4th assignment, weekend

Hi to everyone! I’ve got to say that my last weekend wasn’t too good, because I couldn’t move too much, so I didn’t go out like I usually do. But I wasn’t alone so I can’t say that it was boring, specially on Sunday, because my favorite football team (soccer in the United States), Colo Colo, beat Universidad Católica and I enjoyed it with my girlfriend. After that I called my best friend, that’s from Universidad Católica team, and I made fun of him, I mocked of him, he was very angry because his team was completely defeated. Colo Colo is very close to be Champion for the twenty six time in it’s history, and complete a three times in a row championship, hope that happens.

Here is the picture that I took to my Colo Colo’s T-shirt to put it in my fotolog. Take care!

3rd Assignment, Links...

Well, I put two links in my blog that I believe are very useful to all the people that are studying, teaching or just interested in psychology.
The first link is www.psychology.org, it contains a lot of definitions, papers and links that are related with psychology. It has many different papers of a lot of different subjects related to psychology.
The second link is http://www.psychology.heacademy.ac.uk, it is related mostly to psychology in the UK, all the research there and other topics, but contains a lot of papers that are very useful in psychology, it's a very interesting website.

Second assignment, Lyric of a song

This time I’ll put the lyrics of a song that I’ll like, the song is “Disposable Heroes” from Metallica. Metallica is a band formed in October of the 1981 by the guitarist and vocalist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich. The group searched a lot for a lead guitar, until they found Dave Mustaine. Then Cliff Burton joined the band. After some singles of them were put in some “metal compilations”, Mustaine left the band and created Megadeth, and Kirk Hammet took his placer as a lead guitar. With that formation, they recorded 3 discs, with a lot of success, then Cliff Burton (bass) died in an accident of Metallica’s bus. After that the formation changed two times, Jason Newsted covered the bass place, until some years ago, when Robert Trujillo took the place of bass, until now.

Disposable Heroes has a very “powerful” sound. I love the “speed” of the guitars in this song and I believe that this is one of the greatest Metallica songs. The song is a critic to “military politics”, to send and “kill” young men, doesn’t caring about it. And that they just follow orders like an “empty shell”, of course losing all his “capacity” to take decisions.

Here it is:

Metallica - Disposable Heroes Lyrics

Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end,
No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend,
Running blind through killing fields, Bred to kill them all,
Victim of what said should be,
A servant 'til I fall

Soldier boy, made of clay,
Now an empty shell,
Twenty one, only son,
But he served us well,
Bred to kill, not to care,
Do just as we say,
Finished here, greeting death,
He's yours to take away

Back to the front,
You willdo what I say, when I say,
Back to the front,
You will die when I say, you must die,
Back to the front,
You coward,
You servant,
You blindman

Barking of machinegun fire, does nothing to me now,
Sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow,
More a man, more stripes you bare, glory seeker trends,
Bodies fill the fields I see,
The slaughter never ends

Soldier boy, made of clay,
Now an empty shell,
Twenty one, only son,
But he served us well,
Bred to kill, not to care,
Do just as we say,
Finished here, greeting death,
He's yours to take away

Back to the front,
You willdo what I say, when I say,
Back to the front,
You will die when I say, you must die,
Back to the front,
You coward,
You servant,
You blindman

Why, am I dying?
Kill, have no fear,
Lie, live off lying,
Hell, hell is here

I was born for dying

Life planned out before my birth, nothing could I say,
Had no chance to see myself, moulded day by day,
Looking back I realize, nothing have I done,
Left to die with only friend,
Alone I clench my gun

Soldier boy, made of clay,
Now an empty shell,
Twenty one, only son,
But he served us well,
Bred to kill, not to care,
Do just as we say,
Finished here, greeting death,
He's yours to take away

Back to the front,
You willdo what I say, when I say,
Back to the front,
You will die when I say, you must die,
Back to the front,
You coward,
You servant,
You blindman

Back to the front
