Letter To Elvis
2007-08-16 18:23:00
Dear Elvis ,They say that 30 years ago you went, one day like today, a 16th of August. But I don't believe it.I met you through these movies in black and white that nobody sees, beside my grandfather.One day I asked my grandfather "who is him?" and he told me about you. And I asked too "and he appears on TV?", and he answered me : "No Emma, he died many years ago". But I don't believed him.Sometimes when I'm worried and sad I listen your music and I feel better.How can someone tell that you are gone when sometimes your music brings happiness to my soul?Kings never die. They stay in History forever.Do you know why I feel that you stay here? because, as in you song, You are always on my mind.-Emma Alvarez- If you liked this post, subscribe to Emma Alvarez Blog

Crocodile Legend
2007-08-15 20:22:00
One upon a time in a far away place, lived a peasant who loved very much his village and his people.One day, when he was going for water to the lake, the huts began to burn. When he returned from the lake, he felt horrified for seeing his village in flames. All that he loved was burning.And he ran, ran very much to the lake, and he swear to the Heaven that he could give his live in exchange for saving his village.And hugged the water and turned running to the village, and with his body he extinguished the flames.He returned to the lake forever with his deformed appearance and his skin fill of blisters.When he eats remembers his former life and drops tears of nostalgia. He will be called Croc odile forever.Sometimes we fear those who we most admire.-Emma Alvarez- If you liked this post, subscribe to Emma Alvarez Blog

With this post, I inaugurate a new section of this blog. A section about "comics & cartoons". The movie of this summer is "Fantastic four and Silver Surfer ". But Who is Silver Surfer ?Silver Surfer is a super hero of Marvel, created by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. But what is the history of Silver Surfer?Norrin Radd (Silver Surfer) is from the Zenn-La planet. A planet where peace reigns and a pacifism spirit predominate. Norrin Radd will work for Galactus, the planet eater, to avoid that Zenn-la is destroyed by Galactus.Norrin Radd will get planets to feed Galactus. In the beginning, planets without life; but these planets don't have enough energy, so Radd will get planets with primal life. This matter will give to him a big sorrow so Galactus handles telepathically Norrin Rad so Radd doesn't have conscience problems. Galactus will give superpowers to Norrin Radd, a silver appearance and a surfboard as vehicle. Norrin Radd will be Silver Surfer.Silver surfer will arrive to Earth planet...

2007-08-09 18:46:00
I start with this article a new section of this blog. All months there will be an article about cinema, about interesting films, top ten...And I wanna begin with this genre. Science Fiction has a lot of detractors. Sci-fi is for intelligent people and with an open mind, with imagination and creative.I always have preferred the good books of the genre because our imagination goes much far away than a film. But there are very goods films in the history of cinema.After that, a list of the best Sci-fi films.1- The Star Wars Trilogy: Star Wars/The Empire Strikes Back/Return Of The Jedi2- Alien3- Blade Runner4- Matrix5- E.T.

Planet Caravan
2007-08-07 19:02:00
"We sail through endless skies.Stars shine like eyes.The black night sighs.The moon in silver dreamsfalls down in beams.Light of the night.The earth, a purple blazeof sapphire haze on orbit always.While down below the treesbathed in cool breezesilver starlightbreaks down from night.And so we pass on by the crimson eyeof great god Marsas we travel the universe." -lyrics of the original song-The original song was by Black Sabbath from their album "Paranoid" edited in 1970. This is a version by Pantera of their work "Far Beyond driver" published in 1994.Lyrics and music have a special charming. Oneself is surrounded by several sensations. Planet Cara van is a magic and unforgettable song.I wish you like it.-Emma Alvarez-If you liked this post, subscribe to Emma Alvarez Blog

The Eternal Serengeti
2007-08-05 20:29:00
There is a national park in Tanzania (Africa) called Serengeti . This awesome place has been listed by UNESCO as one of the World Heritage Sites.Serengeti means "endless plains" in Maasai language. And it's true, it's endless plains filled of lions, tigers, elephants, rhinoceros, giraffes, hyenas, zebras, gnus, buffaloes...In Serengeti there is a big biannual migration move. The animals go searching the water and the vegetables, following the season's change. In this travel they cross the river Mara two times.We can find in Serengeti the Maasai tribe. Kind and smiling people that wear colorful clothes. They are nomads and cattle breeders. Their life goes around their cows. From cows, they get meat, milk, blood (they drink it), leather...Near the Serengeti park, we can visit the Ngorongoro park. There we can find the Olduvai Gorge, where were found skeletons of primitive men like the Homo habilis and the Paranthropus boisei.This is only the beginning of a new section of this blog....

Summer Time
2007-07-31 18:22:00
Many people begin their vacation tomorrow 1st August. Some say that vacation is a controversial time for families and couples. Too much time far away from routine, work...Sometimes we are not ourselves, only an image that others want to see. Running all the time , watching the clock, and we try to escape from ourselves .Now in summer people have time, time to be themselves and to be with people they love, and the troubles begin when things aren't as they think.People fear their own thoughts: that their life isn't perfect. Not as a in a movie or in a commercial. It's difficult living far away from stress when stress is part of your life, and helps you to not think.But life has not to be perfect to be happy. Only needs to enjoy with small things. Enjoy with a beautiful landscape, with an ice-cream, with people who you love, with a book...Actually, the small things are the most important. Remember a happy moment of your life. For others, that moment can be a nonsense, but not for yo...

Women In Art
2007-07-25 23:14:00
When I saw this video I was surprised of its beauty and atmosphere. There are so many women, so different, and so expressive, in so many works of art... Full of tenderness and serenity. They tell so many things through their eyes...They tell about their times, their lives, their illusions and wishes. They are as beautiful as mysterious.They were seen through the artistic eye of a painter. They will always be there in a room or in a landscape forever watching us. We only can appreciate their generosity and admire them.For the artist who made that video : Thank You. -Emma Alvarez-If you liked this post, subscribe to Emma Alvarez Blog

Maybe One Day... Stairway To Heaven.
2007-07-23 22:06:00
Maybe one day I could buy a stairway to Heaven .One long stairway that may lead so high that you could never see the human miseries,and the pain would have no sense.One long stairway where the loneliness would not exist.And the injustice could not be seen.And in a big sky where only love could exist.And peace may arrive to all hearts.Today I can only dream.Maybe one day that can be true. -Emma Alvarez-If you liked this post, subscribe to Emma Alvarez Blog

BlogCatalog Community Organ Donation Awareness Campaign
2007-07-16 23:20:00
BlogCatalog has started a campaign for organ donation. When I was informed about this, I felt a strong need to contribute for a cause that I believe on completely.The best of organ donation is that when you die, you don't do it completely, but you can make something of your person continues living in another one.In some way, it's like being a hero, because your life will guarantee that others continue living.The existence of sick people whose organs are damaged is very painful. For example, people that have kidney trouble have to spend hours connected to a machine that cleans their blood. Or people who suffer from heart disease, whose existence seems to slip away each minute waiting for a phone call that may change their lives.When we talk about children the things get worse. There is nothing as terrible as a child suffering. Innocent creatures that, instead of enjoying their childhood, they are trapped in a bed, without being able to do what the other children do: play, jump, ru...

Steve Vai In Live
2007-07-14 22:26:00
Last Saturday, I could see Steve Vai, my favorite guitar player, in live, at the Fortress of Sun in Lorca. The concert was great Steve Vai was playing as only he can do for more than three hours. Vai proved the audience to be a musician generous and shining.His musicians are really good. The performance of the drums was excellent. And Vai was very funny and kind. It's so good to be able to see a so modest genius and charming person.Here you can see and hear one of his most special songs "For the love of God":Thank you Steve Vai for an unforgettable night of music in the highs of a castle. -Emma Alvarez-

More Sexy Than Rock 'N' Roll
2007-07-14 19:09:00
There was an old song in my country called "mas sexy" said something as "you may be sexy as rock 'n' roll". Was a very cheerful song. The band name was "Coz". Here you are a new version from "Punto de mira" band:"You may be sexy as rock 'n' roll".... who knows... We can be more sexy than rock 'n' roll... it's dificult but we can. No? lolRock and rockers are very sexy. I was thinking in this moment in not so much handsome rock stars that have been married or dating with really pretty women. I remember have seen one day to a Jerry Hall walking along the beach, and she was a really beautiful woman.I don't doubt that Mick Jagger must be a sexy man to marry with so amusing lady :)The Roll ing Stones, despite their many detractors, are one of the greatest rock bands of all times.Well here you are cooly sexy t-shirts that were made for people as you. Enjoy with them. And remember you are: MORE SEXY THAN ROCK 'N' ROLL!!!-Emma Alvarez-

Warning Pure Venom
2007-06-21 21:57:00
I did this design really quickly. Ideas went flowing and I was quite satisfied with the results.I think it was Friday. On Sunday, somebody said me:- Are you going to the cinema? They're showing that movie about Spiderman, and it's Spiderman against Venom .- Versus who?Venom, oh my Gosh... hehe :-) the unconscious sometimes makes this kind of tricks.I love superheroes, their appearance, and I also think the're beneficial as a role-model.By the way, look at this quiz. It's great and quite entertaining, I loved it. I got 90% of Wonder Woman. Not really bad, isn't it? ;-) They say comparisons are usually hateful, but this one is really cool. I don't know much about Wonder Woman. I'll try to get some info.I admire comic illustrators. In fact, my favorite one is the Peruvian Boris Vallejo, who shows beautiful and strong dark haired women instead of the so seen stereotype of fragile women.I always thought that having a myth or hero is really a benefit for oneself. You try to have a...

Pollo Loco
2007-06-21 21:57:00
I really enjoyed myself doing "Pollo Loco" (the mad chicken).I heard the phrase "pollo loco" to a friend of Arizona. When talking about my President, he said that he was a "pollo loco". It was so fun that in few days I did this design. Fortunate those who don't feel ashamed by their politics. But it's too sad to compare this chicken with any politic, as most of them are not fun but shaming or terrific, or both.This "pollo loco, muy loco", has seen the news on TV, I think, and that's why it has become mad.-Emma Alvarez-

My Fire
2007-06-21 21:56:00
Nobody can extinguish my fire, my inner fire.Nobody can't control our ideas. Say go to hell to all those people that want to put an end to individualism. We aren't flocks of people, we are persons, and we want to be ourselves.We have the right to rebel, to be free.Go to hell all those politics, the teams we are pushed to choose, the collectives, TV programs that with their rubbish TV try to create "opinion".We ourselves already have an opinion, damn the alienating and manipulating society.Nobody can extinguish our fire neither with their one million of fireman truck.No one can beat us; we have fire inside us, we live to the limit, and live each moment as it was the last of our lives. Nobody can't put an end to this, no one can extinguish our fire.-Emma Alvarez-

Classics Never Die
2007-06-21 21:55:00
When I did this design I was thinking in various things.In this consume society, all seems to have an end date: friendships, love, work, ideas... everything.I thought about music, rock, specially about Heavy Metal. When something has the adjective of classic, it is safe from being thrown to the pyre.For that people - who think that Heavy has died, that friendship doesn't exists, that love is pure fiction - with this composition we give to them a kick in the face.Classics never die, the remain there for all those who can understand.Though it's clear, honey was not made for a donkey mouth. You know what I mean.-Emma Alvarez-

Under The Moon
2007-06-21 21:54:00
I love cats. I have a cat called Lilit.I always say it's a present from God.This furry ball gives me so much happiness. Frisky, playful, curious, sleepy, even lazy...It's always by my side purring in the night.Absolutely charming, that is the image of a cat under the moon, playing with the stars, playing in freedom under the moonlight.Free without fears under the night sky.Do you guess what I like most about cats? You have to win their affection, and when you get it, you also find the complicity in their eyes, in their moves.Let us all do as the cats, let's be free and wild under the moonlight.-Emma Alvarez-PD: If you end doing like the cat and making acrobatics under the moon, trying to catch the stars, remember: that video may be a success in YouTube !!! hahahahaaha ;-)
