Written project. First version.

Laura Catalina Arias Barragรกn

Books have what it takes to enrich and fulfill everyone’s life. First of all, books create new worlds that improve the readers’ imagination.

Subsequently, reading allows people to relief stress caused by every day’s issues. Additionally, readers develop several abilities such as patience, concentration and organization. Furthermore, reading improves the analytical skills, the writing skills and all sort of language abilities. In conclusion, books provide lots of information about several subjects and topics at the same time, making the process of reading much more substantial yet entertaining.

I intend to use money in the most satisfying way possible according to my needs but also to my dreams. To begin with, I aim to have one or two jobs in my fields, so my salary allows me to save some money while having enough to live well and to give my family and myself some treats once in a while.

Then, I mean to use the savings to travel, since I believe the real treasure of life are the experiences we live and not the material possessions we own.

Afterwards, I would keep on living the same way, but with the intention of using the savings to have a house in order to have some roots for my older days. At length, I expect to have a beautiful library and collection of movies and music in my house as a result of all the treats I have given myself.

At the end, I will have everything I need for a good retirement, as well as the satisfaction of having lived my life at its best.

For all those admirers of Peter Hayes’ talent, you are recommended to listen not only to his main band, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, but also to his former band —which has also influenced B.R.M.C— , The Brian Jonestown Massacre, in which he played for the Give it Back!

Album from 1997. Both Peter Hayes bands come from San Francisco, California, and they are huge representatives of the Indie-Rock scene from The United States. The Brian Jonestown Massacre was funded in the early 90’s and they have been characterized by the experimentation with several sub genres and sounds. Similarly, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club was also created in the 90’s and they as well have experimented with certain sounds, most of those which can be heard in their album The Effects of the 333 from 2008. Like The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club has had its influences in Rock n Roll, Psychedelic Rock, Shoegazing and Country, and just like them, they also remain as an underground band for most people.

But let’s not think that we are talking about overly similar bands. Even though they share the characteristics mentioned previously, The Brian Jonestown Massacre has had a wider career and a lot more albums, while Black Rebel Motorcycle Club has Black Rebel Motorcycle Club had less albums but has gained more popularity worldwide. Also, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club has been more constant in their members (they have only changed a drummer once) and they have remained as a trio, whereas The Brian Jonestown Massacre has had several changes of members during their recordings, making their sound more mutable and experimental album after album. Finally, let’s not forget that, however Black Rebel Motorcycle Club tends to make use of other genres like Gospel, Blues and Folk, The Brian Jonestown Massacre The Brian Jonestown Massacre uses these as well as Post-Punk, Noise Rock, Ethereal Wave and Ambient, among others. All in all, amuse yourself with both bands and enjoy the particularities each one can offer to your life.

24A- 30 Street, Esperanza Avenue Bogotรก, Colombia February 26, 2015 Hotel Holiday Inn, 26 Avenue Bogotรก, Colombia To whom it may concern:

I write this complaint to inform that for several months I have seen leftovers of trash at the side of the hotel, specifically in front of the Banco Popular. These remains are not only affecting the appearance and prestige of the hotel and the neighborhood in general, but they also produce a pervading smell that can be perceived from the surrounding blocks. This situation worries the community also because, at length, this can become a health threat.

I ask you to be more careful with the disposal of the garbage of the hotel, as well as the cleaning after the recyclers have finished their job and the trash cans have been picked up by the trucks. The community will be grateful for your cooperation and the hotel will become a sign of pride for the neighbors and an example for other hotels and buildings from the zone. I thank you in advance in name of the neighborhood.

Cordially, Laura Catalina Arias

Ms. Arias I am Camila Gonzalez, Holiday’s Inn Manager. We already know about the problem with the garbage. We have some troubles with the recyclers because they said that when the trash is outside, it belongs to anyone. To fix this problem with our garbage, we will hire an employee that would be the person in charge of controlling the sanity as well as keeping this site clean and fresh.

Please receive our apologies and we, as the best hotel in the area, thank your desire to keep our neighborhood beautiful and peaceful.

Cordially
