Idols?

I have not any idol... Maybe I can considerate some people who mades something big, in some aspects like music, football, literature, Etc. I see all the people, however important it is, with some admiration, but never idolatry. When I was child, I felt like idols the players of the selection (see last post), but the football player are mere mortals; they also get drunk y crash their cars! And not to speak of the musicians!; lot of parties, lot of girls, drugs; an enviable life, but empty. They're always alone. Now, I admire some young musicians of little bands of screamo, from Europe, USA or Japan, but only for the music that their create, and I don't considerate them like idols or anything like that. They are mortals too! Any case, I would not like neither to be an idol a day, but the girls tempts a lot!

The classic Colombia - Argentine

The last tuesday, at the nigth, happened that some years ago I was waiting... The football games between Colombia and Argentine are a really classics of the south american football, since the unforgettable Sunday of september of 1993, when in match of definition of the group B for the world cup of USA 94'. These evening of winter, in the city of Buenos Aires, the great Colombian team, starring by great players like Carlos Valderrama of Faustino Asprilla, left to the field to seal its classification. The fiel of the "Estadio Monumental" of Buenos Aires was, until this day, unbeaten, so the possibilities of Colombia for classficate were very small, but the history change that day... Colombia defeats Argentine 5 - 0. I still remembered this day, I was four, but I was very happy, and watching how all the country becamed paralyzed after the victory. After this day, Colombia, a little country compared with Argentine, (in football) always given surprises to it. And the last tuesday happened again. Colombia wins 2 -1!

A real piece of art

The fact of making an album cover, requires some content of art. That becomes more intense in some musical genres more specifics and vanguards. In the case of the music that I listening, there's some beautiful album covers, Often made with simple drawings or sketches. One of them is the album cover of the split beetween the italian band "La Quiete" whit the german band "Louise Cyphre". I listened that album arround six months ago, Is a musical piece very frenetic and adrenalinic, That contrasts greatly with the art of gentle strokes of the cover, that I thougth very similar as the french art of "Belle Epoque" at the end of 19th century. I like it too, because I feel that is something that I can make for myself. And the contrast between the black and red, and the yellow of the back are very, very beautiful

Why I'm studying geography

I don't really wanted to study geography, I wanted to study sociologhy.

But the destiny didn't want that me study sociologhy, I read a lot of boring, large and old books when I still was at school, everyone was telling me: "That carreer is so boring, and hard to get job" I didn't matter that anyone saying, I was very enthusiastic about studying sociology and believed that it was my vocation, the only problem was my score in the PSU, that would probably don't let me studying sociologhy. So did happened, my score was low. Then I had any posibility for enter to a public university (in Santiago) for studying sociologhy, Then I started to look at other possibilities, and when I thought that it would be impossible, appeared a carreer what my brother wanted to study when he was a little child. Geography. I remember not having a lot of expectations, but then I managed to adapt very well, even today. And sociologhy, now I discovered that it's very, very boring!

My favourite subject

My favourite subject at the moment is soil conservation 2 with the teacher Rodrigo Vargas. The subject is about how can we to control the erosion, and he teach us some technicals for that. The technicals are compilates in the book "The manual for the control of erosion" were are a lot of works with their respectives graphics and indications for them.

The course includes some mathematics technicals to be able to build those works and calculates things like slope, water flow, flow velocity and more.

I'm very interested in this area because I think that mixture a lot of physical geography with some very usefull for the people, with tangible results for daily living.

The theacher it's a great professional, he had writed a lot of publications about erosion control and his highly respected at the national level. Also he's a very sympatic person and very sociable with students
