The World... Until then...

     The world... Ever thought how immense it is?  Does it goes further on then humanity?  Is it wider than the earth?  Could it be broader then all the constellations?  A lot of questions round the head of ourselves ( thinking beings), yet not all answers had been discovered.  We ought to fight for a better future, to have fun in live and to love our mates and blood brothers.  But, how about the truth?, indeed good question, but then again, what truth?  Every one has a motive within themselves to uncover.  Who is behind our every steps, thoughts,questions and answers?  To discover one must uncover, to uncover one must discover.  Had you ever persuade this feeling?

     Corrupted the world is because of our advance evolution.  The curiosity of creating new artifacts has blinded people.  Comfort has become humanities main attraction.  Do people fight? Yes, for their own stability and to stuff themselves thinking they're better than anyone else.  The " rulers" of the world had made some sort of spell so that everyone fall to their knees.  But, when economy ad social depression becomes more thiner it will end.  Caos will undergo our planet and far beyond it.  We have created ourselves this world and we are destined to destroy it.  To steal every bit of life that she ( Mother nature) has brought us.  Nature is revealing itself, but she isn't strong enought to fight with us, in fact in our solar system, we are the only thinking beings.  Others things react to impulses, like animals, also, like mother nature.  Oh!, but God ain't stupid he has let us created and desintegrate, further on, he has let us to do what we want.  But, we haven't take consciusness in that if we do what we want, we'll end up is the same train.  The destruction train.  Lost lams have we become.


     There's more!... A solution.  Own forgiveness is the solution, which will lead to love and love will carry the remaning blessings for us to be what we were... Humans!, because we can ask ourselves lots of questions, but until we understand that we are humans, not animals, and that we should be together as family, as a brotherhood... until then we will recover our loses.  Lost lams will get carry to their path again.  No hatred will overcome our minds... Only, just only... Until then.

The Destruction of Education.

Society has totally evolved and kids are more attracted to cybernetic knowledge.  What does this cause on them?  There are a lot of points which rely under the educational structure, but I'll only concentrate on one.  The teaching way of teachers to pre-scholars has become infected with virtual and, as previously mentioned, cybernetic ideas.  Nowadays, instead of teaching the child how to discover and prove his intelligence, these " teachers" are just making them " learn" with games, such as: words games, " guess the letter", or even, " guess the animal", etc.  It totally disconcerts me in a horrible way.  Education is not a game and it should be teach the right way.  I mean, if they keep going like this, when those kids grow up they will not take studies seriously and will not care about their future.  Like the saying says : " If you care about yourself, how will you care about any one's?  Technology has made us ( current generations) stronger, smarter, and powerful, but, what about the upcoming one's?  They'll be stupider, reckless, or even become tyrants.  Not that actual generations already are these kind of " things".

Getting rid of all the rage and discomfort these theme has brought me, it is really important for future parents to think well and be conscious about their child's future.  We must refine people's hearts so that humanity could have a better future and live as a society and not disastrous animals.  As finally, we most own the world like ours and not destroy it with insignificant things.  Life's a game where you decide whether to win, cheat or lose.  It's all up to you( yourself).  You want to make a change?  Start doing it and others will follow.  I already did!, what are you waiting for?

Her class, a diverse group of racially charged teenagers from different walks of life, such as: African Americans, Latinos, Asians, juvenile delinquents, gang members, and underprivileged students from poor neighborhoods that hope for nothing more than to make it through the day. On the surface, the only thing they share is their hatred for each other and the understanding that they are simply being warehoused in the educational system until they are old enough to disappear.

She brings in music from the "Hood", and literature from another kind of ghetto, "The Diary of Anne Frank", and with these simple tools she opens her students eyes to the experiences of those suffering intolerance throughout the world and the struggles of those outside their own communities. Knowing that every one of her students has a story to tell, Erin encourages them to keep a daily journal of their thoughts and experiences. After sharing their stories with one another, the students see their shared experience for the first time and open up to the idea that there are possibilities in life outside of making it to the age of eighteen.

     I would totally recommend this movie to anyone!  Is so soul refreshing! It teaches us human beings our weaknesses and how to surpass them.  The way in that describes our falls like victories, because when you get up, you do it, but in a stronger way than ever before.  Also, explains the way people stereotype this teenagers just by the way they look, dress and because of the places and conditions in that they live. This movie totally describes how this young society that has lived in deception, hatred and anger become a loving prospective group that learn to engage what comes at them and take the better of it, no matter how bad it looks.  In the situation of the teacher, she is was part of the society of " white people", but as soon as she accepted the challenge of teaching those kids and making them surpass themselves, she became to be rejected and not only by the teachers of the schools, but to by her husband.  He, that was the only person that gave her energy and the breath of going further on putted her away, but she doesnt' gives up and finds the energy and motivation upon herself, and her heart.  That's why I choose this movie.

Celebrity ( Carlos Santana).

 

    Born on July 20, 1947, in Autlán de Navarro, Mexico, Carlos Santana got to San Francisco in the 1960s, where he formed the "Santana Blues Band" in 1966. The band, later known as Santana, signed a contract with Columbia Records.  He was singer and guitarist and his full name is Carlos Augusto Alves Santana.  His father, Jose, was an accomplished professional violinist, and Carlos learned to play the guitar at age 8. In 1955, the family moved from Autlán de Navarro to Tijuana, the border city between Mexico and California.As a teenager, Santana began performing in Tijuana strip clubs, inspired by the American rock & roll and blues music.  In the early 1960s, Santana moved again with his family, this time to San Francisco, as I said before, where his father hoped to find work. He was also introduced to a variety of new musical influences, including jazz and international folk music, and witnessed the growing hippie movement centered in San Francisco in the 1960s. After years spent working as a dishwasher in a diner and playing for spare change on the streets, Santana decided to become a full-time musician. In 1966, he formed the Santana Blues Band, with fellow street musicians David Brown and Gregg Rolie (bassist and keyboard player, respectively).With their highly original blend of Latin-infused rock, jazz, blues, salsa and African rhythms, the band gained an immediate following on the "San Francisco club" scene. Their first album, Santana (1969), step by in the Top 10 single. Also in 1970, they went platinum, scoring two more hit singles, "Oye Como Va" and "Black Magic Woman." 

     A great musician which passed great horror through a childhood, that I will not describe, became one of my biggest inspiration on taking the challenge of learning the ways of art.  I'm to a musician and for us music is everything.  Just feeling the scratch of the strings with our fingers makes us forget about everything and move on in life.  It polishes us, bringing us closer to wisdom and maturity. When I open my mouth to sing the bitter situations of my life just seem to fly away and serenity takes over my talent improving it a thousand times every time.  Creativity and inspiration, the grand to sides which collide together to make the better of an artist.  Could you understand?  Yes! It's not that hard.  When you feel your heart full of rage and hatred and that special sometime comes and seeks the best of you, ripping the evil thoughts out of you... Only then, you will understand what we musicians feel when music... When that "woman" rescues us from death. 

     

Movement Through Communication ( Media).

     Media, the ideal concept which, defines the surroundings of Earth.  Since long ago humanity has been is search for the secret that could bring us together.  As the thinking creatures we are, an idea, of traveling far distances, emerged from our data base.  Wood shaped into columns and elements from nature combined making energy and voice communication travel faster.  To be more comfortable, we found a way to expand media by making communications accessible to people.  The first computer model, which occupied an entire four wall room, was made by the hand of men.  Here began what know a days had made us humans smarter, but lazy as well.  Television, one of our media benefits, has infatuated the population.  From my point of view, it works as a facilitator of information, but... What kind of?  Just like I said before, information, weather it is in the news or in reality shows.  The things is that they do teach sometime to people, the engineering factor is concentrated in funny things, which could include bad habits, like bullying.  T.s is affecting and has already affected the world in bad ways, even worse than viruses.  It has made us sensibly stupid, lazy and think that life isn't as hard as it's seems, since people think life is a fantasy thanks to all the lies presented on television. 

     Now, how about the cellphones?  It's cool that like, Oh my Gosh! I can hear another human through this little device, but almost nobody calls another person nowadays.  People just text and send pretty faces to themselves.  Therefore the demonstration of wide communication with little share of ideals and emotions, which, to me, defines true communication ( the share of ideals part).  Now there's Internet, the most surprising, widest, and dirtiest communication center in humanity, but ignored  it.  Why is this?  Surprising because you can find any source of information, benefit to the health, in every aspect, of our life style.  It's definitely wide cause of the big expansion that it has.  You could travel countries and cultures by just a " click", most definitely learning about others beliefs and type of life.  It is sure and accurate that media has leads us further into technology, but... Is technology going to teach you how to belief in yourself, respect and love? You tell me... what should be the answer?

Marriage Goes Further on Then Just Holding Hands.

     A man meets a woman, courage embraced the mans heart and the first was spoken. The woman with nervous words and with the beautiful brace that was entrusted in her voice, answers he's question.  A step closer in to the woman's heart the man gave and a future between two minds, two hearts and two souls began to be unfolded. Only a month took for the man to makes his move.  A kiss made by the hunger of love in each of their hearts sealed the respect and promise an impenetrable relationship most have.  Only a year passed away and as the man brought the most unbelievable smile to his partners lips, she, as well, made him happy cause of the respect and value she gave to him, their relationship and, even more, to herself.  Under the stars he knelled and an object as shiny as the recently polished gold contemplated within her eyes.  An even purer compound than the one found in rivers ran above her skin, she knelled as well, and as her arms formed an even tighter bond between them, a response was given : *whispering* "yes" into his ears, once again, a promised was sealed.  Covered in the finest white cotton treads she walked down the aisle and with the eyes of a new born he admire her precious and fascinating face and dress. Once again a year has passed by...

     Problems were the beginning of verbal damage between each other.  They forgot what to care for each was.  As partners, their confidence was almost destroyed.  She went to her grandmother to ask for advice and he went to the forest he visited as a child, within nature he found peace and able to think at his full potential he was. She asked to her grandmother: " How will I be able to repair my marriage? " and he as well, just by watching, asked the trees the same.  Her grandpa told her that a marriage is not about and " I ", but about an "us".  No new born can't walk without the push of his parents, a galaxy can't be called one without the unity of it's solar systems, no tree could grown big without the help of it's roots and no marriage can work without the love, respect and honor there should be between both of it's integrands.  As he admire the trees talking to the wind and showing their love by letting the wind take it's leafs and the wind refreshing the tree by going and cutting thought it, he watch how the sun send it's light so that those birds, squirrels and chimpanzees could appreciate with their eyes and see their loved partners.  He learned that by giving you'll receive even more than you would've take by asking.  The couple cried.  They ran to each other.  As she watch him thinking of rejection, he walked towards her with the intention of a deep hug.  He cleaned her tears as she did the same for him and for the last and first time... A passionate kiss sealed their souls in each others hearts and renovated love, with the start of that sparkle, began to shine. 

Dont't Teach Me to Believe... I"ll learn to. ( Religion)

     A certain point of view is inherited by every human being.  Some, by coincidence, think in the same way, others just differ in every aspect or in just some things.  I'll concentrate in the terminology of religion.  Humanity has involved itself around a constant culture.  Parents make their child's go to church and suck all of the knowledge that religion has to offer.  Maybe they do not have someone to leave their children to, but that doesn't mean your going to make your kid learn or believe in something he doesn't know about.  It has become a family tradition this one of introducing a child the hard way to religion. Haven't you asked what maybe gave origin to robs or delinquency? We are human and it's true that we make mistakes.  Not all of us think or reason the same way.  Maybe frustration, irritation, depression or even need got over your head and an awful act was committed. But who's fault is it? Of course is fault of the one that committed it, but in this case there's a cover behind.  When this delinquent was a child his parents made him go to church and concentrated more in that he got a "beautiful childhood" under God.  But, what this boy really needed was love and comprehension. I'm not saying that parents can't take their child's to church, just that if they take them just let them pass by and enjoy. In the future, when the kid matures he'll decide in what to believe in and in what to not.

     A portion of life (our soul) is entrusted in every and each of our hearts.  Humanity may think that religion has been made up just to separate the world from the religious faith.  But, that's wrong. Religion was brought to Earth to unify us as brothers and sisters and to learn and respect the brotherhood there should be between us. God died for a purpose and that purpose was, is and always will be to rest under his shoulders and comfort in his spirit.  We were suppose to bring order, peace and, more than anything, love to this grateful world. But, instead, we have brought envy, deception and hate.  Considering what the purpose of us in this place was, we have twisted it completely.  We've destroy what our God made for us.  The criticism and deception born in my thoughts is only the creation of what I've experienced through my spiritual life.  I only say that the world needs a revolution, a changed and a new climax for it to be a better place( if we don't destroy it before) and for someone to belief in God or anything else that person most mature and identify itself as someone, then that person will understand and choose in what to believe.  That's why religion mustn't be an obligation, but a passion.  Like i did.  No one teach me to believe. I believed and still do by myself.

From War to Walk.

     A reason, excuse, motive, etc. utilize to spread the hatred between brothers, sisters and family.  Every fraction of a second a war comes to an end and another one starts.  This may happen within countries, why? For power, money, territory and, even more, selfishness.  We humans have an more important war to face than these of the countries.  The war of our consciousness, about who we are and who we ought to be. Without  noticing it, everyday we strive for sometime.  It could be the love a girl, a goal you propose to yourself or the depression you have because of an unhappy event.  A fight with our inner us and soul clashes into a automatic system where we discover a precious answer that may be the solution for the problems we have and even the ones that we " think" we have.  War defines us.  Is one of the most describing terms we could possibly have.  But, why is that?  It demonstrates how sensible to stupidity we are,  how strong we can be when anger blinds us and, at the same time, how weak we are, cause of the lack of self control.  

Again, the temptation of human recognition leads to unrecognizable situations.  Closed up between the walls of the human brain lies the emitter of a life.  He who is capable of stopping war, not only his war, but maybe another persons war.  He's just sitting there thinking, doing nothing, trying to find answers, without noticing he's just creating new bombings in his territory.  A unknown creature ( consciousness) comes, lies around the lost man and makes him reconsider the idea about his surroundings, a pound in the center of the mans chest is heard and a human is born again.  In his two feet confidence is brought back again, it comes to him like a breeze of air.  A step is putted forward and the war comes to an end. 

Death : The Unstoppable, Unpredictable and Undesirable.

     Something unstoppable, unpredictable and, more than anything, something undesirable, that's what death is.  I see this term of "death" in a different point of view.  Why is that?  Because I'm religious person, specifically a protestant.  In my religion death is a blessing, because the person gets to be saved by God and live in paradise.  As a religious person is not easy to achieve this grace which will get me save.  There's a process involved and it is not easy to complete it.  The thing is that we can see death as an achievement, ( like in my case) a problem or even a solution for some people.  Why a solution? It may be because they have a desperate life, lots of financier problems and mental breakdowns. These could be three main reasons for someone to commit suicide and to finish with their unending " torture".  Death is something everybody is scared of.  Just by mentioning the word " death" any human being trembles into deep fear.

     Have you ever asked yourself : for what do we live if we are gonna die anyways?  We humans are evolving creatures.  We invent stuff, create new things everyday and have the most broad imagination ever.  Of course to keep balance in the world people must die.  Is a cycle where people die in order for others to live.   Death may be total and unending darkness for humanity.  A process in which your love ones are gone and teared apart from your heart in the fearless way you would've possibly imagine.  People may also be dead in live.  Why?  Well, because people suffer rejection, depression and loneliness.  Thanks to these situations that society puts people through it's why suicide has increased and so have depression.  Rejection leads to the creation of mind walls, which don't allow the person to interact with other people, likely defining the term of death in live.  Even from death a human can learn many things.  Like what?  Well, to have more love and appreciation for the people around you, to be stronger in hard live situation ( losing a family member) and even to have more courage through life, because we face death more than we can even imagine.  Everyday we are close to death and by every situation that passes through, 
death is closer to us. 

Happiness in Order of Freedom.

•      What is being happy?  Easily describe, being happy is to feel free, without weights on your back and, more than anything, alive.   I would say that in my case is easy.  I'm a happy person. I just love laughing and, even more, the feeling of love in me, which causes me laughter.  Like I told you in the beginning of this blog, I'm a musician.  Music is everything to me.  When I'm down,  music lifts me up and when I feel music is down in my heart, I just create a path where I fall in love with music and that love takes me to happiness again and every time.  For those of you that don't know, I lost my father when I was 9 years old.  Guess what brought a smile to my face.  Music! That's what brought happiness into my life.  I have a guitar and I've felt in love with her ( Nelly).  My instrument and I are more united than any cellular compartment in my body, although she's just an object.  When I feel the beat of music, the only thing I can do is smile.  What music says to me is so short, heart moving and breath taking, but so effective in my brain, soul and consciousness.  It is unexplainable what I feel.  I wish you could understand the love, which takes me to the happiness I feel every time music runs through my veins. 

                                 

                                               A little part of me.

•      My friend... You do not have to worry about anything. Happiness is something you yourself create, not something that someone brings you.  I may be confusing you, but look at it this way.  Love... When a person falls in love with you, the person goes to you and offers his/her love, but you don't take that love like that and done.  It's a process.  You start creating love which you share with that person that offered his/her love to you.  It's really the same with happiness.  People may bring you happiness, but if you don't created and believe it within yourself that happiness is going nowhere.  You have to be your own motivation.  Look at me... my guitar makes me happy... that's true... but, I'm really making myself happy, because I'm the one that makes the guitar sound, as beautiful, as I want her to sound.  The sounds that the strings of my instrument makes in perfect sync with my voice is the creation of my own motivation within my heart. When you are happy you tell the world that you're someone, that you don't care what anybody thinks of you and that the dark walls that had probably held you are broken and once again you're free; like the moon, shining through out the white tiles of a cloud; like a bird, flying again after it's fall; like the ocean, taking over the last pieces of earth left; like a sword,  slashing between anything in it's path; like the universe, without knowing it's beginning nor it's own end.  That's the way happiness works! In order of your own freedom!

What Runs through Your Veins, Reflects in Your Soul.

• Hi! My name is Jonathan Santana.  Currently, I'm a biology student at the University of Puerto Rico in Cayey.  Also, a musician and a singer. I play three instruments, these are : guitar, bass and piano, but the one I dominate the most is the bass.  Previously, I studied in a military school and at the same time in a music school, that how I became a musician.  Like I told you, I'm studying biology.  Why? It's simple.  I love nature, animals and more than anything the way in that our human body and mind works. 

• Another thing I do with my spear time is race.  What kind of races?  Car races.  I'm talking about real cars, although I only have my car. I've fell in love with speed and adrenaline. Obviously, precaution is the most important detail about this part of my life.  I know there's a certain time and place to do this kind of stuff with the necessary help, cooperation and people.  This kind of "sport" is about having fun and to demonstrate the limits of modern engineering, not to endangered the life of someone else.  Now you may ask yourself : What is he's purpose? or, Why does he expresses himself like this?  Easy, I've been assigned to write and discuss about certain themes, which my Prof. Iara Segarra gave to me. I won't do this assignment just because is worth a grade, I'll do it to open my heart ( not literally) and to shown everyone of my peers who I really am.
