about Brokeback Mountain

I didn't see it, I wish I did.
I heard so much about it, read so much about it, and I didnt see it.

I guess Im going to wait until the DVD come out, then I will get Adam to sit down and watch it with me.People told me this movie makes people cry, because it is a real love story, not cheesy nasty ones that you see all the time on the widescreen/TV. That's a good news to me.

About why I need to have Adam to sit down and watch, because he is uncertain about homosexual people in many ways. Sometimes he seems disturbed when I try to talk with him about it. This I understand, people are afraid of things that they don't know and they were educated not to be part of. But is what we were taught 100% correct?

I remember I used to write diary for about 4 or 5 years. It was a great way to run away from the frustrations and be a rebel. I remember, surprisinly that I wrote once, if I love someone, and that is true love, it doesnt matter if it is a man or a woman, because it is the person's soul that I truly love.But it was under a different circumstance. Because my mother told me that she is a mother and father at same time to me, and either she is a mother, or a father, I love her anyways.

After these many years, I came to believe what once I believed, love, when it comes down to the purest form, it is all the same, the way you love your spouse, your parents and your children. They are like part of yourself that complete you and make you who you are. So if we decide the fact that 2 men deeply in love with each other is not the kind of love that we ordinary people share, and we expel them from our society or force them to live the way they don't want...well I cant think of a a worse thing that we can do to them.

There are many things that are still being changed, because as time goes by people start to realize that not all things written in the books are the truth. In China, not too long ago, homosexuality was still categorized as one of the mental disorder. Everybody is unique, to respect the individual regardless their sexual orientation is to respect the humanity.

And the movie, might be a good start for many uncertain people.

the humanity of dolphins and the animalism of human

Both Len and I believe that dolphins are the smartest animals in the world, smarter than a lot people out there.

The result is especially obvious when you compare a dolphin with jorge bush--dolphins can protect human swimmers from sharks while bush sends our people to die constantly. Talking about being semi-serious and 100% sarcastic.

But on a less political and more scientific level, there are many evidences to prove that dolphins are unusually intelligent.

From dolphin's cerebral studies, a bottlenose dolphin's brain size is slightly bigger than a human's brain, and can be as 4 times bigger as a chimp's brain. Dolphin's cerebral cortex is 40% bigger than a human's, with "wrinkles" of near equivalent complexity. hence in marine life studies and other researches, people prefer to compare dolphin's brains with human's rather than the primate animals.

The highly complex brain structures of dolphins decided their behaviors and how they are famous for being quick learners. It also applies on how dolphins communicate with other dolphins using clicks and whistles, while they use echolocation to locate objects in the ocean.

I read about that the US navy trained dolphins to spot sea mines in the bottom of the ocean, also read that human, sometimes slaughter dolphins for fishing reasons. Dolphins can be very aggressive while they are fighting sharks and orcas so it's not like that they cannot fight back the unjust that people force onto them, but they rarely attack human, even if human treat them cruelly.

I said, "dolphin for president".
"got my vote already," said Len.



For whoever that is interested, Im reading a book I got from Amazon.
