When I will be 32 years old.

Such as any week, this Thursday I have to write in my blog. Well, also I want to do it...obviously!
The topic today is focus in this question: what I want to be when I will be 32 years old (10 years more because I have 22 years old now)?
This question is commonly elaborated by my family...and my mother ask me about that when I began my university career. Always when I heard this question I prefer not try to answer in right or say the really really true. But now I could try to be accurate. 
I think that 10 years is to much time to planning the future but I have a clear: I would like feeling young at 32 years old. Many people convert their young spirit into a old behavior. I don´t want this route guided by job and other concerns linked with the logical of getting money. I want to be a young student like now and continue in the way of carnivals, parties, etc. This answer is so obviously but in my case I´m sure that I want it. In fact, I will do all the things that I need to achieve this aim. At 32 years old I believe that will be accompanied with my actual girlfriend because I´m sure she is remaining young such as I want for me.
When I will be 32 years old I hope not only be careful with my young spirit but also related with young people through education. I want to be a teacher, a geography teacher sure! In Chile, geography is not a career focused on education but I think that in future the geographical knowledge will be valuable for educational establishments. One option is life in Valdivia where my parents but the importance of the place where I want to life is less than other things like job, girlfriend, etc. For be clear: this things are the main conditions to choose the place to life. If I have to forget Valdivia...well, I have to accept it.    

bye,
see you in class,
IVO.

Street art!

My favourite kind of art is graffiti although I recognize that I'm not very fan of graffiti and neither type of visual art. For me, graffiti is a very important expression of the life street; in fact, it´s street art. Through graffiti we can see social practices of the urban life and we can understand part of this culture. Often is related with periphery zones and marginalized people, but I think that in Chile it´s not always in this way. I think that is real the link between graffiti and hip-hop movement in this country but not necessarily involves marginalized people. Well, is my opinion (100). I have some friends that make graffitis in Santiago and I have accompany to take pictures. As like it´s a ilegal practices I have to be a fast photographer. But telling you the true: I´ve never made graffitis in the street...frequently I want to go to a wall and draw anything or write a message for the people whom is walking.
Well, if I have to choose a piece of street art that I prefer...I should choose some work of Picunches, a group of graffs that draw in Santiago, principally in Recoleta. Also they are part of a hip hop net that are in "moving" and creating good works of visual and musical art. Like graffitis not always are transformed to pictures and put on internet, is difficult for me show the best pieces or my real preferences. Nevertheless, I found a picture of a good graff...and I consider it could be the graff that I should choose.
Then: my favourite kind of art is street art and my favourite piece of this is a graff made by Picunches, a collective authors.
I think it could be interesting for you,
bye my dear!
