Two wheels in the city

Well, I chose a new related with the environment and te green living... and something that for me it's just usual: bike ride. But this new is about the cycling in the city, and it makes an analogy between cyclists and pedestrians as a plankton and an amoeba, and the difference that exist between this two, and between the bikes and the cars, putting the cars in the whale possition.

One trick that cyclists in the city develop is the ability to make a "jink" around obstacles, pedestrians and the cars. But there are some tricks for the pedestrian too; for example when you're crossing a road, you look between the flow of cars and move trough it.

The treatment is really important int his. Because if you are a cyclist or a pedestrian or a driver you have to treat the other people as you'd like people to treat you.



I chose this new because I'm a very usual cyclist, most of the time I use it and I could go everywhere on my bike, because I really love it, and it's healthy for me and for the environment. And sometimes I feel that difference between the pedestrian, the drivers and cyclist. Sometimes cars don't respect the cyclists, or sometimes the pedestrian move on the cycling paths. That's really tedious I get a bit angry but it's something that I canalize and is in that moment when I say "well, we have to learn to live together..."

Blog 2: The shortest semester =P

First of all I would like to say that I'm so sorry because I didn't write this blog at the time... but I didn't knew it, I swear it, I had no idea that we started writing in this... well I have been absent in some classes so I have the responsability to go, I know it...

Well, about the topics that we could write in the blogs, mmmh I think that probably we could discuss about things related with our career, or with artistic areas or something about art, because that is our working area,and we have too many things to talk about and discuss and analyse.
A few classes before we were watching a video on TED.com and it was about the success, the fame and the happiness. We were discussing about this, and about our expectatives of life, and I really think that it is very important for us, because we are in the age that we have to make very important decisions, we have to stand up to the world on our own, and we have different points of view about life and about what we want and what we expect of it. I don't know; our personal dreams, expectations, our future, success... I mean, it sound very tedious, but it could be a divergent topic of discussion
