I just found the original post that somehow vanished. Now,before you just think that I'm an old fogey trying to use a computer. I am quite profecient and worked for IBM as a hadware tech, Micosoft as a Windows Technical Lead, At Hostpro, as a technical service agent doing virtual hosting, and then for years as an MCT. But, My PC just does strange things with my text sometimes. I tried to rewite my thoughts and so now you can compare and see how I did.
(the followin is my attempt to recreate a long post that was lost)
You got to be kidding me? This was billiant, maybe, too brilliant! perhaps I will dumb it down and not talk about that awesome actor who "suffered for his art" and was a real martyr. Really, he would've gptten that year's "best actor" award if he had really been acting in that Heartattack scene. I know, what are the chances! Could be that he was a method actor trying to feel the effects of too much cholestorol firsthand. dunno.
I'll just copy messages that I sent to Hannah, instead of retyping all my rants about the fantastic film "Rory O'Shea Was Here." I actually did cry during the scene where the guy with Cerebal palsy told the guy dying with Muscular Dystrophy that "Rory O'shea Was Here". His words weren't as clear but his meaning was loud and clearly gestured!
Ok Here's What I said about it to her:

I am so throughly disgusted! I just did something I want to share but it was wrong. I watched a rated R movie that was so good. "Rory O'Shea was here." A real tear jerker. I cannot even mention to my parents that I saw it, but holywood had to go and destroy it with filthy language, without which it would've and should've been a great movie. I only guess why they do that is to teach otherwise ignorant fools precious truths in their own vernacular. Really, I couldn't even let my kids or husband see it because of the swearing, really the subject didn't need it, but they tried to make a point in one place where Rory waas dictating a letter and the one trying to write it down suggested that he might need to rethink that particular wording, and replied that it was needed to provide the needed punch. I always think of that sort of language is for shock value or needed attention. I think the witers through that charactyer told how they were aware of the language used, and it's inappropriateness and used it anyway! I'm just upset. I want you to see it, but cannot encourage it because of the rating and the rating is due to the language.

Nick just asked me a question and I let him have it. I compared my recent film with Persuit of happiness and explained that throughout history, truly courageous individuals did things that seemed illogical and crazy to others. Most times, the people themselves wouldn't even reason it out, like Nephi killing a man for the good of others. Nick did say that war is a totally different story. I do not think it is. I used Captain Moroni as that example, anyway after I finished saying my part about people needing divine intervention or they would not be able to do such things. I looked at him and said, "Now do you see why I like to talk to Hannah? She asks things and I tell her what I'm thinking and she replies!" He thought for a minute then said, "Oh, you communicate?" bingo!
I had been thinking very hard about Rory O'Shea and how he left his nice comfortable residence with nurses, to take care of himself. I really thought the moral of the story would be that they realized that independance isn't for everyone, but instead they showed that it was worth their life, and all the comforts possible. It taught me a whole lot more, but I bet it was very hard to leave loved ones and care givers behind. I also loved another point where their nurse explains that she is sorry that she does not love them back the way they would like, but you cannot control who you love. hmmmm.. Then, this is a key point, she explained wisely, that what he felt for her wasn't that kind of love either it was gratitude. I wonder how much clearly we could understand things like love if our language was improved. Too much heartache is caused by miscommunication!

Another movie I shouldn't be talking about
Aptly named, I ought to refer to this as my "Rory O'Shea Post" I already did a good rant to Hannah about how disgiusted I was with the language, I am not good at typing since the Nervous System Infection /Brain Biopsy, so, I'll just re post what I had said in my first reaction:

Hey! that was so easy, I'll just repost my last thought on that movie here too instead of retyping it all:

Nick just asked me a question and I let him have it. I compared my recently watched film with Will Smith's "The Persuit of happiness" and explained that through history truly corageous individuals did things that seemed illogical and crazy to others, Nost times, the people themselves wouldn't even reason it out, like Nephi killing a man for the good of others. Nick did say that war is a totally different story. I do not think it is.

Some movies just really get to me, this one did. I broke down (which is rare when I'm not pregnant) in tears when the boy with Cerebal Palsy told the Muscular Dystophy dude that "Rory O'Shea was here." pointing as best he could to his heart. I could almost understand him then. Well, not his words, his meaning was loud and clearly gestured.
I can't end on such a sad note, so, I'll tell of another story that isn't really funny, but it's a lighter note, to me. At an one-act-play competition, no it was a theater competition in Mississippi that I went with my teacher to see at The
university of Southern Mississippi. Anyway, this guy's performance was sooooo good, he was portraying a heartattack! The previous year, a girl won for her brilliant job at being an autistic child. Well, there was no question he would have won best actor, if it wasn't real. He died of a heart attack, for real! I know, what are the odds? A real method actor I suppose, wanting to feel the colestorol's effects first hand. *shrug* don't know, but talk about a real slave to his craft. This guy was a true martyr!

Archetypes galore!
I almost feel psychic myself as my conversations in the recent past intersected in the last episode of The Dead Zone that I watched. The story line included archetypes like Bees, Nuerological doctors, hospitals, divorced couples, lovers meeting and moving on, two pychics who recognize how terrible a relationship without secrets would seem, but mostly, they explored one of my current favorites: How seeing the future doesn't change it, and our perceptions are not to be trusted as stable or reliable.

The stupid things we do explained
I was thinking alot about what Kymm said about doing stupid things for boys. It is true and we find out that they were mistakes, according to what? As I pondered on her counsel that it would all work out in the end I thought, yeah, if God knows everything and Makes plans to protect his master plan from being thrwarted, which i do know, I can extrapolate that he knows the mistakes I made and make and techically, they are all accounted for hence "God blessed the broken road."
It was rediculous for me to up and move one day because I found a boy that
I was hoping for, but wasn't sure if he even exsisted, it seemed worth finding out. All this time, I retained some good friends though he claimed I didn't. Now, I see how others require outward signs for things to be understood. I am often misinterpreted because My words don't match my body language, though my words are accurate, I just never learned the unspoken way of communicating and it tosses people for a loop when they get two conflicting messages from me. I didn't expect a job in Nashville, and I didn't expect to seriously fall in love with this boy, but one thing after another after another caused me to write in my journal that my life didn't matter one bit before we met and it would take forever just to know him well enough, Taking forever? Well, that and his explanation that he had prayed about me and felt like it was right... Oh! I was so stupid to fall for that same old line, but I wanted it to be true, and we get what we want. Then, why the heck did he divorce me? If there is a bit of reality to the things he claims to believe then his action simply cannot be understood. He must have known something, though he never told me, out of desiring to save me ebarassment, he claims. I don't get it still. but, I know to stay clear, it was a mistake, though I do believe I had been prepared for it, only I didn't realize it until I look back. At the time, I figured I was just doing a service, or kind gesture in letting an older woman give me the most peculiar advice, I do not think it would benefit anyone else, nor even make sense. Alot of people would tell me strange things, I suppose that commonly happens when you are unexperienced and a thoughtful listener. Only, I didn't get what I was being told. I bet that is similar to how God feels about telling me things though.
