I recently watched my Fight Club DVD with the girl I am dating. She had never seen it before. So when I showed up at her apartment, I told her I had brought her a nice, romantic movie. I was joking, but there is some truth to it.

I actually did not even realize this fact either until I bought a copy of the Fight Club 2004 Literary Edition that has a new introduction by the author Chuck Palahniuk. Near the end of the introduction, Palahniuk mentions all the different genres that the critics assigned to his fist novel, and he ends the paragraph with his characteristically despondent sarcasm, "No one called it a romance." (p.xviii)

The Narrator hated his life. He hated his need for material possessions and all his "stuff" that he had acquired at the expense of his spirit. The Narrator thought that his life was meaningless and he did not want to go on.

"I am helpless. I am stupid, and all I do is want and need things."

-Fight Club (p.138)

Then he met this girl who was free from the "suffering" of materialism, in Buddhist philosophy sense. This led him to a confused state of both wanting her or loving her and wanting to be free from all desire for anything. So his mind created Tyler.

Tyler could do anything. He could have Marla and still be emotionally free from her and everything else. This caused Marla to fall in love with the Narrator while Tyler ran off to help the whole world "hit bottom" so he could rebuild the world free from materialism. It is a butterfly effect-type of situation, everything in the book happens because of the Narrator meeting Marla, but it is easy to forget that once you get wrapped up in the story.

"I know all of this: the gun, the anarchy, the explosion is really about Marla Singer."

-Fight Club (p.4)

So Fight Club is a love story because nothing would have happened if the Narrator had not met Marla.

Miami is so many things to so many people: A cultural center, a nightlife Mecca, a vacation hotspot, and home of The Golden Girls. In a city as large, famous, and exciting as Miami is, how does one pick one thing to do or see above all others? Naturally, you can go to any number of amazing nightclubs. There are any number of fantastic cultural attractions, such as art galleries, museums, and concerts that you can attend. You will find some of the most beautiful beaches in the world within walking distance. In spite of (or perhaps because of) all of these attractions, I will recommend you try something completely different something that is wholly unique to Miami: Little Havana.

Walking into Little Havana is a little bit like stepping back in time to pre-Castro Cuba. You can find hand-rolled cigars, fruiterias, and meat markets, all within walking distance of downtown Miami. Without a doubt, the best place to start experiencing Little Havana is with food El Pub is my favorite place. The last Friday of every month is known as Viernes Culturales (Cultural Friday) and is a celebration of Latin culture in general, and Cuban culture specifically. Youll find plenty of street performers, food, and art exhibits, and is really a great time. Even these festivals, however, pale in comparison to Little Havanas Calle Ocho.

Calle Ocho is Miamis largest street party, and it happens every March in Little Havana, on 8th Street (Calle Ocho). There are many facets to this exciting festival, including a domino competition and golf tournament. However, the best part is El Festival de la Ocho when the festival closes off over 20 blocks to host dancing, food, drink, and tons of live entertainment. It was at this event that 119,986 people set the world record for longest conga line its really a party not to be missed.

Remember when you head to Miamis Little Havana, do it in a limousine from Mirage Limo. Theres nothing better than attending a street festival in a ridiculously large luxury automobile. Little Havana is quite a place have a good time.
