A free Topic: Myths
The subject that I will be talking is about mythological believes.
There are different kinds of believes from Christianity to Buddism, and from originary cultures (latinamerican mythology), hindu myths, going through Celtics, Nordics, Romans, Greeks, Persians, Arabians, etc.
However the believes that have caught my attention has been the mythology about lost cities and the origins of the biggest civilizations, these are Atlantis, the fall of Trojan, the First Kingdoms in India, among others.
The Atlants according to the mythology they are a civilization that was located in the ocean, beyond the Iberic west sea, the people was very advanced in technology and civility, but because their stubborn they were destroyed, because the Gods sent a big cataclysm and no one ever found any trace of them.
The Iliad tells the story of Trojan ruins, after a war between the Achaeans and Trojans, the survives spread in many directions buildings new kingdoms in the mediterranean shores.
The Mahábharata or the Sacred Scripture of India tells about the struggle for the throne of the capitol Hastinapura between the Kauravas and Pandaras.

After Pandarass won the war, it was
started the Kaly Era (Kaly - Yuga) where humanity is inmoral and values decadence.
These are just a few examples of how humanity tries to explain the origins of civilizations.

My favourite picture?
This is not my own or about me, because I don't have any uploaded picture of myself in the internet, however I found the next picture:
This landscape, wich I don't know and I don't know where it is, somehow reflects what I think about the power of Nature and its elements in its biggest expression.
I have a big admiration to every different expression of earth. They are no more that a simple form of respect and perhaps fear that earth evokes me, wich makes me think about the small and insignificant that we are as human beings in relation to earth's power. Althought everything I have said about how I feel about the earth there is no much concience in humanity, thus men's stubborn nature thinks its capable of controlling the differents expressions of the planet and every live creature, it is no more than a false idea or better said an ilusion that any time it might collapse.
To finish this I would like to say: let to reflect in harmony with Nature.

The Pets
I like the pets because they are very friendly, generally these are faithful and loving.
I had three Choroy parrots, two St. Bernard dogs and many hamsters when I was a child. The dogs and parrots were one more member of my family because they were very loved and we took care them.


The dog's names are Arnold and Silver, the first was the father and the other was the son, Arnold lived elevens years and was very brave but also he was very affectionate and I believe he was the most beautiful St. Bernard dog I have ever seen, he died five years ago. The son, Silver, was very fast and athletic, he was a very nice pet because he liked run and play with us (my family), he died four years ago.
When I was a kid (around 10 years old) I had three parrots, named Pipo, Pepa and Piñon. I really enjoied playing with them, and we used to released them on our backyard for them to fly freely for the neighborhood, we called them with whistle and they used to comeback to their cages. Suddenly one day we called them but they never cameback, because I was little couldn`t understand why they ran away, after seven years living with my family.
After the loss of the parrots my father bought hamters and one of them was pregnant eventualy I had many hamsters in arow it was a bit difficult and challenging but I give four to my friends an I ended up with six I raised and trained them to do some tricks. When years passed, they got very old and eventualy died after four years they were all gone by its natural cycle.
Since then I don't own any pet, because takes too much time and dedication.

The Technological Device
The PC is my best tool.
My favourite piece of technology is the computer because it is very useful. I use the computer since I was 8 years old, and the first use I gave it was to play the games on it. Then I used this one to study and learn and read information and topics of my interest.
During my life the computer has had differents purposes, when I was a kid the main goal it was for enterteining because I used to play many videogames, when I was a teenager the purpose changed, It was for enterteining and educational, I was able to do my homework throw the internet, download movies before they were released in Chile, and I was able to download music in MP3 format and transfer information to my friends and other people.
Nowdays
I like to read the news such radio cooperativa website, and I like download music from differents freesites, also I like to listen to music on the online radio. And I download books from literature to comics books and interesting information, also I used for my studies mainly Microsoft Office to Power Point presentation, and write homework essays and projects the teacher gives me and recently I’ve been discovering the blogger world for the English class.

The Band
My favourite band is Faith No More
It is a hard rock, alternative metal, experimental rock and funk metal band. It is from San Francisco, California
This is my favourite band because it is severe noise music.
I enjoy many styles of music, but my favourite genre is rock specially hard rock-metal.
My ultimate favourite band is Faith No More. I've seen them live 3 times here in Chile, the first time was in Caupolican's Theatre four years ago, the second time was in La Florida's Stadium on December 5, 2010 and the third time was last year at Maquinaria Festival were many bands gathered to play rock music.
When I've seen them live I felt lot of adrenaline because the singer is very powerfull when it comes to express ideas and ideology while singing. He plays with the audience and makes us very exited. He's one of my favourites artists and performers.
