Recommended Web Sites in my Area


Ok, here are the two websites I choose. Mainly, because I think they have a complete information about the psychology discipline. Besides, it seems to be that they have a large reputation; they aren't one of those web pages with informal knowledge, extrange publications which allow you to doubt about their credibility, etc.

The first one it's a a free encyclopedia of mental health information: http://www.mentalhealth.com/. The site includes illness descriptions, information about diagnosis, treatments, etc. Also, has lots of links to other cientific web pages, which make it more useful. The main idea it's to share all the posible information about mental health, and the best of all, free of charge, jaja.

The second page it's http://www.personalityresearch.org/ This page contains plenty of information about the psychology of personality, in a language very familiar to the ordinary knowledge. It's pretty useful to make you a general idea about the science of Psychology in the topic of personality, and also at the same time in diferents points of view (psychology schools). Besides, possess so much links to similar pages and complete texts that it's recommendable to save it in the "favorites" folder.

Well, there are the web sites. Take a look and leave your comments.

My last weekend


This was a crazy weekend. On friday, I spend most of the morning at the university listening the debate about the students mobilization. Then, around 4 o'clock me and two friends went to my house, had lunch and at 7 o'clock we met with another friend in "Cerveza" pub. There we drank heavily and had a great time. At quarter to 11, we left the place with the idea of arrive to a friends party on maipu. There we drank again, dance, laugh, knew some new people, etc.: all the requirements of a good party. That night we didn't sleep.


On saturday, I arrived my home around 11 am. There, my family and I celebrated father's day for advance because my dad had to work on sunday. Then, at 4pm I went to sleep. In the night, I went out to a party again. This time was the birthday party of a friend from Copiapo who I didn't see since the summer; it was a great pleasure share with him again some time.


On sunday, I tried to recover all the lost sleep. Finally, at 7 pm saw a football match between Chile and Bolivia. After that, I returned to sleep.


That's all

My favorite song


My favorite song takes the name of "I'm sorry", which appeared in Recreation Day album. This is the fourth released by the incredible and excellent swedish progressive/power metal band Evergrey. I guess you can say Evergrey it's not a popular band in the top music business, but that's not a reason to believe they are an awfull band. All you need to do is listen this song and you'll see what I mean. The intensity of Tom Englund in the vocal and the technique of the other members adds to this band a unique sensation when you listen to them.

About the song, it comes to be a part of the whole context of the disc, reffered to the idea of personal reformation. This song talks about the mourners after a funeral. Here are the lyrics:

I painted a picture of you,
your soul was red and your mind was blue.
Destiny laid a light on my creation.
This dream I had made a slave of my passion,
reality was always too far away.

And we were happy until it came too close one day.
Suddenly I faced the truth of my dream,
my love had only been a picture, a scene.
I suppose I needed to believe,
didn't want to see you had never been close to me.
But I'm sorry,
This illusion has caused you a lot of pain.
And I have no solution,
I'll try to never be back again.

I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

I painted a picture of you.
My dream was a lie and the lie became truth.
Reality held his breath too long.
It's disgusting what dreams can do.

But I'm sorry,
this illusion has caused you a lot of pain.
And I have no solution,
I'll try to never be back again.
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

This song has a personal meaning: it was dedicated to a girl who's dead to me, although she never knew, and probably never will.

Farewell
