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

-

 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 mixed with my love of books also, so i enjoy a lot when i hear outside my house the delivery (i´m sorry Karl Marx i've failed you). So i try to find the bes editions, the most beatiful formats, translations, etc. And also the best offers, i'm not rich.

So, in this pandemic times, i've found a renewed hobby: read comics.

    Comics are an interesting hobby to distract yourself from the real world, and they are a good read.
    When I have enough money, I'm going to start collecting them

    It is a very fun hobby. Personally, I know of few such comics, although one of my favorites that looks quite similar would be "Watchmen".

    So funny the title and Marx reference haha. Comics bring us very attractive points of view of those plots, even the crazy ones. Following Andrew, "Watchmen" is the only comic that I've ever read.

The country i want to visit

 The country i want to visit it is the United Kingdom. I've always like that place, always get my atention when i see his beautiful landscapes and all the history that country has. That is where capitalism took his first real industrial steps, and it is the place where Marx thought about the revolution of the workers. It´s fascinating. I´ve already know that their food it is not the most attractive (fish and chips sounds quite bland), but it doesn't matter. I would like to go to historical places, museums, and discover not only england, but Wales too. But the main reason is: i've always dreamed about study there. Doing a Master's degree, or even a PHD. Manchester university, or the London University, specically, the LSE. I hope my dreams come true. I've dreamed about applying for the program 'Becas Chile', getting accepted, and then go to the LSE to do a MPhill/PHD about the subjects i've always liked: Philosophy, Sociology and Social research methods.

Blog post 6 - Time travel to the future

 I'm not sure if i want to go to the future. Imagine this: the present is scary as hell, it's quite a horrible place to live. There is literally fire in the ocean because of a oil spill. Mega corporations and billionares will go personally to the space (Musk, Branson, Bezos). We in Chile are in the middle of a mega-drought, and in te south pole there was a temperature of 18° celsius. I mean, we, today, are quite doomed. So in the future? I don't believe it's gonna be much better. I would like to stay right here, in Chile, and see our shores dissapear. We don't know yet if it is possible to go to the future, but if we can, i would stay here, and probably, around 300 years in the future. i don't hace too much faith in the human race to save the planet, and i think it's gonna be ver post-apocaliptyc. Like Mad Max where there are wars for the last fresh water. Or in like Waterworld where the poles melted completely and all the reamain human race lives in the wat...

Post 5 - My future job

 I'm studying Social Work, so my future dream job it's related to that. I've always think that the elderly people in this country are left behind; pensions, social security, and even public policies are not always done with the elderly on mind. So i would like to work on the SENAMA (Elderly national service). I would like to investigate, to travel across the country to check, evaluate and oversee how the elderly people are treated in their retirement homes, or if there are public policies in the Municipality that needs to be fixed. I just want a salary that allows me to have a decent home, and let me help my parents economicaly. I would like to do a master´s degree, apart from my specialization on undergraduate. A master degree could help me in my porpuse of work on the state's administration. Probably i could take a Social Work master degree, but ther is also a very cool one about systemic analysis applied to society, that investigate the society as a complex mechanism...
