URBAN MYTHS -RED-HANDED-

A drunk driver was pulled over by a police officer late one night.

As hi was trying to walk a straight line, there was a crash from a nearby alley and the policeman told the drunk to wait while he checked it out.

After waiting about ten minutes the drunk decided it was silly to wait, and drove home.

The next morning the police officer knocked on his door. The driver stuck to the story that he´d been at home all evening and the policeman demanded he open the garage door.

The man obliged wondering what the policeman hoped to find. He realized his mistake when he saw the police car in his garage.

"DAVID" BY MICHELANGELO

The work of art most schoking to me has been "DAVID" by Michelangelo.

As everybody knows this sculpture is situated in the art gallery of the academic in Florence.
It´s 5.17 meter high. It´s a marble statue. It was sculpted from 1501 to 1504, it is a masterpiece of Reinassance sculpture.
Michelangelo chose to represent David as an athlete, manly character, very concentrated and ready to flight. The extrem tension is evident in his worried look and in his right hand, holding a stone.

I remember the first tjme when I saw this sculpture, it really shocked me because it´s a colosal, gigantic and enormous statue. I needed to sit in front of him and spend a long time looking at him.

I recommend to everybody who goes to Florence not to miss this chance of visiting DAVID.

TELLING STORIES

Did I ever tell you about the hobby of my oldest son Sergi?.
Twenty five years ago when my oldest son was 5, he decided to play hairdressers.
One afternoon my sister and brother-in-law came round to see us with their daughter Sonia who was 6.
After dinner, while we were having a drink and chatting our children were in Sergi´s bedroom.
We thought that they were sleeping because we couldn´t hear anything. However, the reality was absolutely different.
An hour later I went to see the children. I still haven´t been able to forget what I saw when I opened the door. They had cut each others hair!.
Sonia who had very beautiful long hair, at that moment only had one part of it, because my son had completely cut the right side of her hair.
Sergi lost his fringe, showing a big bald part of his head.
When I could react, I called the rest of the family "who were chatting peacefully", they came quickly and they had the same reaction as me.
Luckily hair grows.
It was one of the most shocking things that´s ever happened to me.

See you tomorrow.
