Dadaism not Pragmatism

When I was living in Guadalajara I didn’t appreciate all the advantages that I had at hand, so thats where the saying comes from, you do not appreciate what you have until you have lost, so Isidro I want to talk about of some of the thing that you can do next time when you are in Guadalajara. First you enjoy live performances Guadalajara is for you, but if what you ticks you are sports Guadalajara has something for you, but if you like cultural things it has a wide variety to offer.

Guadalajara is the place to be if you are thinking about in music, it has a wide variety of music styles, and establishments of specific kind of music, so if you are into Mariachi, you could go to the Bariachi or even to “El Parian” in Tlaquepaque, in those places you can actually eat traditional Mexican food and enjoy one tequila or two, but if like to go clubbing, Guadalajara has plenty of those that has trendiest music with well known D.J. It has for example the “Dubal Disco” they continuously have guest D.J. so it is very trendy music, if you like latin music, you could go to “La Bodeguita de Enmedio” and listen to live bands and dance. As you can see there’s a lot to do and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Like I told you before, Guadalajara is also a best place to be if you are into sports, It has two football teams in the professional league, and another two in second division, you can see them at the “estadio Jalisco” or in the “Omnilife Stadium” which is one of the most modern soccer fields in latin america, but Guadalajara is not only soccer, also it has golf tournaments, college league basketball, car races nearby the city, but if you’re in Guadalajara you must try going to a Mexican wresting match at “La Arena Coliseo” you would enjoy this spectacle that isn’t too expensive.

If you’re into cultural stuff Guadalajara has it, you could go to the “Museo Regional” in that place you can see the actual skeleton of a Mammoth that was found in the lake of Chapala, also you could see the cultures that inhabited Jalisco before the Spaniards came, then you could visit the “El Hospicio Cabañas”, which is considered by the UNESCO a World Heritage Place, where you can see pictorical expositions, and see one of the many murals of José Clemente Orozco, in that place is located the well known mural of “El Hombre en Llamas”, after that you may go to “El Ex-Convento del Carmen” where you can see the new comers in painting and also in sculpture, and there’s many other places to visit.

As you can see there are many things to do in Guadalajara and you can do it almost everyday you want, because it isn’t restricted to just weekends, and that’s the advantages of living in a big city. So when you go there try to do some of this things.

Hi there Isidro, this time I’m going to talk about three things that I do to help the environment, and I do this not because I’m a good natured person, I do it ‘cause it is necessary right now and everybody ought to pitch in. One of these three things that I do is to reuse the other sides of the printed sheets of paper, another is to buy rechargeable batteries instead of disposable ones and last but not lest I put inside the toilet water tank a bottle filled with water.

In this times we had been flooded by printed documents from everywhere, the school, the office, the job, etc., thus have risen the amount of wasted sheets of paper and proportionally the logging of forest in order to manufacture more sheets of paper; so unconsciously we dispose of the “used” printed paper, without realizing the toll that it is for the environment, one way to avoid this is to reuse the back of the printed paper to make doodles, drawings, write brain storms, plans, phone messages, etc. and when this sheets of paper have really become garbage, store it until we have a considerable amount of it and take it to a recycling company, in this way we can help the environment.

Another way to be a green person is avoiding to purchase disposable batteries, this kind of batteries are very harmful to the earth Batteries ‘cause they may pollute the lakes and streams as the metals vaporize into the air when burned, contribute to heavy metals that potentially may leach from solid waste landfills and expose the environment and water to lead and acid among others. Instead of using one use batteries, I’m using rechargeable ones perhaps are equally as harmful to the earth as the other ones, but this kind we can use it over and over again so the impact in the earth would be lessened.

Water is our life support, not only for us, but to almost all living form in this world, and even though we know that it is a non renewable, we don’t pay attention to this topic as much as we should have, and we tell that this, due to the lack of care of our water supplies that usually are polluted, and in our homes we waste it without thinking how serious is this problem, one way to prevent this indiscriminate waste of water is in our toilet water tank, we can save from one to two liters of water per discharge in the toilet, we just have to put into our toilet tank of water a bottle filled with water or sand, in this way the water level will be risen and the water pump would be stopped and this form is pretty easy to save water in our home.

As you can see Isidro I try to be a greener person by doing these three actions to help the environment, I hope that after reading this you consider to do the same in your house, and just a reminder that the environment must be taken care by everybody and no to wait for to politicians to do something about it.
