Publicity and my projects


As a journalist you can do a lot of things, and work in a lot of places. That's one of the things that I like about this career. There is a world of possibilities.

One of my first ideas was to work on Television or Radio. But as I was passing trought the asignatures of my career, I started to realize that It wasn't what I wanted to do the rest of my life. ¡Those guys don't have life! Don't bad understand me I like to work, In fact I have two.




I like journalism, but to me the most important thing is comunication. That's why I would like to work on public relations. It's not so stressful and it will give time to do investgation on subjects that I really like to work on and not in those that my boss will force me to do.

I reallly want to have a future with time to spend on my ideas of films and novels that I'd like to share with the world.


Sumo The best band you will ever listen to



All the music of the world is good. I am one of those people that think that we listen music depending on the mood that we are. If I am happy I listen to something like "Se despierta la ciudad - Vicentico" or "A-Punk - Vampire Weekend". If I am sad I'd like to listen "Huke - Julius Popper". If I am feeling seductive and in the mood to go out looking for party I like to listen something like "You sexy thing - Hot Chocolate" or "Ladies Nigth - Kool and the Gang".

But there is a band from the 1980s that "I can't forget, that it's in my head" (Heroine - Sumo).  This band have songs (or "had" they are not together anymore) for every state of humor. They have reggae songs to chill like "No Good" or "Que me Pisen" or "Reggae de Paz y Amor". They have themes of rock that can turn you up like "Mejor no Hablar de Ciertas Cosas"  or "Estallando Desde el Océano". Songs to be sad for loove "Breaking Away". Its name is Sumo. This argentinian band is so unique.

His leader, Luca Prodan was an italian that born in Roma. He lived his youth in England. There he went to a lot of punk concerts in the 1960s - 1970s when England was passing through a punk wave. Sex Pistols, The Ramones, Iggy Pop are some of the bands that influenced the ear of Luca. But the most important was Joy Division, a post-punk band of the 1970s. In fact the first album of Sumo was called "Divididos por la Felicidad" in mention to the brittsh band and its meaning in spanish.




For me it is the best band that I've ever heard. The saxophone and guitar solos are deligthful. Sometimes I stop to listen them for a while, but I always come back to listen the great songs. Its a band undervalued and known by a few people.

Brave women




Yesterday when I was in classroom I fell sleep watching this movie. It wasn't because I didin't enjoy the movie, it was because I was really tired. However I got to watch the first fifteen minutes and the last 15 minutes. And they help me to understand the hole plot, and more important, they help me to understand why Carey Mulligan was chosen to the principal role of Maud.

There are two films that this actress play almost the same role. The first one is Drive by Nicolas Winding and The great Gatsby by Baz Luhrman. On this films Carey played the role of an insecure girl with a constant figth between her thoughts and her happiness. Her face express the felling of a girls that is starting to change her paradigms. In the movie she really know how to evolve the character from an insecure person to a decided one.

(Great Gatsby)

(Drive)

There is one thing about the movie that I didn't like too much. In my humble opinion I think that the actors and the actress in general didn't know how to play characters from that century. I don't know, and I can't say that this is a trouble of the actors and actress or a trouble of the screenwriters. The only thing I know is that they don't make me fell that I was watching a film of two centuries ago. Maybe they did unpurpose. Maybe they wanted to make us, the spectators, realize that it is a figth that the women keep figthing.

My favourite scene is when that girl stands in front of the prince of England while he was on the race. She gave her life for the cause. That is one of the greatest acts of gift to the cause.

Without doubt it is a film that you have to watch.
