Clotario Blest

I wanna talk today about Clotario Blest. He died 22 years ago on a day like today.

Clotario Blest-Riffo was born on November 17 on 1899 on Santiago.

He was a sindicalist leader of our country. He founded different organizations, like the National Agrupation of Fiscal Employees ANEF, the Workers Unique Central CUT, and the Revolutionary Left Movement MIR.

As well as he participated on the creation of social organizations on Chile, he also participated on many international activities. On the 50's he participated on The National Committee of Peace Partidaries of Chile together with Pablo Neruda and Gabriela Mistral, for example.

I think that the most important thing about this man is that he promoted the fight of worker's rights but on a pacefull way. He is known in a lot of countries and the was an active opositpor ofa lot of dictatorships on Latinamerica, but as I said, he was a promoter of peace, something that I think is missing on these years.

He has a solitary old age, he only was accompanied  by his pets and two young persons, Oscar Ortiz and Francisco Díaz. They helpped him on his daily activities.

One of his late activities was a visit that he made to the politic prisoners of the Public Jail of Santiago on March 1990.

He died on the daybreak on May 31 on 1990. He was blurred on San Francisco's Temple and syndicalists, politicians, priests, students and workers in general payed his last respects to him. I think he was a great men, out of the political things.

I don't think that you can have ONE favourite picture, but I`m going to choose this one because that weekend was very special to all the people that appears on the picture.

The picture was taked a month ago, on April 22, and we all got together because we were remainding the death of one of our friends, that happend one year ago, April 22, 2011. On the picture appears our group (but there are a lot of us that didn't asist that day), their girlfriends, his mother -the woman with a necklace-, his brother -the one with a yellow t-shirt-, and his girlfriend -the one with a pink t-shirt-.

We are on Agronomy's Faculty of Universidad de Chile, and behind us in the picture is our friend David painted by two of our friends -Saulo, the one with a light blue jockey; and Músico, the one with the striped t-shirt-, on the wall. That wall is in one of the sides of the edification where the students organize their stuff.

That day changed our life forever, but it also make us closer. We remember David everytime we get together, and sometimes some of the girls of the group cry, but we most remember him singing a lot because he was a very happy person and he always played the guitarr on the meatings, and singed with all his happiness. Actually, the funeral was like a party, there were a lot of people singing and singing, and playind the guitar, and after all it was not a sad funeral at all :)

Obiously The Cat!

I think the best pet in the world is the Cat, because they have a strong personality but they are also very soft and they give you a lot of love.

What peolple say about that they are traecherous, I think cats just are very smart and they know who loves them and who doesn't, because even when they pee on some ones armchair or wall that is, on a biological way, because they have to delimit territory, and that is just telling us that it doesn't feel comfortable, they know they are hated there.

Cats are really a good pat because they take care of them selfs. Of course, they also need a lot of love and attention, but if you have shown it who is the boss, he is going to respect you and you style of life. For example, if you teach it that he cannot pee very where he wants, he is not going to do it. It's all in the way you interact with it.

I don't have a cat right now because I live on a small department, but I lived all my life with cats when I lived with my parents. I had a lot of cats, and I always have a sort of crush on them. Actually, my friends used to associate my person with cats and cats with me.

Any way, I'm moving away in a month to a place where there is going to live a cat to. So I'm very happy because I lov living with cats.

A few monts ago, I try to have a cat, but it was imposible, because he was very lonely all day long and we had to give him away :( Is the one in the picture.
