My blog experience

I have to admit, writing a blog wasn't something i liked at first. Mostly because it implies two things, one i don't think i'm really good at, and one i don't like: writing up a consistent text, and talking about myself. Anyway, i had to do it, and eventually it worked out pretty well.
I guess practice does help a lot, cause now i find it easier to do, i just write whatever comes to my head without complicating myself about it as i usually do about everything else.
And it was helpful as well. I was way out of practice with my english, mainly because i haven't got many chances to do so, and specially with the written part. I mean, speaking can be easier if you keep watching movies or listening music, because listening to others talk improves your vocabulary somehow, but writing? that's a totally different thing.
About the posts, the one i enjoyed the most was the one about Ken Robinson's video, it might seem weird, but i like the challenge of trying to understand what he says without subtitles, and trying to do it when that someone's got an accent it's kind of harder, and better.
On the opposite side, the one that took me some time, and that i wasn't really eager to do, was the photograph one, but that's for personal reasons that i don't feel like discussing right now.

A TV Show i watched as a child

"Steven Spielberg Presents Animaniacs", gotta admit i had no idea this was a Spielberg production along with "Tiny Toon Adventures", show that i also enjoyed by the way. I think it was in '98 or so when i used to watch it on T.V.
It is basically a half hour show per episode, and it includes a variety of characters with their own mini-shows inside. The main characters were the Warner brothers Yakko, Wakko and their sister Dot and in the beginning of every episode they explained where do they come from and why are they locked inside the studios water tank, and they manage to escape on the show's first episode.
I chose this cartoon among others i used to watch because i think many of the characters became world-wide known, and we still remember their names and typical phrases like "hola enfermera". Some of the shows inside it were Pinky and the Brain, two lab rats attempting to take over the world, that became so popular they even got their own show, Slappy Squirrel, Rita and Runt, Buttons and Mindy (actually hated Mindy because of all the things Buttons had to go through to protect her), Chicken Boo, Minerva Mink, The Goodfeathers and Katie Ka-Boom among others.
The show had references to popular American culture, songs, some violence and also some educational segments.
I'll leave you the first episode of the show, it is in Latin Spanish so enjoy!

Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity?

I think i´ve seen this video before, a couple of years ago, and i still think he couldn´t be more right.
I mean, there´s a reason why most kids don't really like school, and why would they? Ok, you need to learn math and language, but the way they try to teach you does not motivate anyone to learn, i remember when i was in school, my friends and i used to make up songs to remember vocabulary lessons, and it was more useful and fun, i still remember some of them. And i think now, it's probably the reason why i enjoyed english more than other subjects, and the reason why i'm kind of good at it too, because they used songs, sherlock holmes books, illustrated stories, and of course, because of the music i listen to and the movies and tv shows i like. 
Now, even though i chose a career that it's kind of related to art, and you're suposed to be creative and everything, i feel like that part is left aside, because for some teachers it's more important selling an idea, making a client happy, instead of encouraging you to make something different and new, something that could be considered art even when it's also trying to convince you to do or buy an idea or things you don't need. 

I´ll leave you this video that my boss sent me, it's a beautiful way to show us that the way we comunicate things can make an important difference, that we can always take something and give it a spin and make it better.
