Post 7 (Childhood's Scars)

Childhood’s scars. I’m full of them, specially my knees, that in winter looks like a couple of beautiful purple maps. In any case until today I get injured as a child (even it’s like a karma thing that every year I have a big fall and cause of that I’m gradually increasing my collection), in this post my intention it’s to talk about the scars that I’ve made in my childhood, cause the nostalgic memories that they evoke (at least this recently scars were made in moments that I can’t remember as nostalgic… Has not passed the necessary time to begin to say that every past moment was better or something like that). One of the biggest scars that I've done is on my right arm, it's a scald, and was the result of having sat at the top of the oven in a kitchen with boiling water, which I thought would serve as a homemade seesaw. The kitchen felI on me with the boiling water, and then you can imagine the rest. I was 4 years old at that time so I can’t remember anything else but my love for the seesaws. I can also remember a scar that I made in my knee –one of many- while I was running in the backyard of a parish church with some friends –in the 90's, when I went to catechesis-. In that time I stumbled, don’t remember with what, and fell over a rock that let me a bloody gash. Another chilhood scar that i have is on my top lip, and was made by a dog that i'd have ("angie" was her name and she bit me cause i got in her house, that was too a doll house were my family kept some toys).

As i write this post i'm remembering a song from Pink Floyd, and in fact the name of this post is in dialogue with that song, call "chilhood's end". Although that song is about ephemeral things, and scars are things that instead of that remain in our bodies, even this kind of marks in the long fade in time, and as the song says "everything one day will cease, all the iron turned to rust; all the proud men turned to dust, and so all things time will mend, so this song will end"

Hi! Today I’m going to talk about my favorite piece of technology, the one with I have a relationship of hate and love, but lately more hate than love. I’m referring to my cell phone, my still piece of technology –comparing with the last advances of the market-. I love it cause keep me in contact with my family, friends, boyfriend, calls centers and who knows with what others guys. And I hate it cause the machine has around 6 years old and it’s battery is always reminding me that (anyway it’s chinese disposable device). This cell phone was a kind of forced gift from my boyfriend, cause at first this phone belonged to him, but then he bought a new one and left this old one apart in a drawer. When he gave it to me and tried to sell it, I didn’t accepted it cause that was a very coarse way of making money knowing that this cell phone was a gift for him in the past too (from an ex girlfriend that he had). So I told him to give it to me for free cause he has never spend nothing in it’s acquisition.

Now I’m looking for another cell phone cause it’s a real problem to have this one, for example, when I start to write a sms, the most of the time this irritant device is turned off in the moments when I need it most. In fact I have a new one, but the problem with this one is that I didn’t registered the contacts in the sim card, so now I have to transfer the numbers one by one to my new cell phone (it’s not that I have too much contacts, it’s just that is a bored work).

This was a difficult choice.  Have to say that this is only one of my favorites pictures, cause there’s a lot of significant pictures that I really want it to share, but for while I will started with this. At first I think about putting a familiar picture, but I didn’t found one that really transmitted what I liked–the one that I found I needed to scan it, and I didn’t have the medias to do that-, so I stayed with this one, that is about a house in a place that I used to visit with my family call “Lagunillas”. It’s located in the mountain, in the way to San José de Maipo, about 2 hours from the center of the city and an hour from my house –that is closer because I live in Puente Alto-. This house is in the back of a refuge that we visit, belonging to a family friend. As far I know this house has owners –at least at that time, in the 2007, cause lately I’ve been noticed that the people that use to take care of it has gone far from Santiago-, but looks like abandoned. For me the image has all the spirit of that place, that cloudy sky, the back scene of the big mountains, the warm of the spring sun, the high and dry –similar to the simplicity of that song from Radiohead-.

Lot of time that I haven’t gone to there, hope to get back soon…

Post 4

Hi classmates!Today i'm going to talk about my life situation. And that because it's almost consuming my entire thoughts, so in this moments it's difficult for me to develop another more interesting topic for you, sorry :(. I did't mention in my first post that i'm in third year of sociology, and before that i went through the humanistic bachillerato program. But my story -at least the one that explains in part why i'm living in a state of apathy- started at the end of the 2007, when i get graduated from my highschool. In that epoch i was very lost about what i was going to do after. Althought in the PSU essays i didn't have good scores, my marks in highschool were good, so the closely possibility to my future was to get  in the university. But how the popular voice said that some people don't know to where the bus is going to, i didn't even knew if what i have to take was a bus. So, in others words, no longer metaphorically, i was so confused about my future, that i took the obvious way -given my circumstances-, whitout really want it. From that point to now, i haven't change my mind about my lack of enthusiasm with the desicion that i took, so the last months i've been very sad about the general state of  my life without much achievements -for example, my marks, that were never goods, now are awful cause of that, or maybe as a result of that apathy-. For no extending more this post, i can tell you guys that now i'm felling that i have exhausted a process in my life, so in this moments am very decided of abandon the university for a while and dedicated my time to others activities that i hope, will brought me more happiness.

Sorry for the extension of the post, see you soon!

A career-related website... That I enjoy visiting?

http://www.marxists.org/espanol/index.htm

This website is only about lefty/marxists readings, from the selfsame Karl Marx to Ernesto "Che" Guevara, passing through the famous physicist Albert Einstein and the french philosopher Jaques Derrida. In the case of very recognized wing left authors (like the already named author of the communist manifesto or his closely collaborator, F. Engels) this internet archive has a very complete bibliography, composed by entire books, articles and expositions, but in the cases of not -that-closely to marxist authors, this site has pieces of  books (chapters, abstract) related with the main left topic. This website also has the spanish and a-lot-of-others-languages versions, but the most completely is the english one, cause of the abundance and diversity of authors and archives.

I discovered this web site during my pass through “Teoría I”, a subject that I took in my first year of career. There we saw a lot of Marx readings, and for me was a very cheap way to provide me (cause I didn’t have de need of buy photocopies) of material to that class. In that time I use to visit it a lot, now I don’t have much time to do it.

I like this site because I didn’t have any knowledge about this kind of website, and was comfortable to discover it. Hope you’ll enjoy –as a usefull online library- as much as I did.

Catching up with my blog

I use to be like this -in this state of irresponsibility- at the end of the semester, but this semester in particulary has been harder (or better said, has been hard) than others that I lived at university, so I want to excuse myself, in first term, for being such an anattended person with my blog.

In second term I wanna comment about a TV series that I've finished this last vacations. I'm not very fan of them cause I don't have the means to download them or see it on the internet(and in the particular case of the TV series that I wanna talk, this one ended about 6 years ago, so I couldn't see it on TV now), cause of my numerous family, the computers are always busy, so the time for each of my sisters to use them are reduced only for academy stuff (almost cause my 2 younger sisters are addicted to facebook). So in short, I don't see TV series very much. But, happened that my boyfriend do have the means to see them, so we started last year seeing "Six Feet Under", a TV series about a family that manage a funeral home, so in every chapter the issue of death is present. That in short, cause obviously the drama is about a lot of others topics, and if the description doesn't sound attractive, the series is incredibly excellent and compelling. I don't want to invite you to see it, cause maybe my enthusiasm will make your enthusiasm grow in a way that will consume the posibilty of believe that my suggestion about this series is wrong, so you're gonna hate me, so take this comment only as a description of my problems with TV series, and this TV series.

Hoping get better with my times, 

Greetings from my still non-reptilian form

PS: The picture below is a very realistic and explicative image about all that I have said, if you don't want to read it. Enjoy!

 

Post 1, WRRRR!

Hi. Or may I say WRR! like the dinosaur I will be.
My name is Beatriz Rubio and I'm a very chaotic kind of messy girl and now the internet will unfortunatly be a part of this. I was born in santiago city, from that country with the name of a hot spice, you know, the one with the 33 underground guys. But I don't want to talk about typical things like my age, how I like dates, or my secret obsession of dressing like hannah montana. Let's hear something from YOU. Yes, that person who's reading this and apparently don't have any other thing to do, wich is great, 'cause this is the point of it, just take your precious time away. I'm very very insterested in what you say, so I'm gonna tell you that you can write all you want under this post or better, you can stop reading this and go have some quality time with your love ones. (I recommend the option one).
So that's will be all for tonight my dear audience. Don't sleep with strangers and brush your teeth carefully.
