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.

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...

Bipolar Me Today, Downer Post

Sorry, just one of those days, you know. Feel free to move along to happier browsing. It is a good song, though, and I know I can't be the only weirdo who sometimes wishes to just rather be dead. No? " Wish I was too dead to cry, my self-affliction fades. Stones to throw at my creator, masochist to which I cater . " You don't need to bother, I don't need to be. I'll keep slipping farther but once I hold on, I won't let go 'til it bleeds . " Wish I was too dead to care, if indeed I cared at all. Never had a voice to protest, so you fed me shit to digest . " I wish I had a reason, my flaws are open season. For this I gave up trying, one good turn deserves my dying . " You don't need to bother, I don't need to be. I'll keep slipping farther but once I hold on, I won't let go 'til it bleeds . " Wish I'd died instead of lived, a zombie hides my face. Shell forgotten with its memories, diaries left with cryptic ent...
