for ed...

A Texan, a Canadian, and a guy from Michigan are out riding horses.

The Texan pulls out an expensive bottle of whiskey, takes a shot, then another, and suddenly throws the bottle in the air, pulls out his gun and shoots the bottle in mid air. The Canadian looks at him and says, "What are you doing?! That was a perfectly good bottle of whiskey!" The Texan says, "In Texas, there's plenty of whiskey and bottles are cheap."

A while later, not wanting to be outdone, the Canadian pulls out a bottle of champagne, takes a few sips, throws the bottle in the air, pulls out his gun and shoots it. The guy from Michigan can't believe this and says, "What did you do that for? That was an expensive bottle of Champagne!"

The Canadian says "In Canada there's plenty of Champagne and bottles are cheap."

So a while later the guy from Michigan pulls out a bottle of beer. He opens it, takes a sip, takes another sip, and then chugs the rest. He then puts the bottle back in his saddlebag, pulls out his gun, turns around and shoots the Canadian.

The Texan, shocked, says, "Why did you do that?"

The guy from Michigan says, "Well, in Michigan, we have plenty of Canadians, but bottles are worth a dime."

since we're on the subject of Swank...

i like to think my mind goes in many different directions, but sometimes i wonder... i've noticed a pattern in the last day; and that pattern is Hillary Swank. it started when i woke up this morning around 1:30am and decided The Reaping was the only thing on worth watching. (i didn't say my decisions have always been good.) After which, I turned on The Black Dahlia - I didn't even know Swank was in it so I was pleasantly surprised. Well, not too pleasant since I managed to fall back asleep by about 4am. i guess i don't care what happened to bobby dewitt...

this morning i figured laundry would be much more exciting interspersed with Iron Jawed Angels but came across Boys Don't Cry first. think what you want about transexual/transgender people (i personally am completely impressed with their ability to know who they are so acutely that they recognize that their assigned gender is the issue. i barely know who i am some days, much less understand who i am not.) but this movie is fantastic. and the amazing acting by miss hillary swank is undeniable.



so now, laundry's done. spaghettios are eaten. and hillary swank is once again gracing my screen as Alice Paul of the National Women's Party. she continues to amaze me. the fight continues to amaze me. and damn if i don't want to get out and vote today. and every day. because i can.

This scene gives me chills every time I see it.



so here's something, i think the last two movies need to combine in real life... the current fight for the rights of all individuals to marry needs to find their "Alice Paul". someone to go to the mattresses. someone strong enough to fight the good fight. and while we're on it - why is there so much hate in the world? you know what - i won't do it today. i'll get off the box before i start. happy sunday.

this post could have turned into 4 separate ones. 1. Hillary Swank is amazing. 2. Gender Identity and what it means. 3. Women's Vote. 4. Gay Rights or Human Rights. so maybe some other day, i'll do it. but for now, suffice it to say Hillary Swank movies make me think. (ok, maybe not The Next Karate Kid...) i think i'll throw in Freedom Writers once this is over. and then we're on to another subject...



what good is an extra hour...

in the day if i don't get to sleep during it? instead of sleep, i'm watching the reaping (not very closely as it has the potential of freaking me right the fuck out). and trying to get this cats to stop running around sounding like a heard of elephants. but the last one's an unreachable goal...

UPDATE: the ending blew. i say pass on the sequel they left it open for...



happy sunday kids.
