Anthropology or money?

Today Judy has decided to ask us as really hard question Anthropology or money?

Hard to tell, I mean: morality, society and many other things and institutions like those says that you should act according to higher values and that kind of stuff.. But to be honest in this world values are kinda like fashion accessories: they change according to the current trend..
I mean, you just have to listen to the jerks at tv, for one or two weeks, and you will see -pretty soon and clearly- how they contradict their self, over and over again..
Also, you can't live of ideals: you can't eat them, you can't dress them... You get the picture..
I guess that this is not the most appropriate attitude, but well... That's how it goes pals.. Life is hard, no matter how much you want to deny it..
Anyway, I strongly believe that you can make money in anthropology -otherwise I think I wouldn't have chosen it as my career-... At least, I am pretty sure that you can make money as a physic anthropologist, that's for sure... Actually, you can get a pretty high profit from it.. After all, there a only a few physic anthropologist in the world, and they are surely needed, because physic anthropology is a really useful science.. So I kinda choose it thinking as much about money as science -and want to work in hard science field-... But I can't honestly say that I choose it in order to “change the world” or “help human kind”..
As a physic anthropology, you can do many things to get money :).. You can work in a lot of different research fields.. You can be a consulter... You can also work in the design field or anything related to ergonomics.. And -obviously- you can work with the police or PDI, in the forensic field -where I want to work in the future- to identify people who's bodies are way too damaged to be recognized in any other way... And many other things, like work with archaeologists, epidemiologists, or with ONG and human rights related fields.. You see? There are many ways to get money from this.. which -I think- is awesome..
Right now I'm not making any money, because university takes all may time, and I'm a pretty lazy person... So well, even though I might do something to make money -if I really, really wanted it or need it-, I guess that I'm way too lazy to try...

And well that's all.. Have a nice day.

I .... my faculty

Hello everyone.. Now I have to talk about my –supposedly- beloved faculty.. Which I actually hate, I mean, is not a bad place.. But I represent many things that I hate –just like my school did-.. So –by extension- I hate it.. Actually I just want to finish my career soon, in order to not come back never more.. I suck, I know.
Today, the building is operative; but there are not enough class rooms, the bathrooms are in a pretty lame condition, and the library just sucks –most of the books that we have to use aren’t there!!!-.. But lately there have been doing some improvements: now we have better and more modern computers; they fixed the roof of the girls bathroom of the third floor… And that kind of stuff… But the main problem: the lack of classrooms is still there.
I guess that the only way to fix the classrooms problem is to build more, but for that you need money… And there is money.. So they will.. Or that’s what they say.. So we are supposed to sit, wait and see.. Anyway, the current project is to build a new building, which may actually solve the problem, except for one little thing: the project is awful, is not well thought, or to be more precise, is not adjusted to reality.. The planned distribution is all wrong.. And even though the students, and the teachers, have pointed it, it seems that the authorities don’t want to listen.. Which really sucks..
And well –after have used the word suck, more than is proper- that’s all folks..
Have a nice day/night, whatever..

Music is all around me

Today I have to talk about, an awesome topic: music!
I love music.. I actually have over 45 GB of music in my computer –that’s more than 10 thousand songs, picture that folks-.. That’s a sign of the variety of music I have –I mean those songs are not of the same artist or genre-.. Which makes the task of choosing my favorite band/genre/song something pretty hard.. But, well since I have to, I will talk about the current ones.. I guess I like agro, rock, indie and electronic mmusic most of all.. But I also love industrial, classic, jazz, and so much more genres.. is hard to choose.
My favorite band is Garbage, I love the Shirley Manson’s voice… I love the lyrics, I love their guitars, I love the drums, I love the bass.. I mean I love their music... It think I love them even more, because, they’re really sarcastic in their lyrics... I think my favorite Garbage’s song, it’s “wicked ways” I love everything about that song –“I tried hard to mend my wicked ways/ Acted like a lunatic for years/Lord knows I try to be good/ I keep my promises if only I could/You count your blessings that I can’t rely on you”…- Wonderful.
I’d gone to many concerts.. of very different bands.. But I think that one most memorable was the one of the “Red Hot Chili peppers”, It was awesome to watch Anthony Kiedis –a man over 50 years old- jumping around like an acrobat and singing with a flawless harmony.. The rest of the band was awesome too, but I will always have the memory, of Anthony doing a perfect somersault and then keep singing without losing the tone, like it was the easiest thing in the world..
Well, I know how to play flout, and a little bit of piano.. But I rather sing.. I can’t say that I’m good at it.. But I’m definitely better at singing than playing other instruments..
And well that’s all.. I might have overdo it a little bit.. but, well whatever..
Have a nice day :)

Vitamins Junkies

Ok, today I have to review a news item, from the guardian –an online news paper of the UK- because.. Judy wants us to do it… I’m not really excited about it, and I’m actually late, but I have no choice here. . So, here I go, you better get ready!
I chose this one : http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/blog/2009/sep/10/optimum-vitamin-dose-supplements
It’s about vitamins supplements, and people who take them without needing them..
It happens that it’s not only unnecessary, but even harmful to your body… Beside of the lack of evidence that proves that taking vitamin supplements may be beneficial to health, there is evidence that proves that taking too many supplements will be bad to your system, because an excess of substance may be toxic... So you have to try to stay in the optimum level, but the optimum level of these substances is different for every person, and is influenced by very different factors, such as age, sex, weight, etc..
Of course that take supplements might be beneficial for your health, but only if you take them when you need them. That’s what many articles, papers, and investigations, done by various scientist, say. By example folic acid is recommended to womens that are under pregnancy, in order to avoid their child to get cleft lip or cleft palate.
Well that’s all… Have a nice day..

It's all about food

Well dears, today I’m going to talk to you about something that we all need -no matter what some pricks out there might say about that- and most of the people likes –sorry anorexic and bulimic girls/boys out there, you’re not fit to this post-.. I’m going to talk about food!
I love food, it’s something marvelous… Delicious and also necessary, what could possibly be better than that? I like to eat in clean places, shaded ones if it’s possible –I hate sunlight-; because y can’t stand eating in a place that’s dusty or dirty… It’s just way to unhealthy.
I like to cook my food, because that way is just how I want it… But I also like to eat in restaurants, because there I can eat thing that I can’t get at home –I don’t like the kind of restaurants that gives you “home style food”… way too boring - ..
It would be impossible to me to choose just one kind of food to be my favorite: I love Chinese food, Japanese food, Italian food, Thai food, Vietnamese food… And you get the picture... Right?
At cooking I’m fairly skilled... I mean, I’m not awesome... But I’m not bad… Except for the times that I don’t use enough salt… I like to cook pasta and “chineses-wanna-be” food… I also like to try out new recipes, and I love to bake sweet things such as cookies, cakes, and that kind of things…
Well eating is part of my family traditions, so almost any kind of food brings me memories about very different situations…
I think I can’t imagine a perfect tree course meal, ‘cause it depends of what kind of food I will be eating..
And well.. I think that’s all –because I don’t want to say anything more-…
Have a nice week, and take care!
