America, Land of the Obese!

America the fat... I mean beautiful.

JUSTICE!!!!

I believe that justice is a great value. Justice is the thing that keeps people in place and allows individuals to excel without worrying abut others. Fairness is an essential part of life. Without it people would be taken advantage of by the powerful in every sense of life. With the ability to achieve people and society will prosper. If todays world was striped of justice complete caos would ensue.

Pakistan Vs. Bolivia

The situation that the U.S is involved in with Pakistan has some remote similarities to the situation Che as in with Bolivia. the biggest difference I see is that in both situations someone that the people did not want involved was involved. From Che point of view the people did not want a revolution and Che was force feeding it to them. they disagreed with he guerrilla attacks. In America's case they are in Pakistan when they are not necessarily wanted there.

Ernesto's Voice

As I was reading about Che's adventure in Argentina I heard him speak in a strong voice. He seemed to be in control of the situation no matter what was going on. Him and his partner seemed calm at all times and never worried about anything. this is calming yet I also find it quite powerful. This confidence is reassuring. One part that showed this is when Che becomes sick during the travels. He simply stays for a while longer until he is healthy and with no worries takes the day to recover. the other part I remember is when Che simply pitches a tent on the side of the road because they could not find a place to stay. None of these problems were a big issues to them. They're confidence is utterly strong and almost confusing to a point. Why are they so ok with everything?
An interesting think about my reading was the way I interpreted the voice of Che. When I read I almost picture what is happening in my head, like a film. In this film Che is a strong voiced and very confident Spanish man. I could think of no better better to play this role then Antonio Benderas. The video attachment shows a scene of Antonio Benderas and his presence on screen, he displays strong confidence and also has a strong Spanish voice. Hopefully this can help you picture the novel a little better during your own reading.

Real life CLUE.....

It is hard to determine who killed Che. It could have been the CIA, it could have been the Bolivian government, it could have even been his close "friend" Fidel Castro. I personally think that the Bolivian government. I think they were taking care of him to the point that no one would be able to sneak in and kill Che. I do not think Fidel had him assassinated because I believe he could have still been useful to Castro. I think people love to think that the death of Che is much more mysterious then it is. All obvious signs point to the Bolivian government. I believe it was the Bolivian government, with armed forces, in Bolivia...

Lonely Road

On the road, a long and lonely road
Searching for something of which I have no idea.
Alone I search, alone I wander,
I find much but discover very little.
With no companion and no end in sight I continue my empty search,
"There is nothing lonelier then adventure."

The Legacy of Shawn Bradley

Shawn Bradley was the 2nd overall pick in the 1993 NBA draft. During his NBA career he had a remarkable 92% foul shot percentage and he averaged an awesome 3.5 blocks per game. He ended his NBA career with over 2000 blocks!!! He however also averaged 4 fouls a game. He is an unbelievable 7 foot 6 inches tall. He had a fabulous college career at Bringham Young University and many thought he would dominate the NBA. Things did not work out that way. Bradley was a complete flop and is listed as one of the NBA biggest disappointments. He is notorious for being dunked on and has been embarrassed countless times by both superstars and scrubs of the NBA. He has been dunked on Shaq, Tracy McGrady, Kobe Bryant, Derek Fisher, and countless others. Though he did lead the league in block for 2 years during his career that is not what he is remembered for. The video below is Shawn Bradley's legacy.

Che Documentary

If I were to write a documentary on Che I would focus on the big events in his life. These events would include his birth, death, and travels he took. I am very interested in his journey so I would focus on his travels. I have learned that he was constantly traveling around the world. I would ask why he did this? Was he in search of something or was there another reason for his travels? I would also focus on his successes and why he left them behind to be a revolutionary.

My Utterly Confused Do Now!!!

When I judge a book by its cover I look a t two main characteristics. The first thing I look for is length. I find it hard to get into and stay interested in a book if it is to long. The other thing I look at is if the story is feminine or masculine. If the cover is pink and feminine then I am immediately less interested in it. So when I look for a book to read I look for a book that is not very long and is masculine. The only other thing I look at is the summary on the back cover. I read it and if I find it interested then I will most likely read the book.

The True Che

I loved listing to Mr.Beck. Recently I have noticed people wearing merchandise of Che's but I didn't know who he was. I do feel ignorant for not knowing of Che but in turn learned a lot from Beck. After learning about Che I would never wear anything with his face or name on it and I don't understand anyone that could. The only thing I could think of is that the people don't know who he is or what he did and wear things purely for looks and popularity. Beck spoke very true fully and from his heart during the broadcast. He stuttered a few time and mispronounced words. This shows me that he was speaking form his heart and not just reading off a teleprompter. He spoke strongly and he spoke very persuasively. Beck showed Che as he really was... a terrible and bloodthirsty man who killed many innocent people. People in Hollywood are claiming Che as some type of hero and the ignorant people in society are buying into it. In fact Che will be portrayed in a movie set to be released in 2009. I wonder how we will be portrayed, as a hero, or a villain (as he should be)?
