'--- Blog to become a film'

The title comes from a little article from The Guardian (published yesterday).

The blog in reference is an acclaimed blog created by a man from Baghdad during the initial invasion in 2003. And, I didn't know, that it has been already turned into a book. Ok, that is cool, but how astonoshing? What can that mean? What can that represent?

First thing I think about is the publication of correspondence letters (from famous writters, philosophers, politicians, etcetera) and the films made about them. Those are things from the past. And part of that past was the relevance of the life of 'publicly-important' individuals.

Something of the present is the significant attention that 'publicly-non-important' individuals can get. Other thing of the present is the change into virtual communication, and its significance for the people (with access to it), and its different meanings and consequences. This other aspect also comes in many different shapes, and it is taken into the extreme that many many of the those unknown people become known by their displays of information in virtual spaces. Other extreme is the outstanding 'celebrity' culture in the UK, where persons who were unknown yesterday turn public with the blink of the eye if they just happen to shag, snog, date, or know something about some publicly-important-one. Yet, this last condition is not only a thing of the present, it is a thing of the past too, however it is aided by the increasing access to means of communication.

I am not sure of how I actually see all that, but so far I find it very interesting and as happening way too fast. The speed is one aspect that I actually cannot comprehend just yet. But I will leave it here, because I don't want to get too serious here.

Let's better do some mental wanking. Can you imagine the whole of incoherences from the imposibility of the next happening?
