My story isnt as interesting as some of yours. I have been on Phil's Bettermost since around the 2nd week it started. I didnt have an avatar/pic because I could barely admit I saw the Mountain. I have had a rough time this year so far with lots of stuff in my head about what the film said to me and then a car wreck and now figurin myself out all from a state like Idaho which is about as closed as you can be to different thinking about stuff. I am now brave enough to put my pic up as an avatar here because Im not afraid anymore. I still dont know exactly who I am inside but at least I am thinking about it for the first time ever in my whole life!! I cant believe I am so different after a movie. I have done more crying about things this year than I have done my whole entire life. You folks may not know how much this place is important to me because without it I'd still be the shuffling around in my life going nowhere.

So now I can put my pic up here cuz I know I am with my buds (heh Phil hates that word so I can say friends too!!)


Hey mate.  It's good that you feel safe here.  So do I.  It's a great feeling hunh!

Becasue its a one of a kind!

Take it like a man - steady and strong, not a lot of fuss and carring on.  True to a promise, I can ride in any storm.  So bend over and take it like a man...Too much of a good thing is a good thing.

That's all wonderful and I am so happy for you!  The movie is real powerful!  I'm 57, I came at at 29, and after seing BBM eight times in the theater, I STILL cry each time I see it and sometime when I just listen to the music!

I like your picture, with that great hat.

I chose my avatar because of HEATH!! I am also definitely more an Ennis than a Jack.

Then I started becoming more and more a Jake fan, rather than a Heath fan, but I came back 180° to Heath, after I got the results from celebmatch.com!  :laugh: 

So after trying about 5 or 6 different avatars, this one stuck.

Jude, my roommate has that page from Rolling Stone with your avatar pic up on our wall. It's quite appreciated!  ;)
