My Favorite TV Show


WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS OF PEAKY BLINDERS

Definitely, my favorite TV show is Peaky Blinders. I learned about it because some friends were watching it years ago and I thought: OK, I will watch it too, just because...But then I absolutely loved it! Everything about the series caught my attention in no time. 

The series is about a family of gangsters from the 1920's. The protagonist is Thomas Shelby, who recently came back from World War I being severely traumatized and with the mission of  leading the family business, that has been managed for years by the Shelby women: aunt Polly, a 60-something years old woman that becomes the main counselor for Tomy; and Ada Shelby, the youngest of four siblings and the only sister who doesn't want to be involved with the family and leaves with a communist activist. 

Their business is mainly racehorse betting, but with the time it starts to grow along with Tommy's thirst for power. Along with the women and Tommy, he also has two brothers that are important characters: Arthur, the oldest and most impulsive of all of them; and John, whose loyalty will always be with Tomy but also wants to leave the family business for a simpler life.

I love this show because of the characters, the photography and the soundtrack: all of these are so good that if the story at some point gets boring, you don't even realize about it. And of course, the interpretation of the actors is phenomenal: Cillian Murphy, Helen Mcrory and the rest are absolutely amazing.

My favorite episode would be the one when Tommy is almost killed by the Russians, but he's just saved because the Prime Minister needs his help: he made an agreement with him at the time in which Tommy would help him with "favours" (murders mostly) and he could export his gin to the rest of Europe without taxation (link is above).

A Country I would like to visit: England - London

Imagen
  During my three years of studies in college, I've been thinking a lot about what I want to do after I finish, especially when the subject is the specialization I wanna go for in journalism. My first option, and the one I hope I can go for is a master degree in Fashion Journalism. I've been looking for months for places all around the world where I could take that master, and I found one in London - England. The name of the school I want to go to is Fashion School of London, and it's a postgraduate course that lasts two years.  I know London is a very cold and rainy city, as well as most part of the United Kingdom. I must say I hate the cold and rain, so that might be an issue for me; I also know that is one of the most important capitals of fashion around the world, which also helps because that's the area I want to go for in communications. But another main reason why I want to go there is because I could visit other places, such as York, Manchester, or other countri

Time Travel to the future

  My perspective on the future of this planet is very negative. I think that it's way more certain that the human race will destroy most part of themselves slowly and painfully instead of saving themselves: we can already see that, with the amount of changes in the environment that we caused. That is why I would not like to travel to the future, at least not in the next one hundred years, or more.  I think that at some point, most part of us will die and just some of us will survive. After that, human race will have to be able to start again at some point. What some people suggest is that the salvation of human race is not in saving the earth, but going to space and living on other planet, like Mars (that sounds quite similar to a certain book I read...). I think that could happen at some point, but people can't deceive themselves: only a few will be able to travel to Mars, because it is and will continue to be for a long time a very, very expensive traveling, only for the rich

Songs and memories that make me nostalgic

Imagen
There are two songs I could think about when it comes to memories... I don't think they are exactly about moments, they are more about the feelings that I had in that time.  The first song is "We'll be coming back" from Calvin Harris. It reminds me of mid-2014, I was very young and I listened to a lot of EDM (Electronic Dance Music) at that time; I loved Calvin Harris and I had a very good friend at that time that also loved edm. Our favorite thing to do was to listen to it at school, or in our way home. It was an uncomplicated time, I didn't have many real issues in life, but as a teenager, I still thought that I had so many problems. I can't remember if I really had them, but I miss those times and treasure them in my mind. The second song is "Young dumb and broke" by Khalid. This song was launched weeks before I left high school, so it reminds me of that time; also, the lyrics are about two people that were at high school. Me and my friends though
