We are pleased to receive in our virtual room to another of our friends. Born in 1979, racing journalist and writer by vocation. As he expresses himself to read your presentation on their profile, always attaches great value to develop quality relationships and ensure they are improving. This reveals a person of very deep thoughts and feelings. Following the introduction, here we begin:
1 .- As a writer, do you like writing?
I like writing about what I watch every day, what I find in my explorations of the world, so sometimes outline my views in a notebook and when I reread something that catches my attention, I add more words until they have a story. Other times, I will discuss my emotions and the rhymes are turning the corner into a poem. In fact, I try to express myself without having one particular genre.
2 .- Do you write about an idea or let you walk free pen on paper?
I tried several methods to stop writing what crosses your mind. I feel that most of the time I let the ideas flow without putting obstacles, but some very outrageous at first sound. However, I also happened to write something after him round and round. I think the important thing is to let the imagination and let it guide you along paths unpublished.
3 .- What does it mean to you to be in Escribeya.com?
For me it was a very rewarding experience being able to find people who are dedicated to writing for this medium. I've met friends from other countries with the same satisfaction of reading and writing, which I opened a huge window to feel part of a community beyond borders.
4 .- What country writers belong and what your country stands out more?
I proudly Mexican, born in the world's most populous capital. In my country I could mention writers like Juan Rulfo, Carlos Fuentes, José Emilio Pacheco, Juan Jose Arreola, Juan Garcia Ponce, José Agustín, Alfonso Reyes, Jaime Sabines, Gabriel Said, Alberto Chimal, Alberto Ruy Sanchez, Jorge Ibargüengoitia, Vicente Leñero Ricardo Garibay, Octavio Paz and many others who will not mention due to space, but like the above are fully recommended.
5 .- How, why and when you started writing?
I started writing when I was in college, but since I was in high school I did my attempts. Approaching Literature in the career of communication and journalism, I met many authors whose books I enjoyed reading. Also, I had good teachers of literature who managed to awaken my interest in literature. Thus, without realizing it, one day I knew that meant writing a habit in my life, which I could no longer deny.
6. Do you read? What kind of texts appeal to you most?
course I read every day and every hour. I read for work, but also for fun and curiosity. Catch me from the news reports, the chronicles of the day to scientific journals. Of course, I read anthologies of poetry, classic novels, but also new publications and essays on literature, culture and society.
7. - What do you do when you can not write?
When I can not write anything and I'm blocked, I used to hear music is to distract the obsessive mind. Another remedy is inevitable get to read what you have on hand to search for keywords that prompted me to turn over a new attempt to fill the blank. Going for a walk and walk without a fixed course is another good option.
8. - What is your favorite place at the time of writing?
I have three special sites, the first is my bed for the convenience, the second my studio, where I have everything you need to block out the distractions, which helps me concentrate and find the appropriate moment to write. The other is the roof of my house, if it is not raining or too cold.
9 .- What we say of folklore in your country?
Well, there are many things that separate Mexico from colorful landscapes, flora and fauna, its archaeological sites and monuments that are considered world heritage. Mexican music also has great exponents, like cinema or painting that highlights international Frida Kahlo. The traditions and customs also play a important in Mexican culture. In addition, food is very rich in typical dishes of all kinds, always with a touch spicy.
10 .- How do you define themselves, thinker or believer?
I mainly thinker, I like to think about the role we have in this era we live in, but I'm also a believer, a spiritual but not particularly religious.
11 .- Tell us something about yourself. How are you?
am a person with much imagination, sensitive and quiet by nature. Usually I try to keep the body, mind and spirit in balance. I am compassionate to those who deserve it and I like to defend noble causes. I tend to put myself in the shoes of others, so it makes me know the mood of those around me. I'm a changeable and flexible, because I immediately adapted to the circumstances. Whenever I have the need to express myself and make my most secret fantasies.
12 .- What are your dreams?
My main dream is to become professionally in the cultural field and then publish a series of books devoted to eroticism. Also recurring dream of living in a world without wars, without crime and without addiction. Other things you dream is to travel to Paris, Madrid and Berlin. Meet the pyramids of Egypt and meet Filipa Giordano.
13 .- How is made your family?
My parents, my brothers, my nine cousins, my five uncles, my two brothers and a pair of mischievous nephews. A maternal and paternal grandparents who have gone to a better life, even fondly remember and admiration.
14 .- What do you think of these interviews?
I find an ingenious way to bring those who make this community that is growing rapidly every day. It occurs to me it would be interesting in real time and that other members may ask questions at the same time, although I know that as a matter of days and hours is quite complicated.
15 .- What do you think Escribeya.com Free Forums?
anything there. Before I did not have much time to participate in them, but I recognize that from time to time they followed the track, especially when it appeared a call to compete, but I confess that I also witnessed ridiculous arguments where even lost respect. I think that some people choose to use them to disseminate valuable contributions and who they spend promoting their texts to exhaustion and creating sterile polemics.
16 .- What is the question that you did?
Who I'd like to meet in Escribeya.com
17 .- What if I do now the question?
I'd like to meet people of all faiths and cultures. Nature lovers and their peers. No deep-seated prejudices and racism nonsense. Travelers who seek new experiences to treasure. In short, fans of art in all its manifestations, who like to share their likes and his dislikes.
18 .- What do you think the world we see coming?
see a perspective where the differences are stressed, life is expensive and equality of opportunity is limited, where human rights are violated and politicians continue their theater of deception. On the other hand, it is a changing world, with many advances in the technology field, with amazing scientific discoveries and innovations resulting from all measures that fancied a few years ago unthinkable. Broadly speaking, we live in a situation in which the commitments of governments and cultural development cooperation of the companies will determine our immediate future.
19 .- We would like ask you to leave a message to colleagues.
Sure, with pleasure. All I ask colleagues not to let your dreams die, they persist in the daily struggle that the letters fall under their own weight, but many say that with the wind. We would continue to participate in this great community of letters, because writing is an emotional therapy, an exorcism of our inner ghosts and a rich incentive to exist. If someone tries to divert the road, turn around and give steps around to continue your own journey. It's hard the way and as I said once, this is an office of uncertainties, but well worth it.
Alejandro
Thanks for your presence today in our virtual room. Thank you for your warmth when answering questions. Thank you, thank you very much.
What exactly is gay literature? Mileage could be an inventory of writers who have addressed the issue explicitly gay novels, poems and essays published over time. Sappho, Oscar Wilde, Federico García Lorca and Salvador Novo are some of the most famous but never, to my knowledge, claimed a personal space that was not the literary.
Until recently, he had to overcome many difficulties before finding texts that talk about it. Now specialist bookshops have been responsible for placing a gay corner within their shelves. However, the only thing that reveals this is the unbridled desire we have for the classifications, although they have some benefit in the management of the world, moreover seriously distort reality and simplified in the extreme.
When Marguerite Yourcenar wrote "Alexis or the treaty to combat useless, for example, spoke clearly a major problem: the authenticity of the homosexual. Did he at some point that it was homosexual literature? Of course not. Just wrote literature. Marguerite wrote and he did splendidly pure literary vocation. If she spoke of this condition was because he intimately touched and willed it so.
was addressed to all and not a particular ghetto. He had only to do nothing more. In this sense, oddly enough the issue will always be secondary. A poet said one day he questioned his acquaintances to know that sexuality was writing poems. And is that many people is wrong to relate the sensitivity of the writer with the chance of being homosexual, a fact that only exemplifies the prejudices that in the XXI century we still live.
When we talk about literature, talk about obsessive and passionate stories fictional character whose mirror feeds broken a reality marked by injustice, abuses, inequality and widespread discrimination. Because even that which is monstrous In view of the "good conscience" should be in literature.
In she always has human experience as is "without palliative or false moralizing. Therefore, shows that the labels are unnecessary. As Seneca said , p mean to bother with the truth than please with adulation. So if I want to write about this I do, period. And for everyone, without exception.
It is no discovery that many consider García Márquez his favorite writer. From beauty queens in pageants Cartagena to the connoisseurs of literature, have been repeated so much that it has become a refrain in a while.
Maybe that's why, the Nobel is always seen in its niche of celebrity and all your friends seem common unconditional locate them there. However, this practice has prevailed since the day he published One Hundred Years of Solitude today, because it responds to the rare condition with his books, which boast of being both sales success and good pieces of literature.
usually happens in publishing a book to sell much without returning to repeat the feat, or where appropriate, successfully sold a number of titles of literature "cheap" for the same author. But also good popular, if only García Márquez.
Gabo, as he began to call in Mexico when he was a young talent that few knew, goes a step further in creating what may well be his final monument.
When life is a novel and the least we can do is tell it, García Márquez published again. Condensed unforgettable over five hundred pages, the autobiography of the Colombian writer emerges as a cult book on arrival at the hands of its readers.
With the release of Live to Tell, published by Editorial Diana, completes its path to arouse great excitement, curiosity and even an expectation of joy that rarely has been in the world of literature.
is neither more nor less, something that is beyond what any writer of our time we can give. With this work, Gabo offers a bunch of images and anecdotes that are part of the legend he has built around him.
After wetting your fingers around the last page, the sum of his memories allow us to situate next to the author to be complicit in this journey of events, which mocked the countless obstacles that tried to prevent destiny as a man of letters.
Let
scan as soon as possible without remorse the mythical past of his life documented opens today full of bygone times renewed by the miracle of memory. Those who follow his path with admiration endorse the evocative magic that his latest book contains.
Although the chorus seems to have so often repeated, García Márquez occupies the most important of the English language and will have to wait probably other times to have someone to measure it in its proper dimension.
always wanted to carry out this small obsession. Filming while they made love, break the lines of his body into infinite pieces and then project them onto the screen as you will. Sleep Like Andy Warhol, but not be the complete journey of a night's sleep. Using a camera to catch the movement of breath, a camera eager to absorb the change of the pores.
jump into the screen and let you take hold of everything you find. Need a woman who is a hundred women, pictures of the woman who shine as October, reflections on where you to sit in the evenings. She covers your thoughts like a cloud endless.
She sits back and soft edges of her body are emphasized by the light of the screen. Contemplate that conjunction of bodies to your liking, she is naked and weather in your eyes to examine without trouble that the concave lukewarmness open up to the thighs, thinner than you see when she sits on top of you, with its wet trails, too submissive to the touch.
legs set it apart deftly, it shows in the picture, and stroke it with your tongue at the burning bowl that never satisfied, and although the screen reveals the frictions You can not restrain a sigh with pleasure.
Finally women now belong to you completely, you can do whatever you want with her erect nipples tattooed on his flesh until an indelible mark and then contemplate when you want. The movement on the screen radiate a primitive sexuality, with a strong animal smell. There is so much weight of reality in the image your senses seem to have escaped in the same video, and if it did not have a woman trapped in your camera, if you could not play it whenever you feel like on the TV maybe you could not bring it to you, or close to the folds of the body that belongs to you more and more as you hear it when accelerating infinitely breathing movements.
Then freeze the image and enlarge it to save a thousand times multiplied and have it always at your fingertips. Feeling lonely at the top of the bed and watching TV trying to have his picture again, resuming the performance that only you know.
This apparent game allows you to draw out a new type of expression, view the video as if it were a stage show that the succession of frames per second is refined into an art increasingly closer to everyday life, distinguishing her unexpected and unplanned nature of representation. Low volume on the TV and feel like its full of excitement groans create resonances and tones that fill the space with its own spirit. The result experiment with this kind of performance casts traditional elements that lead you to want to break the physical borders can not be transferred, hallucinating a powerful interaction between them.
The effect of the acceleration of the image is perfect and unreality is awakened in you, stretch out their hands to touch your wife but you know that your body is just a drawing of light odorless, tasteless, and once you'll have to tell you everything you've done with these images and all those images you have. Turn off the camera, your fingers are shaking.
Recent weeks have seen a heavy bombardment over the flu, especially when the World Health of raised its warning. However, official figures confirmed cases of the virus, indicate that we are far from a pandemic of large dimensions.
The natural tendency for survival has led us to tolerate the restrictions in order to feel safer, but the main question should be whether they really deserve the extreme measures that have taken not only in Mexico City, but in many other cities in the world. The only thing that has been generated, it is an epidemic of misinformation that far from helping, causing major doubts.
The reason to distrust of what appears in the media is elemental, it is unfortunate return to the times in which distorts the logic in the inventions of an imminent threat without any factual basis. The President and the Chief of the Federal District have underestimated the common sense of society. Thus, actions have been implemented that have affected the country, which only show a remarkable inability to handle the situation.
We saw where they led the privatization of banks, other than a few invisible pandemic affecting the lives of more than 6 billion people on the planet. Neoliberal fraud predatory banking nationalization led to the invisible must be subsidized by the victims, that is, for all its beneficiaries.
Meanwhile, the governors of the states are fighting the political leadership, and to promote panic in the people through radio and television, when you find out you have been deceived , will exhibit an outrage that it accumulates in all strata. Thus, we can not let ourselves be overcome by hysteria, nor that we should fall into the skepticism that results in the theory of an international plot.
However, it seems that the PAN government is toying with the Mexican intelligence while leveraging the fear that has been produced to make decisions that are not designed for their common benefit. The time will come that have to be accountable to the people they have been manipulating, diverting attention because an epidemic will cost dearly unlikely political parties and leaders.
On the other hand, if we look at the plagues that have swept us through the years, we see that have been more deadly and yet they have survived, though not without difficulties: I mean poverty, corruption, the consequences of global warming, earthquakes, floods and the economic crisis appellants.
