pupul vu response there to.
hmm. the first blog of my creating. and it's subject- a reader response to the Mayan creation myth, the name of which i cannot remember how to spell without looking up, the Pupul Vu. in the spirit of the medium, i have very little intention of making this anything but my raw feelings. as such, i cannot promise that it will be too polished. also, i cant remember if there is a rubric to base this off of. well, onto the main course right? the Pupul Vu, i rather liked it. don't worry, i'm not done there. the number and ways of mistakes does seem slightly reminiscent of the Greek and roman pantheons but different at the same time. the Greek gods are, for the most part, tied up with themselves, one god creates man, and he doesn't really rule over anything, but he is tied to a rock to eternally have his liver eaten. the Mayan gods, they all doesn't seem to cast their lot into the pile when it comes to man. they still display some squabbles amongst themselves though, in the same vein as the Greeks. many times when the Greek gods fought it demonstrated the morals for the society that believed in them, the same goes for the Mayan deities .

Nice first blog. Very funky black and white thing going on here. Very Whitman stream of consciousness going on also. True, there is a rubric, but I'll apply it to the next one because, as you note, this is the very first blog, and if you are just getting used to this genre, then it is good enough that this posting just exists. You make a good point about the Greek parallels of how these gods act just like humans, only in a kind of god-like way.
