I set up Google Alerts to notify me anytime the search engine runs across the name "RandomPokes." In that way, I learn about places that are linking or referring to my commercial site or to this blog.
Today, I was informed about a bulletin board post by "RandomPokes" in a discussion of the movie "Brokeback Mountain." If my parents stumbled across this (or, heaven forbid, my coworkers or any number of United Brethren ministers and laypersons), they might be a bit concerned. Here's what I found, amidst a rather long discussion of the film:
Post by RandomPokes on Mar 30, 2007, 8:31pmSo, Mom and Dad--I've not seen the movie, and if I did, I doubt that I would have cried at the end.A close friend of mine recommended the film awhile back so yeah I've seen it. It was alright but the first romantic scene was way too sudden and graphic. A kiss would've just worked out first jeez...
Heh I had to pause the movie every five minutes to make sure my dad wasn't listening in. (he's homophobic, but knows my best friend is gay >_>)
I did cry at the end, however, so it was still good good movie imo.
Career-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
