there you are!


On summer I was having a random chat with a friend and out of a joke I end up at Chiloé; 1200km away from my house.

friend: how has the city treated you?

me: has been a nigthmare, it is so freaking hot. I suppose you’re having a god time dealing with the cold at your island.

friend: jajajajajajaja, actually it has been pretty hot these days too.

me: jajajaja yeah, sure. I check the weather, there is like 20° in your island.

friend: that’s for you… The people in here are panicking.

me: I should go to your island and stay forever, so I will never feel a summer like this again.

friend: jjajajajajaja you should come, I’m taking some days off the next week.

me: oh, really? Look at that! it sounds interesting. Don’t say something from what you could regret in the future, I take these proposals quite seriously.
friend: jajajajaja I won’t.

me: … ok. I already buy the plain tickets. See on Monday.

friend: O_O

My mom was the most excited about the trip, she called me like 10 times before I took the plain, and text me until my phone lost the signal. The flight was pretty short and I travel in the afternoon, so I didn’t have many time to sleep and I didn’t feel like sleeping; I took pictures instead.

Since the plain leave the airport I start counting the rivers, I had one picture in mind. The first one Mapocho, second Maipo and the third one Cachapoal, then I had to put extra attention to differentiate the little ones and recognize Rio Claro the one that come before Tinguiririca. When I saw it… FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! I took the picture.

Soon as I arrive to Puerto Montt’s airport I send the photo to my mom:


Me: There you are!!!!

Mom: XD

I took a photo of the town where my mom lives (that is what I believe, if I don’t miss any river).

    Could you recognize the rivers? I'm too surprised!

    Why you don't like summer? It's so much better than the winter cold!

An image where I'd like to go.

It has always been in mind to travel to a distant place. To a vast steppe. No hills around, not in the distance, not even beyond the horizon. Something like a desert, but a freezing cold desert with not so bright white light, with a tint of blue, diffused for the thick layer of dark grey clouds and cover for a harsh brown grass carpet. I’d like to visit a place like that not to see the view, but to feel the wind. It should be strong, cold and dry. In my mind I walk through the grass with a stool in my hand and a mug in the other, I took a place in the middle of the steppe, and stay there, staring while I drink tea. When I think in that place I’ve always thought in Tierra del Fuego, a distant island at the end of the world, where after the european invasion, the colonization, the Selk'nam genocide and the hunt of every animal in the land there is nothing more than grass and wind. There is no more else than the land itself. In a less poetic way (or maybe not) a place like th...

New year resolutions, YU-PI-!

Two thousand and twenty, Twenty Twenty, dos mil veinte (how bilingual!) New year resolutions, yupi!! Challenges for the new year, oh yeah! First one, staying alive! Second, that all my dreams come true! Last, but not least, the fall of capitalism!! As 2020 it is just a way of administrate that thing that we call time, I don't think year resolution should exist, maybe just resolution for the future to come, what it's the same, but at the same time not... So, this are my thoughts for this 4718 (for the chinese calendar). Well, I think the real challenge for the time to come is to be able to manage the collapse and fall of every structure that doesn't work with our wishes for a new and renovated way of living that considere us as... humans and not just a productive robots. It is time to kill, crush and transform something, anything we considerer a detriment for our existence. Also recognize, and think, and accept, the academy as space o...
