Where are you in your process?

How 'bout some cherry cake?

I watched BBM once again.  It still has the way effect on me, I love the film, the joys and sorrows in it, but I don't dwell on it afterwards very much.  The one thing that I 'm thankful for is a greter appreication of music.  I listen to country and western more now and like it a lot.

Country is wonderful; lyrics have such meaning. That is why the soundtrack is so rich with communication. Try Crystal Gayle's "It's like we never said goodbye" to seem like a song written for Ennis and Jack's first reunion.

I myself am much more appreciative of country and Western music than ever before, and it's thanks to this movie. On my last return drive home from Kerrville with my sister, I had my sister's car radio tuned to a country-and-Western station the whole way, and found the music comforting and inspiring. This music is of the earth (is "earthy"), and listening to it makes me feel grounded and centered.

Did you know that in the American West, before the term "Country & Western" was devised, the local name for  this type of music was "Heart Songs"?

No, I didn't know that; very interesting! "Heart Songs" are certainly an apt description for much of this music--at its best, it is sincere, without pretension, and utterly from the heart.

The Process??  Where am I?

I've not watched the movie for long time, but feel like I want to, then I think how sad I feel when I do,  and I don't.  I love the characters, like firends, but the loss of Jack is too much and I can't afford the Kleenexes!

I'm considering joining the Alberta Pilgrimage!

Don't know if I 'll make it.  It's so damned expensive to fly back home from Asia then up there too, but I just might.  And I'll probably give in the to movie soon.  No movie has ever been so powerful.  I've seen it 7 times ... You'd think there'd be a time when everyone would get tired of it, but I don't know if I'll ever tire of BBM.   LOL

[Rayn]

Yep, I did it again.  Watched the film last night, loved it, laughed, cried, felt down for a few, but didn't mind.  So NOW WHERE AM I IN THE PROCESS....

I'm in the process of gettin' hooked on Brokeback Mountain again!   

Still planning on the Pilgrimage...

Posting stuff here.

I need help, and I know that I can count on some of you who have gone through what I'm going through for the help that I need! I have been watching this movie since January 2007, and have lost count as to how many times. I have the dvd, but every time it comes on TV I watch it because the picture is much better. Anyway, yesterday I saw the movie twice on one of the cable channels. Today I am desperately trying not to watch it because I don't want to get tired of it.

My problem is- I am trying to refrain from watching the movie for at least a couple of days or even for a few weeks. How does one do this, and why is it so difficult not to give in to the urge to watch BBM? This may sound silly, but I feel comfortable sharing this with you because there has to be someone out there who has experienced this and who understands what I am feeling.

I haven't been a participant that long on this board and have only posted a few times. Again, I am reaching out because I don't want to get burned out!!!!

Help.........

I feel like a drug addict needing a fix. Has anyone else experienced this feeling???
