Post 7: Let's talk about money

For people who live in towns and cities it's impossible not thinking about the money. Our culture -a little bit fascist and a little bit capitalist- is designed  and built from the idea of getting money. I hate when other artists tell me "I study art because I don't want money". That bullshit is a cancer seed of postmodernism. Today, art is an easy way for the people who don't want this society but are to frustrated or are to lazy to do anything to change it. And they always say: "No, brother we don't need money to live". Of course, if you give a step away from the culture you live, if you go to the country or the mountain alone or with a little group of people, you don't need money. But to change the things inside the city. To win an election, to organize a country and be an option which can confront the institutions that imposes us, you need to control money.
I am horrible with money. I can't save it. It's difficult to me. When I go out with friends, if the don't have money, I buy whatever we need to have a great evening (I know they do the same thing for me). I never know how much money I have (how much money I don't have rather jejeje). If I have to pawn some thing I would probably pawn my old computer. If I were a millionare I would like to be batman... But to help the people who need me... not the enterprises that Bruce Wayne protects.

Post 6: I'm not that green

Well... I'v always been in a way next to the way of enviromentalism but not in the same. Since I remember, I usually cares about where I put my rubbish. At least my unnatural rubbish: plastic, and in general everything that is to much procesesd
Since I have been in the university I have known a lot of people that have made the enviromentalism as a way of life: from people that is used to recycle their materials or people that started to use the bicycle instead of the public transport, to people who works in eco-organizations and elavorates political solutions and proposals to make this country and this university a place more friendly with the enviorment.
As I was saying in the begining, all this people that I have met, makes me walk at least in the same direction than them. I prefer the bicycle to go all over Santiago. (Sadly, my bike was steal one year ago). I always try to use the recyclebins and it is strange that I just drop it on the ground.
But is not a topic in my one priority. I have had the oportunity to buy a new bike, but in stead of that I have bought music devices like my new notebook or my soundinterface.

Probably I will never be vegetarian or vegan by the way.

5. My future job

I dont know where will I work in the future.
This  year, I have try a lot of things that I could do:
I have teached music to a kid, wich is an activity that refresh my from the boring days of the week. It gaves me new energy. Every time he learns something that I teach him, the spark of his eyes turns into happynes for both of us.
 This have been I have made music for a dance solo, this is a little bit boring, but support the work of a partner is great to!
I'm learning to program electronic music. This is one of the most intresting things I'm doing now. I'm using electronic music in diferent ways of my compositions and it's a world faaaaar away from the instruments I have used in my previous works.
I really don't know where will I end. I accualy thinks of my self like a good teacher, but if now somebody ask me what i would like to do right now, I probably would answer that I'm interested in making music with electronic objects and create resounding-instalations. Probably I will keep studying for a while.
