gay, repressed cowboys...
*sigh*
Jen and I went to see Brokeback Mountain, figured that this way, we wouldn't have to, A: find sitters for the sprats, and B: defend a beautiful love story, to two men, who, while they may be comfortable in their manhood, revert to middle school boys, who think it's funny to wipe snot on a seat.
It was beautiful. It was SAD.
Jen, however, lost her SHIT, she started sniffling, then it progressed to hands on the face, to full-on, shaking in her seat, making noises, sobbing. It was a lovely movie, I highly recommend it. Heath Ledger, and Jake Gyllenhaal's performances were astounding, especially given that in every other movie I've seen Jake in, I can't shake the image of Frank's head in the mirror, in Donnie Darko, LOL.
It makes me sad, for all the people who end up, so disconnected, from that which they really want, in life, because of society's conventions, or fear of what others will think. Why *do* we care so much for other's thoughts? As if our self-worth can be measured by a stranger's second glance, or friend's opinions of our mates, outfit, house, or life choice? Why do we spend so much damn time, trying to just be "normal"? I would love to say that I never fall into that trap, but I do. I suppose it's human nature. I'm just glad, that it's never cost me, a life of happiness with the person I truly love.
Because, he's upstairs, very much, NOT wiping boogers on seats.
