Heroes....

anyone geard up to see Watchmen this weekend, I think I"ll try and see it, mainly for the special effects, and a little bit for the blue guy supposedly nude the whole film. ha
I got outside today, it was awesome outdoors all day, and then drove to visit my parents.
I mentioned going to a friend's funeral tomorrow, and explained everything, and my dad says, was he single? and I felt like saying yeah he was a single gay man but he never shared it with his family and now I suppose will never have to. but of course I didn't.... I'm sure they'd have to see what I was really trying to say about myself. whoah.
I bought a shirt on the way home, went to the gym, back and shoulders day, then back home for some tv all night long. a little of American Idol, 3rd rock, back and forth to PBS, then ER..blah Noah wylie back on there, and some stupid episode trick of a documentary being filmed and them talking to the camera..... yawn....they did that on MASH years ago.
growing up in OKC one thing was every night after the news, MASH reruns were on. I've probably seen everyone many times, my favorites were the early ones with col. blake and frank.
I had a really good talk with mom and dad about future career options. also I have a roomate possibly moving in from AR this summer. I could use the extra rent money plus the company.

I doubt it would take an elaborate story about the death of a gay friend before your parents would entertain the idea that your gay.

If some middle schoolers figured it out after a few days of knowing you, why not your parents after 30 something years?

of course, it was so obvious that he asked in the first place. ha
it was just an afterthought about getting it out in the open.

It usually happens when a guy finally comes out to his parents that they already suspected it. I feel sorry for your friend's parents, they never got a chance to know their real son.

Dan, totally relate to latenight MASH reruns growing up in OKC. Also, Taxi!

Btw, Watchmen sucked big time. So disappointed. Was so ready to see some good superhero action and all you get is this existential cold war nonsense with really dense and non-special "heroes".

Ok..I'll bite. The future roommate is from AR. What or where is AR?
Accounts Receivable?

I hope the person asking about AR is from outside the USA.

Otherwise, Dan, you are failing miserably teaching Geography to our youngsters! AR=Arkansas!

I loved WATCHMEN - though admittedly I am a fan of the original comics, so knew what to expect, ie an anti-superhero film rather than a traditional superhero movie, which I expect is what Anon10.53 was expecting... What did you think of the film?
