SUMMER IS HERE....

Since I was a child of 12 years old I have never had a summer with 2 or 3 months holidays because I have played football and started training so soon. But this summer will be my summer! I said in another post that one important point in life is to have different experiences and this summer will be full of them. Disco, parties, people, traveling, job, music, sport, relaxing, beach, jumping from a plane in Empuriabrava, etc…

All of these will be exiting and this will prepare me for university.

After “batxillerat” (the most difficult thing I have ever do) I feel free and ready for new goals.

This is my summer, this is it, this is all, this is life!!!

30 SECONDS TO MARS

I have never spoken about my favorite music group called 30 Seconds to Mars in this blog. But it’s time to do it.

30 Seconds to Mars is a rock band from Los Angeles (USA) and they started in 1998. Their members are Tomo Milicevic (piano and guitar), Shannon Leto (drums) and his little brother Jared Leto (guitar and singer).

Jared Leto is a famous name in Hollywood because before he sang he was an actor in some films like Fight Club, Alexander, Mr. Nobody, etc. But he decided to turn up with new look, new style and new job as a singer. He’s an artist. He sings, composes the songs and designs the covers of 30stm’s CDs.

I love his music because it helps me a lot when I’m sad. Their lyrics are strong, powerful and shockingly true. Jared’s voice is also different from the others, because he has a peculiar scream and melody. Moreover his music has changed because at first they were a heavy-evil band and now he has a more music records. (Now he change his music in the last CD called This is War and I told you that it’s awesome).

Jared, Shannon and Tomo are 30seconds to mars, my favorite group, a group from another planet, the best band.

¿Is it really necessary to study today?

Two years ago a big crisis destroyed our system and a lot of people came up against being on the dole. This happening has made me go over our society from other points of view and cut out all those things that people accept like fools. One example of this is working in some job that you are sure that they will pay you and you aren’t worried about if it makes you happy or not: “it’s just a job, it’s just money” it’s sad. But I think about other options following Nietzsche’s steps I agree with that point of view that says “If you want a lot of happiness you have accept a lot of sadness”.

People study nowadays because they want to find stability in the future, and just follow the easy way: studyjob. But I’m looking for different life. I don’t need a house, a car, etc. If you think about what you really need, the real truth is that you just need food.

There are thousands of ways to get happiness, but we need to accept the sadness in our lives. Follow your feelings and not only the social conventions.

BOOK: David Copperfield

I have been reading this book and I decided to do it because this Dicken’s novel was and is so famous (D. Copperfield the magician has nothing to do with this book).

When I stared it I thought that it would be like Oliver Twist, who was an orphan and his life was horrible, but no. This story is more romantic, more realistic, the typical person from those times. Maybe there are some parts parallel to history and some characters typical from novel: characters like the evil Mr. Heep, the lawyer.

David has different problems and difficulties like, working like a “slave when he was a child, running away from home, a new school, learning a job, folling in out of love. However finally he wins the true love of his bestfriend Agnes.

I recommended this book to everyone, if you read it you will grow up following David’s steps!

¿Osama death or alive?

Today the most waited news from the USA people becomes a reality, Osama Bin Laden has been killed in Pakistan.
Obama announced it today, day 2/5/2011. But there is a problem. Osama’s body hasn’t been seen and there isn’t proof this news is real. Why hasn’t the body gone to UUEE? Why aren’t there any photos? And where is the video? Is all this story true? Or is it just a plan of USA because the Islam war is becoming bigger and they can actue the military. Because remember that USA needs war to hold his economy, and with this new they can gain a lot of things like oil, money, weapons and a lot of power in the Arabian world.

JUDDI KRISHNAMURTI

One of my objectives with this blog is to exhibit new extraordinary people who the majority of us don’t know. One of the most shocking is a little old Indian called Krishnamurti.
When I listen to him it’s like angelic words, full of love words, like one of those minds that pass through his times and the story will be remembered in future generations. A radical change in humanity a mind with a message that I think people don’t understand yet.
He was on a beach when people from Theosophical Society saw something different from a single boy sitting and watching the other kinds playing football. That boy called Jiddu becomes a messiah for that society and he was educated in the best collages in India and England.
After university he travelled around the world talking about his message of peace and changed mind. A message that nowadays is difficult to accept because it is too pure for our mentality.

BOOKS

“Thus Spoke Zarathustra: a book for all and none” by F. Nietzsche

Nietzsche was one of the biggest genious of the las century, he designed a new modern moral far far away from religion. He pretends to change the world changing the moral of humanity. This work was too much for one man and finally Nietzsche went mad years before he was 50 years old.
I recommend his biggest work, a nice book colled “thus spoke Zarathustra” and Zarathustra is a ficticious part of Nietzsche. This book contains all his philosophy.

Basically this book talks about the death of God by men, the eternal recurrence, the “übermenssch”(superman) and the willpower.
His philosophies are focused on destroying the catholic compation and to build a new moral for humans. He wants strong men who follow his ideal and never falling into mediocrity. He pretends to overcome the men.

The Pritzker Architecture Prize:

Announcing the 2011 Laureate: Eduardo Souto de Moura (Portugal)

If you don’t know what the Pritzker prize is I will tell you that it’s the Nobel Prize of Architecture. People like: Oscar Niemeyer (1988), Tadao Ando (1995), Norman Foster (1999), Zaha Hadid (2004) or Jean Nouvel (2008) have won it. But this year the prize goes to Portugal, with Eduardo Souto de Moura.
Eduardo de Moura was born on Porto (Portugal) on July 25, 1952 and at 58 years of age he has won this prize, the biggest honor that an architect can have.
He has worked mainly in his native country, Portugal, basically in private house projects. All of us know about him since he designed the stadium of the Braga in 2004.
His architecture has a strong feeling with the forms and the context of the space. He used to play with wood, aluminium, and ceiling. All of it with minimalism style, because he always thinks that people will live in his buildings.

PERE GIFRE's art

www.gifre.com

He was born in Figueres in 1974 and he does ICONIK-ART.
His inspiration came from nature and with high-tech hardware he represents his ideas on the PC. After he has studied the structural part and all the engineering aspects. He does technological sculpture, and he’s in the vanguard of the new art.

Basically he represents the nature with sculpture after having gone through this nature on his computer and his structural concepts. Sculptures that take two years of hard work. Water, gases, movments, animals, explosions, etc. that is the amazing part of his work, because he represents that type of moments that the human eye cant’s see.

A good example is the amazing sculpture of a water splash from “La Expo de Zaragoza” or “Winds of Atlanta”, two big works of tones and twenty meters.

MY THEORY ABOUT HEAVEN AND HELL, WHY?

When children are bad, their parents talk about a strange man called bogeyman, who catches bad boys and puts them inside his bag. This bogyman is a technique used to prevent children from doing bad things. Well, when these children grow up and become adults the governments invent an idea of a God that can see them and all their bad actions and they will be judged by him at the end of their lives. This is the reason for religion.
At the end of religions hell doesn’t exist, this idea of hell started with the wars, because people who ran away from the battle or people who don’t help their “brothers” in the battle will be condemned with the most horrible of punishments.

Religions born to control the humanity and make people less animals. Religion was necessary but nowadays it’s time to be free and grow up together.

SPEAKING CORNER:

After speaking for an hour to Arunas and Visctor Rosillo in the speaking corner we talked about some topic:

Points of the dialoge:

- Victor Rosillo loves Justin Bieber!!

- GYM (good body) is important for summer!

- Arunas can't do push ups with one hand.

- Pep Esteve is the strongest in this group.

- Vistor pretends to be like CR7 (Cristiano Ronaldo), and Arunas like Victor Rosillo.

- All of us are caspers like the majority of the Spanish population.

- Arunas is the freakiest boy I have ever met!!!! (He doesn't know yet but he dances like an old robot).

- What could be done with these conclusions?

Concution:

We need to find a girlfriend!!!!

INDIVIDUAL COMENTS:

Myconclusion is that we serioulsy need a grildfrend because our minds are in danger of collapsing. We speak about GYM because maybe if we keep fit perhaps some girls will want to be our girldfrends.

¿Is St. Valentine’s day a commercial idea?

All of us know that companies used to create new holidays or parties focused only on the presents, Christmas has been changed from a religious day to a consumist day for example.

If I say: Christmas, St. Valentine, carnival, new year, etc. The first thing is go to a shop and buy something. And this conduct is influenced by the consumist mind of our education also influenced by the big companies.

I think that if I love somebody I don’t need a special day to buy a present to show my love. My view of life is so romantic and in my point of view plays with this feeling it’s the worst thing that a person can do, and when I listen something like this: “Oh, St. Valentine’s day, let’s go to buy something for my girlfriend”. I see that this person doesn’t show his feelings to his girl or that it’s stupid because he only shows these feelings when the society says that it is the time.

I hope that people will try to improve their feelings because nowadays people are so cold with all these topics of love.

Can you be romantic in the 21th. Century?

Can you be romantic in the 21th. Century?

Some months ago this question came into my head, and I thought strongly about this. I thought about my things and my acts, and finally I came to the conclusion that the answer was “yes” if you are prepared to suffer a lot of your dreaming about love. When I thought about this conclusion I realized that I was romantic.

In the book Pride and Prejudice I identified myself with Mr. Darcy, I liked him. We never show our feelings for that person, but I think a lot about her. This thing is a characteristic point of the Romantic Movement, the idealization of women loved and the fighting versus all those things or people that try to break our perfect love.

Nowadays we need sex, not love. But romantic people need something special with that person who we dream about. She is everything to us, and this is so difficult nowadays. A lot of lying, cheating, deceit and pain is what we find in the true life, outside of our ideal world that we dream about.

My ideals follow the steps of Lord Byron, Gustavo A. Bécquer, Victor Hugo, William Blake, etc.

Nobel Prize: LIU XIAOBO

This year the winner of the Nobel piece price was Liu Xiaobo, but the biggest news come from the situation of Liu. He has been in captivity with a sentence of 11 years in prison by the Chinese government because Liu Xiaobo fought for the human rights in a country with a dictatorship (in December 2008 Liu read his manifest “charter 08” that suggested a new political reform).

Now Liu Xiaobo is in prison, and he didn’t know that he was the winner of this prize for a long time. Only a month later his wife talked with him about this when she visited him in prison.
More problems come with the ceremony because China didn’t accept that Liu could go there to receive the prize, almost saying that the countries that were in favour of the nomination of Xiaobo would be considered China’s enemies.

FREE LIU XIAOBO!!!!

The most important discovery of the decade: "GRAPHENE"

The most important discovery of the decade: "GRAPHENE":

This year 2010 the Novel Price of physics went to Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, two Russians both professors at Manchester University in England. They won the Novel Price because they discovered a new extraordinary material called Graphene (It comes from carbon, but it has a single thick atom and for this reason it is one of the strongest and hardest materials in this world).

Graphene will change the technological world, because now with this material we will be able to design and build extremely little computer chips at a low cost. Less cost and better loans.
This material will change our technology, medicine, buildings structures, etc. (Watch the video and see what will happen in a few years).

Bullfighting in Spain

In Spain bull fighting is a tradition from centuries ago, but nowadays people like Greenpeace fight to stop this type of festival. They say that bulls suffer horrible things in front of the bullfighter, and that’s why currently the bulls are drugged.

On one hand we can think that the bulls are bred only for the bullfighting, and experts say that if the corridas disappear the Spanish bull will disappear too.

On the other hand there are the animal supporters who say that these festivals are too bloody.

Personally I defend the festival because I used to watch it with my great-grandmother when I was a little kid. But maybe it is too violent. I have a fight with myself about this topic.

TV show: Boston Legal

Boston legal is an american legal drama-comedy.
My faborite characters are Alan Shore and Danny Crene they have an extraordinary relationship. They are the best lawyers in Boston.
The best point of this show on my view is the dialoges about vital topics like love, sex, freedom, low, human psycohology between these two characters on the balcony of Danny's office.
Boston Legal have a lot of sarcastic, intelligent and spicy humor.
I recomend this serie to anyone who want to laugh at themselves and everything in general.


I'm waiting more seasons because I started to saw Boston Legal one month ago.
I HOPE YOU ENJOY!!!

CNN’S VIDEO

Chile mine captain offers good lessons

This situation is the perfect example to show what good or bad is like.

In the Chile mine there were a lot of lessons, lessons like: they lived together without fight and without problems with food for 69 days, they turned the light on and off in relation to night and day and also they never lost their nerves waiting for the rescue.

Now we can see that humanity hasn’t lost hope and pity on its fellow men. We can see it in these 69 days of work to help these 33 miners, and now the next step is help them psychologically.

BOOKS:

When I was a child my father told me every day that Reading would be an important thing for mu future. I didn’t understand those words at that time, but now I’m agree with him. My first important book: “ La vuelta al mundo en 80 dias”. After this came a lot of books about this topic like: “El palacio de la medianoche”, “La ciudad de las bestias”, “el reino del dragon de oro”, etc.
When I was 13 I started to read architecture book by Frank Lloyd Wright, Santiago Calatrava, Le Corbusie, Mies Van Der Rohe, Tdao Ando, Ero Sarinen and others. Architects and their buildings because I wanted to be an architect.
Years later my tastes grew up, when I was 16 – 17 I read poety like: “Rima by Becquer” and a book about sumerace of Spanish poetry.
At the moment I have started to read famous books but about important topic, books of philosophy. Books and text by Alejandro Jodorowsky, Fernando Arrabal, interviews of Jesus Quinetro, etc.
Also international people like Gandhi, F. Nietzsche, S. Dalí, Chinese honor, etc

Now I can understand my father words, because if you read you will be more ready for your do your own way.
