My dear Josh !

Since the English 3 I love Josh, but not in the romantic way I really like him English. He is a great English speaker, knowing a lot of vocabulary and important things about grammar. All that things make me chose him like my favourite English blogger.

Josh have a similar point of view about so many things, making that when I’m reading him posts I forget which one made it.

I like the way that he take common things of the ordinary life, and convert it in an interesting thing to comment about it. Like when he chose Wikipedia like him most visited webpage, is something so ordinary in our lifes, but he took it and talked about it like no one have made it ever.

He have a special sense of humor that is amazing!. Is a really great quality can laugh about ourselves like to the other people without troubles. This is something very valuable in the 21st century’s people, which is so stress for the chaotic life, and don’t have enough time to relax and enjoy a little of simple things that we live daily.

I wish him hadn’t include so commentary because their post are too extensive, and sometimes you finish bored of read all that preach.

My favourite post is the last one “Monumental art pieces”. I love art since I was little and I chose the art to express my feelings, and I learnt to paint. When I saw him post I fascinated with the land art. I haven’t seen something like that in my entire life, surprising me a lot for the beauty of this.

Surrealism in the 21st century!

Shana & Robert Parkeharrison
When the awful reality keeps our minds erased, a little escape for this appears like sunshine in the morning.

Since the last year that I’m hypnotized with these two photographers, they are Robert and Shana Parkeharrison a marriage which is dedicate to bring us all this fantastic oneiric world of the surrealism that we lost with the globalization.

The photography is made by a mixture of resources that make it different to the other photographs. It uses just one color the sepia tone, which gives this old touch lost with the digital photographs, also it build images of a devastated world and the men fight and their machines against this. But the most important is the oneiric world and the remembrance of a weird dream, imperfect, isolated and mechanic.




Suspension


I love all their photographs, but I have my favorite and it title is “Suspension” a photomontage from the exhibition “The Architect's Brother”. Is very special for me, I don’t why I feel really touched for the message or what I think that they try to transmit with it.

Since I was little I have a infatuation with the clouds, I think is for it relation with dream, definitely I’m a dreamer like said John Lennon in Imagine, letting all the time to my mind visit the entire universe and let it imaging all kind of things.

Suspension is inviting to us to catch a cloud and start to dream, dreaming in this square world where everything is controlled for the money and the science, but maybe if we try a little this would be different and our imagine can give us other vision of this sad world and bring us a beautiful new world cramped of our dreams and everything that we thought lost in the time.

An awful new


When you think that you live in a sick sad world and nothing can be worst, this new surprise you and make you think about what the hell are we thinking to do these horrible things.

In Peru in a town called Canete, the townsfolk realize The “Gastronomical Festival of the Cat”, a particular festival where eats cats for two days, arguing about the good properties of the kitten’s meat to cure bronchial disease. Also they say that it meat is a great aphrodisiac (how can say that?).

Peruvians prepare and feed these kittens for these day, which takes place in the end of September, in the Saint Iphigenia (poor kittens). Those day they eat cat hamburgers and fried cats legs and tails (awful).

Obviously this generates the ire of the animal rights groups like PETA. Is so horrible the quantity of animals massacre for this kind of belief, that is unnecessary adding more violence and rights violation. They can’t understand the Peruvian belief and are going to try to finish with this terrible festival.

I’m really disconcerted with this terrible festival, I love animals and specially kittens I can’t imagine how someone can pass this idea on it him mind. Something more effective than comment this new in a little space in a not very prestigious newspaper, the entire world should be warning about these kind of awful things that happened when we’re worry about stupid things like fashion and showbusiness, trying to save a life (in this case a kitten’s life) is so much important and would help to have a more harmonious world.
