My name is Bobby Jackson...



This will sound like a cliché, but I really miss those days when I was little and I couldn’t wait to get home from school so I could watch all afternoon my favorites cartoons. I remember that all my afternoons were organized by the schedule that they were on. So everything was a lot of cartoons and almost no homework. Those were the happy days.

I wanted to be so many characters of my favorite cartoons! I wanted to be Akane from Ranma, Sailor Mars from Sailor Moon, Bulma from Dragon Ball Z and I was also kind of a tomboy so I wanted to be a Caballero del zodiaco as well.
I could write a lot of any of these cartoons, I love all of them, but today I have to talk about my favorite one, and that is without a doubt Detective Conan. I can say that this cartoon is so important to methat even now i'm grown up, my computer is full of episodes of this show.
First of all, It was about a 17 year old detective who was poisoned and became a 10 year old boy, who wouldn't like to watch that?. And second, I wanted to be a girl from the young detectives's league with Conan, I wanted the walkie talkie, the watch with tranquilizer needles, the shoes with extra power, but most of all, I wanted to be super smart like Conan was. Even though it was very suspicious that he was always in the right place at the right time, always somewhere where an unsolved mistery was happening.
The most funniest part was that he lived with another detective that was considered by everyone a very crappy one, Carlos guzman ‘The famous Detective’ as he used to call himself. He was really dumb, he hated to work and was a drunk. When Conan solved a case, he was the one who always took all the credit.
I'm still watching this cartoon, and I don’t think I will stop any time soon.

Everything is better when you drink in Santiago.


Well, I think this is a city that really works for me, of course I would like to live in a place where cool bands go to do more concerts, like Buenos Aires, but besides that I really love Santiago.

I like to go drinking to the cheapest place in Bellavista, called ‘La Nonna’, that’s always fun because you see a lot of drunk people past by and anyone can start a fight any minute. I also go to dance to a place called 'Bar Loreto', I like it because they play the kind of music that I like, which means never reggeton. The only problem of that place is that is always full of snob people, but I forget that as I go drinking.

Also walking through Santiago is something that I enjoy, but never in crowded streets. I always try to avoid that. When I said this city works for me, is only because I always avoid the busiest hour of the subways and the bus, there’s nothing worse than that.

And If you want to think about something or you are feeling blue, you can put your headphones on and go to the bridge that is near Santana station, where you can see the highway and the subway past under you. It’s a good exercise, you should try it. One time, a friend and I imagined Ian Curtis Thinking on top of a very ugly sculpture that you can see from there, It was fun.
I love Santiago, It’s a great place, but I can’t wait to get out of here.
