The Ambivalent

I decided to create another blog called "The Ambivalent". I'm going to keep updating this one but thought it would be a good idea to have a simpler and more visual blog. So, basically, I'll keep both blogs. 

"Always looking out the window" will focus on my travels and everything from them that I find relevant and interesting. It's gonna become a guide of all the places that I visit, from my point of view...

"The Ambivalent" is more a way of being. Always with a conflict within myself. Polar thoughts and opinions that collide with nonsense and irrationality. I just want to be who I am. One can be hot and cold, loved and hated, right and wrong; there are no limits to one's existence and choices. I'm sometimes contradictory, but that's my charm because I'm in constant evolution and I never limit myself to an already created image. My "image" is ephemeral, as are my thoughts and feelings. If something stays in one's mind for long, it becomes part of one's self and stops being a feeling or thought that arises in the present. My new blog will be a more photographic and musical blog with some entries from interesting sources and new concepts and ideas that I find out there, in our -oh so- overinformed world. Whatever I find interesting and relevant (always from my point o view) will be shared.

"La Perle" à Paris

A few days ago, John Galliano had an unfortunate incident at one of my favorite bars in Paris, La Perle. I used to go there at least once a week while I was living there and I never saw any sign of violence or discrimination. It's such an open-minded place, a bit snobbish yet incredibly liberal. I went there to grab a coffee or beer with the feeling of being in a dark and twisted American diner. I always ended up having a wonderful time. I haven't been there since july 2010 but I'm looking forward to going back again. 


I had my farewell party there (with most of the friends that I met whilst in Paris) in june 2009 and I will always remember this small, red lighted and charming bar at Le Marais. 

LA PERLE: 78 Rue Vieille du Temple, Paris.
