Ten Years

Sometimes is not easy to think about the past and is even more difficult to think about the future. Things are happening so fast today that we can’t notice all the changes around us. However, dreaming is free and I will talk about my life in ten years time. I’ll be here, in Santiago, in my own house with my wife and my first kid. He will be four years old, more or less, and he will like camping and the animals just like I do, so we will spend much time together.  In that time, I’ll have finished my Master of Environment in some foreign University, so I’ll have a work related with the environmental care, in some NGO, or even better, working for the government managing environmental issues or making programs or policy. My parents will be still alive, and my sister will be ending her studies in something related to the health area.

The technology will be the base of the world in that time, issues like the energy sources, pollution, extinction of endangered species, global warming, etc., will found their solution on the technology.

As you know, these words up there are only good thoughts and hopes, but as I said, dreaming is free, so let’s dream and work for make them true.

A Piece of Art

I always say that I'm an artist, but not the type of artist that someone can immediatelly imagine with that word. I'm a musician, and, sadly, not used with plastic arts or visiting galleries. However, I had the luck of being in Dali's Musseum when I went to visit my aunt and my uncle in Spain, in 2005. It is placed on Figueras, 1 hour and 45 minutes from Barcelona. It was a impressive place, with a lot of pieces of art, more than I ever saw, including a lot of never published drafts. One of the pieces that I liked most was a sculpture, a clock made of solid gold with diamonds in the middle. But it wasn't just a refined clock, it was one of the famous melted clocks hanging from a tree, from the painting "The Presistence of Memory", but I can't remember the exact name of the sculpture. Here was the first time that I saw the painting and the sculpture, as I said, I wasn't  really interested on  plastic arts until that day. I don't know what I liked most of the clock, the melted shape or the shine of gold and diamonds. I think that is better than other works, just beacuse the way that it made me feel when I saw it. 

I took the upper photography, after being a couple of minutes just watching. And the photography below, it's me and my family, from left to right, my sister, my aunt, my mom, and me.
