Russia and the B side of World Cup

Personally, I could consider myself a "football fan" although I prefer play it that watch it, but this don't means that I not wait for the great tournaments like the "UEFA Champions league", "Copa América" or the prestigious league "Premier league", but of all of the tournaments already named, my favourite and the one that I most expect is the "FIFA World Cup".

However as much as I like this sport, this doesn't remove that like various other disciplines have its bad side, for example: fans fight ("Hooligans", "Barras Bravas", etc), the use that give some business owners to the football clubs and associations for money laundering, and the most recent case, hide social problematics behind the frenzy that events like the FIFA World Cup generates.

The last problem can see materialized in Russia (current host of the World Cup) and the Vladímir Putin's project for increase the age of retirement, in five years for the mans and eight years for the womens, in the middle of tournament. Even so this project don't passed unperceived because after five days of have done public the approbation of the step, the platform "Change.org" collected more than 1.110.000 signatures.

This serie was created by Raphael Bob-Waksberg and produced by Netflix and is an adult animated comedy-drama with episodes of approximately 20 minutes of duration. When I start to watching Bojack I expected it to be a serie focused especially in the humor, but beyond the humorous content, which are mainly satires and sarcasm, this serie try to delve into the life of a retired Hollywood actor (Bojack Horseman) and his internal conflicts. The serie explore themes like the excesses, insecurity, self-sabotage and work addiction, this themes are incarnated in the diverse characters, every one of them. Respect to the characters they are divided between humans and anthropomorphic animals, every one of the main characters have. My favorite character is Mr. Peanutbutter, a yellow Labrador retriever that Bojack apparently hates being as looks like h...

Blog #5 My grandmother

Today I wanna talk about one of the  persons that I more love in my family, my maternal grandmother. I think that the majority of persons who have a good relationship with their grandmother’s love’s her (I repeat, I think, I can’t talk for everyone). For this reason today I wanna talk about my maternal grandmother. Her name is Emilia with my mother and my other grandma is one of the woman’s that I admire most in the world. I admire her for many reasons, for example when I was a child I spend a lot of time with her when my parents were working, thank to this I received great parts of my “values and principles” from her, like don’t let anyone pass over me and the respect for people different to me. Something curious and that always make me reflect is when my mom says that if my grandma was born in this time would be a feminist leader in university or active participant because even when she got married very young, she never depends of my grandfather, she worked for his part...
