In the American series "Modern Family", Eric plays the role of Cameron Tucker, a gay chubby male character. He's an extroverted person, who gets nervous really easy and does anything for his daughter. He is a very sensitive person, and he's like the opposite of his couple, Mitchell Pritchet. He loves also making movies of his daughter, with costumes of famous people. He argue a lot with Mitchell, but they love each other, and it's viewed in a lot of scenes (but Cameron often showes it, instead of Mitchell, who seems a little unsensitive).
Opinion
I think is the most funny character in the series, and the character is really good played. I really like the behave of the character, because it's really uncommon. I identify myself with him a lot, and for all of this, Eric is my favourite actor. The actor, even being heterosexual, plays very good his character, and I think that's good for this society, because the people who are homophobic can see that's normal (and common) being gay.
George Denbrough, a five year-old child, was brutally murdered in Derry, a small village. His brother, Bill Denbrough, wanted to revenge him, and, with some friends (all of them were children who were bullied by Henry Bowers, a teenager boy), they solved the mistery of the death... But, 27 years later, they received a phone call from Derry (because they moved from there), and they realised that they don't finish totally with IT; their memories of childhood were completely erased. The seven friends decided to came another time to Derry, to finish with IT, knowing that they can die...
Opinion
One of the greatest books I ever read. It's a really extense narration, but it can catch you by the first 100 pages. The language is colloquial, and it's simple to understand. It isn't only an horror story; it talks about a lot of different problems, like children bulling, women abuse, discrimination to homosexual people,... Yes, for people who scares easily, it's really difficult to begin, because of the main topic of the book. But, if I say the truth, I'm a very shy and scarey person; I only read this book because I've heard that it's a really good book... And it's the truth.
Reisen is a character of the Touhou videogame series, created by ZUN from 1996(It's still continuing).
Reisen is a legendary rabbit who came from the Moon to the Earth (she was looking for a refuge, because there was a war, the Lunar War). Making her way to Gensokyo (an imaginary world of Touhou videogame series) she was surprised to meet the notorious fugitives Kaguya and Eirin (two "youkais" (it's like a monster, but with a human form, more or less)), and asked for asylum in Eientei (a part of Gensokyo). In exchange, she works for and protects Kaguya and Eirin.
Opinion
Reisen is one of my favourite characters of the videogame series, because of her behave and bullet patterns when you "fight"against her. She have powers in "Insanity", to make people going crazy (these powers come from her eyes: red and frightening), and it's a funny power, comparing to other characters powers. Ironically, I like her personality, which is one of the more stable and balanced personalities in Gensokyo.
When I think in religion, a thing that comes to my head is that's a lie, but... Even don't trusting in God, you can trust in the Biblia. I'm gonna explain it.
As you noticed, I don't believe in God. I think it's a way to control the thinking way of the people... But even "knowing" that, I've read the Biblia (more or less, because I read the most, but not all). This book it's like a science-fiction (miracles and stuff) biography of a lot of people who we don't exactly if they had lived truly in this world. It explain a lot of moral facts (it's really known that it have a lot of contradictions too), and it can be very good for people: they can find who they truly are. But also it's a very bad thing, because it can gives you a lot of prejudices (a lot, but a lot very big), and/or it can makes you think different (even being a contradiction for your real ideals, making feeling you bad and removing your self-esteem). Because it's a thing that it can't be demostrated, there's a lot of people who believe in God. Maybe people who don't trust it can't say "It's a lie!", because they can't give a solid evidence about God's unexistance... But I think that if there's a God, why is he playing with us? Even knowing the unfair who is the life, even spending their whole lifes praying, even these things, there're people who "serfs" God! I think if it really exists, it would be better to be rebel... It's like "I've created you, but now I'm enjoying your suffer and I've given you rules to spent stupidily your short lives, unenjoying them".
With this, I'm not pretending to turn "believers" into atheists; of course not. When people feel alone and sad, they have to have a thing to trust on it, and maybe religion can be useful for these people. My conclusion is that people have to realise in what they want to believe really, without being influenced.
Today there're the votation for a new president in Spain, and the prediction is that Mariano Rajoy's party (the PP) will win. With slow growth and almost five million unemployed, the economy has been at the heart of the election campaign, and Rajoy focuses on that; that's why he's the favourite in the surveys.
All this mess is going to affect me, because I'm living here, in a country where most of people only thinks there are only two parties for voting. I'm sick of it, really. It seems that PSOE and PP are the only parties (even in TV, only talking about them); PSOE don't know how to manage money and PP is a conservator party who is obsessed on it.
I'm very frightened, because the times are changing and the people are very nervous because of the situation. And all of these things give me a reflection: is it like in Germany in the 2nd World War? Yes, when a person read this maybe thinks that's an exageration, but... I don't know. I have a lot of nightmares lately about this, and surely they're affecting me... Gas chambers, killing people without remorse... Really, I'm scared. Before thesethings , in Germany there was a depression, with a lot of unemployed people... I see Rajoy like a modern Hi**er.
Well, I was very nervous, and I think I did it... good. I spent all the day before the presentation in front off a mirror talking alone and my mum though that I've went crazy. I think maybe it can be a good idea to do the presentation only in front off the teacher, but, well, it's not possible, so... I don't know how to not get nervous in front off the class, with people who did trips around the world, really bigger things than my... small flowery view. That makes me feel some embarrased, and I was looking at the screen most of the time. My intonation was correct, but my pronunciation in some parts was really terrible. A lot of "and's", it's", and... everytime I said "slanting", I did it in a different way!
Kirby is a videogame character (now he protagonizes an animated series too) created by the actual president of Nintendo when he wasn't the president. He though that it could be an arriscated marketing strategy because the first videogame was going to introduce a new concept in the platform videogame type; Mario was in that time the king, and a pink ball (first in black and white) that copy his enemies powers by absorbing them and floating like a ballon was a really weird idea... But it was good! Kirby gained a lot of popularity, and now he's known by all the platform videogame players. The cutest platform hero is played worldwide, by people of all ages.
Opinion
Kirby is my favourite videogame character! His games can be played in a lot of different ways, because each level is like a labyrinth (in most of the games), and, if you're not good playing, you can also pass floating. That's one of the reasons that Kirby is played by all type of players. He's very cute and pink, so most of people who didn't play a kirby's videogame thinks those videogames are for girls, but it's not true. Maybe the history it's a little childlike, but that isn't the reason for criticize it; Kirby have to thank his popularity to his peculiar habilities. Other thing is the games' BSO. Here you can listen two really known theme songs of the games:
The music of the first stage in "Nightmare in Dreamland", for Game Boy Advance. What a sweet memories.
Meta Knight's (Kirby's enemy) theme. That song appears most of the times when this character appears.
Yesterday I went to the cinema with some friends, and we saw that movie.
Will eightenten, a writer, bought a new home. Soon, he and his family realised that in that house are passing weird things, like seeing black-masked men spying them through windows or teenagers doing black magic in their basement. Will discovered that in the house there were 3 murderings 5 years ago, and the murdered ones are his family, killed by him. He was seeing ghosts... Will began a investigation, sure that he couldn't kill his children and his wife; this is dangerous, because the real murderer is free, somewhere... Wanting to "correct his mistakes".
Opinion
I was looking for a suspense film, and it was like suspense, but very, very bad... I though I was going to sleep. I don't like it at all, because it don't have much... "hook". At the end, it had the worst finish I remember; all the people in the cinema were asking "Is it finished? Really?", because it gave an empty sensation (As you're noticing, I don't know how to describe this exactly). There were some too boring scenes. The most I liked was the images and the scenarios. Also there was few sensitive moments, but there weren't very deep at all. The soundtrack was very low for a suspense film, and I don't like the plot, which, from my view point, is like a child story (all have that "strange" finish). I don't recommend this movie to anyone, because I think it's better to see other suspense films (like "While you're sleep", for example; a good one). I think it was the worst movie I ever seen in the cinema. Well, it works good being an excuse for meeting my friends; that's what I liked the most.
Lady Gaga, the famous singer, is launching a charity which fights against the bulling in young people. Realising that was a real big problem (by a fan’s suicide, discriminated only for being gay), she wants to stop it, launching the charity, officially, the next year.
Well, it doesn’t affects me directly, because I’m not in a bulling situation. But I know some people who are very sad because of that, and I feel vey sorry, because they are really good people, but the bullys, who only cares about the superficial things, don’t mind about it.
I’m sure that one day, it will stop. Surely I’ll be dead when it stop, because most of the people don’t care about saying or doing things, before they act. That’s one of the problems who have this society; most of the people thinks after actuing, being cruel, even don’t having that intention. Just for fun, maybe someone says. Oh, my God, empathize a little. Only a little, and you maybe realise how much you’re making suffer that poor person or people.
Last Saturday was my birthday. I only received a chocolates box from my mother, but I don’t care about it, because the people who love me (as family, as friend,...) called me by phone to congratulate me. Also there’s a lot of people who do it through Facebook. I felt very emotional, feeling that warm. I was thankful. I think the birthday is one more day in the live, like all the others. I think that day is for realize of that the people who are around you want your happiness.
I mean, the only what makes special that day is the people who loves you, isn’t it?
I spent most of the day talking by phone or thinking about my life; my duties, my future, and all the stuff what is in my head (I’m a person who likes to think at every single moment), and I consolidated my dreams and my ideals. It was raining outside, and it made a strange atmosphere.
Well, today a friend sent me a video, to congratulate me again. It’s like a call to the radio, but by email, and through a series of a boy that lives in Japan (it’s like a diary); my friend likes the series a lot, so he sent the message, knowing there’s a section who is for congratuling people. Here is the video (in Spanish, unfortunately):
You surely laugh with Razi (the series maker); he’s an Spanish boy who is already living in Japan, and he talks about his life in Japan, to help the people who wants to get there one day.
Well, I was very illusionated when I saw it; my friend didn’t say me what’s going to appear in the video, like a surprise.
Well, when someone who don’t know much about Japan have to talk about it, he surely says that Japan is a an island, in the Pacific Ocean. Maybe some people want to go further, saying that Japan is the worldwide leader in technology. And there’s some of these people who know about the traditional Japan. I don’t know much about traditions or manners of Japanese people, but I know one thing as minimum... And that’s Japan most important thing for me: In that country, the flowers have a very strong presence, and are the protagonists of some traditional rituals, like Ikebana, which consists on making compostion with flowers/plants in a recipient (bowl,...), normally made of ceramic.
Yes, it can be a little weird coming from a boy to talk about flowers, but I don’t mind. I love to watch flowers. I love to smell their sweet fragance, touching softly their petals to sense their mildness. The flowers are very important in my life, because I relay them with my feelings and some significant memories. That’s why I like Japan. I want to travel there to feel free for doing that, without the typical people with prejudices about boys watching flowers. Here, in Spain, you can’t do that; maybe you can ignore those people, but that can evolute into a bulling situation, or you can feel very violent, because it’s a sensitive moment. One of my dreams is to watch the cherry flowers falling in the floor with my couple. I’ve seen it on videos, but it’s not the same.
Last Saturday, I saw this movie with a friend, looking for an horror movie because Halloween was near. We were looking for “Paranormal Activity 3”, but it wasn’t there, so, we decided to see that movie.
It talks about the life of a man, a sad life. He’s a doorman, who enjoy the pain of the others, because he thinks that is the only way he can be happy. But, suddenly, he noticed that a girl was always smiling. He tries to make her suffer, but she keeps smiling, without noticing that the doorman was trying to make pain to her. Soon, the continued smiling, day by day, turned the bad intention into an obsession, and the doorman propose to himself to do anything to erase that smile. Anything.
Opinion
Well, I supposed it was an horror movie, but it looked more like a suspense film (but there was some terror, after all). Anyway, I liked it. In some scenes, I remember that I though to embrace my friend’s arm, because I felt a lot of pressure in my heart. I didn’t do that, but the cold thinking way of the main character (the doorman) scared me. The characters were correctly interpreted, but not perfect, from my view point. There was a good soundtrack, that gave me chills in some scenes.
Well, if you have a pesimist view point, I recommend you to go and see this movie; but if you’re a sensitive person, who scares easily, you can enjoy it, but go with other person. You’ll be better. This movie isn’t a masterpiece, but is a good one, and makes you think about the human thinking ways. Only imagining how cold can be a person, I felt very scared, trying to not think that everyone around me was a murderer when I was getting out of the room. Yes, distress. That's exactly what I felt during the movie.
Very funny, when I remember it in my room; but seriously, I felt very scared, surely because I’m a person who thinks a lot. Too much sometimes, I think.
All began that day.It was 21st of June, the day when the school had finished. As usually, I smiled when the last bell rang. After I walked to my bus, thinking about the summer: friends, ice-creams, beach,... and when I reached home, I noticed that my parents were out. I don’t have any brothers or sisters.
I made a sandwich to had a snack, because it was about 5pm. Later, I spent the whole afternoon watching TV. But once it got dark, I remembered that my mother said that I had to buy bread for dinner before she reach home. I looked the kitchen’s clock, and I screamed “Oh, no! It’s about 9pm! Mum will kill me!” I was lucky, because she work until 9:30pm, so I picked some money and I started to run, wishing that my mother delay some time.
The path to the shop is a narrow passage; in the night, it can be a little scary to pass through it, because of its illumination (a phantomly orange light were issued by the few old lamps that were placed high, in the walls of some houses), but it was the only way to go faster. I kept runing, but it was a really long path; so, I got tired at 5 minutes of running. Then I stopped, starting to walk normal.
Suddenly, I heard a strange noise, like a bubling meowth, like a cat which was drowning, behind me. I felt chills, but I didn’t stop walking, ignoring that strange sound and the chilly atmosphere around.
NOTE: I tried making this story with some impersonal characters, like the main character. The story evoluted too much faster, and I can't continue with it... So, I'll make a list with the impersonal characters, described like they were all boys (he, him, hero...), but you have to use your own imagination. That was one of the main objectives of this story. Oh, if you put on the music I chose, you'll enjoy more the story. But you have to put it when you get there! It means that when you arrive to the music player, you have to put on the music. When you'll read with the music, read slowly.
Once upon a time, there was a noble child who was different than the other noble childs. While the boys were wrestling and trying to make angry any girl, and the girls were playing with dolls or being disturbed by the boys, our little hero use to draw and walk through the castle's garden, smelling the flowers. He was a very sensitive person, who felt very strong his feelings. His parents misteriously dissapeared few years ago. There was an extraordinary search for them, because they were really kind people, but anyone found them. So, our little kid grown up with his uncle Mousse, the king of the Forest Kingdom, but he felt very lonely all the time. His aunt and uncle were unable to have a child, and they want our hero to be king when Mousse pass away. Our child didn't want that. He saw a lot of poor people in the streets of the village, and he felt very sorry for them. He couldn't understand how his uncle could rest peacefully knowing the existence of that. When he asked him, his uncle only said: "They're only trash, little." Our hero saw his uncle's face while he was saying that... And our hero understood. Without saying anything, he ran to his room, and he began to cry, knowing, scared, that he must be like that cruel one day, without any escape. But, before he could reach his room, 3 noble children saw him. They started to make fun of him. Our unfortunated hero started to run faster, but he fell in the floor... The other 3 children laughed more louder, make him cry more. He stood up slowly, and he walked to his room, trying to stop crying, but when he locked his room's door after him, he jumped in the bed, starting to cry again. Before he can notice, the door slamed, and his uncle Mousse grabbed his neck. The king started to shout: "MY SUCCESSOR CAN'T CRY! STOP, OR I'LL KICK YOU!" He can't stop crying; our little hero was totally scared, shouting very louder... "DAMN, SHUT UP!" His uncle threw him to the bed, and he started to go, but he said: "If I hear that you were crying, I'll kick you until you consume all your stupid tears. You heard me, don't you?" Silence. "DO YOU HEAR ME?!" "Yes, uncle, yes!" Said our hero trying to not cry again, trembling. After this, the king went out, slaming the door for second time...
Then, our hero layed in the bed, and the silence came again...
Our hero woke up when it was night. He couldn't hear anything in the castle, so he imagined that all were sleeping. He remembered all the day. Then, he started to cry again. "Why are the people cruel with me? It's unfair" He sobbed. "They have all they want... And I can have it too, but... The only I need..." His tears started to ran through his rosy cheeks, falling in the bed, while he was sobbing... "I... I... I don't want all that things... I don't want power, gold, or a lot of people at my orders..." He looked through the window... The full moon, shining in a white light, was high in the sky, illuminating the garden. The flowers, leapt in that pure light, were closed, waiting for the sun to open again. He stopped crying, feeling a lonely sentiment. "All I want is my parents coming back through the castle's big door. I want to embrace them again, laugh with them, create unforgotable moments... I don't want anything else..." He started to cry again, laying down in the bed... He didn't know how much time he was crying, but, finally, he fell sleep, while a tear was still sliding slowly through his cheek...
