Odds and Ends

  • Social Networking as subject will show up eventually, but I want to do it right. So please, bear with me.
  • For more information on The Motorcycle Diaries real protagonists and events check out WikiPedia on this article Che Guevara.
  • I'm fairly new at this and I don't want to sound apologetic, but I hope to get the hang of this and find a definitive style, even if that style has no style at all!
  • I been reading on blog ethics, and I should definitely do an item on what I will and will not include in this blog.

The Motorcycle Diaries

I will get back to social networking, as promised.

But I want to comment on the movie. I am afraid that most English speaking Americans will only see some great cinematography behind a coming off-age story.

Please do try to look past, at the socio-political commentary and the points it tries to make. I would like you to judge for yourself, but I have to say that there are reasons why communism exists. Concepts like ownership, buying, selling, when they become all we know; end up controlling us.

I wonder if, increasingly people are judged by what they buy instead of for what they create. What we hoard, instead of what we teach, define us. I find myself no better.

But at least I wonder why...
