31 minutos: the puppet´s show

All began when I was eleven years old, my brother called me to go and watch TV, and then here was Tulio Triviño presenting his tv show "31 minutos", with all  his funny foolishness it caught me during 31 minutes, and I never stopped seeing  it.

but ...... what was 31 minutes? it was  a tv show about puppets, yeah  puppets, but not any puppets, ( like sesame street or the muppets) it´s a news show presented by Chilean puppets, with Chilean idioms and habits  that made it very familiar for me and for all my friends, and all the people that saw it.

Although it was a tv show aimed at children it also captivated adults with double meaning , for example, that the puppets are ironic imitations of Chilean television personalities, and remember events that characterized Chilean television in the 1980's.

Despite its success, 31 minutos ended in strange circumstances, I don´t know why, maybe because there were problems between the owners, I will never know it...., but clearly the last chapter affected my childhood, and perhaps to all children of my generation.

MORFO

Well, I'm going in  first year of dentistry and one of Subjects more complex  is anatomy. The university, in order to more didactic content of this subject for beginners of all careers related to health has created MORFO... but we can find in it? 
When  creating an account completely free (yeah you read right, free ¡¡¡¡, XD), you have access to a bank of images of different body parts, allowing you to better understand the texts and images, and also to prepare practical better.
There is also a forum where you can share content with different students of different careers and a section where you practice putting the names to the different body parts.
Whenever I have to prepare some test I use it because is really  much easier to prepare the practical tests to see real bodies instead of simple drawings.

MADE ME FEEL M U S I C¡¡¡¡¡¡

My first approach to music was three years old, when my sister taught me "army of me" by Bjork, I don´t remember very well this moment, but all my family always tell me when they hear it on the radio.

But my first "real" approach was when I  was eleven years old when I  knew Nirvana, Radiohead, Oasis, all in one, XD, my brother was the responsible, with his cassettes, and my curiosity.

Well, since this moment I began to hear different groups like : The Smiths, The Cure, The Cranberries,Suede, Blur,Pixies, yeah yeah yeahs, The Rolling Stones, etc, etc, etc. Principally rock and brit pop,(and alternative music like Sigur Ros, Portishead, Bjork, only when I need to relax my mind).

Music makes me feel happy, when I´m sad, relaxed when I´m tense, makes me feel my feelings, feel that I think ,feel that i´m alive.
And here goes a video from one of my favourite´s bands: The Cure with Friday I´m love. :)

my first post

My mother always says  that the things were created for something. Now I´m  trying to find an answer why I created a blog.... it´s complicated, perhaps simply I don´t have an explanation for this question....perhaps the words with the time will respond it, but  I don´t know now  ...

well  about me...My name is José Ignacio, and I will try to say who I am.... first, a person, like any other, that thinks, eats, sleeps,well and all those things that every person does, like hearing music, watching tv series (mad men and modern family specifically), etc, etc, etc....   but what makes me be special?... perhaps with time and if you read my blog you will know. :)
