There is one thing that makes me really
angry. I get up in arms when girls and women talk in a violent way to each
other’s, using sexist vocabulary. I find disgusting when a man use sexist
vocabulary with girls, and I refuse it, but I find unacceptable when a girls
does it. I mean, we live in a sexist world where our languages are built
through sexism and genre violence. It is also violent because there is a binary
conception in our social buildings that categorize male as good and
female as bad. I think that girls have to refuse the use of sexist language,
because is violent, and is charged with a lot of misconceptions that put us in an
oppressed site. But, also, I know that is hard to get out of our language, to
look deep inside, and see those types of things (the violent sense of using
some words like "maraca", for example). I think that, to see
the violence through language, we have to name, to talk and criticize those sexist
things, and become them unnatural. Maybe, if we talk about it (about violence
in language), girls would realize that they are reproducing violence when they
use some words charged with sexism.

On thursday we had to do an activity that was about searching places to visit in London, in a context of an imaginary study trip. We had to search places on internet, seek the prices, look for the nearest tube station to get there, and the zone in which the place is located.
It was really interesting, but like it would be with more time to do it, because under pressure it is hard to me to enjoy anything :(. Anyway, I learned a lot, because I've never done this excercise before. First, I realized that England is very expensive, and to become it real (the trip), I should have to save a lot of money. Then, it seems that if I want to travel there, besides money, I need a lot of time. I think I will have to keep this in mind, because I'd love to travel to England in a close future.
If one day I would go to London, I'd like to visit almost all the places that we've looked for, because there were relevant in England History. I would like to visit other places, too. I'd love to visit the Sherlock Holmes Museum, and go to (I hope) all the jazz clubes to listening some jazz jam sessions, like Ronnie Scott's or the Vortex bar club. I'd love to go to some punk concerts in London, and exhibitions and events of punk there. And, finally, I would like to visit the best libraries in london, and arts exhibitions.
Because of my interests I don't know if I would like to go with classmates, but I'd like to go with my friends and family.

Yesterday, by
midnight, I saw for fourth or fifth time “Django Unchained” in my house, with
some friends. This is a movie by Quentin
Tarantino in which appears almost the same actors that participate in his
movies and other great actors and actress: Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leo
DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson, Kerry Washington, and so on. This movie is an
adaptation or a tribute to the old movie named “Django”, a western movie, but
in the tipicall style of Tarantino.
It is about “Django”,
a black slave that gets liberated by “dr. Schultz” a man that is a bounty hounter. The condition
to Django to get liberated by the bounty hounter, is to help Schultz to find
some fugitive of the justice that only Django could identify, because he know
them. They start becoming partners, and then Django tells his story about him
and his wife, Broomhilda Von Schaft, and
how they wanted to scape together, and then got catched and separated, and then
Schultz offers to Django to help him to find his wife. They find Broomhilda’s
owner in Candyland, a place where white and rich people forced to the slaves to
fight till death, and some other horrible things… Both characters know that to
rescue Broomhilda won’t be easy, so they get a great plan… I don’t want to tell you the end, so you can
see the movie if you haven’t yet.
I really like this
movie, not only because it is entertaining, but because it tells a good story
in a not particular way. I dislike the scenes with a lot of blood, obviously,
but the rest of the movie is really good. Almost because it shows a reality
that we didn’t live now (not in that terms) but taht we shouldn’t forget. And
because I like the female character, Broomhilda.
Hi everyone, I want to tell you about one of my favourites
bands: The Doors.
That band is one of those music that you
never get tired of listening. I have many favourite bands, is true, but
listening to Doors have always make me happy.
They played psychedelic rock and blues rock. I think I love them
so much because I have listening this kind of music since when I was a child (my first favourite Singer
is Elvis Presley, since I listened to him
when I was five years old), but also because in their music they played
different genres that I love, like rock & roll, Jazz, Blues, acid rock, and
psychedelic. Also because I think that Ray Manzarek is one of the best keyboard
players in the world, and Jim Morrison will be the best frontman on the earth.
I will post for you two songs that you may like, I hope you’ll enjoy them:
Not To Touch The Earth
Queen of the Highway
