A Farewell to Barbaro

I have just found out that Barbaro had to be put to sleep. He could not bear any weight on his injured leg. Barbaro was a magnificent animal and he will always be in our hearts. Rest in Peace.

Another Movie...

I know you are so tired of hearing about my movie viewing, but I watched a really good movie with Mom. It's called Love Actually. It is the best chick flick I have ever seen. What do you think it is about? You guessed it, It's people falling in love. It satisfied my happy ending craving. Also, you have to love a movie with Alan Rickman in it. I had an image of him in my head as Professor Snape(Harry Potter) but this showed me how versatile an actor he is. The only downside in the movie was that Keira Knightly was in it. I despise her. I think she is greatly annoying and waaaay too skinny. But, I still loved this movie. It was a lot better with skittles. :)

It reminded me a lot of the movie, Crash. The characters lives all intertwined with each other and there was a lot of conflict.

Well, I have now fallen off Rain four times. I was re-getting on to walk around outside and she bucked and I fell off. Then she took off galloping to her field. Damn pony. I still love her, but she sure love to be bad for me. She is perfect for her owner. Go figure.

My lesson was awesome. I got to ride Stella. She is a blast. We were going so fast to those jumps. I can't wait to ride her again.

My school barn work went great. I didn't get stuck in the mudshit either.

Bowling for Columbine

This morning I watched Bowling for Columbine with my brother. It's a documentary about guns and violence in America. It was fascinating. It mentioned two school shootings and it showed how easy it is to get your hands on a gun. Did you know that the United States has the highest murder rate than any other country? It was completely moving. It also makes you think about how messed up people can be. I mean, I don't think that the U.S. is quite the golden country we say it is. It also made me realize how politically oblivious I am. I did not know that the United States originally helped Saddam Hussein and bought him weapons. This movie was a real eye opener for me. I highly recomend it.

Crash

This morning I watched the movie Crash. It's about different people living their life with racial prejudices. I liked how all of the people's lives intertwined with each other. At some part in the movie most of the people had a conflict with one person. It had a lot of very good actors in it. For example, I thought Terrence Howard did a great job playing Cameron. Matt Dillon played a very unlikable caracter in the begining but towards the end I found him growing on me. There were some rough parts in the movie. The were some moments when I cried my eyes out and also cringed. It disturbed me a lot that racisim is still very real and very strong in some parts of the United States. I would very much recomend this movie. I thought is was great and it left a lasting impression on me. I don't think I will ever forget it.
