They don't know how to teach

The thing about teaching architecture is that there is not a teacher of architecture. I'm not saying that they aren't good profesional in their areas, but that doesn't mean that they know how to teach.

The workshop's hour of class are not even classes, i can count every hour that i have recived as an "architecture class" with one hand and for sure i'll not need all my finger.

All we do in workshop class is take an assignment, make a list of what they want and use all of our time out of college to kill our brains, reading, thinking drawing, modeling. Whatever it could be what they said even if you didn't understand, to be punctual the very next sesion, hopping that everything you did it wasn't a waste of time. Using all the time of the class to do a close-door correction of our work while we are waiting to have the results. And that's it, over and over. Is a very toxic relationship.

Said that, if i ever consider the posibility to be a workshop teacher, this will be the first thing that i would change. I would make my students to work on the class assigned, looking what are they doing, answering their questions, developing the projects as much as they can in class so when they have to work in their houses it'll be much less stressful.

If the faculty of architecture and urbanism wants to improve the way of how architects are looking to the world they need to change how they are teacging it first.

We are just dust wainting to be cleaned...

Is human activity a substantial cause of global climate change? Well i consider that we can't do that much to make a big diference in the climate change. Yes we are polluting the seas and chopping trees as maniacs, but, we are too small to think that the global warming is our fault.

First of all, climate changes had happen from the start of this piece dirt. The dinosaurs and other kind of species went down to extintion because of climate changes, the earth got freezed several times with out the help of any living been. It is an inevitable cicle.

Another reason is that the earth it's to big to think that we are doing something to provoke such changes. It is too egocentric to have the idea that we are making colapse an entire planet. The thing that are we doing is helping in a fraction to this changes. Polluting the air and the seas, making the earth less fertile, and so. It's no even meaningful, we are just too small. If we ever stop to use fosil fuels and go full green using bicicles. The global warming will continue his way, the ice would melt anyways.

I think that we should be prepared to this changes, making more efficent ways to produce energy, food, water and tecnology. Because we can't stop the climate change, it'll come more early than late. The annihilation it's a barrier that every living creature has to overcome and we are not going be the exception.

To be or not to...

If i have to choose a career, that would be photography, documental photography to be more precise.

I remmember that my father had a reflex camera, and i always found my self playing with it. But he never let me use it to take pictures, he always said that it was to expensive for childrens. So he never help me to develop any skill on it and i kind of lost interest on that matter, till i was able to buy my first camera. It was a panasonic GX1, a really small compact digital camera. Since then i fell in love with photography and started to "add another string to my bow".

 I would really like to work as a photographer, in weddings, events, photo journalist style. So it'll be more focus on outdoors, because i like to work with natural light.

 Also, you can meet a lot of people and storys working with artist, models, families and diferent places of course. 

But the money has always been something that haunted my soul, i'm not really interested in to be rich, but i know how this world works, and i hate it. So while i could manage to make a living with photography, it would be nice.

When i finish architecture, maybe i'll focus on get in a job related to photography, and perhaps study photography as a second career. You don't know what will happen in the future so i don't want to make all my bets on one specific area.

The laying being

I haven't expirience that much of paranormal activities in my life. But when i was 13 in a random day, after several weeks after my grand father died. I decided to open the door of his bedroom, he died in a very sad way by an infection in his leg that never healed because he had diabetes.
When i went to his room, the door was already open. I stepped right out side of it to get a look but it was very dark, the light coming from outside barely touched the floor and some parts of the bed.
Something pulled my will and proced to walk inside of the room, i turned on the lights. But nothing was in there, i spended a few minutes in there till i get bored. But, when i was going out, i felt the springs of the bed making a noise. My head turned to look the bed and i saw him, a dark silhouette with white eyes looking right throught my soul. It was under the sheets with his head and i think was his arm hanging from the side of the bed.
I was freezed in there, and freaked out after i heard him moaning. I fell in to my butt and then run as fast as i could in silence until i found my mom. I told her what i saw, and she belived me (I think). So we went again to my grand father's bedroom to prove if my imagination was doing something weird. But when we arrived there, the bed of my grand dad was a mess, as if something or someone used it.
My mother said to me that it could be him, because he died in his bed. So i wasn't that afraid after that. Some time later he appeard in front of me in the corridor, moving to the main door and then he vanished right away. I think he finally left the hous,e because it was the last time that i felt his presence.

Lemmy's day

If i have to choose the best concert that i had attended, with out hesitate, i would think about motorhead's concert on 2011. The ticket for the concert was given to me as a gift from a very close person, she knew that the 2011's version of me was waiting for that concert to happen. The best gift ever.

It was a very fun day, my best friend Gabriel went to the event too, but we had different locations. His ticket was located to a side of the stage while mine was in the arena. We didn’t bother about it so we proced to to buy some drinks to get started. We bought some cans and tried to hide them in our clothes. It was very cold that day so we were wearing some slack hoodies, it wasn’t hard to sneak the cans throught the security.

Finally inside, i told my friend that he had to find a way to get in the arena. He said “hold my beers” and he literally gave me all the beer cans. We Split our path at the gates, and i didn’t see him ‘till the concert was about to start. The last band was finishing their last song while i saw my friend making signals at me from the gallery. I knew that he was going to jump down, and the guard was watching him. I needed to help him somehow, so i blocked the way of a secutiry guard crashing him anf blaming him while he was making the jump. He used the crow to get out of sight. I tried to search him for a moment and when i finally meet him. The ace of spades’s intro started, just in time i pulled out the beers from the clothes and then enjoy the concert.

Japanese cities

I have always been a city person, and don't get me wrong, i like nature, i like how the trees move with the wind, how the mountains chage their colors in every season and how the sea crushes the rocks on the coast. But to be honest, i get bored very quick of it, i love the movement of the city, the colors of the lights in a never sleeping metropolis and the amount of activities that you can do. 
Since i'm studing architecture, i have been amazed with the japanese cities. I wanna see their structures, taste their food and their life style, i don't know why, but people says that the sushi of Japan is totally different. If i have the chance, i'd like to study or make my professional practice in Tokyo, the neon city. Also, i'd like to go to the Nagazaki memorial museum. Or maybe go to Kyoto and take some pictures of their old temples. I don't remmember now what i can add to the list of things that i want to do there, but surely new thing will be added when i get there. Hopefully.
