Finally,I have reached the motherland. After two years of constanly thinking of this place I have made it safe and sound. Mexico City is a magical place in my eyes. The streets are full of life, these graffiti walls make my walks much more plesant and colorful, food is everywhere, the smells of fruits in La Alameda consume me, the small hello from the lady in the corner who doesn`t know me warms my heart in the mornings and seeing my mother happy with our family make my experience in this city even better. Honestly, I might live in one of the worlds best safest countries but I have something missing. I have an obssesion with this land, I might be a gringo but my heart is Mexican and no matter what part in the world, La cultura de mis padres que me heredaron la voy a apreciar y practicar. Por que este país es único y maravilloso igual como su cultura y gente.
This is not photoshop, this is real life.
This is called “Foodscaping”…and it is what everyone should be doing in every neighborhood in the US and around the world.
Geneva,Switzerland. Each yard is a vegetable garden and neighbors consult and plan what each will grow so they can trade. Imagine if we did this in the US. Our commute to get groceries would be 24 feet and we would be certain it would be organic .
Photoshop.
I mean, RAD
For the last three decades many Americans have puzzled over a system that gives an R to a movie in which a women is carved up by a chainsaw and an NC-17 to one that shows a woman sexually pleasured. From such ratings one might conclude that sexual violence against women is OK for American teenagers to see, but that they must be 18 to see consensual sex. What message does this send to the kids the MPAA presumably means to protect?
