My favourite Song

Im sure. In these moment of my life, the song that I cant stop listening is "Times are a-changin", of the mythical composer Bob Dylan.
These song talks about every time in the past was better than now, and its the soundtrack of a great movie as it is Watchmen.
The part that I like most of the song is:
"Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is Rapidly aging
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'".


Here he talks about another time, different from the past, were fathers and mothers must stay calm. They must stop triying to shape what they expect from their kids. They must let them free, let them have their own experiences.
I think that these song touch me deep in what I think the behaviour of the parents should be. Its true that Im not mother yet, but I hope i have still these principles, and I do not restrict what they want to do.

The movie were these theme is principal its about some superheros. They are interested in saving the world, but they are real people. The just wear costume and feel like inmortal. But its not true. They are full of conflicts about good and wrong, about making good in a political way. Who watch the watchmens?, these is the question that start the movie, and that gives a lot of moral observations about the role of the heros.

My favourite hobby

I think that what I love most its to ride my bike. Nothing compares with the free experience of holding tightly the handlebars in a way down. Very fast. Gathering high speech and closing, just one second, the eyes. Turning up the volume of my cd player, listening the songs that I thought I have allready forgot, and sing them, so loud, that people may think that you are crazy. I love crossing the city in my bike. Knowing new spots, neighbourhoods that generally you dont appreciate, but when you watch them clearly, with my vehicle in my other hand, its so obvious that these is what I like.

However, the bike is a moment that I love to enjoy by myself, I like hanging out with my friends too. Especially when we discuss about a good movie or book. We all are very different in tastes, so its very interesting to share a beer and talk about our opinion of anything. My friends, and I, we all think that our critique are important, so we let our tongues go. Its funny, we laugh, and we get angry, and then we hugh each other. We have met since so long, that any conflict its resolved by drinking out another bottle.

Favourite piece of technology

I think my favourite piece of technology it’s my video camera, wich was my present in my 23rd. Birthday. It was a big surprise for me to receive it, because when I was younger I used to record a show that I have with a friend, and when we saw it we had some much fun.
It has been very interesting playing with the camera again, recording different moments that I’m living right now. I think that some day I will play them to my children, and they will laugh with the things that I do with my friends, and how do we look when we were twenties.
Nevertheless, I’m not a technological girl, so I’m not very stuck in the modes and the applications that the camera can reach. I really don’t matter the effects that you can put during the tape, I like the view just as it is seen. I think that too much effects may look overlaborate and destroy the principal image that I’m trying to capture. I like the most simple, non elements that decentralize.
The thing that I like the most about my camera it’s her shape. The thinnest and tiniest camera I’ve ever seen. I can hold it in just one hand, and the memory cards nowadays are so little. You can use wherever you want because the size it’s so comfortable. When I’m recording I remember my parent and his old video camera, that was so big, with the old vhs videos, and a bag where he carried all the stuff that his camera needs. It makes me nostalgic, but I’m grateful that technology allows something much handy. In fact the camera is called a ‘Handy cam’ so I think that’s why is so convenient.
