Victory city



The city of tomorrow

I was looking arround a very nice page about a city called Victory city. It's aplan a guy had when he was like 13 years old, and when he grew up decided to make his idea public. this idea is just that, an idea. An uthopic dream that have never been applyed.
The whole design of the city seems perfect, good for people and for the enviroment. The thing is that even when most of the ideas are innovative and interesting, the proyect will be so good for people that the goverment won't consider it a good idea ( becouse is better for the goverment and economy that our life is expensive and difficult, more money for them)
if the city is perfect we might not need a goverment to command us, so It'snot crazy to think that they will opposed to this great idea.

I think that here in Chile the goverment gets so many benefits from the system we're living in (and also the power nations) that the system won't change too much.
I don't think we'll have a tecnological country like Japan, or flying cars like the cartoons showed us when we were kids.Maybe we will remain being like we are now.
don't think I'm a pessimistic person, I just think tht after getting to the year 2000 and not seeing more that fireworks, I lost my hopes in living in a very modern world, maybe my kids o grandkids will, but I really think I lost my chance.

Living alone



I strongly believe that living alone is a very important and necessary experience for young people because even when you get lots of freedom, you also get many obligations which are fully necessary to make yourself responsible. this time to survive and to have a comfortable life, not just to follow a command from your parents.
If you do want to have a nice life living on your own you need to learn how to use you money, because now you have to pay bills. Also you need to buy food, keep the house clean, (when you organize a party YOU have to do all the cleaning), and so many other responsibilities that you always ignored because most parents seems to have the talent to do it without you to notice.
Nobody says is easy, but wouldn’t you just love to leave your socks on the floor and that nobody tells you to pick them up?
But please my friend; don’t forget that living alone is not to be alone. You’ll always miss your mother’s soup. And also you’ll realize very soon that you want to call her to ask her how to fry an egg or how to use that evil washing machine.

My favourite movie!





Like you can see in the picture I’ll talk about one of my favorite movies of all times, “Trainspotting”. This is British film by Danny Boyle.
You might recognize the main actor, Ewan Mcgregor (as Mark Renton), who has stared a lot of famous movies like Star wars, Moulin Rouge, including the new movie based on Dan Brown’s book “Angels and Demons”
If you haven’t seen it, let me tell you a little bit about it:
This movie is about a Group of friends addicted to heroin in the earl’s ‘90. Mark is one of this young addicted who is trying to quit heroin, but he can’t because it seems that the entire world is helping him to continue and doesn’t let him run away. You can see how the government gives him a daily dosis, his parents don’t do a thing, and also his friends are all addicts.
This movie shows us a decadent world, full of violence, crimes, sex, perversion and actually, what young people lived on that time in Britain.

I like this movie for many reasons: the Accent is just gorgeous, the Plot is captivating, I like Ewan Mcgregor a lot, the soundtrack is perfect (I fully recommend the song “Perfect Day” by Lou Reed) and finally it is what I consider a “lost generation” icon, I mean, a classic for all the young people who as ever consider himself a scourge ignored by everyone around.

...Some kind of magic



Hello readers! This week I’ll write about my favorite song at the moment:
“I caught myself" by Paramore.
The first time I listened to this song was in the movie "Twilight" (which is one of my favorite books in the world) and I immediately felt in love with the movie soundtrack.
The movie didn't reach the magnificence of the book but at least the soundtrack gave the movie the emotions that the book gives you when you read it.
This particular song is special for me because Paramore has a style I like a lot. Have you ever notice that there is some music which can make your hair stands on end? That’s exactly what happens to me with this song.
So, if you don’t know this song here you have the lyrics, and if you want to listen to it just write "I caught myself" in the YouTube gadget I have below in my blog.
Hope you enjoy it, kisses!

I CAUGHT MYSELF (PARAMORE)
Down to you
You're pushing and pulling me down to you
But I dont know what I
Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself
I'm saying something that I should have never thought
Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself
I'm saying something that I should have never thought of you, of you

You're pushing and pulling me down to you
But I don't know what I want
No I don't know what I want

You got it, you got it
Some kind of magic
Hypnotic, hypnotic
You're leaving me breathless
I hate this, I hate this
You're not the one I believe in
With God as my witness

Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself
I'm saying something that I should have never thought
Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself
I'm saying something that I should have never thought of you, of you

You're pushing and pulling me down to you
But I don't know what I want
No I don't know what I want

Don't know what I want
But I know it's not you
Keep pushing and pulling me down
But I know in my heart it's not you

Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself
I'm saying something that I should have never thought
Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself
I'm saying something that I should have never thought of you
I knew, I know in my heart it's not you
I knew, But now I know what I want, I want, I want
Oh no, I should have never thought
