Blue eyes

I am going to write a few words about myself, and I am going to explain the reason why I chose the title "Behind blue eyes" for this blog. You will see it is not big deal at all.
First of all, I have blue eyes, but that is not why I chose the name, at least not directly. I remember that some time before starting this blog I watched a film called "Gothika" starred by Halle Berry and Penelope Cruz. In the soundtrack there was a song I really liked, and still like. The song is called "Behind blue eyes" by Limp bizkit, and that is all about the name of the blog.
"Behind blue eyes" makes me think about the importance of valuing people by what they really are and not only by their appearance. In these days where how you look is so important that can cause severe problems, mainly to younger people, it is good to have something that remains you what is really important to focus on. My blog's title reminds me that.
I am sure that everybody has met somebody really good-looking at some point in their lives, but when you know them a bit deeper you realize that you do not like them at all. That is because beauty is a superficial thing, and only catches your attention for a while (at first sight). I know that sometimes is hard to beat the spell of beauty, and I also know that it is also possible that somebody is beautiful on the surface, and in the inside. We should not think that somebody is not worthy because of their physical beauty. We should just try to know people for a while before making an impression of them.
I am not really worried about what people think about me when they look at me, however I am more concerned about what people's opinion is about me when they know me a bit better than just the first impression. But that is right just if we are talking about people I respect, and who made a good impression on me.
Another reason to name my blog the way I did is because I usually write my opinions, and those reflect how I see the world through my eyes, my blue eyes.
I will let you watch the video of the song that inspired the title of this blog. You can click on this link to watch it.
