One to One: Rock Hudson.

I would like to talk with Rock Hudson. He was an American film and television actor. He completed nearly 70 motion pictures and starred in several television productions during his career. Hudson died in 1985, being one of the first major Hollywood celebrities to die from an AIDS-related illness.I think that would be interesting knew the feel of the actor, because he was gay in a time that this was considered tabú. To keep up appearances, he got married with Phyllis Gates, a friend of his manager, but he divorced three years later. In 1985, he told that had HIV, but speculated he might have contracted HIV through transfused blood from an infected donor during the multiple blood transfusions he received during his heart bypass procedure in November 1981, never saying that he was homosexual. Only when he died, the truth comes to light.In the first part, I would like to ask him what thought when he knows that was HIV.  Second, I would ask him how he feels, hiding and suppress himself for his true essence. And at the end, if he didn’t regret for his actions and didn’t think to do the things in another way.

Paris, London and Copenhague!

My memorable journey was in 2001, with my mother and my cousin, Catalina, five years old than me. I was eleven years old. We traveled to Paris, London and Copenhague. This it was my second travel out of the country, but first out of the continent. I remembered it for this and for company. Before this journey, I didn’t get on with Catalina, but, after, we became inseparables. We flight from Santiago to Madrid. After that, we took an airplane to Copenhague. My mom was there to work, so she woke up early and with my cousin visited the city. We knew some squares and streets. We did it alone, only the two, so we felt like “older”. We stayed five days.

Then, we went to French’s capital, Paris, another five days. We visited the Louvre Museum, the Eifel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral and some other places. My mother was finished with the job, so we could visited the whole city.

 

At least, we went to London, three days. We went to the British Museum, the Madame Tussauds Museum, Buckingham Palace, to Picadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square and San James Park. All the time we stayed, only one day was sunny.

At the end of the journey, we wanted more. Until today, I never come back, but I hope that day doesn’t be far.
