Seabiscuit-updated 08/05/03 Because of what Jimmy said.

Well, some critics have said that this movie is not as epic as they made it out to be- those critics are retarded. This is hands down the best movie since Remember the Titans (In it's Genre Jimmy- In its Genre) . I cannot compare it to Finding Nemo which was the best movie since The Lion King, but for its kind of movie, it was awesome.

I found my face wet with tears numerous time as my chest swelled with emotion. The moments of caring and loss and gain and respect and hardwork, and letting go- each of these lessons is played out in excellent fashion and I found myself literally applauding on the inside and out.

I am a horse lover. Growing up I worked on a horse ranch for over a year. I even had an Appaloosa when I was thirteen. She was 2 years old, very green, and one time when I was brushing her tail she kicked me in the arm and it turned purple. I cried and my grandmother was there at the time and she made me put some Maleleuca Oil on it- the latest product of the many products that she sold over the years.

I was also kicked in the leg when I was twelve when my half senile boss told me to stand behind this mare and hit her with a whip cause she wouldn't be still. I have never, ever, seen a 2 year old- horse or human, sit still when you are hitting them. Her muscle haunches started kicking at me so fast that it seemed like a chorus line of horses were kicking at me in fast-forward. It is still a blur as to how I got out of that stall without being trampled to death.

Later I was bitten and pawed in the back when a horse decided that he wanted to visit one of the Mares even though he was a gelding. Just because the package had been removed, didn't mean that the natural instinct had gone with it. He was angry with me, and getting stamped in the back does not feel good- however, it is more frightening than it is painful.

Which brings me back to Seabiscuit- it was an all around good movie with some excellent points- "just becuase a man is a little banged up, doesn't mean you throw a whole life away" "I think it is better to break a man's leg, than to break his heart". It is hard to use words to convey emotion, so just GO! Go See Seabiscuit.

We also went to Ghengis with the Talburt Kiddos- We being Nikki and I, and Taylor was there, but he made this really yucky ham, pineapple, chicken, honeymustard dish that looked and smelled so bad that I didn't want it near me, but I was civil and just pretended that it did not exist.

Be sure to visit "Annoy Me" -today's is a doozy.
