We Shall Privail!

“Today, we celebrate the first glorious anniversary of the Information Purification Directives. We have created, for the first time in all history, a garden of pure ideology, where each worker may bloom, secure from the pests purveying contradictory thoughts. Our Unification of Thought is more powerful a weapon than any fleet or army on earth. We are one people, with one will, one resolve, one cause. Our enemies shall talk themselves to death and we will bury them with their own confusion. We shall prevail!”

Big Brother, Apple 1984 Macintosh commercial

Expectations

What and how much had I lost by trying to do only what was expected of me instead of what I myself had wished to do?

Oxford, United Kingdom, July 2007

IMG_4622

Oxford is a lovely city. Filled with Gothic towers and noble schools. I went to Oxford on a Sunday afternoon to take photos because I wanted to visit the colleges in the late sunlight, which in July means around 7 PM. I forgot that all the colleges close to visitors at 5 or 6. So I ended up with few photos or anything. C’est la vie. It was still fun to walk around the city. To Blackwell’s miles of books, traditional ales at The Turf Tavern and of course the great only-appearing-in-the-evening Donner Kebab Vans! They even serve Veggy burgers!
