Champagne & Reefer

Muddy Waters said in a song “Yeah bring me champagne when I'm thirsty. Bring me reefer when I want to get high”. I agree with that, so I would like to visit Netherland. I think that country has liberal politics in moral issues, for example marijuana consumption. It’s a very different experience so visiting Netherland is a challenge.

It’s interesting how that country take the prostitution topic and it puts the subject in order. In fact, in Amsterdam there is a red light district. I’m not interested in going with a prostitute, but I consider that people which want to go, have the right to do it. They have the freedom to decide, I believe in that.

I would like to visit a coffee shop. I think that the marijuana consumption should be allowed. I insist, every single person of this planet have the power to decide about themselves. It would be a luxury smoking in an established place without a weight of the law.  

I don’t know if I’d like to study there. I like Chile, but I can say one thing: if reside in Netherland helps me to learn English (it is not the official language) I would like to do it. 

No country for goodfellas

"Call it, friendo". "F*ck you, pay me". These two quotes belong two movies that I like very much, No Country for Old Men (Coen Brothers) and Goodfellas (Martin Scorsese) respectively. I don`t know what is the best -Come on! I'm forgetting Apocalypse Now (Francis Ford Coppola)- but I can say that I've seen their a lot of times. 
 
Both films are about crime and illegal activities. There are powerful characters, people who can do anything and they don’t receive punishment. That’s I like, because despite they are criminals, this guys are free. They are wiseguys. I would recommend to anybody who wishes freedom.

       I watched Coen’s movie at cinema in 2008. Obviously, I saw Goodfellas in DVD, but I’ve seen them through Cuevana website. Great success! Thanks Cuevana, because I can watch lots of movies since my house. I go to the cinema when I think there is a good movie really. Thanks Cuevana because I don’t have to download movies anymore. And thanks Cuevana because I don’t have to rent films. What the hell is Blockbuster?  

Movies rules, they are better than Chilean TV. However, Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations of Travel & Living Channel is a cool TV show. Therefore, a movie about my life should be a mix of travel and mafia. I would like that, for real!

Ashtray with water

Summer: time to begin the new term. Time to sweat inside the classroom. It's time to think about my projects in middle of warm city. It's also time to study with a beer in my desk. Many people claims against the beginning of this term, but I have some ideas to do it special.

I study journalism in Campus Juan Gomez Millas of Universidad de Chile. I am taking subjects which make me think a lot, for example semiology or contemporary visual culture, so my head will sweat very much surely. That's why I expect that "El Cenicero" (The Ashtray) to be filled with water.

Probably, it will make us feel better for studying during summer. This term will be special, Santa Claus will pass for every single classroom to give us presents, therefore I feel better. I just regret that I won't pass my birthday in an aflout ashtray.
