the gay cowboy movie

brokeback mountain is not just a gay cowboy movie. i think that it is one of those movies that everyone should see because it makes you think and not many movies do that these days.

the movie is first and foremost a love story about two cowboys in the 60s but it is also this amazing commentary on the nature of love and wether or not all the trials and tribulations in relationships are worth it when you really love someone straight or gay, because really both of the situations are presented in the movie.

this is not a movie that would have been made ten or even five years ago but i think that it just proves that our society is ready and willing to think again about what they believe in...i even heard that filming this movie changed some of the views of the actors themselves which is fantastic. the effect of the changes that are taking place all over the world are reflected in the fact that this movie was made and that people are going to see it.

it is a piece of beautiful film making both cinematically and socially and it should and hopefully will be shown and talked about for a long time to come

slurpees in the winter...a man after my own heart

i was walking home the other day (friday i believe it was) and I saw a boy with a slurpee and i thought to myself i should get me one of those. I really do enjoy a slurpee or two in the winter...is that strange?!?! I know that its cold and all considering that we live in alberta but really it just makes me think of all the possibilities of warm weather to come...maybe not in edmonton but in other places that i wish i could go perhaps such as mexico or australia. i also find it fantastic that i am not the only one that feels the necessity to partake in this small enjoyable in my opinion year around pleasure. so to my slurpee drinking boy i salute you! oh and by the way will you marry me?

the student's arch nemesis...slow walkers

so i have decided that since this blog thing is so popualr i need to jump on the band wagon! woot woot for conformity!!! I am actually beginning this blog because i had an experince today that i feel compelled to rant about:
each and everyday i walk through hub mall, each morning, numerous times in the afternoon and each evening, and each and every day i get stuck behind the slowest walkers that god created. now don't get me wrong...
i am not the fastest walker that the world has ever seen in fact my sister thinks that i am one of the slowest...i disagree but this is not the point...
i don't have hours or even all that many minutes in between classes i have 10 minutes to be exact each and everyday betweeen each and every class so i don't have time to walk behind all those of you who feel the need to hold hands and window shop in hub mall...which the majority of you pass through, like myself multiple times each day. It doesn't change from day to day i promise.
So anyway...today....i am waling to my class in tory through hub mall and i am not late not early in the middle somewher..as per usual and i get stuck behind this boy...i shall call hom bob. so bob knows that i am behind him and that i am attempting to pass him as i have no time to mosey i have class, he blocks my ability to pass and i am destined to walk behind him from the fine arts side of hub mall all the way to tory. i don't think that it has ever taken me so long to get from one end of hub mall to the other...needless to say i was not in a good mood and that i felt a distinct need to yell at him...but i have controlled myself until now....so to slow walker bob....ARGGGGGGGGGG!!!! you made me late for class...all slow walkers beware i am coming for you!!!
