Bye Bye Porn!

After experiencing a world crisis in economical matters, many industries and companies have gone broken. That is the danger connected with businesses. However, there are other companies that have lost millions but that problem has nothing to do with the crisis but with modernity. Porn industry is one of those victims.

Playboy, for example, has estimated that their income is decreasing 10 million dollars a year and, why is that? The real problem is that people who used to “read” Playboy have changed their priorities, for example, they are already married. Years have gone by and the well known magazine is still the same as it used to be in the 80’s. It has not changed anything in its pages (that is what I was told, hahaha). It seems they have forgotten that the world changes every single day.

Another thing is that the new generations are more into technology. Everything they do, they do it virtually. If they want porn, they have computers with a broadband connection, they have instant messaging services, they have websites (most of them with a common last name: tube) to watch any kind of videos, they have webcams, blogs and many other things to watch what they want: Porn.

In fact, and considering this as my very personal opinion, I hope new generations are not too into porn as what we tend to think. There are many things to do in life. Many things better than watching porn. When I was young, the only thing I was able (but not allowed) to see were a pair of boobs in the adults section of the magazine store and I’m sure it didn’t have any influence in my likes but something I’m sure is that nowadays porn is a lot more rough and offensive and more accessible than ever.

To conclude, I really hope that younger generations may find another hobby instead of watching porn as older generations used to do. I’m sure it is not a good thing to do. Provided what Playboy said about their income, I really hope to see one day the death of porn as one of the things that should have died long time ago.

I'm sick of it

First of all, I’d like to start by saying that not everything pisses me off but there are quite few things that kill me every time I face them. People everywhere would call this a “mania” which is a state of abnormally elevated of irritable mood, according to Wikipedia.

For example, one of the things I hate the most is when people don’t know how to use elevators. They’re in the third floor and go up till the sixth floor but wanting to go to the first floor only because they made a mistake pushing the wrong button. Mistake? Come on, there are only two buttons! If you go down, you press down and wait till the button’s light goes off.

I bet you’ve heard about the next one: the toothpaste. I hate having my toothpaste pressed in the middle instead of the bottom. I have to confess that since I’m married I had to shut my mouth in order to preserve a peaceful “environment” but, even though I use it quietly, something inside of me says “don’t take this any longer”.

The next thing is waiting in line or receiving occupied signal tone when phoning to your telephone company. Instead of solving you problem quickly, you have to wait long time to be heard. The worst thing of it is that you’re being charged for using you phone while calling over and over again looking for your problem to be solved! What a crap!

Another thing is, when walking on the streets, I hate having people walking slower than me right in the middle of the sidewalk. I thing that in this case, the same rule used in motorways and roads should be applied: if you move slowly, use the right side (that’s how we do it in South America). Sometimes I have told off people and complained because of their slowness.

There are many manias I don’t really know why or where I have got them from. The only thing I know is I cannot stand myself anymore. I’m getting sick of it. To finish, Wikipedia says that manias are related to bipolar disorders and, in the most severe cases, manic patients may need to be hospitalized to protect themselves and others. I hope that’s not my case because I hate hospitals as much as I hate doctors. They make me sick!

Let's chillout!

Since being an educator doesn’t mean making lots of money, many things are, in consequence, postponed or completely banned for us. When it comes to talk about music, it may be a luxury when there are other needs that need to be covered first. But, what if you download that music instead of buying it at Musimundo? Downloading it not from Amazon.com but from internet user’s websites?

As far as I know, Chile doesn’t have a restrictive law related to this yet and, independently from what an educator’s reality is, we still have the right to nourish our ears with good music. Therefore here I am once again sharing what a cool website has to offer: chillout music with all its variants.

This music style was developed in the earlier 1990 and it involves genres such as Ambient, Trip-hop, Nu jazz, house, New Age and other sub-genres of Downtempo—a major branch of electronic music. Chillout has been also used in many restaurants and pubs which have included “chill rooms” where people can take a break from dancing or just to relax having a talk with their friends.

What is more, some restaurants have also produced this kind of music such as the Buddha bar in Paris which now has a vast collection of CDs that made this place known worldwide. There are also some companies and groups that devoted all kind of resources in order to promote music like this (not all of them making chillout music) and create their own collection. Some of the most famous are Putumayo Worldmusic and Café Ibiza to name but a few.

Well, after all that has being said, here you have the link for you to seek out for good music and also a track sample to see what I am talking about. Enjoy it and don’t feel guilty for downloading music from internet without paying it. I went to Musimundo and they didn’t even have the CDs you will find in this website so, if someone tells you off for downloading music illegally tell them you would buy it if they had it!.
