A book
Since I was a kid I am always reading a book. When I was kid I read a lot of fantasy and science fiction; I read "Fundación" of Isaac Asimov, The Hobbit, some of Ray Bradbury, etc. Then, I read a lot of drama and others realist novels. A year ago, I wanted to read unknown novels, not the classic authors, and I found the book that I want to talk about: "Pubis y otras obsesiones" of Tito Matamala.
A realist novel with stories where love and desire take center stage. Mainly desire, but a desire that is more an obsession, an obsecene obsession. And the other side, love is not seen in the happy way, but in the other parth, in the lack of love, in the sadness, in the desire to want to do something, repairing things, and not be able to.
In one storie you see a teacher trying to seduce students. In others you see a man exchanging mail with a woman. In another to a man fan of Seinfeld. Among other goods stories.
I like this book for the narrative, for the form Tito Matamala describe the obsession of the main character. For the stories, some also have humor but that doesn´t take away the decadent atmosphere of the book.

I will talk about an artist that in my opinion deserves more recognition, Jorge Quien. He is an
illustrator, visual artist and Chilean comic artist.
I met him about three years
ago, at the Museum of Fine Arts there was an exhibition about his comic called
"Los Sofistas". I remember that I went through many rooms without
finding a work that I loved and captivated, in fact there were many works that
defied the definition of art to be so little thing. But, from the first moment
I saw the exhibition of "Los Sofistas" I fell in love with the
drawings and wanted to have the comic. At that time, I was working, so it did
not cost me to raise money and I bought the comic.
"Los Sofistas" I
loved it, it's an innovative story with innovative characters that come out of
the ordinary; achieving demonstrates that Jorge has a great intellectual level.
I have seen some work that he
has done and what I like most are his stories, the way he tells the stories and
his illustrations.
He has a web page where he
uploads some things about him, the truth has gone up very few things, but it is
still worth visiting the page, so I leave it here: http://www.jorgequien.com/

I will talk about my friend Matías. I´ve known him since we were very young, since we lived very close; but at the moment we just greeted each other and talked very little. When i was five or six year old we started going out to play soccer in a park with other friends.
He is very funny and friendly; in addition, he always given me his support in everything I do, and he always listens to me.
We are known for doing certain things depending on our age. When we were kids we always played football, it was years when went out every week to play. When we were ten years old, we went out everyday to ride a bicycle. When we were twelve, we started to get together just to talk and we went to eat hot dogs. At fourteen we started playing videogames online, we spent all day playing, haha. Unfortunately, his computer started to fail and after that we just got together to talk. Over the years we have seen less and less because he has changed houses many times and each time he lives further away from me.
One of the funniest things was to ride bicycle with him, every time we went out he fell down. Well, the truth was falling in almost all the activities we did, even playing football, haha.
Currently we talk everyday for whatsapp, and also, from time to time I will visit him at home, but both because he lives far away, as for my studies and him work, we haven´t seem each other much these years.

A walk
My relatives have always been lazy to walk, so I do not keep memories of great walks with them. If I keep some memories of walks with my friends and now I will tell you one that was very funny.
It was on vacation a few years ago, we had gone to the cabins of a friend's grandfather, located in Pirque. Up to swimming pool had the grandfather. I went with six friends: Joaquín, Gabriel, Gerardo, Matías, Marcelo and Cristobal.
It was the second day of being in Pirque when we decided to climb a hill near the cabins. I only went with three friends (Gabriel, Marcelo and Cristobal) to the others I was too lazy to go for a walk.
The trip at first was difficult, we had to cross a small watercourse, then go through an area where there were many thorns (we were all injured, haha). Also the slope of the slope was very pronounced, so it cost us to climb the hill. Later we arrived at a field with many plantations, where there were only two houses, which had solar panels. There were also many horses and one of my friends is scared by what he constantly told us: And if they come to attack us (it was very funny). Near the field we took many fruits and we sat down to eat them, they were delicious. Then we came to the side of the hill where there was a small waterfall, it was very beautiful, and you could also see a hydroelectric from there. Finally, we continued walking for a long time, without knowing where we were going, and without wanting to, we arrived at the haha cabins.
In this trip the places we visited were not very nice (only the small waterfall was), but with my friends we had a great time, it was very funny to see that four people without any ability to climb hills did, of course, with many complications, haha. And for that reason I would repeat it, to return to have fun with my friends walking with many difficulties.

A Photograph
When I was a kid I did not like the photos. I always argued when my family wanted a picture of us. But they forced me to be in the photo, a good decision because now I have many photos with my familia.
The photo I´ve choosen must have been take in about 2008-2009. I remember that my hair was very short and that I had a "Slayer" shirt, I loved that shirt. Apart from me, in the picture was the family of my house: My parents, my brother, my nephew and my grandparents; And also, my family of the house of my uncle: My aunt, my uncle, my two cousins and their three puppies. The photo wast taken in the house of my uncle.
I´d like that photo because we were very happy. I dont´t remember what we were celebrating, but i think it was "18 de septiembre" because we ate a lot of met and some of my family drank many beers and they were so drunk. They are very funny when they are drunk. Me and my cousins bathed in the pool all afternoon. Then my family began to play throwing others to the pool. Then, with my cousins we went to see"The king lion", very good movie.
I don´t remember much of my life at the time. I remember that I had to go to school; that I didn´t go out much, instead I played a lot of "Playstation"; I also remember when I went to the stadium whit my father to see the Colo-Colo.
Unfortunately, I don´t remember where the photo is. I will look for it and if I find it I will upload it.

A Job
I am so dispersed, and for that i can´t choose just one job, therefore, i will say just one job that i would like to do, because really are so much jobs.
But first, i worked in a bussines where they sold many things, specially school supplies. I really liked that job, especially because I worked with friends and I could get all the goodies I wanted to eat haha.
Retaking the first paragraph, i would like write so many books, both research or philosophy and novel or poems. I would like to do this work because I really like to read a lot, I also like to learn, therefore I also read scientific journals or essays. That is also a necessary quality to do this job, and others are: to be persistent, to be innovative, to have imagination, etc. Unfortunately, i don´t have all this quality´s, but I am so persistent, and I like so much this job. My inspirations are: Roberto Bolaño, Julio Cortazar, Svetlana Aliéxevich, Henry Lefebrve, etc.

When I was child, the tv show that I see so much was Friends. I don´t remember exactly when I started see this series, but I think that was when I have 8 years old, and I saw this with my family. I saw Friends all the days on the channel Warner Bros, and when Netflix showed all the seasons, I saw this many times. Friends it about the life of six friends, both good and bad moments, but with humor. The series ran from 1994 and finished on 2004, with a total of ten seasons. I love this series because it is very funny; to the character things happen that makes me laugh so much. Also all the characters are different, and they personalities stand out a lot, making the scenes more fun. And the intro song is so cool and iconic, all the people who saw friends sing "I´ll be there for you" and applaud in one of the most remembered parts of the song.
