What (if anything) really moves you?

[WuDrWu]

Since my days as a child (loooooooong ago) I've never been very good at hiding my emotions.

You probably wouldn't want to stand next to me on Senior night. You certainly wouldn't want to sit next to me watching the documentary of 9/11. At times it can be depressing watching me go through the gauntlet of emotions.

What moves you?

What event moves you to the brink of tears? What feelings almost scare you at the thought of not being able to control them?

Sports or not......speak your mind, but especially what's in your heart?

Last year's basketball season...

Something was moving (more than usual) inside me and it wasn't tears...

Perhaps my bowels?

Sometimes I like to treat myself to a #4 (Mexican Pizza with 2 Taco Supremes) at Taco Bell and request a jumbo order of jalepenos and fire sauce. Then I head over to Braums and get a double dip hot fudge sundae.
This is where we get to what moves me and brings me to tears.
Being a bit lactose intollerant, it is not long before those jalepenos are ready to make a hastey emergency exit. The best way I can describe it is like this, imagine yourself pooping out napalm. :shock:
Yes that movement does bring me to tears.

random acts of kindness.
Seeing the underdog finally comeover the top.
Abstrakt from 1:40 to 2:00 in this video is enough to leave your mouth gaping

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_FG1rV2EHA - This clip I always watch to remind me of the creativity of man. What once was to what is now. I call it Evolution but knowing that we as man can take one thing and completly evolve it while keeping the original flavor of something and just blow it out is so awesome to me. Also not to mention im in the clip you can see me in the background @ the 3:51 mark with a sleevless orange tee on :D

well Doc, if you want the truth....Little House on the prairie.....I always wanted family and friends to feel about me like they did Pa on that show....I know it sounds corny, but you ask and I think you deserve a real answer.

P.S. I always get emotional when the underdog wins, be it sports or life.

Some documentaries and movies do it for me.

I guess Brian's Song would be one movie.

Speech from "Brian's Song"

[WuDrWu]

Brian's Song is practically unwatchable....I was thinking about that when I started this thread.

Steve, I didn't think about LH but I totally agree....well done!


Keep 'em comin'.......

Tears aren't my thing except for the occasional misty eyes during the funeral of a friend. Most recently with the death of a former colleague on his 4th tour with the same ODA and seeing his wife & unborn child go through such pain. RIP Bear. After that it's simple "Truth, Justice, and the American Way".

In Orbe Terrum Non Visi

[RoyalShock]

Music drums up my emotions, particularly praise and worship songs.

A sermon that hits me right where I live.

The Passion of the Christ, both the movie and the remembrance.

Movies that depicts very painful family situations, like parents losing a child, or loss of a spouse.

This is at the top of my list...

"I was never gonna get off that island. I was gonna die there, totally alone. I was gonna get sick, or get injured or something. The only choice I had, the only thing I could control was when, and how, and where it was going to happen. So... I made a rope and I went up to the summit, to hang myself. I had to test it, you know? Of course. You know me. And the weight of the log, snapped the limb of the tree, so I-I - , I couldn't even kill myself the way I wanted to. I had power over *nothing*. And that's when this feeling came over me like a warm blanket. I knew, somehow, that I had to stay alive. Somehow. I had to keep breathing. Even though there was no reason to hope. And all my logic said that I would never see this place again. So that's what I did. I stayed alive. I kept breathing. And one day my logic was proven all wrong because the tide came in, and gave me a sail. And now, here I am. I'm back. In Memphis, talking to you. I have ice in my glass... And I've lost her all over again. I'm so sad that I don't have Kelly. But I'm so grateful that she was with me on that island. And I know what I have to do now. I gotta keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?"

Music - I'll get completely lost in it.

The love of God even when we don't deserve it.


And I still go through a bevy of emotions from this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=614gBkR1Y8A. The nervous twitches, heart in my throat, the hope that seemed all too dim just moments before flickering in the waning seconds, the initial gasps of joy, followed by a moment of dread as Dozier's half-court heave went up, and then all out celebration.
