Christmas?

Before, I liked Christmas a lot. Now most of illusion has disappeared.  I cannot stand the dinners with all my family because of their politic conversations within sense or their racist, sexist and homophobic comments. I am completely different from them and they are from me. Furthermore, the three wise men are not what I thought. It is only another story invented by the capitalism. Anyway, I cannot enjoy any time. Why? Because we have a horrible education system with exams just after Christmas. We not only have to work during the term time, we have to do it when we could enjoy our family and friends in holidays too.

Lottery

To win the lottery has to be a strange experience. People nerves usually are on edge when they are waiting for lottery results. I guess that if I had in this situation I would be like them and if I hit the jackpot prize I am sure that I would burst into tears. I would be completely in sock but when I could be recovered I would do three different things with the money.

I think that first of all I would do the best that everybody should do. I would save some money in a bank account that I would use only if I really needed and the rest in different accounts to take it out when I wanted. I could feel safer when this objective were done.

At second place money would be pouring in different business. Therefore, I’d get a lot of profits thanks to them. I’d have more money than before so then I could do the third process with which I’d help people. I’d build differences centres where people of all social status, until the neediest, could work and get their own money. Furthermore, I’d donate all as possible to some charities.

In my opinion, lottery is deserved for people who need the money or for people who will do good thing with it. For example, I don’t need too many money and I don’t mind to give it. Nevertheless, there are people who only want more and more money and they spend all they can in ridicules stuffs that they don’t need. They become more and more ambitious. It is complicated to win the lottery because no one knows how they could react.

Yesterday I voted for the first time and I was a representative in the name of IU, it was a long day in which I do not lose hope in spite of the fatigue. The most important is that I have had a big experience.

I also realise that Spain do not change, people continues still with their same closed idea. They have loosen some votes, right, but the bipartisanship still wins.

I do not lose my illusion, IU has faced great difficulties in the election campaign, they have not been permitted participating in discussions, they have been put their heel against at every step...opposite this, they have gone ahead and they have created a marvellous campaign whose results have been thousand votes. However, because of a unjust electoral law based on Law d’Hondt and the constituency, they have not been leaven as participation in the congress as the real voted they obtained.

  Even so, Garzón said that he did not give up, he is going to continue the fight for a new country. And I, as a another Garzoners, am neither not going to give up.

Now, the whole country is expectant about the future, we are waiting the ‘what will happen’ after to the final results.

We cannot blow at the fire flame of the candle.

Tower Bridge

In the top ten of the most famous bridges around the world, we can find this England’s icon called ‘Tower Bridge’. This is located over the River Thames. It is such as giant that it has a length of 244 metres. It was necessary 11,000 tons of steel for the construction which was started in 1884 and designed by Jhon Wolfe Barry who was an associate of the City Architect, Horace Jones, in this project.

At that time, there were a port near this area and therefore a lot more boats plied this river than now. Furthermore, people who lived there, lost one unnecessary hour to make a detour if they wanted to go out. For this reason, the City of London Corporation decided acting. They had to looking for the way to make a bridge and not stop boats’ traffic. Finally, it was taken the idea of a bascule bridge.

They sunk two piers into the river with a distance of 61 metres and the two bascules were built between them. The mechanism for raising the bridge worked with hydraulic energy but now it is used petrol and electricity. That first operation next to the first possible plans of the bridge which weren’t used stay in a small exhibition inside it.

It counts with a side for cars and another for walkers. Moreover, there are some snacks shops. When a boat is approaching, the bridge only needs a minute to raise. A few years ago, it was painting in blue for offering a good image in the Olympic Games. 

2011

Now the burden of exams is beginning and I can not dance, which I like. I can almost not breathe, it spends too much time. ¿And my friends? I can not meet them, I need them. I'm already being dramatic.

Actually, I find exciting this stage, my first exam time at the university,  and moreover studying what I want. I complain a lot, it is right, but I enjoy it (except the part of geography).

The best of all will be that I will see the breaking down more than one time, maybe from the window, maybe from a park with a blanket if I feel like it.

I will go to walk, I will do the crazy in my room with music rather high and I will paint my lips at every opportunity.

I request people to love me equal with my eyes bags and my nervous, to give me affectation even in the distance to make me everything more bearable.

Oh, yes, I have my hair cut again, it was time! It is still too long for my pleasure.

My hair cut

Origin of oscars and Will Smith

The origin of Oscars was in 1927 when a Louis B. Mayer had the idea of celebrating a simple ceremony to made cinema industry better. Two years later, Douglas Fairbanks, the first president, received the people. Nowadays, the secrets ratings can’t announce the winners until the ceremony but before, the day of the gala everyone knew them. It is believe that the statue of the Oscars represented the uncle of Margaret Herrick. How when the first ceremony was celebrated the films have just started to have sound, it wasn’t permitted to give them any prizes.

The first prize for the best official film was going to Allas, directed by William Wellman. Furthermore, Charles Chaplin was given a special honorary award although he was nominated for most of categories.

Along the time it was added different representative things such as the red-carped.

Personally, Will Smith is one of the best actors I have ever seen. He started being a little rapper getting even a Grammy award until he starred the TV series “The prince of Bel-Air”. This series has been known around the world not only in the moment of its released but also nowadays. Later, he made his first film and since then he has been the starred in a lot of the most famous films. He have also produced his own films. He was divorced two times and now he is married with Jada Pinkett. He has three children, he have acted with one of them in two of his films. Some of my favourite films of him are Men in Black, I robot and I am legend because they have a lot of action, feelings and learning.

The pupose of education

Education has the objective of forming people minds since they were born until the rest of their lives.  There are two kinds of education, one which leaves us free and another that is the opposite. Now, technologies have been involucrate in education because of its strong advance.  For this reason, the investment in education has to be major although it will be profitable. The objective of education is the future of today.

People, who have not the same minds, do not educate in the same way.  Some of them think that education serves to be yourself , to develop your imagination, to leave out your creativity, to find your own way and to follow it. But there are still people who only want to have controlled minds. There are a kind of education which is too several and strict. This makes you follow only the way that suit educators or which they have been ordered to be the best way. Thus, you will have an only idea of the life, you will obey and will agree with everything that they tell. It does not permit think by yourself or liberate it, creating slaves of the system.

The last years, we have been educated with technologies. Technology has improved a lot and at the same time it has increased its use by all the world. It has been a good input for science because it has been possible a better advanced in the researches thanks to it. Moreover, we have a better life style since technologies started to be used in our routine, such as the plumbing  in our houses. It also permits everyone to be communicated and exchanged information between them. On Internet you can found all the information as possible. It is as a library which you can use everywhere. The problem is that if you are using Interned for educating it should be necessary a type of guide to use it or you were losing, so educators should indicate the instruction of the search. In general, it does not mind what you use to educate, technology serves too.

On the other hand, if we want that technology continues advancing, it is necessary to invest the most quantity of money the better in education because they would not be investing in some simple children, for calling them of some way, they would be investing in the future.  These children will grow up and they will take place in the jobs that carry forward the world.  Not only will developed the technology but also the different kinds of arts: music, painting, photograph... Investment in education worthwhile for having a well secured future.

                In conclusion, only one of the two kinds of education can be favourable and whether they continue using technologies with comfort thanks to the economic aid, they will create the future.  Education is the most powerful weapon that you can use to change the world.

It is amazing how a person can be marked so hard in your life. It doesn’t mind how much time passes, but that person will always be important. You need their memories to smile, their presence to laugh and their future to dream.

Maybe, the word is not exactly ‘need’ because we can continue living without that person, it is only that we are happier when they are present.

Not too many people get this position in the life of someone but when they get it, it is possible that they doesn’t realize about that.

It could be that we are being this person for someone at this moment. We should be aware of it because everyone is it.

zoos

I totally disagree zoos’ existence. I really like people who have conservation ideas. I think that we have to do everything we can to protect species which are facing extinctions but there aren’t necessary zoos. I see good to have some centres where animals could be cured if they have suffered damage due to poachers. It is also good keep control of these endangered species. We have to watch they are reproducing and we can do it from their same habitats. They are wild animals who have to live with all freedom as possible. They can’t stay locked inside a cage of some metres. If you look at their faces, it is appreciated their sad expressions. They could be happier in liberty.

In my opinion, the worst case is that of arctic animals. They need certain temperature and they’ve got usually the sea to swim at will. Although zoos try to have a low temperature in these areas with a little a small lagoon, it’s not the same. Furthermore, on this way, they can’t fend for themselves because animal handlers give them the food so they can’t be wild. People often also do shows with the animals which ridicule them. I know that sometime animals are even drugged. I dream with exist some secret animal protection charity which unlocked the cages of the zoos.

I can make an exception with household pets because they really need us to be better. But they have to have their big side too. It’s not okay have pets tied. Above all, we must treat them with the care and love they deserve. Animals in farms are also good because they provide us food if they are in good condition. I can’t accept slaughter houses, they are too cruel. All the animal kingdom deserves our respect.

I)                    Space debris has been found for years in different places. It can be dangerous for people because they fall from the sky. This means that there are a lot of pollution in the space. Although they could serves to researches.

18

I’m eighteen now and fear is bigger that before.

Fear to grow up and to pass life.

Fear to be obligated to mature, to have responsibilities and to be an adult.

I was recently celebrating my birthday in class with my eight friends in the kindergarten, my birthday in the primary education with clowns blowing up balloons and my many friends scurrying up and down, my birthday in the secondary education with my little group of friend enjoying themselves.

And now I’m already in the university and I have celebrated my adulthood. Everything have been the blink of an eye, a video on fast forward, the blowing of a candle.

The cronos which was imposed by us at some time, is also our anguish sometimes. It was said by the existentialists.

We should be more Nietzscheans and not follow a time, we should stop drowning.

Simple Plan

Simple Plan is a pop-punk band from Quebec, Canada which was formed in 1999. The members are Pierre Bouvier, Jeff Stinco, Sébastien Lefebvre, David Desrosiers and Chuck Comeau.  Simple Plan has sold more than 7 millions of discs of their first three albums.

In the beginning, some of the members formed a band called Reset, they have almost no fame, although they tried to sing with other bands to release it. As they saw no future, they separated. A few years later, they were joined again but they made some changes with the members. In this way Simple Plan formed.

Simple Plan debuted with the album ‘No Pads, No Helmets... Just Balls’ in 2002 which they conquered half the world lists and they won double platinum plaques. The music was aimed at young people and teenagers.  In less than a year, the band visited five continents and they played in more than 300 shows. They also won a gold plaque in Canada and Japan. A lot of fans started to follow the group, and they could appear in a famous TV program.

In 2004, they released their second album called ‘Still Not Getting Any...’ with their famous single ‘Welcome to my life’ known around the world. The album won a platinum plaque. The reasons of the album’s name were that they weren’t getting good reviews and they weren’t getting enough respect. In this album, Simple Plan showed a dramatic style change. The style was rather rock and not punk. In this year, they started a job to young people and children who had problems with drugs, suicides, poverty...

Four years and a half later, in 2008, ‘Simple Plan’ their third album was released.  The single ‘When I’m gone’ got the 26 place in United Kingdom’s music list. They made a world tour and they made a large amount of concerts and festivals. In Quebec they made free concerts where millions of fans went. This album was in the top 10 and top 5 in a half of the world.

Their last album is called ‘Get Your Heart On!’ it was introduced in 2011. The band team up with different compositors. There are different versions of the single ‘Jet Lag’: in French, Japanese and the English original.  That is the opposite of their previous albums, it is an electrifying return to the vitality of their first two albums. The band has made two big tours. A throughout this tour we could appreciate the proximity of this band with the fans. Finally, they ended their tour in Spain, offering two shows which were attended by more than 10 000 fans where the song ‘Summer Paradise’ is the most famous.

Their next tour will be around Europe and I think that it will be a great success. 

Suicidal people

Nowadays, there are a lot of people who try to end their lives. To avoid the suicidal people could be easier than it seems. If someone has problems, one of the solutions is to go to see a psychologist although it is something that not everybody can pay. Therefore, the prices for consulting a psychologist should be cheaper or even free. Thus, everyone could have access to go there and to be helped. If someone is ready to jump, we should remember him that no one is completely happy but we have to continue our lives and try to do the best as possible. Nothing is needed to be happy.

A jumper.

A man has lost his job and his wife want to let him so he has decide jumping for ending his life. Some men are trying to make him change this idea but they aren’t getting it.

He was about to jump when suddenly, a man whose clothes were completely black appeared on the edge of windows. The jumper winced.

Who are you? –He asked.

It isn’t the question. –Started to say the strange man –The question is why are you trying to call the attention of everyone? Do I have to guess that you are committing suicide? No, it can’t be possible. If you really want to end your life, you will do it in private. What do you want then? –he continued speaking while the jumper was listening dumbfounded –Ow, I know. You want someone to tell you that your life isn’t so bad, right? Someone who convinces you not to jump because life is wonderful.  You are wrong then. Your life is a shit, it is a big shit.

When the jumper heard the last sentence, he looked down.

Yes, jump if you really want –the man in black tempted him.

I want –the jumper asked.

Yes, I am sure. Common! –he insisted.

  The brave man looked down again.

You won’t do it –the man continued. –You are too afraid. You don’t want to die so don’t be silly. You are the only person who could make a new life. Life is a shit but each person has something to live although it is a little reason. Look at him –he said shown a boy on the floor. –He neither has job or wife like you and he is alive.  Look at that girl with her daughter. They have a little to eat and they are alive. What do you like to do in you life? Jump if you want, it is your choice –he finally said before disappearing.

And well? –inside the room the police man asked while the man in black abandoned the room.

Ten second later the jumper entered through the window and all the people ran to catch him.

Thus, some years later, this man had formed an international restaurant chain. Furthermore, he had made different soup kitchen and business to advise people to find a job.

Poverty

Poverty is a problem what is getting bigger and bigger. Undeveloped countries are immersed in poverty because of a certain group of rich people take advantage of others. However, poverty is spreading throughout the developed world. There are a lot of people who can’t have lunch because they can’t buy or others can’t even pay a house. This is especially due to the lack of jobs. Many people can’t work despite they look for it everywhere. More and more families have been evicted from their home, therefore they are living illegally in houses which are abandoned, in ONG’s centres or in the streets. For these circumstances, some people die for hypothermia or starvation everyday. This increase has to stop.

It is true that poverty is a big problem. I think they should try to help homeless people and give them at least a house because there are lots of empty houses which the banks owe. Also, the citizens could help them giving them some food to eat and a place to have a shower if they don’t have a house. They could also dedicate some of the tax’s money to help them and buy food.

It is time to fight!

I’m here to serve everyone who need help in the fight as long as it is inside my ideals.

And this is the reason for I get up for everyone who can’t do it, I put my hand up for every injustices which are lived every day, I shout loud to can have the rights which are for us, I fight for my liberty, yours and everyone’s.

Some people think this is an useless fight but I think that even a little group can change the world because this group get illustrate at the rest and thus, together, we win all we deserve. 

Opinion about a fix salary

To have a fix salary for everyone is not completely correct. I think that the clerk of a store should earn less money than a labourer. The amount of a salary has to be connected according to the weekly hours, the hard work, qualifications, etc. However, the differences between the salaries should be minimal. If some people’s salaries are too higher than others, it will produce social classes such as we have now. What it has to be insured is the right to work for everyone or a pension for old age, in case of illness and loss of work capacity. Everyone has to have food and a ceiling under living because it is a human right. Therefore, to have a fix salary isn’t quite right but it is good to secure a job.

Comparative paragraph

The style of Johnny Rotten and Rostropovich is very different. On the one hand, Johnny’s music is punk so he is noisier. When you look at him or anyone in his group, called Sex Pistols, their clothes call the attention as well as their hairs because these aren’t normally seen, these are peculiar. Their fans usually shout in their concerts and they are young people. On the other hand, Rostropovich plays classical music with the sweet sound of his cello. He looks like an elegant and serious person because of his clothes and face. His public is calm and quiet. Although their style doesn’t express the same feelings, both of them are good musicians. 

Nostalgia.

Nostalgia. I feel it.

Nostalgia for what won’t return.

Miserable memories that I hold.

And I hug myself, I hug myself strongly while they are wandering through my mind.

I smile imagining them at the same time I sob. I miss them a lot.

Why did they not come back?

Why are they not repeated?

Why can they not being alive?

Why do they have to be a group of frozen images in the past?

It is frustrating to know they stayed there.

Memories.

Those which kill me so many times and so many others raise me.

I try to avoid them.

I just want to live.

Am I the only one who they pursue?

Nostalgia. It is what I feel when I look at the universe.

And immersed in the dark, what I feel? Nostalgia.

Nostalgia. Eso siento.

Nostalgia por aquello que no volverá.

Míseros recuerdos a los que me aferro.

Y me abrazo, me abrazo fuerte mientras se pasean por mi mente.

Sonrío imaginándolos a la vez que sollozo. Cuánto los extraño.

¿Por qué no regresan?

¿Por qué no se repiten?

¿Por qué no pueden seguir vivos?

¿Por qué tienen que ser una serie de imágenes congeladas del pasado?

Es algo frustrante saber que se quedarán ahí.

Recuerdos.

Aquellos que tantas veces me matan y tantas otras me resucitan.

Trato de evitarlos.

Sólo quiero vivir.

¿Soy la única a la que persiguen?

Nostalgia es lo que siento cuando miro al universo.

¿E inmersa en la oscuridad qué siento? Nostalgia.

Last Wednesday I went to a feminist meeting. People are preparing the protest about gender violence which will be celebrated the next eight of November in Madrid. There, they spoke about the buses which can go from the whole region and how can they make money for helping people to pay the travel if they can’t. The principal objective is to gather as many people as possible because together we can end the abuse. Too many women die at the hands of men everyday. It is a difficult fight but little by little we will get it so I encourage people to go and to help in the projects.

Description

Pablo is one of my admired people and moreover he is a good friend. He has green eyes and although he is eighteen, he has no beard. He can look like a simple person who likes going out and having a good time, but when you really know him, you realise that he is wonderful. He has his ideas clear. He knows what he wants and always tries to get it. He is very affective with everyone and his hugs are the best in the world. He is such a good person that he fights for all injustices he watches. He helps everyone who requires his help. I think that nobody hates him. Definitely, worth knowing him. 

Guernica.

Guernica from Pablo Picasso make me feel sadness. When I look at this image I can experience the same feelings that people in this attack. I can feel the destruction that they experienced. I can feel all the misfortunes that they suffered due to people who wanted power and had a thought of slavery. I can appreciate the pain in the expressions of their faces. It is perceives how they are broken inside, not only outside. I can see the tears of a mother who has lost her baby. She begs mercy. I perceive the fortress that they had to have. And nevertheless, they always had a flame of hope.

Paradise.

The other day one of my best friends rang the bell of my house. I had not seen him for two weeks. We were walking into the countryside. We visited our favourite place which I discovered this summer by chance. There are palms everywhere and a little side with green trees. I like it because there I can breathe freedom. I feel far away from world pollution despite of that fact that civilization is less than ten minutes. This summer I went there when I needed to relax myself. Sometimes I sat on the sand and read. One morning, very early, I could see some rabbits running. It is awesome to listen the singing of the birds while they flit.

Fear of not being who I am.
Fear of world injustices.
Fear of not fighting for my ideals.
Fear of not learning.

Fear of breaking my heart.
Fear of loosing important people to me.
Fear of taking a bus and not coming back.
I've said that.

First week

        The last day in the practice class, we were doing different exercises. Everyone was a bit lost about how to do that at the beginning but after a while, our imagination flowed and we could understand its use.

        I think that the three activities are necessary to learn doing a good redaction without problems. This way, words will come out by themselves little by little. Now, we are waking up our head.

        It is a great help to people who find difficult to think while writing, like me. There are a lot of students who have a perfect imagination or simply they have more practice. This isn’t my situation.
