Off topic!

It’s kinda off topic to say, but I just wanted to say that I’m starting to realize how thankful that I am.  I watched one of those police shows tonight, the one with Amy Jo Johnson in it… The pink power ranger.  It’s 1am, and it has just finished.  Although this maybe irrelevant, but the synopsis was of a guy in highschool named Ryan, who fell in love with Tyler.  Now, Ryan happened to deny his sexuality and was keeping it undercover for six months, until there was a video spread local, but became viral – similar to those advertisements on television about sexting/sending pictures and information without permission of the original subject. 

            After “corrective” therapy, Ryan managed to get his closer friends at gunpoint, with a guy named Joe, who had released the video.  Ryan was in a ski-mask and heavy jacket for the weather.  Long story short, no-one was hurt.  Police investigation, and a wild goose chase led the Police to Ryan who happened to be within the school, where the video was filmed.  From a psychological standpoint, he wanted to be in the place that he was most happy.  He ties up a noose and attempts to hang himself until a policeman intervenes.  Policeman doesn't do an amazing job, but Ryan jumps.  The rope is cut at the last second, and he falls to the ground.

Happy ending, better love story than twilight.

It boggles me to see someone so ashamed as himself as Ryan was.  I understand that living within American media has bought on a different story than my own, which is not nearly as rough, but still can be considered.  It was easier for me, considering my family, and the circumstances that I encountered growing up. 

My personal thoughts about this are that yes, I'm not in this circumstance.  I kinda wish I could help people who are going through this, and make them a better person, give them a place in life, and see them smile again.  this can only happen if both parties will make sense of this.

#2 - I was watching "Days of our lives" with Irene last night, and a scene came on with a gay couple having a discussion in bed, kissing and enjoying each other's company.  I wasn't too sure how Irene is around homosexuality, so I sat there nervously, and embraced what she was going to say.

The scene finishes, and Irene turns to me: "I wish I had their knees!"

I couldn't stop laughing, in relief and in good humour.

#3 - I had crab last night.  It's a first for me to be eating seafood, because I never did before.  Kinda ironic, since I had been raised in an island nation...
