I have to give a shout out to the man from my all time favorite movie ... Dirty Dancing. .jpg)
I have probably scene the movie well over a hundred times.... and I will probably watch it a hundred more!
Dirty Dancing, Best movie ever!
I couldn't leave out another movie of Mr. Swayze's... Ghost. The romantic pottery scene....
My favorite line "Molly, you in danger girl"....
RIP Patrick Swayze!
So, Dry is about Augusten Burroughs' addictions as an adult and A Wolf at the Table is about his childhood. There is another one by Mr. Burroughs called Running with Scissors: A Memoir, which is about when his mother gave him away to her psychiatrist. Needless to say, this man has had quite an unordinary life. Anyway, A Wolf at the Table was a very difficult for me. Difficult to hear about the terrible childhood he had. If you plan to read the book stop reading hear... but if you don't plan on it proceed.... Augusten tells a story about when he was about 6 and his entire life he would ask his father to hold him and he would say "Not now" or "I'm tired", etc. So Augusten decided to do a scientific test to he just how often his father turns him down, turns out everytime. Craving the attention of his father, he takes a shirt of his father and stuffs it with a pillow and cuddles the stuffed shirt. This story completely broke my heart.
This is me in the bottom middle... the pink one on the left...
I love you more than words can wield the matter. Dearer than eye-sight, space, and liberty; beyond what can be valued, rich, or rare. No less than life, with grace, health, beauty, honour; As much as child e'er loved, or father found; A love that makes breath poor, and speech unable; Beyond all manner of so much, I love you.
Shakespeare, King Lear
