Hi guys, what a gift to share with you some of my reflexions…. Mmmm, let´s make a reflexion about something. Garbage, junk, that can be. Right, I have always like junk because of how it see, because of the time, the history of the objects we find in there, in the big piles in my lovely city Santiago, where I was born and grew . Junk it is always there in the city life, making you seek with it smell, but garbage always want to you to try it, to see it, to force your eyes to see what it is really there, junk want to be rescued. There is us, the city hero, the obsessed urban men and women always needing something, always searching for something, feeling empty as we are. And I tell you my brothers: all that you want is in the junk. That doll´s head with one eye is in the junk, that piece of wood, with fungus and a hole, that tv that doesn´t work but it´s from thirty years ago it is there. A mean everything, the world is there screaming, going under and under. So don´t waste your time being at facebook trying to be part of something and go anywhere you now there is some garbage you can stole from the city and take for you, and keep it, that quiet object is now yours, your little dirty treasure. Then you, gorgeous, make a gift to it and give a place in your life to it. Love it as you would like to love you. There you will now. There you will now.

I´m going to talk about a little piece of technology that means many things to me, it is the cd. The cd technology appeared in the nineties’ while we were listening at the irruption of heavy rock sounds. I was a kid and a started to get interested in music, (i have this uncle who shows me music) and i was with my mother at the supermarket. We were going out until a saw a music store and I got in it. I asked my mother to buy me an iron maiden cd and she acceded so there it is i received my first cd, the first of three hundred cds that I have nowadays collected. All my life i have been listening music, learning about the sounds of the sixties’, the big seventies, the black eighties and the hard nineties’, the experimentation has been wonderful in this last sixty years in music and i feel so grateful because I had the choice to listen what i wanted, i was always in music stores listening up to some new or some old band, connecting processes in my mind about haw the experimentation in art flows through our history. I think i started this passion when i was like eight years old. My life without cds, without the option of listening music and expanding my life experiences would be very different, maybe, maybe not, I cannot say that, but I can say if I hadn´t listen any music in my life for sure it would be another thing that obsessed me.

The place that I am going to describe is the Peruvian amazon, where I and my father travelled in the year to thousand and twelve. We started the our trip n Iquitos, the capitol of Peruvian amazon, were we stayed a few days taking pictures with some analogue cameras charged with black and white pictures. The most I like from Iquitos was the markets with all their colours mixed, the reds and the yellow of the fruit was incredible. Also the fish was incredible, the thing was the volume, there was so much fish, everywhere was people fishing and catching, fishing and catching, and selling it We also travelled through the Peruvian amazon going in west direction to Brazil. It was a long way. We stopped in many villages and small towns and we talked to many people that live there. They told me and my father the vision they have about their world, about their reality. I found a place where many people lived well, without money but only caring about grown their food fishing day by day.

Helo, I am clemente, the owner of this blog. This is my english class blog and my job now is tell you about me so... let's start: I was born in nineteen eighty nine in Santiago. It was a rainy day of may. When I was born my fathers lived in another country, so at the time of two months after I was born we moved out to another country. They told me that we were always travelling from our house to Chile, so they started to feel tired about that, in the end we stayed here. I can't remember that becouase i was too young. So, the first things i remember is living in an ant's house with many animals and a great yard, that's why i feel so good at nature and I love living with animals. Then, when i was five or six years old we moved to an aparment were I grew up until I was a young guy who likes music more than anything in the world. so I was listening music all day long, I started to apreciate art and became to feel the effect of art in my mind and body. I understood what culture is and what it means to us as human being. Well, all this things started at yhe age of thirteen or fourteen years old and they been growing in my soul and in my material life. Now on im almost finishing my art studies in college, ending and starting proceses that gona gide my life in the next future days, and I hope this class teachs me things to support all this things in my life in all the ways. Good bye, seeya.
