That´s my song.



I think I haven´t a favorite song. I could have favorite singers, or favorite bands of music. For example, I love so much Silvio Rodríguez, Víctor Jara, y Violeta Parra. I love so much the "Trova", witch a type of music what I love so much. Also, the classic music is too great for me. Authors like Bach, or Mahler, or Beethoven are so great and so important in music in general. But with the musical work, the piece or oeuvre it´s different to me, because the songs are like my friends which ones are "my favorites friends". I can't do that; with the songs I have a relationship, a deal. So, for me, makes no sense make a ranking with my "musical friends".

In this sense, I think there's a song that always challenges me, and always excites me because it takes an important part of my life. This song was written by John Newton, and is called "Amazing Grace", and begins:
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
For the Christian people this song is a lifestyle, and report how God saved us of our sins, and how the Lord cares for us only by grace.

The Corpus Delicti

The picture you are seeing brings me good memories. In it I can see all the intimacy, and the dynamics that I had in the middle room with my teammates. If you are careful, you will see that many friends are cheating, other very concentrated (like me) and others posing for the picture.
This image was collected while we took a PSU test at the Andrés Bello University, where the preuniversitario was.
For when we were starting to take the test, a photographer came to the door, and asked the teacher if he could take a picture. He accepted. And we, as we knew he would take a photo, we stayed quiet for a while, carefully, watching our tests. But the cameraman did not take any photo at first. Then, before the relaxation, we began to be how we really were. Began to cheat, talk, etc, and then, right there, the photographer ¡PUM! He took the picture.

These was in 2009, and brings back fond memories of fellowship and jokes, and football games at break time, and I did not notice the immense panorama that would come forward: the University, and one life, every day, without my classmates.

About my favorite film.
Since I can remember, until today, I love movies. And I like all kinds: drama, suspense, and so on. Despite that, I've noticed that instead of preferring certain kind, I have come to the conclusion that art can play in any type of movie; I have good memories of action movies, as good times in comedy films.
It could mean that my favorite director is Ingmar Bergman. Ever since I saw "The Last Seal", I was delighted. Since then I have searched for more films of him, and I liked them all, without exception –even though I have not seem them all-. Also, I consider that Tarantino has really good movies too.

I think I have not identified with any film character, and none has inspired me, but there are many that have impacted me, and I still remember them. An example of that would be The Death in The Seventh Seal.
Lately I have not seen movies because I have no time, and I think the last movie I saw was Pulp Fiction, which I recommend for its great dialogue, and for being a classic film.
