The unwilling icon of capitalism


T-shirts, bandanas, posters, undies, and just about anywhere else you can do injustice. Mr. Guevarra is there, staring away like he'd rather not accept his condition. Poor guy, a hero to the poor, a villain to the capitalists up north. He fought in every major revolution. Though from Argentina, that lent him the "Che", he fought for Latino America and willed the lower populace into dreaming of uniting all the Mestizo countries. Guatemala, Cuba, Congo and finally Bolivia were places he kindled and fought his revolution.

Ernesto "Che" Guevarra de la Serna was eventually captured and murdered by the Bolivian military.

A person with soul, who couldn't stand poverty is today on the front of a svelte chick's T. Nothing else.

Sketchup to the Rescue!

Google Sketchup comes to the rescue. I can now create 3D sketches in no time.
Totally rocks!



Thanks for the update Georgie

Trepidation is all barf

Figured that in the end, invariably, having spent hours on the Internet, I just have to get myself a b..., eh, , a.., bl.., blaa.. blog. That was quite an effort! Hope no one noticed.
But still, here I step into this reluctantly. Even though I had sworn by this blog's title. The gun finally looked menacing enough.
Chalo, then, vamos con todo, but a little care, here and there.

To this, I shall never again sucumb to anything similar, even, with a gun to my head!
