after a long trip from there to here im finally here,again on my way into the u.s i was question by imigration and the officer told me that the problem and why this always happens to me is because there is a couple of criminals look by imigration that have my name,besides having a criminal face dosent help either. but im here and im almost ready,nice change from santiago's rain to sunny san francisco
last night open the exhibition of hugo marin "reducirse al maximo" at the museo nacional de bellas artes that featured a wood panel painting by me done in one day,it was a lot of work but it was a pleasure,hugo is one of the most amazing sculptures in chile and with his 85 years, a real inspiration to any young artist ,it was great to see a man that old present a full show with recent work and a felt flatter to have such a mature artist ask for my participation in his show. so if you happen to be in santiago take a walk in la sala matta of the museum and enjoy the work of a really remarkable man and a modest attempt to come with a good painting for this show by me.
its great understanding a song, before i went to lived to united states and learn (partially) english there were all this songs that i heard and i never knew what was being said and somehow it didn't bothered me, i did wonder about it and i remember trying to guess the meaning of the songs,now i did guess pretty well for most of it,i think any kid in sudamerica does this,we have lived hearing english all the time,in songs ,movies,etc.. so sometimes i did understand like the main idea in songs but i was never sure and know that i do understand i realized i was most of the time mistaken
anyways this is one song im happy i can understand,before i always thought the lirics went like ...people closing in,people closing in,the in and out,the in and out the in the ouuuuttt!!!
