On a concert

As I mentioned some time ago, I play the bass guitar and some other musical instruments. For this reason I have many friends who also play musical instruments or sing: yesterday a few of them played a concert in a  music club in Poznań 'Pod Minogą'. It is always a nice experience to watch your friends perform on a stage and create something altogether new. Composing music is not an easy thing and, being myself a musician, I appreciate the enormous amount of work they have done and I can easily imagine all the difficulties they have had to face.
Coming directly to the point, two bands from Poznań have taken part in a gig: Headwind and Sunstripes. Both of them are rock bands but the music played by Headwind may be definied as heavy metal and the genre of music created by Sunstripes is alternative rock. As you can guess, the gig was very loud and there was no space for delicate vocals or gentle guitar playing. I must admit I am not the biggest fan of this kind of music but, as I said before, I have had a really great time watching my friends play and enjoying their public. Anyway, I finally had an occasion to reunite with some of my friends I haven't seen for a long time.
I put a link to my Instagram account where you can watch a fragment of Sunstripes gig:

Sky Walk

Hello!
Recently I have been to a very special place called Stezka w oblacich (in english Sky Walk) which is a lookout point situated in Lower Morava in Czech Republic. The construction is all made of wood and metal and reaches the hight of 1171m above sea level (being located on a 1116m high hill). From my experience, it's best to visit this place during the spring or the summer. As I have been there in the november, the weather was rather harsh: there was a strong, cold wind. Even though, the wievs were still beautiful: at least the fog wasn't very dense so we could admire the Lower Morava Valley without any obstacles. I would certainly recommend this place to those who love the mountains but do not have enought willpower to reach the top of a mountain: the Sky Walk is easily accessible; there is a cable railway leading directly to the hilltop.

My master's thesis

Hello!
Today I would like to tell about my master's thesis subject as, in my opinion, it is a very unusual thing. The tittle reads as follow: 'Language of videogamers'. I have chosen this subject because videogaming is my hobby; especially when I was younger I used to play a lot - now I have less time that I could dedicate for it.

In this work I would like to analyze the way of speaking and writing of people who play videogames, such as League of Legends, Warcraft, etc. In summary, I will describe the mecanics of games I am taking into consideration, make a transcription of some videos on Youtube showing people playing these games in multiplayer mode, analyze articles written by videogamers about gaming strategies, giving advices for begginers and reviewing new games on market, and much more.

Obviously, the work will be all written in Italian and, what is more, will concern the language of videogamers coming from Italy.

There is a lot of things to do, and being honest, I haven't started yet. I hope to have my masters thesis's discussion in June or July. Wish me luck! :-)
