ten years from now!

Ten years … a lot of years … well, I don’t know, but I think I’ll be living in Santiago or maybe in other place, I would like live here, or Montevideo, I think that city is amazing to live, so quiet, so, if I would have to chose, I will chose that city to live or in a smaller one of the same country. I will practice my profession. Perhaps, I also will be studying for get a PhD in other country.

I don’t know if I will be married, but I already have a son so I think that I will wait more than ten years to have another one. Now, I want to spend the rest of my time with my actual girlfriend, I think we have a very good relationship and it will be for a long time. I hope in ten years have a excellent job, to give to my son a good education and a better quality of live that that he already have.

I hope that this world still exist in ten years, ahahaha. I also hope that we can have a better world Ignacio Ibarra should not exist, only in that moment; we can say that we live in good world.

Art

The true is that I’m not a big art fan, and I don’t know a lot of pieces of art. But, when I was in the school, in history class, particularly in the class of The Renaissance I saw part of the work of Michelangelo, and I couldn’t believe that one person could do so many things in different areas of art, like sculpture, painting, architecture, and poetry. In my point of view, the most impressive work of Michelangelo is the painting of the roof of Sistine Chapel, and the painting of its wall behind the altar of the chapel. These paintings are amazing, and would enjoy watch this pieces of art by me, until that I only watch it in photographs. The paintings of the roof of the Sistine Chapel are known like the ceiling, and represents scenes from Genesis. And the painting situated in the wall behind the altar is called The Last Judgment. I like these paintings because I think that are amazing, very beautiful, leaving outside the religious connotation, because I’m atheist. And the work realized by Michelangelo was incredible, paint a entire wall with The Last Judgment and the entire roof with the ceiling, He was a incredible artist, one of the best ones in the whole history.


The first image is from The Final Judgment.
This is the creation of Adan.

And this is a painting inspired from The Creation of Adan, and is called The Creation of BART, jajajaja

La Gran Capital

My favorite board game is called “La Gran Capital” or “The Big Capital”. In the game you can move around the board and this has squares which represent properties and the objective of the game is buy this properties and earn money. I don’t remember when was the first time that I played this game, but I think that a learned to play reading the instructions of the box ahahaha. I used to play this game with my cousin, her name is Noelle, and I always won because usually I cheated xD. I think I played this board game every week, I liked so much, so I try to played frequently, but the game was very long, and I think very few times I managed to finish a game, so then I began to interest other games such as video games and cards, especially the card game called UNO. When I played The Big Capital I tried always win, at times I played with several cousins ​​and everyone wanted to win, but usually I was the winner or when I was winning the rest would be withdrawn to avoid an imminent defeat. I liked this game because I could be the owner of many properties and earned my own money dominating the city.

In a near future I will to teach to play this board game to my son, I hope he like it as much as me.

A Good Book

If I have to chose a good book, I think that I will chose Chronicle of a Death Foretold or its original Spanish title: Crónicas de una muerte anunciada. This it’s a Gabriel García Márquez’s book and I read it when I was fifteen years old, and I read in the high school, because I had to choose a book to make a dissertation of any book. My uncle told me that was a really good book and he was sure that I will enjoy it. And He was right. The protagonist of the book it’s called Santiago Nasar and He is a man who manages an estate which He inherits from his father. After a weeding in the town, the husband called Bayardo San Román return to his new wife to her family (The Vicario’s family) because he discovered that she wasn’t virgin, and She said to her family that Santiago Nasar was the responsible of that fact. After that, the two brothers of this lady decided to revenge the honor of their family, so, they looked for Santiago for all around of the town, and everybody knew the intentions of these two brothers, but no one prevented it. Santiago known the intentions of the Vicario’s brothers when they found him in his own house and kill him in that place. Santiago was the last person of the town who realized the intentions of these brothers.

I enjoyed the narrative way of the book and its amazing history. If you wanna read a book, this one can be an excellent choice.
