Modern Mythology.

How i understand this Archetypes or Mythological Symbols, on the first time i hear it, plus hearing its definition, Archetypes are somewhat like an ideal that is copied, common example is Light & Darkness = Human & Dead, or something like that. Based on my research, there are alot of Archetypes in modern mythology.

From the link, the first type of Archetype is Hacker/Slicer, reading it, i thought it was some kind of killer, but no. it says that Hacker/Slicer is something that a heroine of a movie or a play, but his doing are somewhat doings of a villain, a very common example is R2D2 of Star Wars, a hacker hero. and it also defined that it is Slicer because as Webster define that there are SciFi readers out there are self-proclaimed 'computer nerds,' there is a call for such super-knowledgeable slicers.



Another type of Archetype is Savior/Messiah Archetype. Yes, like you, first thing came to my mind is God. But no, and again, this are the hero of a play or movie who's destined to save the earth/universe. seriously, funny names with even funnier meaning. it's like the protagonist is presented with a big task that if he didn't do it, the whole world will perish. though, who would do that on a movie, let the protagonist lost? i didn't see any yet, so yeah.



More types of Archetype will be found on the link i gave presented.

Singin' Fever.

I wonder why are people, even Filipino's are addicted to this musical series, the "Glee." like, hello. we had those type of musical series before, and in fact it was originally Filipino made, example of this are iDOL(Sarah Geronimo, Sam Milby, Coco Martin), and Diva(Regine Velasquez), Philippine made musical series that aren't even supported by Filipinos(As how i see it, probably why it ended up so fast)



I'm not saying I'm a Glee Hater, no. what I'm trying to point out here is, yes it is a nice shows and music. But hey, what's with the characters and the plot, I don't even know what are the producers trying to show the audience here, giving example are. Gay couple (Kurt and Blaine), High school to-be-parents (Quinn being pregnant) pre-marital sex (Madonna Episode), and probably bring celebrity/musicians into a downgrade, one good example of it is, 1 song becoming popular because of the Glee version of it, instead of the real singer of the said song, that's why there are haters on the series, that won't let glee sing their songs, example musicians are Coldplay (Band), Bryan Adam, and Miley Cyrus. here's the link to Miley's hate-blog -->http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2010/06/miley-cyrus-hates-on-glee/

But then again, +1 point to the Glee for having no racism on their show, wherein most series do have, like Lost, Grey's Anatomy and such, an all black/white or asian show... they even let some asians and black and a Filipina welcome into the show, with a very funny role on the series. So, again, this is not a hate-entry, this is what only the author's feeling/mini-review towards the sensation TV series.

Opposites Attacts.

Being absent for 1 lecture was a big lose for me, I don't have any idea of what structuralism is all about, and how will i link it to my Blogs. But that won't stop me, so, here's a little something that i tried to make things up on how i understand the Structuralism that will link with my Blog.



As my topic header mentioned, my blog mainly focuses on what everyone is into, the modern era living, gadgets and such that keeps everyone un-idle. of course, with these inventions and likings do have some negative effects to mankind. one of the major negative with this is forgetting about your work/assignment because of being busy with it.



As i REaD the definition of Structuralism on Wiki (< http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structuralism >) and like the sample pictures above, i see it somehow like a face-off between good and evil, of course, my blog which mainly focuses of how are these kind of items are so into this day and its effect, shows morely of positive, wonder why? who would post such interesting topic that will only contaion more of negative ideas than more of the positive side. i doubt anyone would, unless you're a Brick Game holder, and nowadays there's this PSP. then i can understand that you'd still prefer old-school gaming than the more techno-wise.

Dead Man's Path

Reading the story "Dead man's Path."
I'm guessing there are a lot of culture influences to our country, since in the early era, there has been some trading from all over the country, specially the western country like the America.
maybe the major influence to our country is the government, because we've learned to stand on our own, having our independence day with the help of the western country. and probably the trading would influence us as well, since most of us are using imported products from shirts and jeans, to building materials and cars.
