Against dog phobia

Sometimes people are disappointed or drew back from dogs in public localizations. I have a dog and I am always asking myself why people hate dogs, why always complaining about dogs, some people really disagree if you want to walk the dog throw a park, and even more If you want to do it on a shop. Dogs are kind, and society tries to harm them, because of some dogs have a bad reputation, such as Pit-bulls, Rottweilers or Dobermans, I do not think is a dog problem, because is the owner problem to educate correctly his dog.

On the hand we have the people who hate dogs or just do not like them, and do not want them in parks or shops neither. And on the other hand we have the pro animals that wants the animals to be wherever they want. Well, it is a true fact  that some dogs have bad attitude against people or the environment, destroying the grass or leaving feces that there owners do not pick up, but you have to consider if your dog  is properly educated you would not have any problem. What I want to say is not the dog problem, is the owner's problem, what the dog does is what the owner have teach or not teach him.

To conclude I would like to make one reflection, If we chase out dogs from the parks where else can we take them, they are part of our daily life, why not to have them everywhere, they are suppose to be " The best friend of human".

Star Wars Fever

Last week was the premiere of the new Star wars film, this includes the beginning of a new trilogy too, this George Lucas  production had became more and more famous during the years, generation throw generation. From the first film: Star Wars IV A New Hope, and the old trilogy, that begins the first trilogy in 1977. Three movies, three masterpieces, three parts of our lives.

Star Wars is an important and influential member of popular culture. All the characters are loved, from the master Yoda to the almost villain Darth Vader. Who have not seen at least one film of this saga. Iconic and charismatic characters, no matter if they are villains or heroes , you will like them all. I hope this saga continue for many years.

It is true that first trilogy was much better than the second one, some people hate The Phantom Menace, whereas I like I think is entertaining. I hope this new trilogy do not disappoint me.

Sports in my life III / Essay

When I began to do sport, I first play basketball, I was very tall so I was ideal for this sport, I was quite bad at first, but then I start to progress. All the weekends and also the trainings that were three times per week make basketball a important piece of my life, I’ve could even imagine what could I have played instead of basketball. I have met many of my current friends due to basketball, basketball is without a doubt the sport of my life, I will never forget all the moments in this sport. However, I had suffered because of basketball, most of the times I were worried or I suffered because I were a reserve at a game, I hate when I was on the bench, but sometimes you suffered due to you have injured, and if you are injured you have to wait and rest until you are healed, sometimes too much. I have played for two different, Polaris World Murcia and after this for C.B. Capuchinos, many matches, many trainings, and many friends in each team, and great experience in both. Normally I used to have a good relation with all my teammates, but sometimes we have arguments because of the tension of this sport, I think it is normal. Moreover I still have relation with some of them. I have won a lot but also I have lost many times, either defeats or wins are important. You can learn from defeats, your errors and your mistakes perhaps more than if you lose. It is hard to lose but like Michael Jordan said, “I have missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. 26 times I have been trusted to take game winning shot and missed. I have failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” He was incredibly correct.

I liked tennis, and I used to play with my dad, I enjoyed going to the tennis court and play for a while. Because of that I decide to go to tennis lessons, to improve my tasks. Although I just spend one year playing tennis, after that year I have played tennis but just by myself, against friends, not in a competition. Perhaps it was not so important in my life, I never take it seriously.

I played Handball last year; it was very tough to learn, although it is similar to basketball. It was a new sport, new team, new teammates, all different. I was usually on the bench because I was new, I had good times. However, I was disappointed because I did not play too much, although when I was playing I did it quite well. Finally we won the Regional Championship and we reached the National Championship, that was an exciting and incredible experience.

         This year I began to do boxing, is what I wanted since I was child but it was a bit dangerous so now it is the perfect moment to start. I really like that sport, is not very violent though, you have to respect. Furthermore in this sport you do a lot of exercise, it is tiring, although I am really enjoying the trainings; it is hard to learn because you have to coordinate yourself and that is tough. This is the beginning but I hope I will still doing boxing in the future.

Sports in my life II / Introduction and Conclusion.

INTRODUCTION

I have been playing sports since I was 6 years old, I have great experiences and moments, and suffer and hard moments too. At the beginning I started to play basketball for 6 years, I really liked it, although I hated the trainings, in this time I played a lot of games and of course made many friends. Due to some facts I decided to stop playing basketball for a year. But I returned playing basketball to another team. The previous year played Handball, it was so hard to learn. Finally this year I have started doing what I have wanted since I was child, I am doing boxing. Sport is essential in my life, I have suffered and enjoyed it too, I do not know what I could have done without it perhaps would not be what I am now.

CONCLUSION

 Sports are an essential part of my life as you could see; I have passed bad and good moments. I have met great friends, although I have done many different sports, the sport I have enjoyed more is basketball, also is the one I have played the most. Moreover I have played many matches in different sports, Handball, Tennis and Basketball. I think it is important to try new sports, meet new people, so I think that have played different sport is very usefull to me, eventhough it can be tough to learn at the beginning it is healthy and fun for ourselves.

DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP?

Strange name for a wonderful book  and also a incredible and essential film called Blade Runner , for sure one of my favourites, fantastic script with some quotes for the history , one scene that is on my head since I have seen it when I was 10 years old, this final scene was breathtaking, the scene was played by Harrison Ford ( Indiana Jones) and Rudger Hauer :

"I have seen things you people would not believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhausser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain... Time to die."

A historic quote for a perfect final of an amazing movie. A masterpiece directed by Ridley Scott (Alien, Gladiator).

Amenábar, the Spanish Mastermind

Today I want to talk about one of my favorite film-directors, Alejandro Amenábar, probably the best Spanish film director alive with Almodóvar. He is also a screen-play writer and a composer. He had won one Oscar’s awards for “Mar Adentro”, a real life story about the tetraplegic Ramón Sampedro (played by Javier Bardem), also he had won nine Goya’s awards . He made Thesis, his first important film when he was 23 years old, a psychological thriller. “Abre los ojos” was his second movie and was a huge success in Spain, in my opinion “Abre los ojos” is his masterpiece, with an exceptional Eduardo Noriega and Penelope Cruz. This film had a Hollywood remake called Vanilla sky, not as good as the original one. In 2001 he released his best known film The Others, starring Nicole Kidman. Although his lasts films were not what the audience expected. He usually does in his films twisted finals where spectators are surprised for this unsuspected turn of the plot. He is a young director with incredible and breathtaking movies.

Punk Rock / Classical Music

Punk rock and classical music are different styles of music, listened by different type of people. First of all, both are music styles. Punk rock has a harder style, and classical music with a softer way of doing music. On the one hand, we have Punk rock that uses guitars, drums, basses, microphones, and like in classical music, Punk rock may sometimes have a keyboard. On the other hand we have Classical music more melodic and softer than Punk, also Classical music  uses another kind of instruments like violins, double basses, violoncellos, trumpets, etc. Punk rock fashion and behavior isn’t the same as classical music, Punk rock musicians have a casual look with jeans, strange hair styles, bizarre behaviors, etc. Classical music musicians are more formal, with suits, quieter behavior. Band names from Punk rock are much different from Classical music bands names. However, Punk or Classical are both after all music.

Opinion paragraph

Mistreated animals

First of all, I have to say that I’m completely against this mistreat that sadly is very common nowadays. Despite of all the animal protective, and all the “protection” animals should have. It’s not just the particular mistreat in private, there is a public mistreat that is a tradition. The mistreat is done to the bulls, in Bullfighting or the folkloric festival called “Toro de la Vega” where the cruelty goes to the extreme, they hunt and kill the bull with spears. It is supposed to be a public interest festival. I have increased my sensitivity against the animal mistreat since I have my dog. Al though have suffered the animal abuse, and there more and more dogs abandoned because their owners are reckless and unresponsive with the dogs, we must help these dogs , and make them have a better with someone who is going to love him more. We must stop this senseless mistreat, animals deserve to live a better life and we are not doing this possible.

"Día de los muertos"

The day of the dead is a popular Mexican Holiday; it is celebrated also in other places from South America. In this holiday people commemorate, remember and also pray for their ancestors who have died.  This holiday is celebrated during the 1ª and 2ª of October, also in Spain we have a similar holiday called “El Día de Todos los Santos” but it’s not as important in Spain as in Mexico. A well-known figure from the day of the dead is Catrina,  all kind of skull is normal on this day too. This day instead of being a sad is a day of happiness and celebration, so all of these facts make The Day of the Dead an unusual and fantastic Holiday. I hope I can go someday; it would be a great experience to go there and live it.

Music festivals in Murcia

 Music festivals are very popular nowadays, these kind of festivals are a way to have fun with your with friends, meet new people and of course the live concerts. In general terms these festivals are a life experience. We have a few music festivals in my city, Murcia. The most important is SOS 4.8, this festival has mainly an indie music style but also you can some electronic or rock music. Many famous bands had come to these festivals, Patti Smith, Prodigy, The Kooks, Pulp, etc. It’s not all about music, there is an art area too, some of our local artists show their creations. In addition we have others good festivals with different types of music, like Bside festival, Lemonpop, La mar de musicas, etc.
