Re: Jeremiah Kicks Some Ass

At the risk of revealing too much about my personal life - Ah, what the hell. You all know it anyway.

I first saw this movie when I was a little boy and it made such a HUGE impression on me, I wanted to be a mountain man when I grew up. Instead, I turned into a Public Servant. But I'd still like to be a mountain man.

Just the thought of living away from everyone. Living in nature and being free. That's all I've ever wanted.



"Ain't this somethin'? I told my pap and mam I was coming to mountains to trap and be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot. Says "Son, make your life go here, here's where the peoples is. Them mountains is for animals and savages." I says, "Mother Gue, the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world", and by God, I was right."

I've had a slightly difficult late afternoon today. Yet, somehow, my love helps. :heart: It's the Power of Love! :D :lol:

It was a big hit, perhaps even a #1 song back then.

Boo loves this song too. Ever since I played it to him, he's wanted to be a Mountain Cat:

GOD, I'm dying to see the Rockies. I hope I get there before I die!

Cats can adapt pretty well to the mountains.

I think I can get along with most cats who have a hint of sociality. All I have to do is let a cat lick me. They're hooked then!

He trusts me so much Kraftie. He even lets me hold his back feet and kiss him on the tummy and that's VERY RARE for a cat. Especially for one who came from such disturbing origins. Mistreated, didn't trust anyone, extremely aggressive to THE MAX!

Now, he sleeps with his tummy exposed - I can walk up to him, step over him and kiss him on the tummy and he doesn't even stir.

Interspecial love and trust - That's what I'm into!! !

I should show Jeremiah Johnson (the movie) to Boo. I think he'd like that!

About the same time I was into Jeremiah Johnson and CB radios, I also wanted to become a monk (after a field trip to the Cloisters in Upper Manhattan).

Yep - I'm with you on that as well. I wanted to be a hermit and become very spiritual!

We're very similar in a lot of ways Kraftie!

I remember, in my 30's, I read about the Irish monasteries which overlooked the sea.

I wanted nothing more than to sleep on a slab rock, overlooking the sea. Or, if cold, in a cell which overlooked the sea.

The European monasteries are, probably, what preserved "advanced" ideas in an age which disdained them.
