Blanki and Rubi

It's hard to believe but I've never had a pet. I imagine it must be a great
experience because everyone talks about their dogs or cats and I have no
story to tell about that LOL. That is why I can only talk about the pets that
I see most are the cats of my brother's family.

They are Blanki and Rubi. The first is a black and white cat very
affectionate, and the second is a cat with a clear and unsociable coat,
 she always escapes, but returns to eat.

Both are brothers, my sister-in-law found them in a box in the street and
took them home. They were part of a pack of four kittens, but their other
two brothers died of natural causes soon after.

Blanki and Rubi are quite independent, but like all cats, they sometimes need
a lot of affection and my nephews, Cristopher and Agustín are in charge of
giving it to them. Agustín is two years old, so sometimes I can be a bit rough
with them, despite the fact that he wants them.

My brother and his family will soon move to my house so I will have
plenty of time to get to know these cats and finally I can have pet stories
to tell.

Zdzisław Beksiński

The story of how I met this artist is a bit curious. I reviewed one of those typical humor pages until I found a post with one of his paintings. I had never seen such a painting, and the truth disturbed me a little.

I started looking for material about this painter and what I found was rather scarce because his whole life was quite dark.

To explain a little his work, it is necessary to mention that in several interviews that were realized he explained that "he had constant nightmares and that he woke up in the middle of the night and painted what he saw in them".

This is observed in all the themes of terror and fictional worlds that he deals with in his works. For many he is considered a genius, but his work has not been widespread except in the underground world.

His life was also full of mysteries and sadness because his wife died in 1998 and the following year, 1998, his only son committed suicide. In 2005 the painter was assassinated in his department by the children of the concierge of the building.

As they could read all his life and work was covered by the shadows, perhaps this marked his genius. Down afterstate a example of his job.

To the middle of the world!!!!

In some of my previous blogs I mentioned that I had traveled to Peru and Ecuador and those without doubt were my best vacations, although not every moment was entertained.

Together with my gilfriend we plan the trip for weeks. The idea was to get to Arica spending as little as possible, so we decided to hitchhike and it worked but it took us a week to get there, despite that we were able to see everything the desert and the north of the country had to offer us.

Once in Arica we crossed to Tacna where we bought soles, the currency of Peru, there they were cheaper than buying them in Santiago. Then we took a bus that took 27 hours to Lima. The idea was to spend a few days in Lima to continue north. Lima was beautiful and maybe the place I liked the most during the whole trip.

Continuing north we reached Mancora, the most tourist beach in Peru where I personally did not have much fun, I also got sick of dengue fever and I felt I was going to die, despite everything we went to Ecuador where my health improved and we were able to get to know Guayaquil and Quito.

We were next to my gilfriend in the middle of the world, we felt so far from home but at the same time with the job done.

From there we made the long journey back home, in total about two months with a backpack to the man but that allowed to expand my mind to know.

The Middle East

One of my biggest dreams is to travel all over the world and meet new and exciting cultures. I have had the opportunity to visit countries like Peru and Ecuador and know the beauty of these people.

But my dream does not stay there. More than a country in particular I would like to know a region of the planet, the Middle East.

I believe that there arose the great civilizations that gave meaning to the world and that also keep amazing mysteries.

Through documentaries and photos and tried to draw a guide to travel, but every time I discover new things and my way takes another direction, in addition the constant armed conflicts in the region make it difficult to access them.

I hope to see a little of the beauty of its monuments before groups like ISIS end the architectural richness of those countries, where terrible images have already been shown in which the group ends with constructions with thousands of years of history.
