kind of,how to use this expression

I´d like try to understand better this expression and write examples:

 

Recently I listened this:

I kind of want to spend some time by myself

 

What more about this with "kind of"?

Today Spanish News I saw this in the news today: "Twenty five per cent of Spanish people, think that sun moves around the earth" what the hell is this! I diden't know if laugh or shoot myself with a gun it's truly amazing. We have statistical evidences related to "the high level of our students skills" and similar opinions from our politics, we are used to read things in this way, and really all this is a big lie. You cant get in the way of yourself, politics want you for make of you a redneck. I'd like to say something to Spanish students: Get moving! Awake! This is not Disney World!

Spain I dont know what to say about Spain, the first thing that comes to my mind at this moment could be relationed to our way of being, envy is one of our characteristics, I dont like say this but our best and more cualificated people have had to leave this country, it semms incredible but many years ago our most important writers, artists and philosophers have given rise to much debate about this. One of the most important was Mr.Ortega y Gassett, well known by his famous book called "La españa invertebrada" (spineless Spain) In this great book he explains our worst nightmares.I could summarize the main ideas wich are given in this book: 1-In this country (I dont know how to say this exactly) "everyone by themselves",consequently all is a disaster. 2-Absence of best people (refered to qualifield people that can manage and do the best for society) I feel specially sad when I review our history remembering our writters,pinters,musicians,poets, for example Federico García Lorca,one of our universal poets was killed, also with Miguel Hernandez, Antonio Machado and many others. Our best musicians like Manuel de Falla (friend of García Lorca) had to leave Spain searching a new life in Argentina afterward a wonderfull music carrer out of Spain in Europe. Today,all this, all this cultural legacy is practically forgotten by spanish people,such an extreme that our cultura are best know outside our borders.

Enjoy New York (3) During my stay in NY I took advantage of every oppotunity that cames my way.As a musician,it was necessary for me see a typical "Broadway musical" I knew several ones,and I decided get tickets for "West Side History" written by Leonard Berstein,it´s a master piece of music,! it was really fantastic! but I wanted see something new in this way,i had many different suggestions from friends,one of them was the chance to see "the Lion King" but..from my point of view this musical was always for my cheese,so I decided to try myself luck and I got tickets for "Wicked". I was completly surprised,I had no words,!this music is a work of slick! wonderfull,amazing,cool far out! I recommend it to anyone see this musical, I realised later that this music was written by Stephen Schwartz, one of my best, Really was a cool experience

Enjoy New York (2) You can see a lot of things in NY and more if you are going to spend several months as it was in my case. One of the things you can do one day is walk a long way from Columbus square to the south of Manhattan,once there you can get the ferry to Long Island and come back later at nightfall, you will see a very nice landscape with the glare of city lights a very romantic and magic scene, specially if you are in love. You can spend the whole day for do this,but it pays off. One of the things I was struck with,along these lines I was writting about love was a pretty and nice Japan girl I saw in Chinatown working in a barber's deep down I have to admit that I falled in love with her ..a little! so I decided open de door and cut my hair,but there was a lot of people wainting and I only could speak with her a few minutes,really I diden't know what say to her,and was talking nonsense about my hair , If I could buy a snake oil and similar products,so she told me: "why do you want a snake oil? you have a lot of hair do you still want more? so people begun to laugh, was ridiculous! I thought that was the moment for getting out there,I was so ashmed I couldnt look her in the eyes,and I said: bye! Few minutes later walking by street I found a Buddhist temple, there was a guy in front the door staring me and he told me: " Don't smoke man" ,I told him why I was in the street,and he told me "keep your life bro" ,while I was still thinking about Japanese girl I remember that I told him "life is karmekly wrong"

Enjoy New York! When I was visiting New York City three years ago I could make friends and know whole a lot of things in relation to American cultura. Manhattan is really pretty hip,I was struck with the skyline, and Brooklin bridge, one of the typical and clasic view in the movies. A friend of mine was living there, I only had to pay the flight and I went decided to take advantage as much as possible during six months. The first thing I could see and enjoy (once I leave the airport ) was amazing,I was in a Taxi and I notice that was a music sorroanding far away, but we were to this directon and finally we arrived to a large square, in wich there was a Symphonic real performance out off doors. My curiosity had tell to the taxi driver: please can you drop me off just here? I could listen the orchestra while I was walking ,they was playing E.T soundtrack I caught a glimps of something similar a screen while I was almost getting close and yes, there was a lot of people there seeing E.T with original living music performance completly free, without buying tickets, an experience that really pays off. That was my first day in NY.

American Composers,film music and more There are a large and strong musical tradition in Unite States,overall in relation with classical music and important Symphonic Orchestras and High Schools well known by all,as Julliard school or New England Conservatory with many important others.Symphonic tradition and different musical influences from Jazz,popular music and european music have done of this Country something original and probably never seen before for me since I was very young and begun to study music. I had the opportunity to listen whole a lot of american music,from Gerswin,Barber,Leonard Berstein,William Shumman and many others that were fellows and pupils of Shoemberg.Many people think that this music is "like nails chalk on a wall" but depends what composer, people have to know that behind the scenes of a lot of films,are really a great soundtrack,a genius like John williams or Jerry Goldsmith,composers with a strong background and knowledge,thing that unfortunely today is difficult to see with so music made with computers and virtual instruments,deep down worst that twenty years ago at least,it is clear for me that music we can listen today in films have a very low quality if we compare with westerns films and great masters as Alfred Newman Jerome Morros Elmer Berstein,all this " soundtrack concept" was essential for the following generation of composers I mentioned before and we know well by films like Star Wars ,and a lot more
