First of all i have to recognize that im not a tech lover. While my friends used to play with the last electronic device like "Super nintendo" or after "play station", i prefered expend my time watching tv, even the chilean tv if the cable system was to expensive to have it in home.

But with time, the tecnology became more atractive, expanding its potencial more far than videogames. In that poinit of the history, I started to be interest in new devices who meet many functions in its own function. This the case of my favorite piece of technology: The Ipod Touch. Even i detest all the "mac atmosphere" (regarding style, fashion, hipsters expectatives), this device became in a close friend to me.

The iPod Touch is a portable music and video player, handheld game console, and email-capable personal digital assistant, designed and marketed by Apple Inc. It is not a smartphone, though its design and operating system closely resemble Apple's iPhone.

I have it since 2009, and its really change my way to hear music and capture my experiences in pictures and video.  I use it almost everyday to hear music when i take the bus or subway, the weekends in a party or meetings with friends, and specially when i do workout at gym.

The other function that i love it, is the potencial to be used as a camera. Its portability and its easy way to function, facilitates the record of all this funny moments that life gives to you day a day.

For all this reasons, its imposible to think a life without it. God Bless the Ipods!!!!

Who is the dreamer who dreams the dream?

For a psychologist like me, the word "dreams" means a lot o f things at the same time. First of all, dreams are an expressión of our unconscious. They are an unconscious thinking who was desfigurated by our conscious. By its desfiguration we can "see" it in our dreams, but we have to do a work to interpretate them, and discover the real message down this obligatory desfiguration.

In other way, "dreams" also means aspirations, expectatives, or wishes we want to get. All of us needs a dream to follow. This dream is like a goal we want, but sometimes our dreams are so irrealist that we never will get them.

For that reason i like to have dreams, but i prefered this kind of dreams you can get in some point of your life, dreams you can work to find them. For example, get the Phd. is a dream to me. If i work every day, i know i will meet this goal in the future.

Finaly, "dreams" talks about a social utopy, about what kind of society we want to build in the future. I make a bet for our country, y think we will have a better future, with less poberty, injustice, and violence. This dream depends of us.

Books of my life

 

Books are really important in my life. Since i was a kid, i read a lot of books. In school we used to read story books by Barco de Vapor publishers like "Terror in Winipeg" and "Murder on the Canadian Express". Obviously, like every chilean kid, i read Papelucho and i enjoyed whith this beautifull stories by Marcela Paz.

In the secondary, i remebered many books who introduce me into the big world literature like "Madame Bovary", "Cien años de Soledad", and "Niebla" by Miguel de Unamuno.

After, in the university i was forced to leave the literature by books of my field of studies: Freud s completes editions, Lacan s seminaries, Philosophy and Sociology authors etc, are my favorites since this moment.  Actually, i read three or four books at the same time. I choose one or another depending of my mood, time to read, or by the simply wish to read something special.

 

Sometimes i become to read a literature book, especially of poetry. If i have to think in one book to recomended you, i have no doubts: You must read any book by our national poet Jorge Teillier. You shouldn t lose it in your life!
