Teillier, Hemingway, Camus, Heidegger, Vallejo

Hi! Today I'll write to about somethings I'm reading. This last months I have a lot of things: studies, work, etc. so, as I like to read a lot, I did need to divide my time for to can enjoy my likes and to do my responsabilities.

This semester I have many differentes matters, one of this talk about the existencialism. In this matter I need to read and to understand the thoughts of Jaspers, Heidegger, Sartre and Camus. I need to do a paper and presentation about a subject that I think is important and to develop it with any perspective focus on some of them. So, I read "Ser y Tiempo" of Heidegger and "El mito de Sísifo" de Camus. Really, are very complicate books.

In my free time, I read a lot of poetry, national or not. I have a lot of prefers authors, but now I read "Muertes y Maravillas" of Teillier and "España aparta de mí este cáliz" of César Vallejo in the nights. In the buses and subway, I read a recopilation of story of Hemingway. I think that is very interesant like this author see the things, with expect of write about incredibles, daily and a constant search of manhood actions in whatever, I think that many times, really, finish being more nostalgia than virility.

I know that is better to read the author's work in the original language, but was a present, and it come with a evocation of Gabriel García Márquez, so, don't look a gift horse in the mouth!

As I need to write more about an specific work, I recommend to read César Vallejo, he haves a lot of good books: "Los heraldos negros", "Trilce", "Poemas Humanos". In this times I'm reading "España aparta de mí este cáliz" when he refers his works on the civil war in Spain. He writes about any posible down of Spain, and the posible impact on all iberoamerican world, no for any feels of subjugation, if not the representation of the establish culture in America.

Talent

My special talent is calm the complicated context. Really I have many strange situations and with a lot of stress, but when are other’s situations, I can calm down the accelerate reactions. Is really useful, because naturally I can to find the logical responds in alterates peoples, but I need to be honest, sometimes I don’t like do this, because I end very exhausting.

The others people think that this is a special talent, I don’t know, really, if is a real talent, but well, if they say it… I think that a talent is a feature that the society approve o is necesary for the society, in other way this feature is a tool, good or bad, tool finally.

I acquired this feature with the experience, I don’t like the stupid acts or irracional acts and with the years I understand how say to the peoples logical arguments. Sometimes, I confess, some peoples have a lot of stranges reasons in his acts, and they to do that I understand his arguments and I left to them. I don’t know how I can do this, but is very convenience for me, because when I need explain my point of view in whatever or I discuss with other peoples about whatever, I can relax the situations in differents moments.

Athletics

When I had 13 years, eleven years ago, I enjoyed run, so I entered to school’s athletics group for to share this hobbie. Well, in this place I met  a lot of people, somebodies are my friends today, too. We participated in national scholar competitions and shared with more children of Santiago, too. Was very funny, because although is a very disciplinary sport, you can to distract and run, maybe, we can say, to know your friends, when somebody can’t to go more, how respect the differents capacity and hability of peoples, etc.

We went to training all Sundays in the morning on the communal  stadium, that, for my fortune, was very near to my parent’s house. Sometimes, after, I went to house of my grandfathers where I and my family shared meal roast and talked about whatever.

I left to do this sport when i left the primary school, after I entered to secundary and the times were very narrow, so, the athletic world only can existed one year, but was very important for the develop of my character and have personality, before I was shy with anybody. I thank to this times and I think that was a good decision in to this.
