Someone you would like to meet

It was kind of hard to just pick one person that I'd love to meet, I thought of Kurt Cobain, Freddie Mercury among others, but then i decided to pick someone that's still alive.
So i chose Jared Leto, he is an actor, singer, songwriter, front man of a band called "30 seconds to mars" where he also plays guitar, bass, piano, and he has directed and produced some of the band's videos under the name of "Bartholomew Cubbins". So as you can see, he would be a really interesting person to meet, leaving the handsome part aside.

He is a very dedicated (a little bit obsessive) professional, he has been in movies like Urban Legend, Fight Club, Requiem for a Dream, Lord of War, etc, and he has no problem with changing the way he looks for a role, for example, he gained more than 30 k. to play John Lennon's killer in "Chapter 27" and recently he lost weight to play the role of a HIV-positive transsexual woman in a movie called "the Dallas Buyers Club" as you can see in these pictures taken by photographer Terry Richardson.


He has won many awards, as an actor, a musician, director, and also for being the "Sexiest Men", but in between all of this, he and his band have helped many organizations such as Habitat for Humanity and J/P Haitian Relief Organization, being Haiti a real concern for them, specially after the earthquake, also he has supported causes to stop animal cruelty and they released a website called http://www.abeautifullie.org/ were you can find information and ways to participate in environmental activities or donate to the Natural Resources Defense Council.

I'll leave you a video directed by Jared, and as pretty much all of their videos, it is like a short film, this is the first one he directed, and the first one i saw, it´s based on "The Shining" movie.

A place to eat

Hi everyone! I'm going to talk about this place, it's not exactly a restaurant, but my friends and I became addicted to it nearly two weeks ago. It's called "Cinnabon" and they sell mainly cinnamon rolls. This one specifically it's inside Costanera Center, on the top floor and as i was looking for it's website i found out it hasn't been in our country for long (last year or so), but it's very famous all over the globe.
What you see in the picture are "Pecanbon" and the drinks are called "Chillattas", frozen beverages, juice with a lot of ice, and cream, etc. Really good i must add, and coming from me, that's saying a lot, cause i don't like eating many things (don't know if there is a word for that in English, in Spanish would be "mañosa").
Anyway, they are basically a warm dough filled with cinnamon topped with cream cheese frosting, and there are others with walnut, caramel and chocolate. As for the price, they are not expensive at all, about $2000 CLP the one in the picture, and it's the biggest one. 
So if you are looking for something different to eat, at a reasonable price, this is definitely a good option.
