"I don't want to belive. I want to know" - Carl Sagan

In my life, there is a lot of people that i admire, but the scientist who most called my attention was Carl Sagan.
Carl Sagan was born in 1934 in New York and died in 1996 in Seattle, he was an astronomer, astrophysicist, cosmologist and a scientific disseminator. He was a pioner in the astrobiology, a science that study (search) the life outside the planet earth.
He also was an esceptical about god, he didn't think in the idea of a god that is a lord of everything, his idea of god was the laws of physics.

He was knowed for a TV show called "Cosmos: a personal travel".
I like Sagan for is form to talk about the science, he talks about the universe, about god, about us, his form to see the life is the think that i most admire from him.
Additionally, he was a pacifist that try to make aware about the effects of the nuclear wars.

In his life, he was recognized with many awards that in my opinion was totally deserved.
I don't wanna be like him, but he is inspirying me about to make my own scientist career.
He also inspired to Neil deGrasse Tyson in his career of a scientist so... Why would i not be inspirated?

My favourite book and film

I don't have a favourite book because it's hard to decide if one is better than other, but i have 

preferences. One of my "preferences" are the book called perfume, this novel is about Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, a guy who have a exceptional sense of smell,  i will not say anymore about the book ,

because is a story that you need to read someday. 

Another one is Pedro Paramo, a novel written by Juan Rulfo, it's about a town where nobody is alive. The chronicles of narnia are also a good series of books to me, the fantasy mixed with reallity causes on me an explotion of emotions.

There is more books that i enjoyed, but now is time to talk about the movies.

When i was a child, i watch a lot of tv shows, and in this time, i watched a movie that i like a lot, it's called "resident evil". This movie is about a zombie apocalypse, and the people who remain alive needs to fight to survive.

There is a lot of movies that i liked, but resident evil marked a stage in my life (I also played the video games).

A photogaph you like

My favourite pictures are always from the nature, like animals, spots and the universe.

When i was a child, my dad brought a camera, it wasn't very cool or expensive, but it accomplish it objetive. 

I didn't know how to take pictures and i tried to learn it, but i failed because i didn't like it so much. I think that we need to appreciate the places or the moments.

I always look at the people that take pictures to send it to their friends or family but they didn't appreciate the moment, they just want to show what are they doing in every moment. Another thing are the professional photographers or the people who had this like a hobbie, i appreciate them because they love what their are doing.

As i said earlier, i love the nature, so when i was younger sometimes i saw pictures of animals, or tv shows of them and when i discovered the chaotic universe and how mysterious that is, i almost always see the photographs taked by the hubble telescope or the pictures that the NASA upload to his page.

I don't have a favourite picture, but the one that most called me the attention is this. 

"A panoramic view of a lot of stars in different stages of them lifes" 

It's not the most beautiful picture of the universe but we can look how are the life in the universe, a young star, an old star that is nearest to dissapear, it was taked by the hubble telecope and it's from the Virgo cluster. They are many pictures of the universe that i love, and every one have a mystery.

The music and me

The music is always in my life and in my head , i remember when i was a child i played a lot of "guitar hero" and a new world of music was opened to me.

The music is a very big word and a big world, bigger than we can think, everyday a new genre of music is being born in a part of the earth and in the head of someone.

In the primary school i listen a lot of heavy rock music, because i had a neighbour that he likes this kind of music, we played guitar hero together and we liked the music of this game. I still listen to those songs.

In the secondary school, the music was in the classroom because almost everyone played a musical instrument, and they was carrying them to the classes and played them in the playtime.

In this time, i learned how to play the guitar because my friends played it a lot and they influenced me to learn how to played this instrument. My best friend in this time is a musician, and he played a lot of instruments like the piano, accordion, bass, guitar, and anything that you give to him, he told me how to play the guitar in the better way that i could.

Now, i know how to play the guitar and others instruments, but i don't play them so well so i didn't mention them, if i had an instrument that i don't know i tried to learn it. I really like to learn how to play a new musical instrument because is a new kind of sound and i can play music that it didn't sound very well in another musical instrument.

By the way, the styles of music that i like are almost everyone played with guitar, so in this way i don't have problems to play them. I don't have a favourite musical genre, but i have preferences and the genre that i mostly hear is the alternative rock and the band that i most like to hear is called radiohead. About movies, Misirlou is still making noise in my head, and the classical music of almost every movies.
