Blur

The true is I don't have a favourite band because I'm always changing the musical group that I hear more than others, but Blur is a band that I hear since I
have like 13 years and it's one of my favourites.
This band was born in 1989 in England, and became in one of the most important Brit Pop bands.
Blur it's formed for Damon Albarn (vocalist and keyboardist), Graham Coxon
(guitarist, who retires in 2002),Alex James (bajist) and Dave
Rowntree (drummer).
They have released five albums in their musical career, that have been called: "Leisure", "Moddern life is Rubbish", "Parklife","The Great Escape", "Blur", "13" and finally, "Think that".
Their lyrics speak about the things of daily life and some of them don't have a specific meaning, but I really love the sound of their songs, especially the guitar and the voice of Damon.
Some of my favourites song of this band are: "Coffe and Tv", "Charmless man", "Parklife","The Universal" and "Out of time", but I can't choose one of they, because I like all equally. Blur has never been come to Chile since I like it, but if they come I would do everything possible to see them live!
So I will annexed a video of Blur, so you can hear a song of them.

My Nintendo DSi


The piece of technology that I really love, it is my Nintendo
Dsi.It is a portable console of game created by nintendo that it went out to the Japanese market on November 1, 2008, but In latinoamerica on May 13, 2009.
My parents gave me the last Christmas, because they did'nt want that I was spending the money I was collected.
I use, most of the time, for play nintendo's games, mostly, listen to music, surf the Internet, take pictures and edit them, etc.
In the summer I used it always, but since the classes started I use it occasionally, usually to listen to music, because I have not had much free time.
I like a lot my nintendo, because I love play video games and I can download it from internet and there are many types of games of action, adventure, simulation. etc.
Also, I can play with other people who have a nintendo dsi or people of the world, online.
My life would be just a little boring without my nintendo, because I would be completely disconnected from the world when I when I'm not in my house, however with my Nintendo I can go everywhere.
For all these thing I don't change my nintendo DSi for nothing.

Max Weber


Max Weber was born in 1864, in Erfurt in Thuringia, Germany.He was a German sociologist and political economist, who profoundly influenced social theory, social research, and the remit of sociology itself. He is typically cited, with Émile Durkheim and Karl Marx, as one of the three principal architects of modern social
science, and has variously been described as the most important classic thinker in the social sciences.
He married Marianne Schnitger in 1893, a cousin, who became known leader of the feminist movement in Germany, in the years before World War I work in the sociology of religion, Since the beginning of the First World War until the end of 1915, he worked as a reserve officer in Heidelberg, to be responsible for the direction of nine military hospitals.
In 1918 he accepted a professorship in Political Economy at the University of Vienna
He die on 14 June of 1920
I admired this sociologist because He is the principal exponent of the comprensive sociology, and I am interested in the form that he raises of studying the individuals, understanding them from his context and not as a number.

When I was seventeen

In 2007, for my birthday, a friend gave me a card made for her, was a star and was decorated with glitter and sequins, and inside it said very nice things.
I was very happy to receive it, because the made things for me have a special meaning, because they require time and dedication, and furthermore that the gift was very nice, made me feel good knowing that it was important to her as a friend.
That was the most significant gift that day and also a surprise birthday that my
friends prepared for me, there was all my friends, and people who some time ago I didn't see and even made a very beautiful "piñata" that was saying: "happy birthday
coni!".
I was really surpised and all this, and this made me feel so happy.I really thank my friends, because that was one of the best days of my life:)
