I'm watching a Native America movie about a young man learning about the past of his forefathers...
it's touching... sometimes a little over the top but still good..
it made me think about my forefathers... the men and women before me that brought me into this world... and... well.. i know little...
even my father... i know he worked very hard to bring up my sister and myself... but... i guess i know little after that...
sometimes i feel, for people of European decent, that learning about where your people came from is not that important...
all i know is that my great grand father came from Italy to find a better place for his immediate family... after that i have no clue what they were like... what they did for a living... what made them happy... why they woke up every day...
i guess i wouldn't mind to find out more... but sometimes it seems to be out of my reach... i should just go... go to Italy and find out about my namesake...
maybe i can learn something about myself...
i wonder if my father would want to come with me?
i should ask him

Thanks again.
Go to fucking Italy. You will not belive how it will change your life. Take you Dad. Listen to everything he has to tell you and look at everything he has to show you. The amount of knowedge you gain is more valuable than you could possibly realize.
A) Bitching about what other people picked (not you)
B) Trying to put down what other people picked to make them seem like they have a handle on what is good and what isn't. (ie: the guy who discredits Citizen Kane because there wasn't a lot of boobies or killing in it. etc.)
C) Would bitch no matter what was on that list. (And if they didn't do that, they would bitch about the grammar people use to express their feelings or something trivial, like that.)
Like you said, fuck'em. Keep up the good work. (It seems like it would be a lot.)
