My favorite superhero (since i was a little girl) is Flash, nicknamed sometimes the Scarlet Speedster. He is a superhero from the DC Comics universe. Flash possess "super-speed", which includes the ability to run and move extremely fast, use superhuman reflexes and seemingly violate certain laws of physics. This character gets his powers after an accident, Flash is bathed in a "electrically charged chemicals" (same way that his uncle, first Flash).

In this “world” there have been many “flash” (i remember 5....), but my favorite is Wallace Rudolph "Wally" West (Flah of The Modern Age), he is member of many squads. The most famous is the Justice League.

Flash is my favorite superhero, because when i was a child, I loved it, i don’t know why... well, Flash is very cheerful, charismatic and fun, he is so cute, he is like a child, he is a wonderful person.

He represents the dream of all children, we all want to be superheroes, but with the innocence of childhood. His value is the joy and unconditional support.

(I want to be a SuperHero too!)

In this post, I’m going to talk about a man who was like a “rock star” in psychology, a guy that some people hated and others loved.

Burrhus Frederic Skinner was born in 1904 in Pennsylvania, United States, and he died when he was 86 years old. Skinner studied to be a writer, but he didn’t have talent to write, he tried it for a while and then he decided to leave this dream. Then, he went to Harvard, he studied Psychology. He did a very good job.

Skinner invented the “operant conditioning”, innovated his own idea of science, called radical behaviorism. He believed that psychology was (is) a science, for this reason; he founded an experimental psychology school.

I think that many people don’t understand the Old Skinner, and is not fair! He tried to help people, he started a revolution in education (no more punish!), and he wanted a happier society.

He is a source of inspiration for me. Last year, I read one of his books (Walden 2), and I loved it... it’s about an utopian society, where everybody is happy! And it’s due to operant conditioning. I wish I could create the dreamed Skinner....

I love so many films… especially the horror movies; people look at me and say: you? You are a girl! …. Yeah I’m a little girl… of course, I love other kinds of movies too.

Ok, I must choose just one movie.

One of my favorite movies is “1408” (2007), because this movie is about a book, no, actually a short story by THE master Stephen King (clap clap!! Ohh! You are the best!). This movie was directed by Mikael Hafström who did an awesome work, basing the film in one of King´s books and "maintaining the idea"… and, of course, it’s a psychological horror film!

The story: Mike Enslin (Cusack was cast to star in the film, being the only important character) is our guy, he is a skeptical man who, after the death of Katie (his little daughter), writes books about paranormal situations that happen in many places…

He receives an anonymous postcard from “The Dolphin”, an old and posh hotel in New York city, the message says: “Don’t enter 1408”. Of course, Mike decides to go to the Te Dolphin hotel and checks into the fabled room 1408… but the hotel will not rent him (or anybody!!) the room. Arriving at the Dolphin Hotel, Mike talks with Gerald Olin (the hotel manager), who warns him about the fact that no one has ever lasted than an hour in 1408. Gerald says that many people have died there. Enslin doesn't listen to him and enters the room anyway.

In the creepy room, Mike sees strange things, supernatural things... (for example: the digital clock resets itself to a 60-minute countdown of his life!!! ) He's either going to have to confront his past or succumb to madness.

Ok, it's not the best horror movie that's been made, but is different enough. The main subject is about Enslin's battle with mind over matter and reality over fantasy. I think it’s a psychologically thrilling movie that leaves you gasping in the end.

Come on! Give me a chance, see the movie and tell me your opinion
