What if the world actually worked the way you wanted it to, just for one day. Would it go back to nothing the next?

I was just looking at the top 20 greatest films of all time according to They Shoot Pictures, Don't They? . . .

1. Citizen Kane (1941/Welles)
2. The Rules of the Game (1939/Renoir)
3. Vertigo (1958/Hitchcock)
4. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968/Kubrick)
5. 8 ½ (1963/Fellini)
6. Seven Samurai (1954/Kurosawa)
7. The Godfather (1972/Coppola)
8. The Searchers (1956/Ford)
9. Tokyo Story (1953/Ozu)
10. Singin in the Rain (1952/Donen)
11. Sunrise (1927/Murnau)
12. Battleship Potemkin (1925/Eisenstein)
13. The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928/Dreyer)
14. Rashomon (1950/Kurosawa)
15. The Godfather Pt II (1974/Coppola)
16. Raging Bull (1980/Scorsese)
17. L’Atalante (1934/Vigo)
18. Lawrence of Arabia (1962/Lean)
19. The Bicycle Thief (1948/De Sica)
20. Touch of Evil (1958/Welles)

. . . and a few things came to my mind.

1. It's sad that I've only seen 6 of them.

2. It's even worse that I had never even previously heard of 8 of them.

3. I think it's kind of messed up that the list does not include any film made in the past 25 years.

4. I hate the fact that it is probably next to impossible for me to find a lot of these to watch them.

5. I want to see 8 1/2 so bad.

6. I'm really glad Godfather II is on here, even though it's not above I.

7. I need to see all the ones I haven't seen.

8. I want to be on that list someday.

grin

My pups died yesterday.
He felt suddenly worse, and the operation we were preparing to was made immediately, but he lived 6 hrs more and his heart stopped.
Sleep peacefully, my own little dear!

I'm terribly sorry, dear. My thoughts are with you. You certainly gave him a happy life with all the love you shared throughout these years. Just think he's still with you, even if in a different way. Inside your heart, there's a doggie shaped spot. It's his spot. He will always be there for you, whenever you need him, whenever you miss him. I'm sure our beloved ones, either humans or animals, never stop being around, even when they die. They're still there, caring and loving as ever. As long as we remember them, we keep them somehow alive. And someday we are going to be reunited.

A huge hug.

I'm really sorry to hear that, JM.

Take comfort in knowing he's not in any pain or discomfort now.

Sorry to hear that. Had a cat squashed on the road the other day. It's just a little road, no need to be going fast on it. That's the second cat in 8 months. This makes me angry, stupid bastids 2 minutes late for the train or something. A waste.

*IDIOT OF THE DAY*
I was driving past these guys who are repairing a wall which keeps getting knocked down by (poor) drivers. I was the last in a line of traffic, and as I passed one of the workers he spat into the air so as to land one on my van. I slowed to avoid it, and gave him a questioning shrug. The idiot just gave me a beligerant gesture in return. What did he do that for? it's a lovely sunny day, I am in a good mood, he could of just gave me a thumbs up! but no -he decides to spit on me.
He just might find himself at that job a bit longer than expected, after i go inspect his work with a sledge hammer. I'll give it some thought over the duration of the day. After all, it's not his co-workers fault that they are stuck with an idiot in the ranks.

Thanks everyone. I'm really out of shape. I'm trying do dull pain with sedatives, and Russian Standard, and what not, but it's all in wain, my heart feels continually torn to pieces when i think that he never will come through that door, and lay on his little pillow that is still here, i have no heart to put it away, - that he lays there, alone, in cold earth, forever!

yes, dear, cry. Cry. Let all the tears out. You need it. It's alright. It's too early now. All you need is feeling this pain. I'm not saying it isn't painful. It is. Time will help you cope with the loss. One day you'll wake up and that pain will be bearable. That means your doggie is watching over you, faithfully as ever. Only he's doing this from another place. It takes time. But it happens.

Its only his body thats in the earth. His spirit and soul are soaring in the heavens where he's probably now running around with other puppies.

you bet! smile

I'll copy and paste this poem about a place called "Rainbow Bridge".

"Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together...."

(Author unknown)

Thanks SC. Thanks Lavi, you knew what to post to make me cry, you! smile
I really hope, I even feel that he must be in a better world. I don't think many people deserve it more! He was a sun, lighting the world around him. He was incredible person! I hope God takes care of him, and Angels in heaven brush his dear gray hair regularly, more regularly than I did! I'm only still under the impression of yesterday's feelings, when I put into grave his little body, so thin after his illness, and kissed it for the last time! That it's the start of spring around, and first flowers, and he cannot run on the grass, and cannot see the sun, his bright eyes closed forever!
Sorry, really, - i'm bitterly out of shape!

Just finished a fifteen-hour Art exam; three five-hour shifts. I paint far too fast for my own good. I had initially prepared to do four canvases, and ending up doing a six-panelled piece with another spare. Very pleased, though.

lol So I just kinda sorta broke up with a guy. But I wasn't dating him.

Quote
So.. this morning after my 6AM fire drill, as I was laying there trying to go back to sleep I was thinking. I really don't want/need a relationship right now because I just got out of a bad one. Plus I'm moving in 2 weeks. Long distance relationships suck. Now, I don't really know what your intentions are, but mine are just to have fun.

Soo.. yeah. Just wanted to make that clear. I'm sorry if I led you on or some shit like that.
That's what I sent to him this morning. He read it. And hasn't called me since. lol Oh well.. C'est la vie tongue
