Be Married with a Theory or be a GEEK?

That's the sad reality.

I'm studing sociology since 2007 and no one can convince me. Who are Marx, Weber and Durkheim?, Who are Parsons, Luhmann, Giddens, Habermas and Bourdieu? Who are member of the Frankfurt School?...All of them have reason, and that's the big problem.

If u are learning about systems theory, Parsons, Luhmann, Arnold & Rodriguez will be correct in their analysis, but if you are studing about marxist theory, all the different authors of that theory, will be your favorite. Has been common for me, be in the science's kiosk with my friends talking about this. One day I'm the biggest fan of Althusser, but the next day, I will "give a child" to Bourdieu.

And I think that's normal, because we are learning about it...we are just students.The reason about that, I think, is that I'm idealist (only in sociology). I'm expecting about "THE THEORY", one specific and perfect viewpoint. Other reason could be, the clear political position that I have about the role of the discipline in the society. If the sociology don't theming the social inequialities...NEXT!

I'm expecting to find my favorite theory or author, but actually, I'm just a geek.

Things that I like to do

Although the people say that I'm a bitter person, I have a lot of hobbies and things that I like to do. In this post, a will talk about three of them.

The first one is the classic "men's hobby": Soccer. I started to play this fantastic sport since I have memory. I remember that on every christmas, my partens gift me a soccer ball, but I must to play in the garden, because I could broke anything in the living room. My favorite soccer team is Universidad Católica (yes, I know that it is a "high class team" and that we have the reputation of being second in all the tournaments, but I don't care, I'm "cruzado"). So big is my fanatism, that I'm thinking to make me a tatoo of "La Católica". I go to the stadium every weekend (although it is over the mountains), and I travel to different cities of Chile, Argentina and Colombia following it.

The second one is surf the net (internet). The last year I bought a notebook (I really don't know if it is a "netbook" of a "notebook", because is a 12,1 inches), and has been the best investment of my life! Is easy to move (fits perfectly in my bag), is lightweight and it will sounds corny...is cute! (OMG! if my friends read this, i will be bother every day). My favorites web pages are gmail, facebook and rojadirecta. In the first one, I recieve my e-mails and chat with my friends; In the second one, I keep up contact with my old friends; The third one, is for watch all sport's game free on internet.

My last hobby, is being lie with my girlfriend watching a movie or a idiot T.V program (Calle 7 rulz!!) I reccomend it for all the couples. A cup of tea, chips and garlic mayonnaise...nothing better for this fall/winter.

Do you really want to know me?

Really really? Are you sure?

Well, as first I can told you is my name and other things. I'm Diego Corvalán, but you can call me "Diegue" or "Pez". I expect to be a Sociologist the next year (and my parents wants the same) because I want to start working and do something. I know that the life is not for sleep and drunk beer, but I would like that kind of life.
