About A Foreigner's Journal

Some weeks ago I fell in the world of the virtual words and began to write "Bitácora de un extranjero", to exercise my forgotten writing skills. I think I have gained some discipline and the Muse of Writing has been by my side whispering at my ear the words I can't said (usually nobody can understand me when I speak, they say I do it too fast).

Basically I write as a tool to guarantee that my own ideas survive the death by the starvation of the forgetfulness, but this universe of hypertext transforms our letters into notes in a bottle, and the receiver can be totally anonymous to our world, then we needed to deliver additional effort to write something that does not squander his time, something that be worthwhile to be read. Now I want to begin to write in Shakespeare’s language with two main objectives: first, to practice the English writing; the second objective is to share with those who land in my page some of my thoughts and reflections. I must make clear that my native language is Spanish, a beautiful language to write and to speak in, with long words of several syllables, from which I will translate some posts of my "Bitácora de un extranjero"; but not all of them because some ideas were conceived to be written in Spanish, and some others are too simple to be translated.

Finally, why the title of this blog? well, there are many reasons. The main one is that I am a foreigner of this culture, this civilization, this world, only a passenger, a traveller around a strange universe, and I do not feel native to any place. That is my way and my present.
