Sometimes I feel like that too. :D
Sometimes I feel like I'm going to lose it and just go crazy! :D
I'm feeling inspired now! I'm going to go work on my new picture! :D

Well, we're all CRAZY sometimes, aren't we? And I stress the SOMETIMES...

This story hit me pretty hard. There are a number of connections here.
Cold Case is shot in Philadelphia, where I live. I recognized several
of the exteriors where this episode was shot. I have worked for the
local casting agent for Cold Case back when they had the contract for
Hack. There are some familiar faces in the background of this series.
Also, I know a gay Philadelphia police lieutenant personally. From
time to time, he pops into one of my favorite gay watering holes. He's
a great guy. He's built like a refrigerator. German-Irish. Tough as
nails. Very sweet. Watching this show, I couldn't help but think that
guys like Sean and Jimmy made the world, and the force, safe for my buddy.
I'm happy that Jerry Bruckheimer produced this episode. I'm happy that
CBS chose to air it. As a black man, I know that TV can have a
significant effect on how the world views minorities. Show like
this—ones that portray gay people as real humans with real lives and
real problems—go a long way to normalizing our relationships with
society at large. Shows like this illustrate and inform the world
about our struggle.
Like Brokeback Mountain, Forever Blue has made me grateful for the
time and circumstances under which I was born. It has reinforced my
commitment to living my life openly and honestly. And it reminds me of
what a precious gift I have in my life partner.
Peace,
Milo
twistedude:
Amen to that.
If anyone thinks I'm writing in anything but insulting Swahili, would they please tell David925?

A word about photcaps (I'm obviously using this thread as a photocap thread for FB).: They are often irreverent and funny about serious things. Does not mean poster has the sensitivity of a toilet seat. (Look under "I love the lighter side" under "photocaps: beware! Irreverent!" There, they complain of you post a SERIOUS one! For instance: Jack, looking in his rearview mirror" "Oh well..easy come; easy go" Really irreverent.
Coop, thinking: Jeez, Lieutenant, ...what are we talking about? Oh--Bruno's wife, I get it now. O.K. I'm up for that.
