Maya's predictions

The last week my friend and I spoken about this topic because Paula saw a program in Mega where talked about the end of the world. She told we that In this program the people explained their end of world believes and what their do to avoid their death. Obviously we laugh of this people because we don’t believe of the ends of the world.

In presentations of prehistory (a subject we do this semester),   A group exposed about the maya’s calendar. This calendar have a relation with the end of the world believes, because a Mayan created a “cuenta larga” calendar and in the December 21 this calendar ends, haven’t anything after this date. For that many people interpreted this (end of the calendar) with the end of the world. And this is a rational answer to the “Maya’s predictions” and the end of the world. The people see what they want to see.

I don’t think the end of the world happens, less this way. Because if the world will end, will be for the human action and not of natural ways. In this program (on mega), a woman told about a huge wave to cover an extensive America territory. This, I think it’s a joke, very bad joke because many people think that it’s true and live with fear all the time. Remember the 2000, a large amount of mass suicides for the end of the world; Sad!

It’s clear, I don’t believe of the end of the world on December 21.  For that I will not do something eccentric or strange in this date or before.

Be green!!

How green are you? It’s a difficult question because i think the people is conscious about this topic but they don’t do anything for to care the environment. The true is I don’t do too, but it is not because I don`t want to be something about my environment, only is because I don’t know a lot of this topic. For that, obviously I don’t know where the people learn to be friendly with their environment; if you know, please tell me.

I don´t be incorporated in a program of recycling, Maybe, I do something of  “recycling” when I drink beer in the university, because I pick up the canning of beer and bounce to the recycling’s  trash and when I go to my uncle plot, the trash is separated in organic and not organic, because my uncle use the organic trash like a manure.

I think I help to the environment, because sometimes I use the bike or my legs for walking and go to close place, if I can’t do that I use the publish transport because I don’t know to drive a car.

If I could be part of a eco-organization, I don't know if I would do it; because I think I should have a change of my mind for be part of this organization. I must be a change of lifestyle, and this is a very long process. Maybe when I am prepared, I will be part of this type of organization. But in this moment I m going to do all to stay reach of my hand

What is the sense of life?

Very hard questions, very philosophic. I think we always think about this, but its difficult writer in a paper this topic, because put my thinking in word is complex and its possible the people have a difference with my view points. But well.

The sense of life for me it’s tray to be happy with all things that I do, like in my family life, professional life and others area; because if you are happy, your environment will be happy.  it’s very sad to see a people doing thing that they don’t like because their life are very poor and sometimes they don’t want to live. Other important things is have a light life, I mean of don’t fight with other people, have an smile in your face all time, be kind with other, principally with the people who need it’s the most, and like Chileans said “no enrollarse”, it’s a good advice J  

But the most important thing you should have very clear your sense of life, because this give us the roads direction that we will have to follow and with this form you don’t go out of the way.

A phrase that I want to share:  “Be the change you want to see in the world.”

Mayan pottery

An investigation made by Dmitri Zagorevski, director of the Proteomics Core in the Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies at Rensselaer and Jennifer Loughmiller-Newman a doctoral candidate at university ay Albany. In this investigation, they found a physical evidence of Tabaco in a Mayan pottery.

The studied pottery was dated more than 1.300 years old and was decorated with a hieroglyphics about a god who was smoking a kind of tabaco. In this investigation, the technique were used to studied the pottery usually used in the studied of modern diseases and proteins. The technique included gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS) and high-performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LCMS). Both are chemistry technique and combine the physical separation of gas or liquid chromatography with the analysis capabilities of mass spectrometry.

The result of the investigation was: in the pottery was found rest of nicotine (an important elements in tabaco fabrication) and three components of the nicotine oxidation.  But they didn’t find an evidence of nicotine smoked, in fact, the byproducts of nicotine when smoking tabaco wasn’t here. In the other pottery samples, the investigator didn’t find any kind of nicotine.

The result was very confused because the specific hieroglyphics in pottery don`t have relation with its content, for that it’s very difficult understand the context, but the important was the technique used in the process, is a door for other investigations 

The bad men

I woke up that  morning feeling really strange. I didn´t know exactly what it was. Its very unusual because i wake up very happy and with great thinks. But in this cause was differents ,  i had an idea that round in my head with clarity. In the  last evening, i was study  and eaten some pice of bread in my kitchen and  stayed  a lot of time in here.  And obviously in a moment i was tired and went to sleep to my bedroom.  My bedroom’s windos is oposite the street, for that  i always heard the outside sound.

Suddenly, in the middle of the night i woke up very  worried and frigthened, but i didn’t know for what?. For that i went to my window for take some aire and calm. But in this moment i saw something  very terrible and frigthened me more. I saw to my neighbor  who lives in the  finish of the street, killed to Little dog, I didn’t know what to do, i cry a lot but i didn’t want shout because i thought  the bad men could be hurts me, I was in shock and afraid.

In a moment my dad entered to my bed (but i don’t know why, mybe the father ‘s instinct) and answered me: What do you happens?, because  He saw me cray and afried. For that i told him and my dad called the pólice. The bad gay was  to arrest, but the por dog death.       

My life proyect

It very difficult to speak about the future, even more of my proyects and dreams.  But can be funny.  In 15 years i was 35 years old and i will have finished the university (pregado) and will probably  have a work and family (at least have a child).

i think that it will probaly that i have the same fiend to now because i have a stong  bond with them;  especially with my school friends. And obviously its will probably to know other people.  I will have traveled to other countrys because its very important for me to know other places, but i ned money for that.

I will have had a good relation with my family because we are very close, it think that i might live with my brother because we have a good relation and get on very well. Obviously  i am going to have a family but i will not get married, i dont belived in the marriage.

Professionali, i think that i might do a post grade because i think that its very important to develop in the area, and  i will be working in a job  to like me, but in anything to involve to work in a office because  i like a free air.  

Good luky!

    

I can`t die if i don’t go to…!

This topic is very difficult, because I would to know a lot of places. All the people have the dreams: I want to know all the world, and I think that I have the same dream. But in this moment I write for a place that I know but I would like to go again, it’s Salvador de Bahia.

Salvador de Bahia is in Brazil, It’s a very important town and the population is majority black. In 2006 I went whit my school class to this town, but we stayed in here a little time (2 days), for that I would like to go again. In this place, we know the street market (was enormous) and a little of the center. And the beach too. (very beautiful)

The true is: if I didn’t go again, I would be regret, because this town is amazing. I would like to know very well and if I could, I would stay here for a long time. There people is very kind and happy, and its streets are very beautiful. If I went, I would walk on the paved streets and swim in the sea.

If I had the money, I would go with my family because I want that my family know this place. I think that they love it. If I didn’t go with my family, I would do with a friend or a boyfriend. And the last option is going alone, but I know that I would have a good time too.  

It’s very fanny to think about a travel that you wish did, because you dream with this place and imagine us in here. But the dreams can be possible
