Fictional Notes And Letters

Claudia

Claudia

Oiga volteé en esa esquina donde dice Laurel, por favor dijo Claudia.

Es usted tan viejito que no alcanza a ver los rótulos de las calles y le tienen qué anticipar las vueltas… Por qué no usa lentes?…

Y Claudia soltó la carcajada.

Cada vez que podía, Claudia echaba en cara su juventud contra mi supuesta vejez, pero era su forma de divertirse conmigo, y admito, a costa mía.

No me importaba ni tenia un conflicto con la edad, de hecho la disfrutaba, al encontrar cosas que en otros tiempos me detenían de ser realmente lo que era: único, especial, con una personalidad que me encantaba. Y debo decir que los temas favoritos de Claudia y Jessica era la juventud y la vejez, cuando podían y sobre todo cuando ambas se juntaban a hacer equipo.

Si los dinosaurios existeieran le dirían… Amigo cómo estás? decía Claudia y si las montañas hablaran dirían pies que por aquí te vieron pasar, secundaba Jessica; si las estrellas se contaran a sí mismas, remataba Claudia, le preguntarían la última cuenta…

Por qué?

Porque antes de las estrellas ya estaba usted!!!!

Jajajajajajaja…

Muy graciosa, muy graciosa…

-Ah, Ya vamos a prosopopeyas?

-Whhhhhat?, exclamaba consternada Claudia

-La suya!!!! gritaba Jessica… Ay por si…

-Jessica te pasaste, reclamaba Claudia, te pasaste…

Muy graciosa, muy graciosa, prorrumpía yo.

Yaya?

Ya le he dicho que no me llame Yaya, decía Claudia.

Yaya porque te dicen Yaya en tu casa?

Ya sé. Porque tanto desesperabas a tu mamá en la cocina que te decía… Ya! Ya! y te aventaba el palote, o sería por eso que cuenta Jessica que te juntaba jugar karate con los hombres y movidas tus manos en posición de karate y decías IA! IA! IA! IA!; o porque tu mamá cuando estabas a punto de nacer decía cansada y con las últimas ganas y en desesperación… ya! ya!

Eres un fastidio y dolor para hombres y mujeres… Algún día cambiarás, hija mía? Te quieres confesar?

- De padre usted no tiene nada! refunfuñaba Claudia

- Lo soy y de dos hijos muy bonitos, hechos con Herdez

- Herdez?

-Hechos cooon amoorr, con toda confianza es Herdezzzz- Usted está loco!

- De poeta y loco todos tenemos un poco

- Usted nunca pierde, verdad?

- Todo lo aprendí de tíiiiiii (puedo cantar?) Todo lo aprendí de tíiii

- Ehe esa es una canción de Ana Barbara!!! Esa es un canción de Ana Bárbara! gritaba exaltada Jessica

-Ay la baba! Este no es el concurso de Adivina por los 64 mil… jugaba Claudia…. Y todos nos poníamos a reír. Jajjajajajaa

Así pasaban la bromas, por momentos, de entre las innumerables del día, multiplicados por mil doscientas lunas que eran tres años, tres meses.

Ese era el juego preferido, ver quién tenía más astucia para hacer va mal al otro, entre el cariño, el afecto y el trabajo.

Espacio Personal

Es este espacio, algo personal. Esta disenado para alguno que otro loco, entre familiares, parientes, excompaneros de clase y amigos. Tiene este espacio, alguno que otro detalle (como los buenos regalos que se envuelven en navidad) e intentan transmitir buena vibra, sentimientos a veces encontrados, emociones a flor de piel, situaciones que se intentan condensar para narrar, para transmitir, para transportar al escucha a una serie de contenidos que pretenden tocarlos, acerca de la naturaleza humana. Con arte, con delicadeza, con tino, con armonia, con belleza en su formas. Es como un desvan, donde se guardan las cosas apreciadas por el tiempo, para su utilizacion en un futuro cercano. Entre las experiencias vicarias, personales, ajenas, blogueros de tumblr y amigos, se construye la materia prima de sus contenidos, esperando siempre que sean del agrado de aquellos que entran a estos espacios perdidos.

The Walking Dead

Who is the Walking Dead?

  The Walking Dead is a TV horror drama developed by Fran Darabont. The original series came for a comic book series of the same name. It started in Oct 31, 2010, on the cable channel AMC in the USA and right now it is is in its fourth season.

  It is simply the best in it own genre. The Walking Dead is original, has its own brand and perfectly differentiate from other genres in TV. There is no other TV drama that could capture 16.1 million viewers for its fourth season premiere to become the most watched drama series telecast in basic cable history.

  What Does The Walking Dead do?  The Walking Dead entertains people by presenting a TV show in which two kind of human beings are in constant battle and their skills, either in one side or the other, are really important to make the human race survive: The dead and alive. Who is going to win? On one hand, the vast majority of dead people whose purpose is to eat and transform humans into walking dead. On the other hand, the humans alive will need to use their thinking skills to survive the dead crowd with no loss. A battle between intelligence in alive people vs majority in dead people… who is going to win?

  Why Does it matter?  AMC’s passion is the entertainment business and this company realizes that being in the top is to create a TV show with wonderful settings and plots where the story gets our attention. This is the reason AMC initially invested 3.5 million per episode to add extras, special effects and filming outdoors which is more expressive than in a indoor studio.

 The Walking Dead matters because is a unique TV story. It is interesting by selecting a theme never brought to the TV sets. It is also thrilling when the walking dead or the crowd move with all those special effects and amazing make up to get a human alive.

 It matters because at the end, the only purpose of every creation and product is to get the attention of public to get our mission accomplished.
