The person that I think I am

I was born the 1th of february, on a sunny Tuesday in the neighborhood of Puente Alto, in the south of Santiago. I grow over there, but I moved to Ñuñoa years later, a few minutes away from my university: the Universidad de Chile.
I study journalism, but I was between Sociology or Literature, because I love to read. My favorite writer is Roberto Bolaño, from Chile, but I also like Albert Camus, from France. My favorite book is The outsider and 2666, one the best novels ever written by a South American. The best movie I’ve ever seen was Donnie Darko and Winter, but not because I enjoyed the movie, but because it is from one of my favorite Chilean writers: Alberto Fuguet.
I really like pizza, spaghetti or lasagna. Mostly, Mediterranean food. Always with the company of a good wine.

    Camus, really? you're a depressed boy, go and listen The Smiths! Did you had to read an analysis of Donnie Darko the first time you watched it?

The power of literature in one person

Image
Roberto Bolaño is a chilean writer that, in his time, told a billion of histories of the realities that he saw around Mexico, Spain and Chile, his homeland. He was born in Santiago de Chile, in 1953, and he died the 15 of July in 2003, in Blanes, Spain. He had two children: Lautaro and Alexandra. He wrote a lot of works, and a lot of them were published posthumously, like his biggest novel, 2666.  Most of his work was written in Spain, Blanes, a little city near Barcelona. Examples of that are The savage detectives, the Nazi Literature in the Americas or Distant Star. He won a lot of prizes for his work. I like him because he writes about the realities of the people he met, and the places where he lived. He was also some kind of journalist. He constantly wrote articles and about the news he saw. But he wasn't the current idea of what we have of journalist: he lived, he saw some things that he wanted to write about, to talk about realities that, in other times, has been unse

The pure instinct of a journalist

Image
There could be a lot of reasons of why I choose journalism as a career. But, a few years ago, I was sure I was going to study sociology. When I was young, a little child, or a person that had other conceptions of life, I thought I wanted to be a lawyer, but I couldn’t comprehend what that means. Therefore, I starPted to read a lot of non-fiction books, most of them, from sociologists like Weber or Marx. At the end, I decided journalism for pure instinct. I really like the University of Chile, the teachers and students. My dream is to write literature, or to work in La Tercera , in the section called Culto . I would like to study something about Hispanic Literature, or something linked to sociology, like writing a book, or something like that.

A picture from years ago

Image
This picture have a lot of background to understand it. First of all, it means more that just a middle finger random picture. It was taken when I thought that anarchism was the politican ideal that I would follow my entire life. That day, I had to dance tango for the school. In the picture, I wear a suit that doesn't fit me well, but I didn't care. And I was talking to my best friend of those days, that is my friend with a colombian costume. It was taken by the person that I liked for like three or more years, that, also, had to dance Tango. But not with me. She saw us arguing about something that I can't remember, but I know it has to deal with our discussions about anarchism or socialism, if my memory does not fail me. It was taken outside our classroom, when we were preparing to go down to the yard to dance.  It has a really deep meaning to me, because, on that time, I didn't realize how happy I was, how meaningful those persons would become on the next years, and r
