Tommy Edison

Yesterday I found the Tommy Edison Channel on youtube. He is a blind guy who reviews movies and talks about being blind. I find him hilarious and love his reviews. I read a lot of reviews all the time (and write some!) and most of them are not from legitimate film experts, they are just people I read for other purposes and I value their opinions mostly because I like them; I also like Tommy and to be honest I find his reviews a lot more interesting than most of the others, because at least he has a different take on things. He also answers a lot of questions about being blind - in a hilarious manner - and tackles some taboo subjects without getting to heavy and makes me laugh out loud.

Here's the link to his channel: http://www.youtube.com/TommyEdisonXP

Ayer encontré el canal de Tommy Edison en youtube y ya me subscribí y vi muchos de sus videos. Tommy es un hombre que está ciego y en su canal hace reseñas de películas y también habla un poco sobre estar ciego. Vive en Connecticut y a pesar de que allá tienen una vida mucho más sofisticada que aquí en México y Tommy tiene acceso a muchas cosas que aqui los ciegos no pueden acceder, tiene muchos problemas con los que lidiar, la gente que fabrica cosas no piensa mucho en los ciegos debo decir. Pero el canal no es para concientizar (aunque lo haga de todas formas) ni es una queja, ni mucho menos, la verdad es que la razón para ver a Tommy es que es muy chistoso, sus reseñas son muy divertidas y mucho más interesantes que las de la mayoría de la gente por el simple hecho de que se fija en cosas diferentes a las que nos fijamos los que podemos ver, cuando vemos una película. Además los ciegos son un tema un poco tabú, muchas de las preguntas que le hacen son cosas que la gente se pregunta pero no se atreve a decir en voz alta. Yo he estado con ciegos varias veces en mi vida y he platicado mucho con ellos, pero aun así me han sorprendido algunas de las cosas que cuenta. Me hacen reír en voz alta y son muy cortos y divertidos.

Últimamente he estado muy interesada en dibujar cosas marinas. Intenté dibujar un barco pero no funcionó muy bien jaja. Así que decidí hace alguna olas y ahora estoy haciendo unas sirena. Mi papá dice que es porque acaba de ser mi cumpleaños de piscis.

The clap-clap of the water

 "You may have noticed that the books you really love are bound together by a secret thread. You know very well what is the common quality that makes you love them, though you cannot put it into words: but most of your friends do not see it at all. Again, you have stood before some landscape, which seems to embody what you've been looking for all your life. Even in your hobbies, has there not always been some secret attraction which the others are curiously ignorant of - something, not to be identified with, but always on the verge of breaking through, the smell of cut wood in the workshop or the clap-clap of water against the boat's side. Are not all lifelong friendships born at the moment when at last you meet another human being who has some inkling of that something which you were born desiring, and which, beneath the flux of other desires and in all the momentary silences between the louder passions, night and day, year by year, from childhood to old age, you are looking for, watching for, listening for?" 

-C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain 1940

Manchitas de acuarela

Últimamente trabajando en nuevas cosas para Loup, me he dedicado a hacer patrones y manchitas.

Lately I've been painting patterns and spots, they're for the newer things we are making for Loup.

 

Así quedó este. 

This is how this one came out.

My birthday is one week away.

The energy you drew on so extravagantly when you were a kid, the energy you thought would never exhaust itself - that slipped away somewhere between eighteen and twenty-four, to be replaced by something much duller, something as bogus as a coke high: purpose maybe, or goals, or whatever rah-rah Junior Chamber of Commerce word you wanted to use. It was no big deal; it didn't go all at once, with a bang. And maybe, Richie thought, that's the scary part. How you don't stop being a kid all at once, with a big explosive bang, like one of that clown's trick balloons with the Burma-Shave slogans on the sides. The kid in you just leaked out, like the air out of a tire. And one day you looked in the mirror and there was a grownup looking back at you. You could go on wearing bluejeans, you could keep going to Springsteen and Seger concerts, you could dye your hair, but that was a grownup face in the mirror just the same. 

-Stephen King, It. 1980
