So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Hopefully by the end of the day I will know Spanish. The other day I went to Caroline's house and on the way there I met this homeless guy on the side of the road. I was cruising along listening to 95.7 Latino and Proud really loud with the window rolled down and I had to stop at the light. It was ridiculous to pretend I didn't see him, so I rooted around in my car to see if I had anything I could give him. I didn't really, I only had big bills, so I told him I was sorry, I didn't have anything for him. He said that me smiling at him was worth a million dollars. We chatted for a little while. He was 67 years old. He turned out to be really nice. I wondered what he was doing here on the side of the road since he was obviously rather nice and intelligent. The light turned green and I never saw him again. I've been learning a lot about Che Guevara lately, I saw The Motorcycle Diaries and decided that I really didn't know a lot about this controversial figure and I ought to look into it deeper. Especially when some of the lines about how traveling changes you seemed to resonate so forcefully in light of my own recent travels. My mother brought home "El Che" which is an amazing documentary about Che's life told through video and pictures and the words of those who knew him. He is intriguing partly because he is so damn good looking and at the same time so amazingly committed to his ideals. Totalitarian, socialist, violent, brutal, I admire him because he held himself to all the same standards as he held others. There was no hypocrisy there. I don't agree with him, I would never join his rebellion, but I think if anyone could convince me to join it, it would be him. It's the indescribable allure of somebody who has principles and follows them no matter what, usually getting absolutely nothing done for their cause because they are so unwilling to compromise and eventually dying a "martyr's death". Then again there is somebody like Gandhi. Now there's a man whose principles were based on compromise. He was so unwilling to compromise on his wish to compromise that he ended up being killed for it, too. And he was able to accomplish a lot. Che was able to accomplish a lot, too... but he had to kill a hell of a lot more people and the result has since proved to be bittersweet if not completely sour Anyway, Latin America is really interesting. This entry isn't really well phrased, I realize, but that's because my mind is still processing and I haven't gone through the phrasing phase. Phrasing phase. Phrase phase heap ape pa a. I've become a lot more random lately. I attribute it to the fact that I can type faster. 0 Comments.
