It’s 6.38 in the morning of the 8th.
This night, I couldn’t sleep, As I lay in my bed listening to music from an album in honour of my namesake and inspiration Ernesto Guevara, better known as Che Guevara. I can’t help but think over his actions and ideals, I even came up with a little poem of sorts(beware, it may suck)
te dicen, Ernesto, nombre de asesino.
yo digo, Ernesto, nombre de campesino.
te llaman terorista, te llamo revolucionario, sin comparison, sin conclucion.
con tu arma nos muestras el camino que tenemos que tomar.
No eras cubano, no eras argentino, no eras chileno, no eras boliviano y no fuiste peruano, fuiste latino.
Unidad es el camino que tenemos que tomar, Hasta la victoria, Siempre mi Commandante.
Translation:
They say, Ernesto, name of an assassin.
I say, Ernesto, name of a farmer.
they call you a terrorist, I call you a revolutionist, without comparison, without conclusion .
With your weapon you show us the path we must take.
You were not from Cuba, you were not from Argentina, You were not from Chile, you were not from Bolivia and you were not from Peru, you were from Latin America.
Unity is the path you showed us and the path we must take, To victory my commander, always.
Yeah, it sucked, but I stand by it.
For me, there has never been any question over what side I am politically, My ideals have been the same throughout most of my life, only minor changes to my ways of achieving these goals and ideals. From my naive plan to conquer the world and bring peace to it(somewhere deep inside, my inner child still wants that, watch out world!), to a revolution to influencing people, my first blogs name was Radio Rebelde, the pirated radio station Che and Fidel used in Sierra Maestra during the cuban revolution(sadly, some chump not even using the url stole it on WordPress).
Anyway, as I laid in my bed tonight I began to think hard about what I can do to really influence the world, to try to shape it my way. I have the medium, internet, a place that people of all races and cultures can share, the problem is getting the word out there, I dont have high hopes for this blog, but If I can influence one person I guess I can feel satisfied with my work.
“Baby steps Ernesto….baby steps.”
Sleepless nights and pillow fights. 
You are on the right path with the whole idea around choosing the “slow way” rather then the “fast way”.
Usually are the onse who choose the “fast way” the ones who fail, or eventually quit.
Obviously you want to effect people in someway with your writing, and beeing greedy and expect for 1k readers after only a day is just naive, wich is what you are doing right with your baby steps ;-). People who want people to read their blogs these days pick bullshit nonsense to write about, just check blondinbella, kissie or any of those fuckers
Thanks for the support, and yeah, blogs were first created as a media outlet for your personal opinions, online journal and such, of course it quickly became a hub for people writing about how “cool” they are, fashion and “daily outfits”.
BOMB THE BLOGOSPHERE.
I’m thinking of doing a piece on it in the near future.
Honestly I dont blame people for writing about daily outfits nor fashion – thats what blogs are for: to express your opinion. However, when they write about bullshit like, or really just read any of kissie/and/or blondaas blogg and you’ll get the picture. They are not writing for something that they are burning for, they are not writing their oppinion on things, they are just writing total nonsense (for instance blondaa is trying really hard to fool his readers that he is acctualy the first pregnant man on the earth (and btw a man has already been pregnant so, yea fail)..
Good point Jon.
i must say i really like your poem hermano, it gaved me goosebumps , un dia seremos una nacion ya veras, one day we will be a united continent
no dejes nuestro sueño..
