Christmas Time (Don't let the bells end)

I love "The Darkness" and I think that the song and the video are very funny. Christmas n' Roll =)

My Christmas

Last Saturday night I celebrate Christmas night in my house in Los Andes with my parents, my brother, my sister, my aunt and my cousins. My parents and my grandparents are Catholics so they went to the church meanwhile my sister and me; we were fixing the last details of the dinner. We decorate the table with flowers and candles, it was very beautiful. My grandmother cooked the dinner; she is such a professional in the kitchen. She prepares beef, turkey and many delicious salads and for dessert an appetizing berries bavaroise. On the table we share some experiences with the family, because we don’t get together often, especially with my cousin and my grandparents who don’t live in Los Andes. After the dinner I took my little cousin and we went to looking for Santa and when we return to the house, the Christmas tree was empty of presents. Meanwhile the kids were open their presents, the rest of the family were drinking champagne, wine except me and my sister that we drank beer. After the family celebration I went to my best friend house, and there we meet with other friends and we share a good time together.

One on one with Al Pacino

Al Pacino is one of the greatest actors in the history. His real name is Alfred James Pacino; he was born on April 25, of 1940 in the city of New York, United States. Today he is 71 years old and is dedicated to the direction, screenwriter and to produce films. He started smoking at age nine, and began drinking and smoking marijuana at age 13, but never took hard drugs. Pacino left the school and his house when he was so young, then he started to job to save money for finance his acting studies. Alfred successfully auditioned for the Actors Studio, an important organization for professional actors, theatre directors and playwrights in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. In his career, he had has performed many times the mobster character, having a big success, bringing the fame and recognition to him.

I think that Al Pacino is the best actor of the world; his movies are a classic film that nobody has to die without watch them. His talent is so clear to see, everyone just have to look his participation in “The Godfather” or in Scent of Woman and will be fall at his feet.

If I had the opportunity I would ask him “what does it feels to embody one of the most famous mobster characters of the world?”, “what of all the characters  that you have interpreted, is your favorite?” “How does it feel to embody a blind man?”

A song from the past

I always remember when I was child, every weekend my dad put out loud music when he and my mom were cleaning the house. I guess he is the fan number one of the band “The Police”, and it was what I heard every weekend. “Wrapped around your finger” is the name of the song that I usually sang with my dad, and we used to take some brooms and we play them like a guitar. I think that then I had six or seven years old and while we were singing, my mother was taking some pictures. It reminds me good times, because at these days I had no more worries than eat and smile, and everything else was concern of my parents.

Today The Police is one of my favorite bands, even though they have separated. I think that good music should not be forgotten. Now that I’m bigger I can understand what I was singing when I was child, because then I just said things in a strange language (My own strange English). Now I’m still listening to the song and I love the music video where Sting is singing and jumping between hundreds of burning candles.

My favourite Outdoor Activity

When I was a child my family used to plan some outdoor activities, like ride on bike, picnic, play volley, etc.  But my favorite one still is climb a hill near to my house, in Los Andes.  I like it because is a good opportunity to share with my brother, my sister, sometimes my dad and my dogs (they love it). Also because I love the nature and climbing I can see a lot of vegetation and some rabbits that appear on my way.  When we started to do it when we were a kids, around 6-7 years old, and we like it because we felt like Indiana Jones or something similar.  Now we do it once in a month, because we all have to do other things that spend time, overall me, because I just travel to my house on weekends, but my sister practice it everyday. Before leave the house we prepare our bags with some food and water.  It is so funny because all the people look at us because we look so ridiculous with a poodle dog each one.
