Instructivo De Battleship

Confessions

In recent months I have become obsessive about writing and drawing.

writing and drawing all the time. I am passionate.

But sometimes I doubt the real value of the development of these arts. Dudas. Only questions.

found one answer in this message from a listener of the radio program "Planetarium", which leading journalist and writer Alejandro Ferreiro, where people interviewed culture environment.


One such Gerardo sent this:

"The writers think we are a rare species. We are rare types that we carry out an unusual task. Even when we occupy a small part of our time. While we admire those who feel unable to write even a letter.

identify the role writer may be too cocky. But that does not publish or anyone I know does not change this reality.

write. And write about what I live. And even if it is inventing things that look that tries to translate a reality or just a real speech, it's hard.

is like undressing in public. But in my case, although I think I've reached the point of becoming an exhibitionist, I like. I've been told that I have belly or I are going gray in the pubis, is a way to play, to say about life, about my pains, to what I think it is unfair. It is a way to have a discourse that goes beyond the banalities of the talk of work or family gatherings. And the best thing about is that you can have a metaphorical flight over in a difficult conversation. "


I believe in love, humor, to be solidarity, to live with good vibes and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. But I also believe that another look at that artist's vision.

is to see things from another point of view, not so simple, not so obvious. Embrace complexity. Analyze the poetic element of every minute and not the component merely rational, prudent, or humor of the situation.

You make art because dreams.

writing and drawing to exorcise my emotions and feelings.

There are many words, but not all worth it.

writing and drawing to cleanse my soul.

From a mediocre and simplistic view, you could say I'm crazy. I accept that. So may sound juvenile whim.

and I think I have 20 years writing and drawing for the rest of my life, but never give it up.

I am convinced that one must study and work, but also have to leave that door open always mysterious, magical, enchanting. That door that hides the artistic ideal, of dreams.

I think writing is a way exist, to transcend and replace my lack of presence and participation in life.

One plus one is much the same as most similar to what we dreamed of being.

the end, this is not meant to be more than a search.

-

pointless chatter,

Irrational frivolity.

my presence I am just

And to my silence, impatience.


warm voices bored.

so obvious, so simple.

Conduct servile

my soul will extinguish.


The laughter that hurt and

silence can not

find your flow.

cold tremor, I say goodbye.

Multiplication Table 1000x1000

And that's how it was: Walter Kronkite

In my career as a journalist, there were two world figures that one WalterCronkite1-799355 siempre trataba de admirar, tratando de modelar la carrera tras ellos. Uno era Rysard Kapucinsky , un reconocido reportero y escritor que prácticamente escribió el libro sobre periodismo integral y era un ejemplo a seguir en cuanto a su ética de trabajo, amén de haber educado a miles de jóvenes periodistas por la Fundación Nuevo Periodismo, creada por Gabriel García Márquez. Cuando el tío Kapu, como era cariñosamente llamado, murió en 2007, creo que sólo había un periodista con la misma clase de integridad, respeto y nobleza que él, aunque sin el reconocimiento mundial. Ayer, día de mi cumpleaños, a las 7:48 pm, hora de Nueva York, ese otro periodista murió at 92: Walter Cronkite . Perhaps

Venezuelans did not know so well, but Cronkite was often called "the most trusted man in America." Such was his image of journalistic integrity that was responsible for the term "anchor" to describe the narrator's main news or television news (imagine less politicized version of Leopoldo Castillo in Venezuela), a position he held in front of the news of CBS for 19 years. In these nearly two decades, Cronkite was witness-and sometimes poster-from some of the hardest moments in history: the assassination of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King , the arrival of man on the moon , the Vietnam War . Such was his influence and credibility, to convey scenes of daily combat in Vietnam during the newscast, and address the growing rejection of the population, President Lyndon Johnson said: "If I've lost Walter Cronkite, I've lost the American middle class. "

Now that Cronkite had been dismissed for good, I think it's a good time for us to ask how communicators really has lost the ethics of our profession, or how the situation has forced us to be more abrasive to the political situations the country. Cronkite, despite his stance against the war in Vietnam and drugs, never lost the respect he had even the politicians who criticized him. True, we are not the only ones who have to do our part, but, when really start to try to help turn the tables of intolerance in the country?

And that's the way it is.

I leave a few moments in the career of this extraordinary man. Rest in peace.

The hocks of culture

The hocks of culture

Surgeons, the tooth-puller, broadcasters, the journalists and theater actors who are, as everyone knows, the guiding spirit of philosophical opinion, have said a thousand times that the most striking feature of our time is speed.
Some sensitive people often complain bitterly about this, claiming that our existential gallops up too much dust.
they were right to put down these thinkers, willing to breath. But you have to say in defense of speed, there are times when it does not cause any harm and even helps make life a little better. For example, it is bad that the subway 20 minutes late between Chacarita and Leandro Alem instead of two hours.
not bad to reduce the delays of a plane going to Paris. And it is better to cure a fever two days in a year.
speed helps us speed up the bitter.

But this does not mean that we should always be fast.
In the good moments of life, rather it should be delayed.
It seems that to live wisely is to have more than one speed. Rush as annoying, slowing what is pleasant.
Among the things that seem Figure-inexplicably accelerated the acquisition of knowledge.

in recent years have appeared in our many institutes and establishments that teach things very quickly: do the high school in six months, come back in three weeks trade expert, avívese hit in five days, reaching the doctorate in ten minutes.
Many times I've imagined these courses in the form of a fast-motion film made with students tripping over in the hallways, toilet permits denied and chapters in the history grossly mutilated.

Chapter Six: the Phoenicians. The Phoenicians were a people of merchants and so forth. Chapter Seven: Greece. The Greeks invented tragedy, the caryatids, and so on. Chapter Twenty: The Contemporary Age. The Contemporary Age opens with the French Revolution and still following e, so.
estimate that the matter not so serious. I guess you try to achieve maximum mental concentration by the student. I also suppose that not waste time on nonsense. Anyway, I do not know if this is sufficient to reduce the learning time of a fifth. Perhaps the deletion of certain details. What details?

distrust

I have spent seven years of my life in primary schools, five high school and four in college.
And though I've wasted several hours pulling ink into the air, smoking in the bathroom or making droll rhymes, I can say that to learn the few skills that I had to use heavily dominated the thinker. And do not think any genius scroll in a while the road took me decades.

Why these little panic educational bloom? Perhaps the desire immediate reward people have. Nobody likes to wait. Everyone wants to harvest, even without seeding. It is an unfortunate feature that has accompanied the men for millennia.

Because of this feeling some are made jets. Others quit engineering to raise pool. Others are reluctant to read the comics that continue in the next issue.

For this same anxiety is that successful short stories, the tele unit, the take-away drinks, light ladies, singing contests, condensed books, knitting machines, blenders and generally, anything that saves us forward and allow us to get a lot of delivering little.

All we will have seen a prodigious number of individuals who wanted to be engineers, but do not support the trigonometric functions. Or who are dying to play guitar, but are not willing to lose a second in music theory. Or would have loved to read Dostoyevsky, but they seem very large books.

What we really want these guys to enjoy the benefits of each of these activities, without paying anything in return.
want the prestige and engineers earn twine, without going through the toils of study. They want to surprise your friends playing 'From the Soul' without knowing the scale of B minor. They want knowledgeable airs Russian literature without ever having opened a book.
Such attitudes should be encouraged, I think. Yet that is precisely what the ads Crash Courses anything. Undertake a sprint. Succeed quickly. Much money without any effort vento.
I do not like. I hate that promotes a desire for delivering much recently. And the less I like to drop the idea that knowledge is tedious and undesirable. No sir: to learn is beautiful and carries a lifetime.
really The guitar is destined to never ask how long reach to accompany the Zamba de Vargas. 'It never ends one of learning' says an old and amiable commonplace. And it is true, gentlemen, is true.

The courses are not taught

Here we must point out some exceptions. Not all learning disciplines are welcome. And some of them worth an acceleration. There are things to be learned in an instant.
Oblivion, without going away. I have known men who have been punished for years trying to forget petty ladies (so to speak). And I've seen many learned men take to drink because of girls that were not worth the price of first Campari.
these people would be nice to give courses in oblivion. Forget today, pay later. Well end up with such memorable villain that's been going around for the soul of the good people.

Another course would be very suitable humility. Usually need long decades of disappointments, frustrations and failures to understand that a man haughty rogue is not like him involved. All-the proud and their victims could save hundreds of excruciating episodes with a good system of instant humiliation.
Hay-well-accelerated courses have proven effective over the centuries. Such is the case of systems to teach what is good, to respect who you are, and so on. All courses begin with the phrase 'I'll teach' and end with a Slap. They are fast, effective and final.

Praise ignorance

The short courses and workshops we have been insulted to Throughout this booklet have their uses, do not deny it.
all know that many have missed the train of illustration and not by negligence. Everyone is entitled to recover the lost time. And ignorance is too much punishment for those who had a student who works as one. But others, success seekers quick and easy, do not deserve anyone's concern. Everything has its cost and who will not deal with it is a garronero of life. So anyone who does not feel up to live the wonderful adventure of learning, it is better not to learn.

Frequent hundreds of caring people, sensitive and full of virtue that thoroughly know the Pythagorean theorem. After all, it is better to be ignorant to be stupid. Moreover when stupidity is the product of poor education. Oscar Wilde was better than anyone this case illustrated the stupidity. 'Some men are full of opinions that are absolutely unable to understand one of them. " Irish was right.

I propose to all sincere lovers of knowledge prolongadísimos the establishment of courses, with ads in all newspapers and in subway stations.
Learn to play the flute in a hundred years.
Learn to live for a lifetime.
Learn. Do not promise anything, success or happiness, or money. Not even wisdom. Just learning the delicious surprises.
