Did I make a mistake?
That’s what I asked
You only said I was an ache
And your words left me aghast
You should have been sincere
My feelings are destroyed
Now I have to drink a beer
Because I’m totally void
I’m a walking dead
I cannot suffer anymore
My heart has bled
And right now it’s all torn
I was a mistake in your life
That’s a harrowing shame
I wanted you to be my wife
But for you it was just a fucking game
Since we are born, we always make our own way, and for doing so, we have to make decisions every day. Some of them are good and the others are bad, but we cannot avoid making decision in our lives. When we grow up, we have the necessity for sharing our life with another person, but before this we have to date a girl to know if she is the one that we need for the rest of our life. In the process of searching a mate, you find two different types of girls: girlfriends and friends with benefits.
The first difference between them is the obligations. When you have a girlfriend, you have the obligation to spend time with her some days of the week, maybe going to the movies, to a restaurant, to a park, for practicing a sport together or just spending some hours with her. On the contrary, when you are with a friend with benefits you do not have any obligation to spend time with her, and this is because you did not ask her to be your girlfriend, you just see each other when you have the necessity for talking to her or making out.
Another difference is the money you spend on these girls. When you go to a restaurant, to the movies or any other place you spend money, and you as a man are supposed to pay the bill or the total amount of money, but this does not always happen because your girlfriend can pay some day the bill. On the other hand, when you are hanging out with your friend with benefits, you do not have to pay the whole bill or the total amount of money, you can just pay what you eat or you consumed, you do not have any obligation to pay for the girl’s.
The last thing to differ is the feelings that you have. When you have a girlfriend you involve your feelings, you are giving love to that person every day, and she gives her love back to you. When you and your girlfriend have been together for one or more months your feelings tremendously increase. However, when you have a friend with benefits you do not involve your feelings as in a relationship with your girlfriend, you know that you are just hanging out for making out and for nothing else. If you involve your feelings with a friend with benefits you may get disappointed because she is just looking for passion and no more, and you are looking for something that you cannot get with her.
As you can read there some differences between a girlfriend and a friend with benefits. Each one has its own good aspects, if you want responsibilities get a girlfriend, but if you are a young guy who does not want a commitment you should get a friend with benefits. No matter whom you choose, just make sure not to hurt the feelings of that girl because sooner or later Karma will return it back to you ;)

Name of the film: 1973
Director: Antonio Isordia
Prominent stars: Alejandro Cota, Rodolfo Escogido and María Fernanda Ramos Macín
Basic setting: Mexico City
Type of film: Documentary
“1973” was a film made by Antonio Isordia, it was filmed in Mexico City. The prominent stars are: Alejandro, Rodolfo and María. They are young real people who tell the stories of their lives. Crude and real stories that contain power, love, corruption, murder, hatred, family and abuse.
It is a documentary that will shock you due to the situations that the stars go through in Mexico City. The documentary shows you a little bit of the Mexican society in that time. When the documentary finished I just said “OMG is that real?” I was totally disconcerted and dumbfounded by the raw stories. Do you need another reason to get and watch the film?
Have you ever imagined yourself in a terrible healthy state? If you have not thought about this yet why don’t you start? People who are in an elderly stage of life or those who are suffering from atrocious illnesses that cannot be cured want to make the decision of getting an assisted-suicide. However, a lot of people argue that this is not the right way to die, and they provide plenty of excuses without basis to not perform this action. Unfortunately for those who are against euthanasia I have strong arguments to defend the practice of euthanasia.
In some patients the pain gets to the point to be unbearable. If you are dealing with an illness which is too painful, and even with medication you feel that awful pain, you deserve not to perceive that. How would you feel with something that is killing you from inside of your body all the time? People with chronical illnesses feel this pain every day, the only moment when they are not suffering is when they are sleep, because even when they are sedated, they perceive pain.
People should not be forced to stay alive. At the moment of getting the age of majority, you take control over actions, and decisions. You are not a minor anymore, you are an adult. When you have decided to make the decision of being euthanized, your decision is what it worth, not others' opinions or decisions, you are the only one who is going through that situation. In other words, you are free to do with your body whatever you want, besides they cannot even imagine how you feel.
Opponents of this idea claim that euthanasia perverts the medical ethics since Hippocrates has focused on eliminating pain, not the patient. However, the era of Hippocrates was more than 2000 years ago; it was not even in our ages, but before Christ. Nowadays medicine is different from the one which was long time ago, changes of medicine have happened, the mentality of the human kind is different and what really matters if you are a physician is the wellness of your patient, but not yours.
As you can see there are plenty of irrefutable reasons to get euthanized, and the only decision what matters is yours. I would like to have the right to choose my fate If I were dying with a terminal illness. It would be wrong for some people due to the moral aspect, but at the end it would be my life. We deserve to die when we want and the most important aspect is to pass away with dignity.

Have you ever felt the sensation of writing a poem, a letter or anything else that describes a huge set of feelings for a person? I do not know if that has happened to you, but if you have ever loved or had an enormous affection for someone else, the most probable answer is yes. And that happened to me, my gorgeous girlfriend is my inspiration for stating these lines here. Her physical appearance, the way she is, and her likes are going to be shown, and at least you will know something about her.
The first aspect of all is her physical appearance. She is a medium-size girl, in fact she is a little bit shorter than me, but a few inches left do not make a tremendous difference, do they? Another aspect to talk about is her weight, she is incredibly thin, I can touch her figure and I can appreciate her hips, my hands get delighted for feeling that little, curvy, Mexican figure.
Another aspect to talk about is the way she is with me. At the beginning of our friendship she was very nice, easygoing, talkative and she still is, however; when she felt that she was going to be hurt she behaved in a different way, like in a defensive way. Some days ago when we started the relationship, she told that that behavior was for protecting herself herself because she did not want to be hurt anymore. Nowadays she uses that inexorable defense to avoid that, however, when she does not feel unprotected, alone or sad, she does not make use of this.
The last point which I think I know more is about her likes. Actually some of the reasons that led us to know more about each other were the similar likes. She loves to do Yoga, for her IS more than an amazing sport, it is a way of living, this is because it relaxes your body and mind, releases you from anxiety or stress and develops and works all your nerves, joints, tendons, and muscles. Not only Yoga makes her incredibly happy, also having pets. Nowadays she has a turtle and some fish, the turtle was a gift given in a party and the fish have been grown by her, she has like 18 fish in her medium-size fishtank. She loves them so much to the point of thinking that she loves the fish more than me hahahaha.
As you can see, the physical appearance, the way my girlfriend is with me, and her likes are some aspects that give you an idea of knowing her. This paper is not enough to describe all these aspects, you need an enormous period of time to describe or let the people know how a person is, but not only a huge period of time, you also need tons of paper to get this done. However you will never finish describing a person, why is this? Basically just for the fact that you get surprised sooner or later for the good or bad things that your soulmate does to you. Just for this little aspect you will never finish knowing your soulmate, no matter if you have spent 20 years with your mate, you will never finish.
It was like a century ago when all of this started, well I was exaggerating just a little bit. In fact, my evolution in electronic literacy started in 2004 when I finally got access in my house to a dial-up Internet connection. The connection was the slowest connection ever, but in that time having access to Internet was the greatest thing you could ever imagine. My beginning in electronic literacy, the influence of L2, and my expectations in the future will be developed.
My beginning in electronic literacy started at the end of 2004. In that year I signed up in some forums related to technology and communications. I was a regular user, in fact I published a lot of interesting things and also I tried to help every user solving their doubts or questions. Some of these forum had also chat rooms, but I was not as active as I was in the forums. It was like a waste of time dealing with people who only entered looking for sex.
Electronic literacy and basically Internet have promoted a lot the influence of L2. Due to the high spread of the English language, a lot of social networks, chat rooms, discussion boards and video games have helped me with my English skills. Surfing the Internet you discover a lot of amazing things, but sometimes you do not understand all that information, however you use all of your resources to figure out that information.
The last aspect to talk about is my expectations in electronic literacy. Nowadays with the spread of information through the Internet, it is easier to find important websites related to literacy, education, courses, research, etc. With this, students, teachers and essentially every Internet user can find or get important information or content, and that is what I want. I want that every human being get access to Internet and as a consequence to that huge web of information.
As you can see, my beginning in electronic literacy, the influence obtained of L2, and my expectations are important aspects to me. Someone else might disagree with me, or at least he/she can agree in some perspectives, this is because we have not passed through the same thing and we can differ in our thoughts. But what about you, what can you tell me about your electronic literacy?
Each human being is different from one to another, and that difference makes the humankind interesting. You can meet people with different likes, dislikes, interests, experiences and so on. As you can see every person is different, and so am I, there are some relevant facts about me that make me different. Aspects like videogames, sports, and music differs me from the rest of the people.
Videogames have been a huge influence for me since I was a child. Everything started with the Nintendo NES (Nintendo Entertainment System), with this and the subsequent videogames that I have owned, my interest for the English language has increased, in fact, it was a determining reason for entering to the major.
I have always loved some sports. There is not anything more fun than practicing a sport, in fact I have practiced a huge number of sports, such as: basketball, chess, dominoes, football, football tennis, footvolley, skating, soccer, swimming, and also I have done gymnastics and yoga. The majority of them make me feel happy, they release the stress and improve my health. For example I have been skating (inline skates) almost for a year, and I am entirely delighted.
Music makes the difference. I have not meet anyone who does not like to listen to music, music is something intangible but at the same time some kind of real thing that you can perceive not only with your ears, but with your body. I used to listen to just certain kind of music, actually I did not like to listen to Mexican music. Nowadays I have changed and I listen to almost every kind of music.
As you can see some important and particular situations, such as videogames, music, and sports have modified my character, interests and behavior. These things make me different. Now you know some lines of this book called Carlos, if you want to know more about me keep me on track with my further essays.
