Japan

One of the whim that I keep from my childhood is the idea that someday, who knows when, I will go and I will  stay in Japan. This idea, this dream (that goes along with my other dreams, like work as a truck driver or have a personal home) it borns during my first years of life, after watch some anime and get fascinated, first, about the diferent views and landscapes, also because of the way how the big old nipon tradition is mixed with the most digital modernity, and finally and most important, because the cartoon brought their original language, that crazy phonetic, that rapid way of talk, the ceremonial way that they asume the verbal comunication and, in general, all the social space. But now that I think about it, I guess that there is another reason, a secret one: imagine myself speaking that language without problems, with naturality.

So, I hope someday I can save some money, buy a ticket or whatever and get to the island. Get a little home, preferently in a rural city, have some language skills and get a good nap.

It is not a beautiful place?

THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES

Ten days ago, on june 5, the north american writer Ray Bradbury  died. I dedicate him a few words.

Was at school Piamarta (the place that I mentioned a few post ago) where I met Bradbury literature. I was forced to read a book of the author dragged by an evaluation, Farenheit 451. I was in someway a kid and that book contributed to leave my childhood and asume my self as a human bean, as one more, an adolescent and part of a system. Also, I learned a lot of that catastrophic criticism. I had never read before a dystopia.

Then, I found in my home another author's book, one that quickly seduced me and made me a mad and, you know, that I liked. The book was The Martian Chronicles, a combination of science fiction stories joined in a reality where the planet Mars has been colonized by the human race.

The Martian Chronicles was the first book that really fascinated me, generating my first thoughts about the social thing, stimulated my imagination, took me to delirium and entertained me.
