Why I’m studying geography

When I was in the school, in “enseñanza media”, really I don’t have idea what study, people asked me: Christofer, what you want to study? And I responded: I don´t know, something, a humanist career. In school I stayed in humanist elective and I had good marks so I thought that my abilities going to this way. In the middle of ‘cuarto medio’ I though in study journalism but I discard this option quickly. I liked the history so I think in study pedagogy in history but really I don´t had completely safe so I talked with my history teacher, with who had many confidence, and she told me that geography could be good for me, she studied history at Universidad de Chile and she knew a little the geography career.

Well, I was never too much safe of study geography, until I entered to the Universidad de Chile to study geography in 2013. Little by little the geography began to convince me I think that study a career is like when you like a woman.

First for some reason, she attracts your attention and you start to think about it and you want to know more about her. Little by little you begin to approach her, and you start to discover good and bad things.  Depending how good are those things you will want to still to approach her.

You will have some troubles with her, in a moment you don´t understand her and you will want to leave her… but also will have good moments that make you love her…

 

  

 

A movie I'd like to watch again

Well, the last time I have seen many good movies and there are many movies that I'd like to watch again. A special movie is Dallas Buyers Club, I knew this movie because was nominated to the Academy Award as best picture together with other good movies like “12 years a slave”(the movie that won) and the protagonist Matthew McConaughey won the Academy Award for best actor, also Jared Leto won Academy Award for best supporting actor in 2013

The plot is about Ron Woodroof an electrician and rodeo cowboy guy, in addition homophobic, who is diagnosed with AIDS, in the beginning he refuses to accept his disease but he researches about AIDS and realizes he contracted the disease for have unprotected sex with a prostitute and use intravenous drug. So, for survive he must take a drug (AZT) but that drug it is killing inside, so he get another better medicine, and in a moment begins to make business with the new drug to help other patients and avoid they consume AZT.

In the beginning he offered the medicine to people sick and particularly to homosexuals or transvestites but couldn’t sell because he is a homophobic and not treated well his potential customers. All this change when he knows to Rayon, a transvestite that helps Ron to sell the medicine between homosexuals and transvestites. Little by little Roy is changing his views over the homosexuals and he befriends of Rayon and generates a a close relationship. 

Pride

Well, write this post it will be difficult because when I think in something that I am proud of, not appears a clear answer. I think that until now I didn’t make something special or worthy of respect, I not will write in that sense of pride. I think pride is something that you feel with clarity when you are older.

I’m going to write about little things that I make and make me feel satisfied.

When I pass a complicated level in videogames without help, make me feel so proud of myself, and this sensation it increase when I pass a videogames at 100% or over the 100% in a specifically case, like Donkey Kong Country saga for Super Nintendo.

Another thing that I’m proud of is when I play football and I do a good goal or make a good shot or play but the best thing that make me feel so satisfied is when I do a nutmegging, little life’s happiness.

Also, when I understand a subject (SIG or English for example) I feel good and powerful. This is one of the best things that make me feel satisfied.

So I repeat this post it was the most difficult because I don´t have too much ideas.

Movie review: This is England

“This is England” is a British movie released in 2006, written and directed by Shane Meadows. The story is about Shaun, a young skinhead (12 years old) that lives in England in 1983. Before, I saw another movie about a British child that lives in England in that time; “Billy Elliot” is the name, but is totally different in terms of plot, anyway Billy Elliot also is a good movie.    

This is England tells Shaun story; a child whose father died in the Falklands War, this fact is decisive along the story. In the beginning is shown to Shaun in the school, fighting against a boy that made a joke about his father's death, Shaun has no doubt in fight for this reason.

Later, when leaves the school he find with a skinhead group, whose leader is Woody (this character is very friendly) so they start to talk, Woody feels sympathy for Shaun, and in a moment, Woody invites to Shaun to join the group. Shaun is a solitary child, then he enters to the group and start to dress similar to Woody, in fact he begins to drees like a skinhead style, even shaved. These scenes that show the Shaun transformation are very funny; for example when he and the rest of the group enter to the houses and begin to make their own. One of my favorite scenes is when Shaun and Smell begin a romance.

The story change, in a radical way when Combo appears, he expresses nationalist and racist views, and try to influence the group to adopt his views. Shaun is influenced by Combo, because he uses the death of Shaun's father as a means to influence and keep to Shaun following his ideas. The first time when Combo appears with other guy, is so uncomfortable, in general Combo is a guy who causes discomfort. This part I found very well done because I felt also very uncomfortable.

Finally Shaun realizes what kind of person is Combo product of conflict with Milky, who apparently dies, but he not dies.

Caught my attention the actuation of Thomas Turgoose who interprets to Shaun, I think that is an excellent performance. In general terms I found this movie very good, absolutely recommended.

A Exhibition

Well, Today I´m going to tell you the last exhibition I went to, it about of WWE show in Santiago, in the 2011.  

In the summer of 2011 I went to see a WWE show in Movistar Arena, it was a great show, very enjoyable. Before 2011, WWE come to Chile in two opportunities but at this moment I don´t have interested in wrestling.  I liked wrestling when I was child, when the company was WWF (the attitude era) I liked wrestler like The Rick, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H, etc. but in a moment leave transmit in Chile so I never see more WWE in the TV, until 2008 approximately , when WWE started again to transmit in the TV.

When I went, the first thing that capture my attention was the punctuality, the show began at 8:30 and at this time started, nothing of delay. The show started with mid-carter wrestling, this was very funny because one of them spoke in Spanish (he was from Puerto Rico) so he insulted the public (in a funny way) said thing like “Peru is better than Chile”, obviously the public start to boo him, later appear another wrestler to fight against him and give a lesson from Chilean public.

Another great funny thing that happened was the fight between John Morrison and Sheamus, because Morrison insults to Sheamus in a Chilean way.

Another thing that I enjoyed was the wrestler music entrance, live and direct is most exciting. My favorite was the CM Punk theme entrance, the name of the song is “this fire burns” by  Killswitch Engage

The main event was the fight of John Cena versus CM Punk, two famous wrestler, people was so excited, many chant in favor and against Cena, the public enjoyed that. The fight finished with John Cena’s Attitude Adjustment over CM Punk from the top rope.     

 

Something that I'm reading

At the moment I’m reading some mangas, the last I started reading (two weeks ago) is Trigun. Well, Trigun is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Yasuhiro Nightow, the first part of manga already ended, in the 90´s and the second part (Trigun Maximum) ended in 2007. This manga belong to the genus of weird/space western, Action, Comedy-drama all covered with a cyberpunk style.

Trigun narrate the history of man known as "Vash the Stampede" and two Bernardelli Insurance Society employees, Meryll and Milley, who follow him around in order to minimize the damages inevitably caused by his appearance. Sixty billion double dollars is on Vash´s head. Wherever he goes a disaster is caused, either destruction or death because he is constantly pursued by a lot of hunters sent by his brother and enemy Knives.  But Vash is a pacifist, so he tries to prevent someone dies, so that he have a body full of scars.

At the present I´m reading the second part, Trigun Maximum, that consists by 84 chapters which I have already read 20. Every chapter has around 30 pages.

Another manga that I’m reading is Naruto, that is near to ended, only lack 4 chapter to finish. Naruto start in 1997 But I met Naruto anime in 2006, and start to read the manga in 2010. So I have a lot of years follow the series. Every Wednesday is published a chapter.

So Naruto is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto, narrate the history of Uzumaki Naruto a ninja of Konoha village, whose dream is become a Hokage. During his way to convert in Hokage, he must confront with powerful enemies. I like to much this manga, is one of my favorite. At the moment Naruto have 696 chapters.

 

 

Special skill

Well, I think that I have a very special skill which is remember unimportant things, I would have liked write about my supersonic ear, my supernatural strong or my wonderful clairvoyance power, but I have to keep it in silence.  

Really I’m going to write about my good memory. I don’t know if is a special talent or no but is interesting write about this.

Well, I think I have a good memory because when I met with my friends or my family I am the guy who remembers one thing that nobody remembers, and the rest say to me: “how can you remember that ****”.  So, in a moment (when I was in the school) I started writing things I remember in a notebook in case that I forget this moment. At this moment I stopped to write but I still remember (I imagine saying this watching the sunset and the wind blowing, moving my hair). Obviously you cannot remember everything and don´t have sense remember all.

 

 

 

 

I don't' tell what I remember all the time, that would be annoying to all. Just in a few moments.

 

 

 

Also, like other persons, I remember unimportant things occasionally (frequently), are those things that you say “why I remember that”
