¿?

What would be like my future ? I just have to say two things about that. The first: this is a very hard question. The second thing is: I don't have any idea about my future.

Well, I study sociology, and I like to study this. So, I intend to complete my studies. But, afther that is the problem. I only know -very clearly- the things I don want in my life. For example, I don't want the typical life of my social class: get a job, buy a house, a car... and of curse, a beautifull wife.

The another day we talked about that with my friend Natalia. She said the same thing: she has no idea about her future. I can remember one thing I thought that day. I can only imagine myself very, very old... like a grandfather. But it's strange, because I think in a little girl -seven or eigth years- but in between, I can't think in her parents and uncles: My children !!!... No please.

This is one of the things I really believe about my future: I don't wan't children. I don't have any problem with them but to be a father -or a mother- is to have a life style too. IT's not only "pure love". And of course, love is the most important thing in this kind of business, but you have to take a lot of other responsabilities.

So, I suppose that pretty little child in my dreams is my niece. But the problem is my two brothers think exactly like me: they are thirty three -Karina- and thirty seven -Claudio- years old and none have children. And the most important: no-one want children.

I see a future whithout pretty litle child in my garden.

A travel with friends

This is a really important picture for me. Obviously, is not a Big Picture, or a beautifull picture and neither an work of art. His importance is in his sentimental value.

This picture was taked this summer, during the Carnal of Oruro, in Oruro -obviously-, Bolivia. It was taken by a chilean boy -I can't remember his name- who shared the accommodation with us. But he wasn't traveled with us.

Bolivia is a country with wonderful traditions, and one of the most important are the Carnavales. The Carnaval of Oruro it's the most famous, because many people from Bolivia and the world -especially from other countries of South America- make a "pilgrimage" to the city. During three days -all the day, even the night-, all is music, dance, drink, food and happiness in the city.

Those days of carnival are the reasons because this picture is importante to me. Reflects happy days, and our life style in those days too. A friend who saw this picture, says we lived like hippies in the sixties. That comment maked me fun, because it was true.

In the picture, we can see from the left to the right: Me -with the guitar-; Pancho, an old friend from the school; Negro, another old friend; Vicho, the pancho's brother; Natalia, my best friend from the university -she studies sociology, like me- and Lisandro with Vicky, two big friends from Buenos Aires, Argentina. We know they at the first week in Bolivia, in Uyuni, and after that, we travel all together. Lisandro studies sociology in the Universidad de Buenos Aires -the most important university in Argentina- and Vicky studies psychology in the same university. They are boyfriends.

I really love this picture, because those days were wonderful, and I really love the people in that picture.

"Burgle Handkerchief-dance" and kite

I'am not a patriotic person. In fact, I think nations -like the State and the Internacional Market- are instruments created by the power, not for the people. In spite of this, my favourite festivity is September eighteenth: the patriotic fair.

¿Why? Because the people don't make nations, festivities or frontiers: they make traditions, invent how to play, dance and sing. They also make their way of life.

In Septembre I especially like to go to dance Burgle Handkerchief-dance (cueca chora) in places like peñas, fondas or with my friends in a house. The food and the drink are great too. Empanadas, wine and roast are typical in those days.

In fact, I'm very expectant for this year, because last year -2009- one of my greatest friends was very sick. Really, he was very close to die. Of course, I was every day in the hospital but fortunately, today he is fine. So this year, the party is better to be good.

There is nothig new that I desire for this year. Only dance, music, wine and food. All this with my friends ¿is there something better?
