Generation Y is a Blog inspired by people like me, with names that start with or contain a "Y". Born in Cuba in the '70s and '80s, marked by schools in the countryside, Russian cartoons, illegal emigration and frustration. So I invite, especially, Yanisleidi, Yoandri, YusimÃ, Yuniesky and others who carry their "Y's" to read me and to write to me. Transgressing the limitsSeven months after they warned me, in a dark police station, that “you have transgressed all the limits,†I continue traveling to Pinar del RÃo to conduct the Blogger Journey. Instead of curing the virus of expressing ourselves online, that December 6th ban on our meeting has fueled, in many, the desire to become infected. Here are some photos taken Sunday in the west of the country, while I was teaching the guts of Wordpress and tricks for updating a blog.

From the U.S.A.–A smart Cuban government will see that the only way to “cure” this disease is to find room for her in their government. A job improving the use of the internet in Cuba, freeing expression in Cuba will shut this philologist down! A strong person doesn’t fear the opinions of others.

Great work Yoani!!! It is a human right to express oneself non-violently and to speak freely to others and show them to be informed and live in dignity.

Although Yoani prepared this post with very few words, I have to say that nothing gives me more hope than these photos of ordinary Cubans learning a new tool with which they may, if they choose, express themselves freely.

Que bueno baila usted
. This is a wonderful fictional biography, based in historical facts, of the greatest interpreter of the “afro-cuban son” in history, Bartolomé Maximiliano, “El Benny”, Moré. With a prose full of passion and poetry, the author describes the musical development of “El Benny”, from his impoverished childhood, to his years of fame and his death. This book can also be read as a history of the Cuban music and its most important instrument: the Clave. A must-have book to understand, and enjoy, the origins of the rhythm that inspired new music styles around the world.

If there’s one thing’s i’ve learned,it’s that no matter how powerful the government might seem or claim,if there’s someone willing to stand up & speak up against,then they will feel more threatened & scared then pigeon’s.
GO Yoani! :-)
