I CHALLENGE YOU TO WATCH THIS AND NOT CRY



it's so beautiful: the music, the lion, the dudes.
thanks to audrey, i cried helplessly about 4 times today, which is a lot more than usual.
if you are not crying right now, you have a stone for a heart. and i hate you.*
* not really. i don't hate you. i feel sorry for you, you stone-hearted shell of a human.

[2012 note - seems like the video has gone. it was the one with the lion Christian and the two dudes who raised him from a cub they bought in Harrods? in swinging London]

  2. I'm scared to watch it, given the INTENSE amount of pressure you've put on me that I either cry (which makes me half a man), or you will hate me for being a stone-hearted shell of a human.

    Which is better?

    I think I'll come back another day when I'm not so emotional about selling my fold-out couch on eBay, and watch the video then.

  3. it's ok, bevis. clokes above is a stone-hearted shell of a human and i'm married to him. i don't mind.

    incidentally i don't think my sister cried either.

    maybe it's just me?

  6. ok, moving on. it seems it's just me and princess who sob uncontrollably when we see this video. i showed it to her to cheer her up yesterday, because she was crying about some bear-abuse in japan she read about online.

    it didn't cheer her up, it made her cry more, but i think they were good tears and not really sad ones.

  7. I didn't quite cry, but I did feel myself starting to tear up a little.

    I would have connected with it more if I didn;t hate that Aerosmith song so much.

    Loved the lion and dudes.

  8. god it was the song that got me going, inc. not sure why, the lyrics i guess. it's just what i was thinking the lion was thinking, and the dudes as well.

    thanks for confessing to a tear-up.
