Brokeback Mountain

This weekend I saw Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain - or as Adam calls it - "Bareback Mountain". In all seriousness, I am very glad this movie was made. There has been quite a lot of buzz in regards to the film's homosexual storyline. This film goes so far beyond mere homosexuality, to get hung up on that issue is just plain ignorant. This movie truly transcends all stereotypes. The world simply isn't black and white. It's important not to try and put every little thing into its own box and label it. This truly is an amazing film and one of the most beautiful love stories.

The scenery is absolutely fucking breathtaking, and there are lessons to be learned. You cannot stop your heart. You cannot persuade it to feel something it won't. To do so is to sell yourself short and to deny yourself something that no god should: love. We should all be able to live the lives we want to live - the lives we need to live - without fear of judgment or persecution. Each of our lives are far too precious and much too short. It tears me up to think that there are so many people who do not - who cannot - be true to themselves. I can think of no greater injustice!

Please go see this powerful movie, but most importantly, live and let live.

Know what really annoys me? Bitches in their oversized SUV's, parking wherever and however they feel like. Don't make me pull you out the car!

Happy 2006

2006 is here... and with a new year comes all those damn resolutions. Every year my list seems to be getting longer and longer. What used to be, "Lose 10 lbs" is now, "Lose 50, you fucking fat-ass!" I gotta do it. I just cannot get any larger. I have definitely exceeded any and every maximum I've ever put in place for myself. If I were to get pregnant - good god - I don't want to think about how wide and flat my ass would get. I've heard girls say that they actually will forget to eat. How the hell can you forget to eat!?!? I awake in the morning and my first thought plans out every meal and every possible snack for the day. I literally fantasize about what yummy dinner and what scrumptious dessert I will make - then devour. I know, I know that's really bad. So if you see me, and I'm grumpy, you'll know why. I'm going through cheese and alcohol withdrawals. Watch out.
