what's your life like these days?

“My life in these days”

                In this moment of my life I am about to finish my7 studies in geography. Only rest a couple of subject and a year that is oriented to my thesis and my practicing. i wish to finish this matter at the less time possible.

                In my personal life I’m very happy with my life actually, I have a few friends (just the needed), my girlfriend is very cute and sweet and a great company, also, my family bring my a great support and we enjoy all the time that we can.

                After the university and the work (that appears sometimes in building, wielding and a several fields of industrial mechanics) I have time for mi hobbies. The first is go to the gym, I like too much the powerlilifting, also I go with mi girlfriend, I like to pass time with my friends too, drink a beer and speak about contingent topics or another things.

                About the perspectives for the next year, I think that should be a very good year, because I will have mi professional study finish. This will let my start to get new objectives to reach of my life about I, mi girlfriend and family.

                I live in the a street Teniente Cruz with San Pablo, near the limit between Lo Prado and Pudahuel, its a known place because his principal particularity, the “Teniente Cruz street market” which is the biggest of South America With a lot of products of all kind with very convenient offers in many of them.

                There is several services and shops; a “Unimarc” supermarket, a “Copec” gas station, near of three liquor stores , bakeries, butchery, two ironmonger’s among the principal commercial equipment. There is a lot of smaller stores too.               

                The transport have three possibilities; first the subway, the station its ubicated in the corner of San Pablo with Teniente Cruz and it called “Pudahuel”. The second possibility it’s the bus of the public transport, with a good cadency. And third are the taxis. In conclusion there are several forms to “move”.

                The pollution is mainly of two kind, first the air contamination, with suspended dust , smog, etc. the second it’s the acoustic pollution produces by the traffic in the near avenues.

                Independent of the pollution my neighborhood is a very quiet place with a lot of charisma in the weekend when the street market are installed.

La Iliada.

               

                    In this time i would like to speak about my favourite book, is a very old one,  the most ancient of the poems writtens in greece and in all the occidental world , i talk about “la iliada” a epic poem written bi “Homero” about tha war between the greeks and trojans that took place in the middle of the fifth century B.C.

                Obviously the most widespread image about the poem is the movie call “troy” of the year two thousand four, which i personally consider a very bad movie because it distort the true history in a poor adptation that kill main characters, omit important events and remove the mistic of the poem.

                Really the text tell the way in that “Agamenon” used a pretext to conquer troy invading it after two years of preparations. The pretext its the women of “Menelao” brother of “Agamenon”, “helena” and her infedelity with “Paris” son of the King of troy, they went away to troy and wait hidden in the city of “Priamo”. In this context “Aquiles”, son of “Zeus“ and “Tetis” achieve the glory  killing to “hector” the most famous trojan warrior after this one murder to the main squire of “Aquiles” called “Patroclo”.

                Among all the héroes that appear in the poem i have mi favourites. First “Ayax the great” the second one in strenght after “Aquiles”, he hace a very important rol in the history due to his martials abilities. Other carácter that is very cool (maybe the most) is “Diomedes” son of “tideo” known by hurts a pair of gods in battle.

bodybuilding (free post)

          

          If there is a topic that call my attention this it would be the bodybuilding. Known as a  discipline that only help to the estetic the certain this is that is much more that it, improve the strength, speed and tenacity of the entire body meanwhile keep your mind Sharp and clear.

So is not only lift a heavy weigth, also you need advanced knowledges in anatomy and “biomecánica” and obviosly the needed in the exercise teory to make correctly yours routine and reach you objective.   

In my personal case it helped to cure a scoliosis that i develop in my puberty, and actualy it help to maintain a healthy body also to keep mi metabolic rate very high, due to this I feel less cold and get cold less. I start old in the bodibuilding, only a four years but i have advance a lot until i start. I learned too much in this year Reading how to perferm of a good way the exercises and practising them in the gym. Of course that i have my favourite ones among all the execises these are;

The squat: crouch down is a very complete move, involve a seventen percent of the musculature of the entire body ( excluding the upper part of the body; chest, arms and shoulder) specially the legs that suffer in the execution of the movement. iF you do well, with appropiate technique you can see how much forcé have yours legs. I have come to lift around to one hundred fifteen kilograms.

Fourteen five angle leg press: similar body movement function that the squat (crouch down) but in a sitting machine, allow to you to lift to much heavy weigth tan the squat, i reach in my best days the two hundred twenty kilograms.

So like the greek, i am a convinced man, “healty mind in a healthy body”

Among all the holydays that i have had there are a lot of good experiences, although if i must decide for one, i will chose my congress of geography in Valdivia city.

                I went in the last year, i know, sounds strange but after the academic activities we have all the rest of the day to us.

                We are a few classmate, among this group some of my best friends in the career, we stayed in the house of one of our classmate, she calls Maria de los Angeles Gacitua.

                we stayed near to one week in the home of our friend “Angie”, and in this time we could know almost all the beutiful things the city.

                The first thing that i do in the morning was go to the academic activities in the “Austral” university, after, like group we doing a lot of activities, the zone is known due to his beer, so we knew a few local bars, other day we knew the landscape, place like “Fuerte Niebla” or “Jardin Botanico”. Even now i remember this places how the first time that i saw it.

                I enjoy this holyday because, we have all the things that we want, good company, great landscapes and weather, and of course good beer. 

Latin Stereotypes

                

                 If i think about stereotypes presents in latin america obviously there is a few that are the most characteristcs of all. The firts is the argentinean, they are arrogant and self-confident about his atributtes, other stereotype very known is the brazilean, they are very good dancers and always to be happy, and emerge trough his face in his smile. The mexician are maybe the most famous latin american stereotype, these are a enthusiast people that have a loud voice and a very particular accent.

                I think that the estereotyes are defined by a lot of factors that have influence in the the people. Social,  geographic, historical, familiar amorg others are only a few of the aspect that defined the people stereotype.

                Theres are countries that have enmity againts Chile like Peru, Bolivia and sometimes Argentina, but, there are countries that have a very good relationships with chile like Mexico, Ecuador or Brazil. The conclusion is: depends of the country the people of latin america will have a different percepcion of of the chileans, however this image emerge of politicals measures or acctions and not of the truly relation between the people of different comtries.

                Among the diverses stereotypes presents in chile we can find a lot of tipical expresions defined by socio-culturals and economic variables. Exist the “flaytes” , young people with bad habbits, and in the other end of scale there is the “cuicos” some like the “richs boys”

Favourite beach

               

                When i was a children i knew almost all the beachs  along the “Litoral Central” coast. I knew, Algarrobo, Mirasol, Cartagena, El Quisco, El Canelillo among others, but, if i must select my favourite one, it will be “El Tabo” beach .

                Located in the municipality of the same name, in  “San Antonio” province of the “V region of Valparaiso”. Its known due to its many beach that allows you to swim, and have a very good afternoon after the lunch with yourse friends.

                I go every year to this beach, because my grandmother have a home at this place. I have my own friends there.

                When i go to “el tabo” in the winter is for have a calm moment with my family or my girlfrien in the peaceful house of my grandmother. When i go in the summer the things are very diferent, first, i usually do with my frinds of “Santiago” and my girlfriend, and we go to a little beach of “Las Agatas” at the left of the well-known beach of “Isla Negra”. Some time we make trips to “Las Cruces” gully. And int he night, we party too.

                I went to “el tabo” beach in this year, with my sister and some friends to the house of my grandmother.

                I like this beach because i know it since i was a child, i know almost all the landscape of this place, and i know too many good people. Also i know how to find a semi-precious stone called agatas.

Dopesmoker ( the first cd you bought )

It was the 2000 years and i begin to listen more psychedelic music that suits my mood, a take a lot of bands between old psychedelic rock as Led Zeppelin or Deep Purple, metal or crossover bands, like Faith no More or witchfinder general, but i have a very favourite band that make my decided to bought almost one of they albums. this are a very strange one and i has search it through every the specialiced rocks or metal shop around Santiago.
 the cd was by a band from San Jorge, California called Sleep, they play a music stile called "Stoner Metal" which is oriented to the person that use some kind of "chemical substance" with the goal of reach a determite mind state.

 i bought it a tuesday of a cold june of the 2002, strangely i do not find it in any establish shop, i find it in street market in the corner of my home when i look for other things.

 i like it because is a band that generate a very special atmosferic environment plenish of slow and heavy rhityms, in Dopesmoker, sleep only plays one songs which hace one hour long that related the tale of the messiah of the "weedeaters", in a euphemism that defend the rigth of the person that decided use something that the most of people think thats is bad

  obviously the song that most like to me is dopesmoker, the only track of the CD. sometimes, when i training at the gym, and y need some extra peace y listen this great song.

 an unkown great band, you must listen it. up the stoners.

the most interesting field trip

my favourite field is one of two that was made in the subject "consersavacion de areas degradadas II" that was taugth to us by the teacher "Rodrigo Vargas".

i went in last year, in november after a congress in the city of Valdivia.

in this field trip we learn how to measure the topography levels and diverses metods for measure length with very longs measure tapes to calculate the area of a basin and estimate how much rains fall down in that surface, we learn too a lot of methodologies destined to protect the environment. also we must aplicate this knowledges to design a plan for managing this degraded areas and prevent the progress of the deterioration process that operate in this fields.

i really considered interesting this fields trip because it teach to us how to take care the environment in help of the society. the field trip was in a very poor municipality called "San Pedro de Melipilla" and the people that living in this place was doing a very inportant land use especially cultivating strawberry, with the time these soils were losing his properties, and the production of  vegetals by surface unit was decreasing. with this field trip we learn how to protect and area and the resources that involve.

A rebel in a decadent England (favourite movie)

  

      my favourite movie, overalls the other movies is "V for Vendetta", its a adaptation from the graphic novel of the same name by Alan Moore, directed by James McTeigue and produce by the Wachowsky brothers.
     Its a story about how "V" a masked insurgent againts a fascist english state figth for freedom of an entire people and destroy this terrorific government.
     I saw it the first time fives years ago, in the 2006 in a cold nigth of the winter, alone with a coffe in my hand.
     I like this movie because it remember my of too many thins about the life thats we forget frecuentrly. with masterly sentences  like " The people should not be afraid of the government, the government should be afraid of the people " or another one that say " Only I dare to what any other man would dare, nobody can dare to any more " and mi favourite one " I, as God, neither play at random nor believe in the chance " just shocked my anti-establishment soul.
     I think thats this movie is better than many other because not only entertain the people, its also have a very strong simbolic content about the truly needed of the people too. you should see it. freedom forever ¡

the most amuzing gig in my life was the slayer concert at 08/09/2006. this is the most powerful show that i been asisted. full with a lot of great songs that make me remember mi child time hearing this band. it was in the velodrome of the "estadio nacional".
I really enjoying this gig because the ban play all the hit that made they famous at the extreme heavymetal scene. also there is no one that can play riffs with the same strenght, speed, technique and quality. the show was one of the most well attended concert that i remember tobe be asist too.
i really decide to go to the show when i feel that i MUST say to the four greatest bands of the thrash (not trash) metal at last one time in my life, this bans are (metallica, anthrax, megadeth and of course slayer) these bands are totaly one of the most important bands ever in the metal scene.
slayer there is no a satanic band, is one of the few realistic bands that recognice the take advantages of a a cloud institucion like the church, and charge against it with the power of  the most heavy, hard and heavenly (ironic) metal band of the world.
