we can also discuss how the match was.


I play about three times a week that kind of exercise allowed me to lose some weight, what was actually what I was looking for, besides to be in a better fit.

Yet another blog

I don't know why, but every day I need to blog what is going on with me, so why not, I started a new blog besides the one I write about trips where I will publish what is going on daily. I will post whenever I feel I need to post and besides, I can practice my English that might get a bit rusty.

I am watching the Davis Cup, now Chela is playing against an unknown Dutch player. Before Martin Vasallo Argüello won against another unknown Dutch player and we qualified to the quarters of the Cup. We've never won that bloody cup and it is a must for every single player in Argentina. People want that cup but it looks that is impossible to win it.

last year we played home against Spain. Nadal didn't play and even with those advanteges we lost the serie. People unleashed their anger against the players as they said that they were playing just for the money rather than playing for the country.

We will never know, but it is sunday and it is a good moment to watch a bit of good tennis previous to the football match.
