1066: The year that change it all.

In this last post, i am gonna write about the year 1066 in England. Probably you are thinking why the hell's this dude is going to write about the year 1066 in England?  The answer is in the history about this country. Actually, what we know like Great Britain actually, is the result of a hystorical trajectory that become in a england way exactly in that year. Before of that, England hasnt existed.

When the Romans conquered Britain long time ago, they have to left it a time after, when keep it there a expensive a useless project, while the germanic tribe were asolating the continental Roman Western Empire. So, when the romans left, Britannia, the name of the Island in that time, was re-occupied by the native peoples and also for germanic tribes from the continent: The Anglos, and the Saxons.
With the time, in Brittania has born the Anglosaxon Kingdoms, where they spoke languages like Anglo, Saxon, between other languages, it generate a proto-english language. So they keep livings in they costumes until the year 1066 after Christ Era, when a normand (North-west side of that actual France) Duke, William the Bastard, invaded Brittania to reclaim the throne of the souther parth of the island, which is ubicated in... you guess! London!. After a bloody battle between normands and anglosaxons troops, William won the battle and his crown himself like King of England, or between us... King of Angland, this is "Land of the Anglos". So, this guy was named like William The Conqueror and his blood has been in each King and Queen of England until today. Yes, the Queen Elizabeth II is descendent of William the Conqueror. And William didnt spoke English. In Normandy, they spoke Latin and a proto-French language. So, when he come to the island, with him come that language, and with the time, the frech culture together with the anglosaxon culture got originated the english language that we are using today! And not only the language, many of the classic imaginary that we have about the ancient England, the Kingdom of England in the Middle Age, it started with the invasion of William the Conqueror and his victory in the Battle of Hastings in 1066, the battle that let him become in a Kings that in a way or other, stay alive in the culture of Great Britain.

Transcendence is love.

I have many ambitions, from complete my career until visit different places. But if I have to talk about just one, I would talk about the main one. From my childhood i have the desire for achieve something special in my life, something that it would let me be transcendent for someone or for something. When I was a child, i did think that being someone famous in the history it would be a way to achieve that; maybe a politician, maybe a militar or a astronaut. But later, near of the present, I notice thay maybe its there other ways to do that. Be a father (or mother if you want to be), be a friend, do something significative for someone, etc. There are to many things that we can do or say, and sometimes them can be viewed like something so daily, but for someone else it can be very important; so important that it can generate that your face, your name, your story of that day or of all your life would be remember for that person and others and other.

Transcendence is not only reaching big achievments in a famous sense. Transcendence can be reached sharing with someone in a particular moment, in a particular time, in a particular way. I think now that the transcendence is not only reached by myself. Transcendence its share. Its be me and someone else at the same time. Transcendence is have not only a singular way, but have a multiple road with multiple people to once.
