Hi :D
Hope you are well :)
I am just doing a friendly pop in shout that I do every now and then :)

Mass shout to all my friends, hopeing they stil love me even though I neglect them so often!

Thanks for the reply, I’m glad you feel that way.

But, I’m the “guru concerning universal matters”… but, I don’t have you in my rollodex. lol

Sleep well. :-)

Nope, there’s no *answer*, but there’s always a discussion, from which, we (the royal ‘we’) can take other peoples view and grow and learn.

Good topic :-)

Yeah… I’m just reading your post now, trying to think how to respond. :-)

Elly, what are you doin’ up? :-)

btw, congratulations on getting the interview.

I will, I hope the best for you.

sweet, i work at staples currently, and did both there..I and the copy and print manager, and have worked in OS

elly..where have you worked that you have office supplies and printing experience?

It is well deserved. You are awesome. I stayed up late to night so I could meet you.

Pretty good. Can’t sleep. :-) This site is freakin’ adictive. lol.

Hey, I noticed you put up a post “moving out of the city to…”. Coffee anyone? :-) hehehe. Actually, I can’t remember the last time I “went for coffee”. hehe.

And no, I see that post of yours - and then make my ONS post. lol. Bad timing. :-)

Ellyyyyyyyyyyyyy… What’s up? How are ya?

I think within my family, it is a way to generate more cohesion. It may also be a way to create place within a given space. Keep in mind that the Philippines was colonized a number of times, by a number of groups. I think that the collective memory of the larger group would influence the collective memory of a family group, which may come in the form of a diminished sense of worth. By creating the ‘hero’ the worth is re-established, a particular place in a given space is created.

Though,I do think that the hero myth can be used as a way to justify atrocities. Which is observable in many nation-states.

Okaaayyyy… Bring on the philosophical discussion. hehehe.

So then, what purpose does the “hero” serve? Is a “hero”, within the context of collective memory, used as justification for a gene pool? For example, we use our family “hero” as an unconcious source of pride which we use as our own justification for further distribution of our genetic material? Or, ???

Yes, it makes sense, especially when it relates to immigrant families. Perhaps, another way to maintain ties with the homeland. Yeah, I can’t think of very many families with generations of Canadianess, who have very many hero stories. There is a lot of heroes in military history, though.

After post-confederation, Canada seems to lack such historical stories. Although, when you look at Israel they have several hero stories, which ties into their national identity.

well then… you must speak very clearly. :-)

That’s an interesting observation. A further abstraction to that observation that I can see would be that the relavance (or significance) of the Hero figure is a much more prominent feature of a collective memory for families who’s recent ancestors were immersed in a rich culture. For example, a family who’s roots lie in the *new* western world would have a much less prominant “Hero”.

I dunno, does that even make sense. lol

So, you’re hooked, huh!?!?! :-)

So, why anthropology? Did you have to write a thesis, or a paper that focused on a really interesting theory?

Hi Elly… Did you paint that picture you’re using??? Very nice.

BTW, I might be just down the street from you. lol. I live in Burnaby.

Nice to meet you. :-)

That’s a really cool picture on your avatar. I love the colors.
