Coming back with an Ex (easy, i'm talking about comics)

Image
 For literally years, in Mercadolibre website, there was an product that never sold, never moved from there. And ocasionally, ive always come back to see it. It was kind of expensive (?), but i always dreamed to finallly having the money to purchased it. And the day arrived. It was a comic book, a very niche, little-known one: "Madman" from Michael Allred. The day it arrived i was so happy, because ten years later, i'm coming back with an old love: comic books.  There is a ton of comicbooks, from the well-known DC comics or Marvel, but also, there is a lot of 'indie' comics, or adult ones, that catch my attention. In those comics, there is no "good vs evil" plot; it is more complicated than that. 'Magog' for example literally questions the rol of superheroes. 'Persépolis' and 'Maus', tell us very dark and crude stories. 'Here' tells the story of a place, very abstract.  And now, i'm able to have those comics. This is m...

Blog 3 - My Profession

Image
 This time i gotta talk about my career. It's not my profession yet, because i'm studying right now in university but i hope i can dedicate myself to this in the future.  My career is Social Work. It's a discipline that combines a lot of the general aspects on social sciences, and puts them in a blender, that tries to reach a wide range of applications on real life. Social Work works on "the tension", the space where structures failed to the people, and this discpline tries to understand that tension, and it's goal is to help those in need in that tension. It's a very appealing career, because a can learn a wide range of topics, on sociology, psychology, philosophy, history and political science. And historically, has more employability. The most jobs come from the public sector (municipality, the state) and i like that, i like to work on the public sector, that's why i choose this university. Being able to study from dense theory, like epistemology, a...

Blog 2 - The best concert i've ever had

Image
 The best concert i've been, was the Lollapalooza festival in Chile, 2019. I remember it was a Friday, 29th of march. That day fisrt, i came to universityto attend class, and after luch, i moved to Parque O'Higgins to enjoy all day the different Shows. Ther was a lot of artists, and i enjoyed Clairo, Jorja Smith; but my main goal it was to see Kendrik Lamar. The final show, late that night but waited for him. He is a rapper, a modern poet for a lot of people and crítics; he even win a Pullitzer award. I arrived like 1 hour before the show of Kendrick starts, and i waited patiently. Ther was a lot of expectations becuase we know he will never come in a solo show to Chile, only in a big festival like this. It was crowded, everyone was expectant. In some point i literally think that the whole thing was about to explode. I made a friend with a girl next to me, and we protected each other form the crowd. When the show begun, it was absolutely awesome, a memory for my entire life. It...
