Ten Years Time

Hello everybody, I have been questioning this topic for over and over again I have to say that I don't know it yet but I'm gonna try to imagine something for this work.
In my thirdties I probably will be here in Santiago because I like that here concentrates so many cultural things ( and among them, music of course). I think that I will be teaching music in some school and hopefully doing particular classes of jazz. I will be sharing my life with my couple and have two kids. The achievements that I will have done are: finished my career ( musical theory), got married and known very good the principles of jazz music and I was forgotten... Won the soccer championship of the university with my team ( art's faculty). I don't see very much changes for ten years later... My girlfriend told me that U.S.A will be not anymore the top economic country and China will took his place ( but this will happen like 30 years more). To my concern I think that most of the things will be like now, the feelings are gonna be the same, the rich and the poor, politics. The only thing that I'm sure is that I will get a gray in my hair and Simon will be playing a Beatle's song in some place of the world jaja. Bye

Nicanor Parra visual artefacts


To be honest, I don't have culture in visual arts like painting, sculptures and others but thinking in what to choose I remembered Nicanor Parra visual artefacts that I saw in a movie about him. I don't know if this visual artefact has a name, "Voy y vuelvo" is part of the presentation. I saw it like one or two years ago in the documental movie called "Retrato de un antipoeta" in Normandie cinema. I have read a book of Anti-poetry and some of the "anti-poems" liked me very much. Then when the movie came out I felt curiosity about Nicanor Parra and went to see it. Well, this particular visual artefact first made me laugh, it's the type of things that attract me. It's like a smart joke that isn't normal to anyone see it. He saw the "joke" (joke for me) in a place that no one saw it. And plus this I think that Nicanor is brave to do it, because so many people see the church as something intouchable. Hope don't get no one offended but that's not my problem or Nicanor's problem. I think that is good mainly because it is totally original and ingenious.

Ludo

 




Hi again. I think that I didn't play very often board games but remember a few: monopoly, a game that consisted in destroy the enemy ship ( for only two players) and ludo, the one that I'm gonna expose now. I began to play it around 5 years old and my aunt taught me. I think that she always let me win because I was too envious. The aim of the game was win. Great conclusion. And the way to win was to finish first doing a full lap and go to the center of the table with all the pieces that one have. The top of players are four in a game and each one have four piece. You have to throw a dice and that tells you how many steps your pieces must do. When a piece falls in the same place of a opponent's piece, that's piece (opponent) must start all over again the lap. Like I said at the beginning I played with my aunt and sometimes with my brothers ( we are four). I enjoyed the game for the only reason to "eat" the pieces of my opponents and they get angry. Well, that's all. Bye!

Fight Club

Hi everybody, today i'm gonna talk you about a book that I enjoyed, it's called Fight Club written by Chuck Palahniuk in 1996. I read it because I saw the movie of the book that was very popular when it came to the cinemas and I liked very much. The mainly actors in the movie are Edward Norton, Brad Pitt and Helena Bonham.
       The book was about a normal person that started feeling bored about his way of life, his job and his likes. He was dissapointed about the consumist that he was and how he managed his life. Then he meet a guy called Tayler Durden who was the opposite of him ( to whom he admire). They founded the Fight Club, a club that work like a therapy for men to better oneself and get over from the ordinary life, experiencies that they had day by day. The thing that happens is that the club was gaining members over all the state and they had a project to change or destroy the society like we know it. Later the protagonist (the normal person of the beggining) and Tayler Durden are the same person. He develop a personality disorder that did grow the character of Tayler Durden. It's very confusing... To understand it good and to know the final, go watch it or read it  :).
       I enjoyed it because it is a good criticism about our society and it maked me think about many things.
