Ok, new post after I don't know how many days... I haven't followed my objective for quite a while but it's time to post another entry being really time effective.

First, movies: I've watched a couple of really interesting movies lately. The first one I saw was V for Vendetta, an action flick that addresses the issue of dictatorship, utter government control and civil resistance. Second, Snatch, brilliant British movie directed by Guy Ritchie with amazing dialogues and dark humour. On the same line as Snatch (that was actually released before Snatch) it's Pulp Fiction from Quentin Tarantino. Fast and dynamic story with many enticing characters with diverting stories that come together some how.

Second, talk shows and documentaries. I'll try to take more advantage of Q&A from ABC... what an amazing show that comprises really thoughtful debates. I liked the one with John Howard (former prime minister of Australia) who is quite pragmatic but is a perfect example of capitalism. He gives his support to Tony Abbot who I don't regard as a savvy man and he's opinions lack humanity and environmental consciousness. Second, another Q&A show about spirituality that left me even more confused but at least with more concrete ideas and arguments to consider. Right now what I can't explain is the miracle of life and evolution. What is more important is the fact that there are so many belief systems that can support each other and that, even though, I have serious questions about religion there is something supernatural that I don't quite yet understand but might be out there... I just thought how small is a human compared to the vast infinity that surrounds us.

To be continued....
