In these dark times and places, a lot of people seek the company of someone or something to not go through alone and many times keep their sanity in check. Last week we talk a little about human friend (perphaps another time we will discuss how to make friend with anothers humanoid races like the elfs and orcs), but a lot of people prefer animal company for a lots of reasons and your narrator, most of the time, is inside of this colorful group. Today we are breaking the rules a little bit, because I will choose the card, outrageous i know but I really want to talk about this card in particular.

                        Today card is ↪

                                                    Talons

The reason why I wanted to talk about this card is it effect, until now we were extremely lucky and no bad effect has occur so far. Wishing this case wont be the exception, and seeing that no mythological has come wreak havoc in the tent I pretty sure the other effect was activated. I assume you are wanting to know the effect of the car and its a simple one, i have to describe my pet, no a better word for she is familiar.

Her name is Osita and is a dog, Her breed dont concern me so i wont talk about it. She came to my life the year 2012 and she was a little pup of 2-3 months. I meet her for the first time when my mother(?) adopt her in the fantasy fair of plaza Puente alto. some people say that my dog can transform in a bear because her name, but she isnt the like volibear the bringer of the storm but the bringer of love.

The Decks of many things: knights in the two towers (warning: lights spoilers for Lotr)

The deck of many things:

Por Joshua Fernando Redda Astorga

Few occupations that have such impact in the history of the world (especially in western countries) as a knight. Frequently media tends to romanticize adding pride, honor, charisma and even magic to the figure of the knight, but why im talking about this presence in history. Today my friends i accidentally draw the card when we were settings the program, so i know

                  
                    Today card is ↪

                                                      Knight

This card have a interesting, to say the least, effect because it can cause a person (that have certain attributes like chivalry) fall in eternal friendship with you, or can enable you to remember  your favorite film with knights in it. So in this darks worlds doesnt exist people with good intentions, i dont think a friend will show up in the tent, Ah here it comes, the memories of my favorite movie with knight, maybe it isnt a obscure movie that talk themes like what means to be knight or the atrocities they committed, the movie i like is the lord of the rings: the two tower.

The Lotr saga perphaps one of the most known movies of all time and hold the title of most award saga in the oscars history. I watched the saga for the first time when I was a little progeny of my parents(?) in the tv and i fell in love inmediately with the music, the characteres, the battles, how real the orcs look and basically everything. In that time I like the return of the king more than the others because the epic battles and how taxing the end of frodo journey looks, but when I grow up and rewatched again and again (I watched the whole saga one or two times a year) my mind started liking more and more the two towers and how the whole situations felt so desesperated but still there is hope. I love all the main cast, but the card show me this because my extraordinary love for two of them, the apex of want a knight is Argorn and the apex of chilvalry Samwise.

These movies are long, only the theater release is about 557, and the extended edition is 683 minutes long!, so if you are planing in watching the saga good luck you wont regret it.

The deck of many things: Stars in the clear sky of Monte patria

The deck of many things:

People are entities of many complex emotions and memories, and that memories have a tremedous impact in how they personality are  shaped. Those memories span through all of their life, but especial one are made in places that they appreciate. The majority of people call these places "vacations destinations", but before we continue lets draw the card!

                                         Today card is ↪

                                       Star

The card Star, like all the other cards have multiples meanings and effects depending the person who draw it, today we were lucky because we avoid the effect which attract a comet where you are, thanks to that we can continue. So i imagine you all curious what effect the card is doing in this instance and surprisingly very similar to the card of the last time, this is because the star card is going to show us a place, a vacation destiny in specific, one localized in the north of a country named chile, this place is call Ovalle and in special "monte patria".

Your narrator went to this placed many years ago, around the year 2006, I was a little entity and my memory of that year a fuzzy is doesnt the case of the memory of that trip. I stay there like 2 weeks with my mother and grandma in the house of my great-grandmother that lived there. Because I was a little I didnt have a lot of freedom, but I could roam around the field and plantations enjoying all the nature the city didnt have and look all the stars in the sky. Unfortunately with the climate change, most of the valleys are dry and many rivers have disappear, although that notice sadden me is still my favorite memory vacations and help me grow as a child a later as a person with concern about cimete change.

The deck of many things:

Por Joshua Fernando Redda Astorga

Today is the first entry of a series in which we are gonna be in a trip provided by the magic from many differents cards that reside in a misterious item called "the deck of many things". Each card have its unique effect in the world and the person who draw it from the deck. Now without futher ado, lets draw the cards!

                          Today card is ↪                           

                                                             Fates

The card fates have multiples meanings and effects depend the person who draw it, it can varies from let you know the way you going to look like in the future, the people your going to meet, even the way your going to die. In this particulary instance it show us a place, in specify a country which many people want to go including myself, your narrator.

Japan is a unique country, localized is the continent of asia the island known for their unique art and arquitecture, that you only can truly experiment in its birthplace. this is one the reason why I want to go, so I can see it in social and historic content. But Japan beauty have many faces, from its intricate and many form of painting (ukiyo-e), theater (kabuki), poetry (haiku) and animation the japanese culture have a unimaginable number of forms. If i the fates guide my way to Japan not only I want to see its culture, but the landscape is intriguing in the same way, wonder like the Fuji mountain or the Sakura trees that blossom in march.

Although Japan is a beautiful country, i dont see me living there because, for the most part, its social rules and system dont "click" with me personally, but without a doubt its a great place for vacations
