OUR NATURAL ENVIRONMENT.

Well, today I'll talk about my relationship with the environment. 

When I was a child, I had a lot of animals and I always loved and respected them. That fact made me respect also the animal habitat, and later, all our environment. So, today I try to recycle everything I use.

I’d like to use a bike or to walk instead of using the public bus… but it is imposible for me, because my home is too far away from the University and from many other interesting places. But sometimes, when I have time, I walk to those places.

Other things that I do to help our planet, is to use the less possible of any resourse, for example: Water. When I wash my teeth, I almost don’t use tap water… maybe 200ml for all the process.

When people ask me about joining to an eco-organization such as Greenpeace, I always reply by saying that I don’t believe in those organizations because they ask you for money and support, but they never tell you what they do with your money (yeah, I’m a distrustful person).     
                                                                     
What I like to do, is to create conscience in the people about how important is our environment for mankind. People need to understand that we depend on our natural environment. If we destroy it, we destroy ourselves.

One way to stop the pollution, is the economic boicot against some evil enterprises that destroy the planet by making their products…

My opinion about politics and elections.

I am very interested about the decisions that politicians make, those decisions will have consequences on my country and me... but I don't like and I don't believe in politicians.

For that reason, I have never registered myself to vote... but I'm registered anyway, because now that process is automatic. The fact that now I'm registered to vote doesn't change my mind, and I will not give my vote to any politician.

Why don't I like politics/politicians?
Because I think that (almost) all the politicians are only looking for power/money and nothing else. Politicians don't care about people, they are selfish, arrogant and thieves. We can look back in History and we'll find a lot of suffering caused by politicians in a lot of countries and epochs. They only act like in a theater, they just make us to believe that they are good intentioned persons... but it's just a big lie.

A politician should be an intelligent, honest and a good person in general, but it is really difficult (or impossible) to find a politician with those attributes. Maybe, individuals are not prepared to have too much power, I think power corrupts individuals.

About the campaigns... those are horrible! You can see all the streets with many "palomas" (big pictures with the face of the candidate). Palomas make the city ugly, and after the elections nobody will take away those things and they will become into garbage.

Sometimes, I fantasize about becoming a politician, but I inmediatly abandon that thought.
To be a politician requires a lot of money, and you need to convince people that you are the right person to be chosen. You also need to know powerful and rich persons who will sponsor your campaign... if you later make laws or decisions that benefit them.

In other words, to be a politician: you need to be evil...

Vehicle sent to Mars discovers a rock similar to igneus rocks found on Earth.

Two years ago, a robot-vehicle called "Curiosity" was sent to Mars to investigate a lot of stuff, like the chemical composition of the atmosphere, etc.. One of the missions of this robot was to study the chemical composition of the rocks, and incredibly, it found a rock that was very similar to the igneus rocks ("magma rocks") you can find here on Earth!

Scientists expected to find rocks just like the other rocks studied in Mars before with the "Spirit" and the "Opportunity". But they got shocked when the Curiosity, using a very powerful laser ray and some scientific techniques to make chemical analisys, studied the rock and revealed a lot of similarities with the rocks we can find at the bottom of some seas and oceanic islands.

So... what does it have to do with Psychology?

Well, first of all, Psychology will be always present wherever there are human beings. And obviusly, scientific and astronomic research is an area where many humans work.

Second, it will be very interesting for psychologists to study the human behavior if we eventually find, for example, evidence of intelligent extraterrestrial life in Mars. That would be the most important discovery of the mankind History! ...and we'll need a lot of psychologists to manage the shock and the stress produced by such historical event.

Hello again!

Today, I'll talk about a very important issue for me... it is about friendship.

I think friendship is one of the most important things in life. I've never had too many friends... that is because I prefer to have good friends instead of a lot of friends. Usually, people think that it is good to have many friends, but I think you have to choose between good friends and a lot of friends... you can't have both choices in this life. It is impossible. And I chose the first.

Years ago, I had a very good friend. His name is Fernando and he was my partner when I studied computer engineering. We always talked about technology, calculus, logic, maths and all that stuff, and we always played a lot of computer games. Sometimes, he invited me to his house with the objetive of studying, but we always studied only one or two hours, the rest of the time we played many kinds of games. One time, we enjoyed so much playing videogames, that we didn't realize that we were playing all the night until the next day...

We also had a pact:
In class, and only in the class, we never talked to each other, so we could pay attention to the teachers.

Well, that happened a long time ago. Today, my friend has a job, is married and he has a little kid... so, he doesn't have much time like in the old times and we can't see each other frequently, but when we meet, we still talk about many issues and play videogames... xD
