What is it you can't see, Richard? Maybe I can enlighten you. You have dealt with souls tormented by the bottle and other tools of the devil. Just what is it that you don't understand about my dealings with him? "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Richard........ It was about the artist....yes. But also about his life and what led up to his recovery. Good Lord, drinking had everything to do with it. It was his life. Drinking is always 'an excuse'... Excuse me for this, sorry 'bout that, oops, can I have another chance? I have been excusing and apologizing for myself for nigh on 35 years or so. I know what the flick was about. My tombstone won't say 'kittyman'. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

I never said that drinking was an 'art'. Although I could crack a smile and say that it is an artform that some have not mastered as well as I... I have offended many in this life. But, it seems I have been forgiven by many more. For this, I thank God. He has his ways of rounding up his wayward children. See my next post in my 'musical travels' thread. Luv ya Richard. You always seem to have a way of cutting through the BS. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

I never said that drinking was an 'art'. Oh, my friend......... Thank you so much. I have admitted and confessed it many times on these boards. "I have a problem...." I do...and I know it. I do not hide from it. I deal with it the best I can, which is often, as some have noted, not good enough. I hide in my music, where many others with my affliction have bared their souls too. Acceptance is another hard nut to crack. And moving on is even harder. Monkey on my shoulder? More like a 500 pound gorilla. And somehow, every day.......I find the strength to get outta bed and wander on down the path of life that will lead me to Him. It's the kitties......it really is.

Ten toes up from the kitties....... Mel's best performance by far..... not the usual Mad Max thingy.....although he does get nasty at times...... The kitties recommend it highly.....and reality is not too distant from his representation, nor the truth. Money, government, usurps all....... Edge of Darkness....... We are there...........

Saw this the other day...... Astounding....should have done better in the awards. Yes, she can act. Changeling...... The real frightening thing is this based on a true story. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

OMFG....... Copout...... A kitty warning. This movie almost put me to sleep.......kept waiting for something really funny to happen...... Funny? NOT. Between high school grade scat jokes and one-liners that were done far better in the Airplane series, this flick sucked big time. I wouldn't pony up a dollar to buy a copy of this when it hits the Walmart dumpster. What was Bruce THINKING???? Ten paws down from the kitties. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."

On the other hand........this was wonderful. Invictus 'How do we inspire ourselves to greatness when nothing less will do? How do we inspire everyone around us?' A wonderful story.....told mostly by Morgan Freeman, one of the kitties' favorite actors. 'I am the master of my fate........I am the master of my soul.' Please do see if you have not. Meow meow.

I just changed my favorite movie of all time........ It's not 'The Wizard of Oz' anymore. Or even K-Pax. Avatar. Not only does it have the tweaks of current technology, but it has the teaching tales of human greed and what comes of it. And a happy ending. And she is the most beautiful being I have ever seen.......those eyes... And Sigourney has never looked better. Maybe......just maybe Cameron IS God. A movie that can make me cry 3 times in 3 hours must have something special to say. Mankind has taken so much from this planet and given nothing back. We should know than we can't continue on the same course on other worlds....... But the Na'vi........you see, they are very hard to kill. I see YOU. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."

Watched Ray again last night. Released the year of this passing...2004. It was tragically truthful about what went on behind the scenes that few saw at the time. Whatever his victories or his vices, he remains one of the best musicians of our time. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Avatar, what a joke. The humans should of laid waste to the people/planet and taken the $20M a gram stuff at their leisure. Defeated by bow and arrows and flying dragons. What a crock. A good sequel would be the humans coming back and doing the job right. James C. made the military look stupid, which they are not. Not when given an objective/mission and don't have to worry about collateral damage. 9 foot mystical people. HA! Rubbish. iWorm 'em. |

Well, wormy......it was sci fi.......not a freakin' documentary.... And had some lessons to be learned about the aggressive nature of the human animal......we can't take all we want, wherever we want, however we want. Apparently you missed the point...... But that's ok. I see YOU. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

I did not miss the point. I got every nuance. Sick of liberal bias. And Avatar is full of it. Maybe James C. should go back in time and run WWII. He'd be making movies for Adolf the Third. Believe me, I get it, oh how I get it. Hey, even I cry watching movies. iWorm 'em. |
