    Sorry BLR. I hope things somehow get better.

    I also think it's perfectly healthy to vent here. That's what this is for and many of us have kicked it here for years, like a messed up club or something.

    My mom is maybe the biggest Rocky fan I know. All the while growing up she would use Rocky as an example for why I should never give up. So for mother's day, back when Rocky Balboa was still in theaters, I took her to see it. I think it was her favorite mother's day gift ever. We both cried a lot watching it and I had already been through all those tears once already during it's opening weekend. This scene in particular really gets to me:

    Not sure how I should feel. Barring any changes, my wife and I had our one meeting with the attorney. Everything has been super amicable and has gone well. I'm completely in love with my new girlfriend.

     

    So why the fuck has today been so hard? All I can do is keep looking back at the last 7 years and think it was all a lie and aside from my daughter, I wish it could have all gone differently.

     

    I guess I can only use the lessons I learned during that failed marriage in my new relationship. Still sucks. I think I'm going to go cry for awhile.

    Warrior has been on my Netflix list forever and I still haven't watched it.

     

    Duuuuuuuuuuude. It's really fucking good. A little slow to start, but it's like Miracle in that the last 1/3 of the movie is just awesome. Nick Nolte puts on a clinic.

     

    And it's not embarrassing to cry during Rocky. Maybe Rocky V. Never Rocky or Rocky II. If you don't well up with tears during Rocky II when Adrian says to Rocky in the hospital, "Win!" after being so doubtful of Rocky fighting Creed again...

    The only crying story that comes to mind for me is when I saw 50/50 in the theatre with two female friends.  The part where JGL starts freaking out right when they're wheeling him in to surgery, all three of us started crying virtually at the same time.  I'm sure I just got hit with some sort of estrogen spillover.

     

     

    Jesus dude, when his voice cracks and he calls out "Mom?", I lost it hard. WHY HASN'T EVERYONE SEEN THIS MOVIE????

     

     

     

    I was going to say 50/50 also, but I figured that was that embarrassing. I cried during a few points and I'm tearing up now thinking about it. One of them being when Seth Rogen teaches him how to drive, but he crashes and just lets out the most primal scream. I would do the same. When he says "Mom..." though, oh God, I need to stop typing about it now.

     

    Oh, and Warrior counts right? Am I the only one who cries some manly tears when Joel Edgerton is telling Tom Hardy, "It's ok! I love you!" Dammit, I need to stop typing about that too. Don't want to leave the office looking like a mess.

     

    EDIT: What makes that scene even harder to watch without crying is that the National's "About Today" is playing over it. Here's the video...

    So, if we're going with embarrassing, I probably have a ton since I tear up or cry during movies all the goddamn time. One that immediately springs to mind was Miracle. The end of that movie, especially the credits, had me crying my eyes out.

     

    Rudy does that to me as well, but I'm not sure if that counts. I know plenty of folks who tear up during Rudy.

     

    I teared up at the end of X-Men: Days of Future Past when...

     

    Wolverine wakes up, heads downstairs and see the familiar head of flaming red hair. Then when that head turns around and Wolvie says, "Jean...?" I damn near lose it.

    I don't consider it embarassing, screw it. 

     

    I used to routinely cry at the end of "It's a Wonderful Life." Every time. Then I didn't anymore.

    I cried like a baby IN THE THEATER at the montage scene in "Up." Some asshole said "is someone crying?" and I nearly yelled "fuck you pal, it's my movie and I'll cry if I want to."

    I cried at the end of "Big Fish," which is one of the most awesome movies ever.

    I cried at the very end of "Monsters Inc."

     

    OK, maybe it's a bit embarassing.

    "Kitty"

     

     

    I may tear up if I continue thinking about that.

    I think you were taking a break before, but he got suspended for being a cock, the suspension was lifted and then he acted like an even bigger jerk the very day his suspension was lifted, earning him another suspension. Oh, and he went after odessa to get suspended that second time. I assume he was told to stop acting like a jerk and apparently that was too hard so now he's banned.

     

    By the way, goddammit to a bunch of stuff. I feel like my life is a whirlwind of good and bad. On the bad, my mom may have Parkinsons, but she's had a hell of a time walking for a long while now. Her car was also totaled when she was hit by a drunk driver. This happened months ago. I'm not even sure if she can drive again given how weak her legs have gotten. 

     

    To add to that, I may have to file for bankruptcy because of the credit card debt I racked up during the course of my marriage. Much of that was spent on gifts, vacations, dinners, etc. to make my soon to be ex-wife happy. None of it worked and now I'm stuck with the bill. I agreed to be responsible for those credit cards, rather than fight her for it. Unfortunately, that fucks me over for my chances of refinancing my home for at least two years, so the house, even though my wife is letting me keep it, stays in her name. It's all very unnerving.

     

    Throughout this divorce, I've gained back so much weight too. My ex moves out this weekend. Maybe that will help.

     

    Actually, I know it will help and I almost feel bad for venting because there is good in my life to balance things out. On the plus side, my ex and I aren't fighting and are staying friendly. My current girlfriend, who is moving in this weekend, is incredibly supportive. I wish I had been with her the entire time. We very close very fast. She's been what I'm missing in my life, unless she turns into a monster after she moves in. What's great about her is how much interest she's taken in my daughter and how it doesn't scare my girlfriend that my daughter has some sensory processing issues. And I have a roof over my head, so I got that going for me, which is nice.

    ....I did buy a 3DS the day after I bought that Wii U.... I'm really excited for Smash Bros.

     

    My son is insanely jealous of you right now

    I mean he has his 3DS and that is all well and good but all he wants for Xmas is a Wii U and it is solely so he doesn't miss anything about Smash Bros

     

     

    Just offer to buy Fresh's. I'm sure he'll be done with it by then.
