Give me some good beer, conversation, friends, and music and there is little that will bother me. I try to treat others as I wish to be treated and when I don't, I like to think I learn from my mistakes. I believe most people are trustworthy until proven otherwise. I'm a conversational snob. I have little tolerance for stupidity or rudeness. Common courtesy is one of the best traits one can have. I believe there is conversation that is inappropriate for the dinner table. I love running into people I used to know, but am always happier if I look cute when it happens. I think there would be much less ruckus in the world if brunch were a daily offering.

Brokeback Mountain

Melissa, Agie and I saw Brokeback Mountain tonight. It was fantastic. I'm going to put it in my top 10. I can completely understand now why Heath Ledger is getting all the recognition and accolades. It isn't because Jake Gyllenhaal is bad, it's just that Heath is so freakin fantastic in this role.

Being the mature person that I am, I thought it would be a good idea to guess how many people would walk out once they realized it wasn't just any old Western. I guessed 3, Melissa 6 and Agie (always believing the good in people) said none. Make your own guesses. Answer will be at the end.

Turns out it was not nearly as explicit as we had been led to believe. The first scene between the two is a bit shocking but that is as graphic as it gets, it is quick and is not anything more than the heterosexual scenes in the movie. That said, I did find myself beyond disturbed by a part in the film. There were *shudder* rodeo clowns. I hope I'll be able to sleep.

The answer is 2. Same as Syriana.
