Motorcycle Diaries
Dude, just saw Motorcycle Diaries, and it was FANTASTIC. It made me even more of an avid Che fan than before. Cara, of course, had to point out that their Che was a much better looking Che than the one in real life. This made it a lot more fun to watch. What interested me most is that Che had a girl in the Patagonia region of Argentina that he really loved, and he asked her to wait for him. She agreed, but ended up not doing so, and wrote him a letter that he received in Chile telling him it was over. It makes me wonder if he had still gone on to do everything he did if she had not broken up with him. Would he have just gone back to Buenos Aires, finished med school, married her, had kids, and forgotten the entire life-altering trip if she was still waiting for him?
Can any of us really turn our backs on life-altering experiences, even if/when we have someone waiting for us?

Hindsight is 20-20 and since we all can't see into the future, we all can never really know what will become the consequence of our actions. So we go with our gut feelings - we react at the point of encounter - and we go from there. How do we know that we're turning our backs on a life-altering experience? How about this ... regardless of what choice we make, we are constantly altering our lives. The results just vary.
But one also has to think that we react in certain ways for a reason. The Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald theory would be that Che left and lost the girl because he was destined for greater things. That's a nice way of putting it, huh? That We are all destined for greater things. :-D
