The Presedential Election
Just curious, who are you guys Voting for?I'm a Democrat, or as the republicans at my work call me- i'm just a "hippy".
I am for gay marriage, legalization of marijuana, and am really concerned about our economy and most importantly our environment..
I know that everyone has opinions (which are like assholes in most cases) but I am amazed at all the McCain/Palin supporters..
So, who are you voting for?
Happy Birthday Jim Morrison
Today would have been Jim Morrison’s 64th Birthday, and it’s been 36 years since he passed.He was only 27 when he died, younger than me ! I could not imagine living such a short life. In his short 27 years he’s managed to stay remembered for generations. He remains a part of my daily life. He's been gone, longer than i've been alive and he's made such a huge impact on my life.
I hope everyone can take a quick second today to remember a man that died to young, and that was very talented (and beautiful). He’s a Sagittarius (the most philosophical of all the signs )
Spread the Word ! He deserves to be remembered for more than just sex, drugs and rock n’ roll. He was SO much more than that. (Read some of his poetry)
With Love,
Dana

GRIZZLY MAN
anyone watch the documentary about Timothy Treadwell over the weekend ? I love Bears, specifically Grizzly Bears and I found this story both angering me, and making me feel sorry for Timothy Treadwell.Here is a little bit about this story :
"Grizzly Man" is a disturbing and wickedly funny documentary about an odd young man who wanted to be a kind of patron saint for animals. He went off to live with bears in Alaska every summer, and became a minor celebrity. It all ended in 2003 when one of the bears ate him and his girlfriend.
A huge part of the appeal of "Grizzly Man" is its fascinating subject. Treadwell was a madman, would be messiah, a noble animal right’s advocate, and a misanthrope.
He was a failed actor and alcoholic surfer, then he decided to recreate himself. He changed his name to Timothy Treadwell, and made up a strange fake accent, which combined California and Kennedy-like pronunciations of words.
He decided that his purpose in life was to bridge the gap between human and bear culture, and he joined a bear tribe.
Timothy made up goofy names for some of the dangerous 800-900 pound beasts like Mr. Chocolate and Aunt Melissa. He interacted with the bears on film. He often talked to them as if they were guests on a children’s show, and he was the goofy host. If a bear did something wrong, he would scold it and say, "I love you."
He eventually began to identify more with grizzlies than humans, and he convinced himself he was staying there to protect them from poachers, but it was clear that he had lost his grip on reality.
He stayed with the bears for 13 summers until one of the grizzlies devoured him and his girlfriend. He constantly taped himself, and an audiotape of his actual death was found, but the director deemed it too horrific to use in the film.
"Grizzly Man" refuses to anthropomorphize the bears. Timothy Treadwell’s great flaw was that he failed to appreciate the bear’s savage power and their capacity for violence.
Treadwell’s directing talent was minimal, but he shot some extraordinary footage¾ some was accidental. During one of his shoots, a pair of foxes ran up to him and one of them stole his hat. The film contains a devastating battle between two male grizzlies over a female, which leaves huge tufts of hair everywhere.
Treadwell breaks down and rails against God like a lunatic in one sequence. He begs God to send rain so that the starving bears can feast on salmon.
"Grizzly Man" may not get the best distribution but it is well worth seeking out. In comparison, most other nature documentaries (even good ones such as "March of the Penguins") seem somewhat silly or overly sentimental

anyways, loving bears as much as I do, this story fascinates me and angers me at the same time.. Did Timothy do more harm than good ? I'm interested in your opinions..
