No reason, just that this makes me cry happy tears. So I'm a wuss.

    I know what you mean. Soon as I saw the first couple of seconds, I stopped it. I can't even watch it again. Think I've seen it twice. Though it's a "happy ending" it is soooooooo emotional that it hurts...it that makes sense...I think it breaks my heart and I can't get passed thinking about when they had to send him away...poor baby. It is beautiful though...maybe so beautiful it hurts. (?)

    The happy ending makes the whole thing worth watching, though. Except that I have no Kleenex. Thank God for shirtsleeves.

    I must have gotten that whole over-emotional thing from you. I've watched this like, three times in row now. It's incredible, and I'm practically bawling. :)

    Nothing wrong with inheriting the emotional gene from me, sug. :-) Like father like daughter. Fortunately you seem to have inherited the good stuff, glad so much of the other didn't take.

    Hi Megan! you're dad is cool. This video, people say, oh it's not real---please, research with dolphins, monkeys, apes and lions, all have proven the animals DO remember their human friends. It is we humans who kill for fun. We are more cruely animalist than even snakes. Steve Irwin gave his life to proving that.

    You know, Diane, me being the cynic that I am, I did do some checking into this being real before I posted it. And it is real. I found so many pictures of stuff of these guys from back then with the lion in their home, and caught up with recent interviews with the two guys themselves, to know that's it's real. And you're right, there is enough other proof of animals remembering their human family that yeah, this is real. I saw the guys on the Today show talking the experience, it was fascinating. Your point about it's us humans who kill for fun, well said. Probably the cruelest of creatures, I agree. And thanks for calling me cool, by the way. :-)

    Megan,
    I should pay more attention. (Last name) Then I saw the "like father like daughter" but since I call Doug my pretend son...it just went over my head.
    Hi Megan, real daughter...that would mean I'm your pretend Grandma. :)

    My daughter is an awesome woman, I just wanted to mention that. Of course, I'm biased, I know, but true even if she wasn't mine.

    Hi Diane! Yes, you're right, my dad is cool. *cough* I just wish that I saw him more often. *cough* He loves you, by the way. :)

    Hi Lumina/Grandma. That "like father like daughter" thing is definitely true between me and my dad. We have a lot in common, and I'm often told by my family when I've just made a "Doug face". Haha, so true. Anyway, thank you for the greeting.

    And Dad, thanks for saying I'm awesome. You're awesome. I must have gotten some of that from you too.

Why's There Even You and Me? A Personal Diversion

Obama still ba-rocks and McCain still, um ... is a dick. Okay. That's the extent of my political rumination today. Although I may be totally off on both counts, I wouldn't know. I honestly paid zero attention to realpolitik today so I have no clue what might have happened really. I have other more personal and most disconcerting things on my mind. I'm kind of creeped out. I have a stalker ... don't laugh. I really do. I think his name is Mike but I'm not even sure about that. He was probably lying when I asked, whatever the hell it was he said, but that's what I think I remember. I was drunk at the time. Admittedly my fault. I'm an idiot sometimes, no new tale to tell there. I don't recall exactly how I met the guy in the first place - it was a couple of years ago - but I do know that I willingly gave up my address. With directions, no less. Just in case. Damn the hooch. What was I thinking? Anyway, so here's the deal. I had him over a time or two ea...

Don't Ask, Don't Tell - Just Do It

Like most other gay folks, I was gratified the other night to hear President Obama announce at the State of the Union address his intention to put repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell on the agenda for 2010. Of course we were all hyped when we heard it the first time, too. Back when he was pandering the rainbow coalition for votes during his campaign, pledging to be a "fierce advocate" for LGBT rights. To start working toward getting rid of DADT during his first year as president was part of that promise. Not that he has totally snubbed us, I guess, but tagging him a "fierce advocate" is probably a stretch . It's really little wonder that much of the queer community reacted approvingly, but also with a fair amount of skepticism, the other night after hearing him vow again to do what he vowed once before with nothing gotten done so far. This DADT thing, I wouldn't think, should be such a big ordeal to get over and done with in short order. Even military p...

Hung on the Cross

So what, I'm not very mature for my age. I don't care, I'm easily amused because of it, and I enjoy being amused. Like this picture of a crucifix which was hoisted a couple of months ago above the main altar at the St. Charles Borromeo Catholic church in Oklahoma: I can come up with lots of hilariously inappropriate captions here, some that even I am embarrassed to admit thinking up, despite my unabashed crudity. I would share but probably everyone else is too sophisticated to see the humor. Plus, I really don't want to go to Hell. I'm guessing that there are an awful lot of Okie parishioners down there at the church where this is hung for real, who I reckon wouldn't appreciate my sense of humor about it, either. They are, in general, hugely offended by it instead, because they see nothing funny whatsoever about displaying Jesus' ginormous penis in church, not in the least bit! Seems as though this has caused quite a "deep divide" among members o...
