Now about Brokeback Mountain as I promised. Steven said "I want a good story, beautiful or creative cinematography, a touch of an emotion and good acting. Something to transport me away to another reality for a couple of hours for the enjoyment of it." This movie has all of this but you don't want to see it because it happens to be about two cowboys who figure out that they have feelings for eachother. it has alot more in the story, it shows how it effects others and how they tried to deal with it and try not to hurt those around them. I believe that when a director looks at a project such as this one I don't think that there is an agenda, most directors are looking for the art etc. and an actor, well I don't think that you take on this kind of role to try and boost your career. Now the promossion people which are usually the production company i do truely believe that they twist it all to appeal to some groups and then to make others currious about it and by promoting it as a gay cowboy movie you know that that is going to cause some controversy and in so doing gets it talked about in every circle in society. to them as long as you are talking about it, good or bad, at least you are talking about it. Now I think that everyone should open their mind a bit and give it a chance. Just because you watch this movie does not mean that you are gay. I have very close friends that are gay and this just gives you an insight on how they must feel in having to deal with people that are so closed minded.
Here is my question though......why is it that people can watch pornography, some with women with women or men with men and get their jollies off of that? but you even mention a movie that deals with the emotion of it all and the same people turn into blubbering idiots?
(now i am not saying that the people that have made comments before are idiots i am just asking a question. so please do NOT get offended.)
thanks for letting me stir the pot and please feel free to stir it with me or throw it in my face.
peace.
ps. i have to get 2 fillings tomorrow ;-(
Hello my friends..........I know it has been way to long but what can i say?!
Nothing much going on really. work work work.
I would like to say CONGRADULATIONS to Tim and Mary, oh and good luck!
Work: still at Wal-Mart
Weddings: four this year, first one in February (for a church member), second one this weekend actually, up in Telluride, third on in New York 4th of July weekend, and last but not least the fourth one in August in California.

Movies: Well alot really! to many to remember to type out to you! But some of my favorites so far FUN WITH DICK AND JANE (could not stop laughing), really liked PRIDE AND PREJUDICE.
Nothing really going on other then that. Sorry! Maybe that is why i have not posted in months. I am over at Scott and Staci's working on the much awaited (because i am a procrastinator) church directory. first on in like 10 years, so you can see why they are wanting it like last year! Anyway, since i was here i thought i better post to let you all know that i am alive. yes it is true i am still here! Hope all is well in blogland and with your families.
peace!
my next blog will be about why men are fearful to watch BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN. so boys try and come up with some good answers.
