11 September

I don't live in the USA but I know that this day is hard for you.

In chile, this day has another meaning too...

On September 11, 1973, General Augusto Pinochet took control of Chile and established a military dictatorship that lasted 17 years.



But this day is often remembered because violence takes on our streets, and is most of the time feared to get out today. Lots of riots because of the government, killings, soldiers outside, I hear ambulances a lot. I moved to Santiago for the University, and I hate this day with all my might.

I don't want to go with politics, but I hated Pinochet, he was a killer and nothing can't change that. Allende was an asshole too...

But thanks to that asshole who violated human rights we all have to stay home every year on september 11th, because I don't want to be smacked by a rock or something.

My sister travels today and I'm worried about her, I hope she gets home safe.


And I'm sorry for the 11th September of yours in the USA, I know it sucks

My job beats your job

 I want to rant today, I had a very nice day that got screwed so fast, and it involves my career.

I must admit, studying business ISN'T that hard, but I'm in the best business school in my country, so I'm very proud of it, we have to work hard, got a job the first semester, need to sell, study, make a new company grow up and live. But today talking with some people I got the comment of "but why don't you sell x, it's too easy to sell! I could do that myself and win lots of money!"

That got me really mad.

After that, she commented about how it was easy to convince some man to buy your idea for their company in one minute, that you just have to tell them what they want to hear, and that got me really, really mad. It's not that it's hard to do it, but it's hard to achieve it, and those people don't understand that doing it isn't as easy as it sounds.

It's like saying that if you know the basics of medicine you can go and make a surgery to a man dying!

It gets me, it makes me feel like the people who studies laws and get told that if they know all the rules in their country they are done.

If you study some career I bet you have got some of this sickening comments.

Parties and videogames

I remember that when I was 6 I would meet with my friends and play some Mortal kombat or Mario Bros. Years later I remember that in my birthday party we would play Mario Party and Clayfighter 64, but nowadays people don't enjoy party videogames.

Or do they?


In the last year I moved to college and met lots of people, some of them have the same hobbies as I do, but what surprises me is that there is always a videogame for us when we are bored. Maybe some Call of Duty, maybe some Wario Ware, we are considering to get Rockband and the drums so we can be the musicians we always wanted to be. Of course there is always that videogame you want to show them up but isn't for the party.

But who cares, playing videogames with your friends it's getting back to your childhood, I'd say even better.

So what games nowadays are great for a party? I'd say Warioware for wii, since if you get drunk you get lots of laughs, maybe LBP, but is there any game that I'm missing?
