Movies


As soon as I saw the topic "Movies" Titanic was the first thing that came through my mind. Why? I'm sure that I easily watched that movie more than 300 times because I had like this time in my life that I felt asleep watching that movie and if I wasn't watching the movie I would rather stay awake. I had 11 beta fish which were all named Jack, from Jack I to Jack XXI thanks to Leonardo DiCaprio's paper in the movie as Jack Dawson. I loved this movie so much, I loved the effects that James Cameron used because they where so advanced that I couldn't explain to myself how was the movie not real. It's effects are so advanced that 17 years later you still watch the movie and feel it's a premiere movie, because you look at it and you can't find even one detail. More that a movie, it's a piece of art, taking a real life event and turning it into a love story that you still can't manage to think it was just all a movie.

It's just a movie that shaped my early life, because since kid I loved movies that involved action, horror and suspense rather than kid movies. I have two bigger brothers that since always liked to creep me out with horror movies, and at a young age I realized that horror movies where nothing to fear about, and to this day I haven't watched a movie that scares me and I'd love to watch a movie that really scares me because I miss that feeling of watching a good horror movie and really getting scared by it.

A celebrity: Kelly Slater

At 42 years young, Kelly Slater sits as the best surfer of all time having 11 world titles under his belt. He is not only the best surfer in the world, but he is also a singer, a skater, an actor, has his own food brand and has his own clothing brand. In his surfing he has changed the sport from scratch. Back in the 90's he was considered "the future of surfing" being able to ride surfboards as short as no one did at that time and barreling in them like if he did it everyday. He was the rookie of the year on 1991 and on 1992 we won the ASP (Association of Surfing Professionals) World Tour because he was the best performer in all 11 contests that took place through the year, all this with just 20 years old making him the youngest world tour champion in the history of ASP. 22 years later and he still sits at the top of the ratings making him what almost everyone calls him "the best athlete in the world".

What I love about him is the way he thinks and realizes stuff. He is a realist person with a spirit to help others and spreads good vibes. He is really open minded to new ideas and has a vast knowledge of things because he travels every corner of the world and that creates intelligence in a person. He is probably the best surfer there is and that there will always be because he has no comparation to any other surfer and maybe to any other athlete. 42 years young and he still kicks the ass out of young surfers and he has also adapted to the new "aerial surfing" probably better that anyone else.

Media

We all need that daily dose of collective communication that technology brings us right? We are so used to it that we have created a dependence on information that media brings us.

Since the beginning of media communications they obviously have been used to communicate things that are interesting to consumers, but as time passed by, humans started using media more like a social control tool. We watch our local news and believe everything we see and hear on them, so government started looking at what they could do to use media towards their favor. Each day media turns worst, government controls a 100% of it and broadcast what they want us to know or believe. If they see that a new incident would create differences between government and people they just present a false side of it or nothing at all, they instead broadcast things that make no sense, just like when Britney shaved her head. At that time, war in Iraq was at its peak and we were just fascinated by how Britney was taking all over the news. Maybe government paid her to do that so media could ignore war and focus on her. There are so many possibilities of fake ideas because interests of media or interests over money. This is just capitalism at it's finest!

Why are there no advertisements about Lamborghini or Ferrari? Simply because persons that can afford one have no time to sit in front of a TV. So get your ass up and go search for something to do because we can always do something to make ourselves better.

Marriage

Anyone around you may be the love of your life, cause you feel a person is the love of your life multiple times throughout your life. So, think about how many times have you seen the love of your life and you don't know it.

Everyone should get married. It's the deepest and best feeling you'll have all your life. Well, it actually is if it is with the person you want to get married to, because marriage has faced many problems since the beginning of humanity; arranged marriages, same sex marriages, differences in religion, cultural problems or differences in age and many more. People may think these problems are things of the past we already left behind, but it's sadly not over. Humans fall in love with practically anyone, it's unpredictable. Marriage should be a thing between the two persons that are in love, no one else, no ideals else. Marriage is a thing of love between two humans so religion, cultures, parents... Let them be happy! Marriage shouldn't have any barriers, marriage should be as free as love itself. Love is the best feeling a person could feel and the best part is that it's free. So I believe marriage should be as free as the word, because if it's true love then there should be no limits to it. Let marriage be free, to everyone, every group, every religion. Marriage means the same to everyone, then, why not practice it that way?
