What makes you cry?

[Hilder420]

I dont make what Im feeling a mystery, if Im happy, you will know it. If Im pissed, trust, Ill let you know. If Im sad, i usually hide it behind a stoic expression and vague responses.. I cant cry in front of people, with all the shit thats happened to me, I've learned to control how much emotion I let out.. most of the time if i feel the need to cry, you will see one tear.. not a word or even a sob. I've mastered the art of swallowing my tears so to speak. Yet i can also cry on command, which has come in handy a couple of times..

I'm generally a happy person.. I laugh alot, always making observations and making funny or smartass yet still funny comments about everything around me.. If youre with me, You will most likely laugh the entire time. Especially if theres is or has been weed involved.. Theres always the time when something I see or hear triggers the urge to cry.. for example, seeing a hurt animal, the old Zales commercial music before they changed it to stupid Vanessa Carlton.. Seeing or hearing about another young american dying a senseless death.. The Star Spangled Banner.. hahaha yes, i know its stupid.. someone, especially men ask "is it food yet?" when asking if whatever meal Im preparing is done yet.. long story behind that..
What triggers the urge to cry for you? No flaming.. please.. Who's man enough to admit why they cry?!?

[stinkyattic]

I rarely, if ever, cry out of sadness. But I cry from frustration. When things in my life that should be working simply refuse to do so, I have a hard time with that.
When the man I love did the right thing by himself and his family and moved back to Alaska, I cried not from sadness, but from frustration that the 'right thing' meant that two people who love each other may never meet again.
When my dog died of lymphoma at only 5 years old, I cried out of anger that she was so young and was only just starting to blossom into a really great dog after I had spent the previous 2 years working her through issues from having been starved and beaten by her previous owner, and she had such a short time to be a cool, relaxed, housepet.
That's what makes me cry.

[Hilder420]

First, Id like to say that Im very sorry to hear about The Tess. But, at least she died with a mommy who loved her very much and no doubt was at her happiest to have found a caring soul to finish out her journey on this earth. Remember that all dogs go to heaven and she is now at the happiest she has ever been.. I also saw that the animal Gods have blessed you with another beautiful soul. Congratulations.
I hate it than when I get super mad, I cry. I want to yell scream, stomp, throw shit, punch someone or at least a wall, which I learned is not cool for my hand. yet all I can do is cry.. which pisses me off even more. frustration makes me destroy objects.. like breaking stuff.. im trying to stop that..

[stinkyattic]

There is a hole in the drywall of my bedroom wall from a day when I was very frustrated to have come home from a 14 hour work day to find that my unemployed boyfriend of the moment had failed to do the ONE thing I had asked of him that day, which was to take out the recycling for trash day. I had 7 hours to shower, sleep, wake up, and drive to work for my 8am shift at the lab... My knuckles didn't feel so hot afterwards, but better the wall than his nose. Frustration is the emotion that I am most afraid of because it is the only thing that causes me to lose my cool.

[fasterspider]

Agonizing physical pain makes me moan and whimper like a little kid but crying does not happen anymore.
I am a man, tears are for women to use as a weapon against us.:D

[friendowl]

sometimes when im stoned i will look at my kids
and then start thinking some awful shit
like i might picture my son getting hit by a car
or my daughter dying in the mountains...just crazy shit
my eyes get all waterty and i feel like hugging them

some movies get me all emotional
i try and hold it back or look up so tears dont fall
even some kids cartoons are sad ....i think its cuz im high and i get carried away
its fun though

but for serious matters i wont shed a tear

[killerweed420]

Sitting in a chair getting ready to fire up a bowl and getting in such a hurry I knock it over and spill all my weed on the floor. That'll make me cry every time. Or if I have already smoked a little and knock it over I laugh my ass off.:D

[scagster]

onions. for sure.

[FakeBoobsRule]

Running out of weed......and the movie Saving Private Ryan...misplacing weed but then I find it and I cheer...

[xxMJAHxx]

I tend to always think too much, or analyze situations or life in general, and i often get messed up. Confusion is one of the things that makes me cry the most, when too many questions are left with no answers...
Also i'm scared of death. Not of dying myself of course, but of seeing all the older people i love die over the course of my life. I haven't lost much people yet, but my father is like reaaaaaaaaally sick, doing experiments to cure leukemia at the final stage, with 2yrs of life remaining max, and 50% chance of failure. And when i see my grandparents who were in huge families saying they dont even have 1 brother or sister left out of 15, and even their friends, it makes me think how life must suck when you're alone..its just sad..
Hah and i just realized thinking too much about death creates confusion also, how everything's linked eh..

[dominionxp]

Everytime ET goes home.

HAHAHAH

[LIP]

I was brought up with the mentality that crying is a waste of time and energy. I've only cried a handful of times in my life. Once when i was 10, and once recently when my friend was diagnosed with MS. That was through shock though.

I still get sad - i still feel pain [although since my back trouble my pain threshold is through the roof - i nearly cut my thumb off a few months back and i laughed and didnt bother going to hospital untill i nearly passed out from blood loss.] but i just dont cry.

I dont know weather thats a good thing or not.

[TX Girl]

I don't boo hoo cry too often, but I do tear up a lot. Oh lets see, I can get all teary eyed at silly things such as Extreme Makeover Home Edition, and countless movies to real things like thinking of something unspeakable happening to my family.

Stinky and Hilder- I feel yall for sure. I cry out of frustration more than real sadness and I don't outright break things, but I am a thrower which winds up in some broken things. I cry and then I throw. It helps, god knows why, but it does.

[birdgirl73]

I do cry easily. I tear up practically two or three times a week just watching the news or during conversations about various things w/ my friends. These are the things that can make me cry if they hit me at the right time:

When I see or hear about violence against babies or children
When I see or hear about violence against domestic animals or other inhumane treatment of them
When I see or hear about extreme pain or violence between domestic partners, at least under several circumstances. I volunteer in this area, so I see a lot of it and am a lot less sensitive about it than I used to be.
When I hear hatred and racism, which are the same thing, and when I see terrible poverty
When I look at my enormous son and think that he was once just a little infant baby boy and now look at him. Where did the time go? (I teared up as I wrote that.)
When I miss my sister or hear of anyone having to suffer through cancer or painful terminal illnesses. I cried last year when Geonagual was going through the loss of his mom. (I teared up as I wrote that.)
When I think about past pets who've had to be put to sleep.
When I think about the fact that my parents are getting older and frail and won't be around forever, particularly my mom.
When I think about two of my now deceased grandparents who I was particularly close to or when I think about the pregnancies I miscarried and wanted so badly to be able to successfully carry to term.
I will cry like a baby this May when my son graduates college. He's already bracing his friends for it.

I'm not constantly sitting around in a weepy puddle about these things, but when something catches me on a deep emotional level, I'll cry about it and not just let the emotion go unexpressed. I need to get mad more of the time than I do. Several of the things up above get me mad, too, like hatred and racism and violence against children/animals/domestic partners, and I need to express it more as anger than I do.

Lest y'all term me a basket case, I'll add that I cry for joy a whole lot, too. And I laugh way more than I cry.

[geonagual]

I got teary eyed when I read birdgirls post
I tear up during certain points in movies
I dont really outright cry
I have whimpered in harsh situations to

[birdgirl73]

I just got all teary eyed thinking about how much I adore you, Geo, after I read your post!

[nolanfortwenty]

movies ( the pursuit of happiness for instance ) make me tear up, and when alot of pressure is put on me i usually get teary eyed for some reason

[birdgirl73]

Movies get me, too, Nolan420. I've been putting off "The Pursuit of Happyness" because I know it'll get me.

I had to put my face in my hands and sob briefly after the movie "Atonement," which is out now. It was the idea of war and thwarted love and unreconciled grief.

[Purple Banana]

When someone is so unhappy, and the only way to help is for them to realize they need help, and they don't.

[crudemood]

ahh mostly stress.
this thread is so endearing.. hehe

[Innominate]

I cry because I can't be the person many people have expected me to be.

[Hilder420]

Isnt it? BG and Geo's posts made me choke up a little..LOL. that post up there "every time ET goes home" made me laugh for awhile.. friendowls post is heartwrenching, stinky, we on the same river, diffrent boat. wow, i didnt think this threat would turn out be so nice...seem this is why I love this place. I miss yall.. Ive tried to move on, but this place is comfortable for me. I just cant stay away.. its become home, and yall have become my friends.. aww hell, now I feel like crying..

[evilkorn]

Personal tragedies aside like the loss of a friend or loved one I would have to say...

Music. Damn Billy Joel singing Piano Man gets me every time. My room mate can always tell how I'm feeling because of the type of music I listen to while toking. Or when something happens to someone who makes the music I listen to. Dime dieing was hard just because I have been listening to Pantera since I was 10. Layne dieing was also hard. Kurt and Bradly Nowell, more so Brad because I had some older brothers of my friends who were really into them.

As you can see I have a very music centered life, too bad I can't play an instrument to save my life. I really don't see it as a bad thing, but I'm always the guy that people as when they want to know the name or artist of the song. As long as it's rock I can pretty much name them all when I listen to them.

[TheLust]

Dogs in pain always made me cry. Especially Fry's Dog in Futurama and the old dog in Homeward Bound. :(

[DAY-DREAMER-MAN]

i cant cry dont no why:wtf:

[Reefer Rogue]

Lonliness, constant rejection can break me down sometimes. Listening to Neil young really high in the dark can be quite emotional, its brought tears to my eyes before. Though i was thinkin about my ex when listening. Oh yeah, extreme physical pain. ouch

[WeedyBoyWonder]

Standing at my brothers grave for a while gives me that really bad lump in my throat.
I've seen a movie that made my eyes "well up", but it is a emotional story. Dead Mans Shoes, my favorite movie.
Other than that, I guess being psychically in pain, specifically cut and bleeding.

This made me tear up yet again (no big surprise there).

I've felt like crying these last few weeks seeing much-loved, long-term members feel like they had to leave. That's very hard on people like me, who love you guys as my friends on a very deep level. So Hilder, nothing made me want to weep from joy more than your post above.

If there were one message I could send to the folks in our wonderful "circle" here, it'd be this: Try to roll with the punches. Why not wait and see what happens? Realize that even if the forum takes a slightly different priority direction, we'll still have plenty of social interaction, which we thrive on. Medical cannabis may increasingly hold the top spot, but a lounge where folks can talk like this will likely always be a part of the place somewhere, and that's a necessity.

To be effective ambassadors for cannabis, we above all need to come together and form a bond that strengthens our resolve. It's our social interaction that allows us to do that and affirms our recognition that cannabis lovers are deeply and truly nice, smart, fun people. I really love how this main lounge has had a resurgence of fun, provocative threads that bond us because that's exactly what we need to do right now to feel comfortable amidst all this change.

OK, now I'm crying again. Thank you all for participating in this thread. It's been a great read.

[stinkyattic]

Listening to Neil young really high in the dark can be quite emotional, its brought tears to my eyes before.
Every time I hear Southern Cross I get choked up from the power of the words. Same with Bob Seger's 'Roll me Away'. I guess it's pretty emotional to hear anyone talking candidly about choosing to just walk away from whatever it was that they were comfortable in their lives. Those two songs just get me every time. It's the frustration over the futility of the path you're on that does it.

[cheeto]

i cry easily, very easily, normaly i can rate a movie by the number of times i cried in it. (lion the witch and the wardrobe got 12). i cry when childrens dreams are snuffed out and i cry when people hate something they dont understand.

i cry a lot.

but for now, i cry over why people need to tell me what i can and can not do to my own body.

its my choice.
not theirs, but for now, my body belongs to the government.

[Purple Banana]

This isn't mocking in any way shape or form, but I volunteer at a special needs school for Downs syndrome and autistic kids, and they had a chorus concert a few weeks ago. They sung Dust In The Wind, and it made me cry :(


That episode where Homer eats Fugu (pufferfish) and is expected to die makes me cry- when Marge wakes up, and finds him in the chair...

And that episode of Futurama with Fry's dog, Seymour gets me, too.

Yes, Thank you all for participating and making this a thread I am proud to have started.
I dont have a problem with the site taking a diffrent direction and focusing on the medical aspect of marijuana. I believe it is a step in a positive direction, and I hope it becomes a contributing factor in the legalization of the plant we all love. I understand that we have no say in the direction that the owner wants to take his site, it is after all his to do with as he pleases. However, there was no explanation, not even a warning. when we asked, the mods appeased us by saying that it was being tweaked to make it better, but, at least I didnt expect for it to become what it has. It is still a quality site with quality members and information, but once the changes came into play, the atmosphere and the feedback we got gave off the impression that we, recreational users were no longer welcome here. every question was met with a slam or a threat of a ban. the whining did get out of hand, gotta hand yall that. toward the end i got tired of reading about it too. it was a hostile place for a bit there, and that is not what I came here for. This site holds some of the smartest, most compassionate, warm people I've come across in a while and I will alway remember everyone I interact with regularly fondly. I dont think I can leave. Even if its not what it used to be and I miss the sexuality forum the most.. lol.. I had some laughs there.. I wish I our Virtual Circle could be a real circle.. Id love to blaze with yall.. I've met a few people from the site and met a couple who were really cool and still see regularly.. but most of yall are far away.. :(

Birdgirl and Hilder..STOP IT!

My eyes are welling up

Not getting lucky:kisslove:. Well, I don't know, I'm old and wore out, getting lucky would not only be a miracle, it might kill me:jawdropper:.
No, I know, quit playin, get serious. OK. A headache, the kind that doesn't make you think your head is going to explode, it makes you think it already did, and the flies got in and maggots were eating your brain:beatdeadhorse::yippee::chainsaw:. For day, after day, after day. AAAAHHHH CRAP I better stop. Boy when I get serious, I get serious. Well, that stuff, and any other desasterous crap that can happen in life. That stuff will make me break down , and cry like a baby, fall on the ground, going into convulshuns, and other realy scarry shit. Sad movies, Phenomenon, Love Story, Bryans Song. Sad stories, Terms of Endearment. Sad songs, The Living years. These things have drawn a tear from my eye, these are the tears you are looking for.

and that episode of futurama too and it talked about fry's brother, what really happened after fry dissapeared

[birdgirl73]

Thanks for your post above, Hilder. I definitely hear you on what your concerns were/are. They're perfectly valid, too.

I'm sorry that I had been so busy with the end of my school term and the holidays that I didn't have time to do more up-front communicating about what was going on from the very start with the site. I felt very concerned with some of the angry shut-down/brick wall responses that were being issued, too, and I know that was upsetting for you guys, who were seeing less messaging from the site about the new direction than we mods were. When I finally stepped out of med school mode and looked at the situation from the perspective of my former career--I spent nearly 20 years doing marketing, communications and public relations for a huge high-tech company--I realized that we needed to start splainin'. Fast.

Under ideal circumstances, we should have done that from day one, but business communications and PR are rarely done under ideal circumstances, which would be in advance of changes and then regularly as changes occur. They're more often done under reactionary circumstances, after a change or crisis has already begun. With the first approach--honest communications before crises or corporate transformations become widely visible--PR folks can pro-actively manage the messages and help influence public reaction. With the second approach, the messages instead manage us and public opinion is already firmly entrenched before anyone hears any truthful communications.

I'm going to work hard to see that you guys receive more information about what's going on. I've shared my concerns about the brick wall responses with my colleagues on the mod squad, and I've been doing my level best to explain as much as I can when I have the opportunity and when questions from members arise. That's not always easy. In corporate PR, professionals have to answer the same questions over and over again until the word gets out widely. That involves lots of time and lots of repetition. We'll have to do that, too, but that's not as easy for the mods who tend to have a shorter fuse and who have a different style of responding to inquiries anyway. With time and exposure to the idea of being straightforward or honest and accentuating the positive instead of slamming doors, I think you'll begin to see fewer slammed doors. I certainly hope so. The what-the-heck-are-you-asking-this-for/stop-your-whining/thread-deletion response doesn't contribute to the long-term building of a site whose fundamental essence needs to be friendly communications among members. (If we're ever going to get anywhere as a group with cannabis advancement, we need to start with a solid bond between ourselves.)

OK, enough of that long-winded explanation. I got off on a PR tangent. Thank you for your honest input and courteous words, Hilder. I promise you that I'll be making every effort to help restore the nice feeling to our interactions here. I'm very glad you're still here with us.
I'm very glad you all are.

[GrinS]

I don't think I have ever cried in pain, however, I think I'm the most emotional person when it comes to A: movies. B: talking about passionate things.

Ive cried in:
The Green Mile
Powder (like 2 times)
Passion of the Christ (I'm atheist however, I grew up worshiping this "man" and that movie completely owned me)
Saving Private Ryan
Braveheart (like 3 times)
Probably Titanic
Simon Birch
and probably numerous others.

And I've actually started to get emotional (tear up) on 3 different occasions while talking to my family about Ron Paul. I get so into his message of freedom and just lose it.......

however I didn't shed a tear when my uncle passed, bro tried to kill himself, or when my pets die.....

[Hilder420]

Thanks Birdie, youre pretty awesome yourself..
I think thats something we all needed to hear. At least those of us who come here regularlywith good intentions, honesty and looking to interact with fellow minded people. There were those who just came to start trouble, and those people were dealt with accordingly. I mean I appreciated and had a few good laughs at the wit and swiftness of some of the responses from the mods, but there were quite a few which werent even directed towards me that hurt just by reading. I posted one of the first threads in the feedback forum asking what was going on and Stinky responded as usual, very nicely. I havent experienced anything but positive interaction with all the mods during my stay here, so its not personal. Then people started getting annoying and stupid, and thats when it got ugly along with all the 60 others that were just plain annoying. I dont feel like you owed us any explanation of the changes the site is going through, merely a this is what going to happen, these are the changes in play, and these are the new rules. in the beginning we didnt even get that. ANYWAY, all is forgiven and forgotten, now lets move on and have some fun!

I remembered something else that makes me cry. Three legged animals and homeless puppies.
Drat!!! now that im not leaving I have to change my sig.. anyone remember what it was? Lol.. too many highs ago, I cant remember.. lol

[geonagual]

I laugh at 3 legged animals...

j/k..don't kill me again, I just woke up

ROFLMFAO.. way to remain optimistic!!! my cousin chipped a tooth while jumping off of something and one of his front teeth kinda split at an angle to where it was perfect to hold a joint without lip (no pun intended.. although funny) support at all.. he called it his personal permanent roach clip. we named it chippy.. yes, we were blowed..

[FoTwenny]

When my pets die. Dying people hardly phase me (I haven't lost spouse or child), but even when our cat whose guts I hated died, I cried a little.

[Trip06]

My dad is the biggest softy ever. He cries during just about every movie where something remotely emotional goes on. OMG I laugh all the time. Sometimes I think I have 2 moms.

[Chriffles]

I cried when all of my hamsters died. I was was killing them off like crazy though. One would die a week and the next day my dad would bring me a new one. And they always died from wet tail or something. Stupid Petco. I cried every time though. xD I was like 16.

[Spellbound]

Aside from the usual terrible events that happen...

Seeing men break down the social walls and let loose a few tears always gets me.
Also, seeing children and spouses reunited with their moms and dads who have been serving over seas never fails to make me bawl. (Especially when you see soldiers crying. Or a dad who is just meeting his child because he was away...)I feel so warmed, angered, and cathartic all at once. It's amazing. *sniffles*

[DAY-DREAMER-MAN]

love stories make me cry:D;)

[Nathan604]

not being near my family that iv always had around in my life, grandma aunt etc.

[BrendanGrady]

Don't really cry - but songs that relate to my life that are about old times or things changin, just the lyrics relate straight to what you are dealing with or what you have been through - always get to me. Sad that really the only time I cry is when I'm drunk/high as fuck listening to rap by myself in the middle of the night... I am so pathetic HAHAHAHA

[TimidK]

I always get a little choked up from saying good-byes at airports haha I don't know why. Also the ending of 3:10 to Yuma made me feel low...

[slavetopot]

My last good cry, was in Egypt, met my husband there, we had to do some paper work in Cairo, he had to fly back to Kuwait for some big work thing and I am stuck in Egypt for two days. Now if I am with someone who speaks great Arabic, it is great, if not, things for me go south. I call this person, who I should not have ever called, :error: won't go in to details, I miss my flight, not sure if I will be able to afford the 200 dollars to get another ticket, since that was what they charge. Just a long awful story, but let me tell you, after being up for over 24 hours and trying to speak Arabic, when my only words are hello, I WAS CRYING LIKE A BABY!!!!!!!! I mean CRYING BAD!!!!!!!!!! Oh and as an added bonus, I hadn't smoked any weed in over a week, and I am a daily 24/7 smoker, so I was on the edge. :giggity:

[Rose2Smoke]

I cry when somebody i love is in emotional pain, seeing my mother cry after my dad died, and sometimes still. I don't know why everytime i see a movie about the death of Jesus..I cry..:wtf:My best wishes to all of you

When I was a kid, being said or in pain made me cry.

Now usually anger or laughter makes me cry. Not anger at a person, but angry at how fucked up the world is, how people are willing to sacrifice the lives of others to 'earn" some pieces of paper, a kind of sad anger. And if I life really hard, I will cry. I don't usually cry from sadness, i just smoke weed, and write some shit.

[ghosty]

Lots of things when I was little, these days not much... However I was kinda drunk and high once, and I was home all alone. I had the stereo cranked and had been listening to the Portishead live album. I stepped out to smoke a bowl and I came back in and the song "Sour Times" started up, i was so high, and the song was so moving and powerful that by the end there were a few tears running down my cheek hahaha.:D

[jimmy8778]

fustration/stress, it just really bugs me, and really only when i talk to my father, who always seems to find the negative that happens in every situation, and feels as though ive done nothing right since ive graduated 8 months ago.

and spellbound i agree with the soldiers and their kids thing, the last thing that was not something that happened to me and made me cry was when a soldier got back from Iraq and went to visit his kid who was like 5 in school and the kid didnt know that his dad had come back, it was possibly the first time ive cried for the fact that something like that had happened, and thinking about his sons reaction when he saw his dad still makes my eyes tear up a little

For me, Portishead's All Mine and Mysterons make me cry. Cause it speaks the truth about the situation im in right now. Last time I was druhigh I cried sitting at the bar cause I remember how much I love my sister and how good she is to me. Now the song Sour Times makes me laugh cause its my moms theme song cause nobody loves her, Its true.. lol

[beachguy in thongs]

I cried, at the age of twenty-one, when my seventeen year-old cat died.

[geonagual]

I cried almost everyday till I was 11...then the tears dried and it has only been a few times since...

one thing that does give me a tear in my eye are sporting events..for some reason the excitement and the roar of the crowd makes me weepy. lol
also, I remember when my first daughter was born, I had a little moment when I first heard her cry.

[Markass]

To be honest, I can be emotional at random times...But recently mostly when I saw the documentary 'In Pot We Trust,' seeing videos of Ron Paul speaking of how he would change this country if he were elected president..

And moreso than any, seeing videos of the war, reading the newspaper and seeing the amount of young men and women lost..The amount of families and children left behind because of this...stupid war..

[stinkyattic]

Thai food makes me cry.

TWICE.

[Hilder420]

ROFLMFAO.. Made me spit out my coke... all over the screen...

[LIP]

Thai food makes me cry.

TWICE.


Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!! Best quote of 2008!!!! :D:D:D:D

:rastasmoke:

I hope you had a lovely new year stinky - and Emily, and P4B and FBR.

[marijuanavillebilly]

when my great grandmother died.....i never had the chance to say good bye.

i try not to cry, but i only do when i see things happening to REAL people right in front of me.

i was in florida, and i saw this homeless man so i bought him like 25 dollars worth of wendys.
he looked at me and just smiled, he said he hadnt eatn' in 2 or 3 days, i sat down and talked to him he told me he wasnt always homeless he had a family 2 boys and a wife.
his one boy got cancer and the man did all he could to help his son, but he still died.
his other son went to war and died he was still MIA then he said that his wife had gotten cancer also he had no insurence at this time and the bills for his wifes life where barely covered by the equity of his home so he used it.
his wife lived about 2 months more then died.
he said he had no reason to live every thing he had ever wanted was gone in a 4 year span. he started drinking, and didnt work, he lost his home, and wound up on the street.
this all happened in 2002.
i saw the same man in the publix off of A1A in 2006, he smiled at me and i just yelled "BLUE!" thats what i called him.
i asked him how was life now?
he said i have a nice home, a dog and saving up for a XBOX and a big T.V.
he told me that what i did made him think he was still here and his kids and wife would probably want him living good.
he didnt have a car, he had a bike. i did too so we road to his house.
he showed around and he went in his room and handed me the receipt i had given him with the wendys.
he have me a hug and my 25 dollars back.
i was reluctant to take it but he insisted so i took the money.
as soon as i walked out side i started to cry.

i knew that i had done something amazing something that was beyond anything that i will probably ever do again.

[jessem98]

the only time i ever cry is when im talking about something seriously emotional. sometimes during a good chick flick too (ugh, notebook was tough to get through). Im a 19 year old male and i think its perfectly healthy to cry when you need to. I guess it's how you are brought up, coming from an emotional standpoint. Although, that's not to say i don't get embarrassed when it happens in front of people (watery eyes, red leaky nose... not all out balling)

[JD1stTimer]

That story about Wendy's made me cry. I knew a homeless guy who worked as a day laborer digging ditches, moving rocks and shit like that even though his lungs were all torn up and he kept hurting his elbow and going to the E.R. to get basic medical care. The next-to-last time I saw him he invited me to a place that sells cold cans of Pabst for $1.00. He bought me one, then I bought him three, and we were both drunk and we laughed about our fantasies of going home with different women we knew we couldn't have, for different reasons. The next time I saw him his leg was hurt and he was completely drunk and could hardly walk. I ignored his stench and hauled his lame butt to a restroom, waited for him to piss, then helped him hobble back to his bench. It was freezing that night and he had no coat, so I told him to wait right there for a few minutes. I got an old HEAVY coat that I kept in the trunk of my car just for that type of situation, brought it to him, and he cried. I cried on the way home, knowing that I was probably his only friend, as I often saw people mocking him and telling him to go home and quit stinking up the courthouse lawn. BTW, Birdgirl and anyone else in Denton, it was Steve who always hung out at Jupiter House or Banter. He had long dirty brown hair and round wire-rimmed glasses. If anyone knows how he's doing lately I would appreciate to hear it. BTW, it would be great to meet up with anyone in Denton sometime. You guys are the best. Maybe we could caravan to the screening of Barry Cooper's latest DVD, proceeds going to DFW NORML. It's Jan. 12th.

[Hilder420]

Yeah, the wendys story made me tear up too, yours did as well.. I had something similar happen a few times.. the most memorable was when we were in the jack in the box drive through and there was this old thin man crying.. like sobbing.. asking for food. he said his stomach hurt so bad from not eating for three days and begging for food, a taco, a few fries.. his hand was broken, he was holding it up and it his fingers were at a weird angle. it was cold and raining. We felt so bad. we gave him the entire bag of food, a drink, a mcdonalds gift card i had for like 7 dollars and a windbreaker we had in the back seat.

something else that makes me cry, are those fur farm videos of people beating animals to death.. Thats why I dont buy, listen to, or watch anything from jennifer lopez, cause she owns one of em, and except for some of her acting, she blows. first time I saw it, I cried for hours.

[GraziLovesMary]

I cry when my best friends and brothers die a most tragic and untimely death when I could have done something to stop it. In an instance like that, I cry in front of hundreds of people while delivering the eulogy.



Ashley has been bringing out the "human" in me, and lately I have been finding myself having human emotions. I have never in my life possessed so much unconditional love and so little hate before now. I love nearly every single person on this planet in some way or another, and empathy towards others has recently provoked emotional responses from me. Recently I was up early in the morning waiting for Ashley to come home, and I saw a breaking news accident report. A man had run a red light with his pregnant wife and two young kids in the car, and got T-boned by a road-salting truck. The woman was listed in critical condition when I first heard it(she later died), and her kids were as well. The kids really hurt me on a deep emotional level, but something happening to a pregnant woman cut me and I began to tear up. Something that I still dont expect, but has been happening more lately as I find myself being "humanized."

I cant stand seeing anything happen to children, but the loss of a pregnant woman makes me weep mercilessly in the deepest depths of my soul... I would die a thousand deaths to keep you women safe :(

[Hilder420]

wow.. thats so sad. Ive never had anyone close to me die. I dont know what im gonna do when I get the call that my former best friend, who is 23, and has aids is dead or dying. man, everytime im pms-ing and i feel the need to cry, im just gonna come and browse this thread.

[thNk.m0rbid]

I dont make what Im feeling a mystery, if Im happy, you will know it. If Im pissed, trust, Ill let you know. If Im sad, i usually hide it behind a stoic expression and vague responses.. I cant cry in front of people, with all the shit thats happened to me, I've learned to control how much emotion I let out.. most of the time if i feel the need to cry, you will see one tear.. not a word or even a sob. I've mastered the art of swallowing my tears so to speak. Yet i can also cry on command, which has come in handy a couple of times..

I'm generally a happy person.. I laugh alot, always making observations and making funny or smartass yet still funny comments about everything around me.. If youre with me, You will most likely laugh the entire time. Especially if theres is or has been weed involved.. Theres always the time when something I see or hear triggers the urge to cry.. for example, seeing a hurt animal, the old Zales commercial music before they changed it to stupid Vanessa Carlton.. Seeing or hearing about another young american dying a senseless death.. The Star Spangled Banner.. hahaha yes, i know its stupid.. someone, especially men ask "is it food yet?" when asking if whatever meal Im preparing is done yet.. long story behind that..
What triggers the urge to cry for you? No flaming.. please.. Who's man enough to admit why they cry?!?

you sound exactly like me, and it's insane! wow, lol..

[Opie Yutts]

Driving by the golf course on a sunny day, and realizing that I may never be able to golf again.

[HickSS]

Out of physical pain, ive cried maybe twice but then again ive only been seriously hurt twice, lol. Emotionally..hmm, twice too lol. When my childhood basset hound died. Got him when I was 6 and died when I was 17. That was the first time that I cried for a pretty long time, since I was a little kid. The other time I was 20 and was sittin at home having a few captain and cokes and really thought about life and how all my family is getting older and just one day I will get a call or someone will tell me that a loved one has passed away. Also, at the end of forrest gump, lol. When hes saying goodbye to jenny at her grave...I tear up every god damn time and my friends let me know it, lol.

[marijuanavillebilly]

im about to cry right now!
i watched a fur famr video.
they skinned a racoon fuckn' alive!
after they where done rippin its skin off it raised its head, looked at the men who did this to them, and gave a squeal and died!
those people deserve to be hung upside down and skinned alive!

Things like the Following always make me shed tears.

Ouuta the Mouths of Babes I give you "Daddy's Day"

Her hair was up in a pony tail,
Her favorite dress tied with a bow.
Today was Daddy's Day at school,
And she couldn't wait to go.

But her mommy tried to tell her,
That she probably should stay home.
Why the kids might not understand,
If she went to school alone.

But she was not afraid;
She knew just what to say.
What to tell her classmates
Of why he wasn't there today.

But still her mother worried,
For her to face this day alone.
And that was why once again,
She tried to keep her daughter home.

But the little girl went to school
Eager to tell them all.
About a dad she never sees
A dad who never calls.

There were daddies along the wall in back,
For everyone to meet.
Children squirming impatiently,
Anxious in their seats
One by one the teacher called
A student from the class.
To introduce their daddy,
As seconds slowly passed.


At last the teacher called her name,
Every child turned to stare.
Each of them was searching,
For a man who wasn't there.
'Where's her daddy at?'
She heard a boy call out.
'She probably doesn't have one,'
Another student dared to shout.

And from somewhere near the back,
She heard a daddy say,
'Looks like another deadbeat dad,
Too busy to waste his day.'

The words did not offend her,
As she smiled up at her Mom.
And looked back at her teacher,
Who told her to go on
And with hands behind her back,
Slowly she b egan to speak.
And out from the mouth of a child,
Came words incredibly unique.
'My Daddy couldn't be here,
Because he lives so far away.
But I know he wishes he could be,
Since this is such a special day.

And though you cannot meet him,
I wanted you to know.
All about my daddy,
And how much he loves me so
He loved to tell me stories
He taught me to ride my bike.

He surprised me with pink roses,
And taught me to fly a kite.
We used to share fudge sundaes,
And ice cream in a cone.
And though you cannot see him.
I'm not standing here alone.
''Cause my daddy's always with me,
Even though we are apart
I know because he told me,
He'll forever be in my heart'

With that, her little hand reached up,
And lay across her chest.
Feeling her own heartbeat,
And from somewhere here in the crowd of dads,
Her mother stood in tears.
Proudly watching her daughter,
Who was wise beyond her years.

For she stood up for the love
Of a man not in her life.
Doing what was best for her,
Doing what was right.
And when she dropped her hand back down,
Staring straight into the crowd.

She finished with a voice so soft,
But its message clear and loud.
'I love my daddy very much,
he's my shining star.
And if he could, he'd be here,
But heaven's, just too far.
You see he is a Marine
And died just this past year
When a roadside bomb hit his convoy
And taught Americans to fear.

But sometimes when I close my eyes ,
it's like he never went away.'
And then she closed her eyes,
And saw him there that day.

And to her mothers amazement,
She witnessed with surprise.
A room full of daddies and children,
All starting to close their eyes.

Who knows what they saw before them,
Who knows what they felt inside.
Perhaps for merely a second,
They saw him at her side.
'I know you're with me Daddy,'
To the silence she called out.
And what happened next made believers,
Of those once filled with doubt.

Not one in that room could explain it,
For each of their eyes had been closed.
But there on the desk beside her,
Was a fragrant long-stemmed pink rose.
And a child was blessed, if only for a moment,
By the love of her shining star.
And given the gift of believing,
That heaven is never too far.

[Hilder420]

Thats the same video I watched. just reading your description made me cry again. I saw the one of the guy clubbings pigs and piglets suckling at their momma with a metal pipe and clubbings of dogs just for fun. It hurts my heart that people can be so cruel. and some people believe we are better than animals. nobody should wear fur unless absolutely necessary.

[Justonevoice]

Nothing soothes the soul like "Random Acts of Kindness".

[Trip06]

I like animals, I agree killn baby animals is sick. I dont see the point in hunting or trapping anything unless your gonna eat it or Its for a reasonable purpose. killing lil animals to make hats and highend designer fashion is for basturds.

[Opie Yutts]

Holy crap that makes me angry. How can people do something like that. I don't hunt anymore because I just don't see the point, unless maybe you're using a bow and arrow. I like animals, but they were given to man to use as he sees fit. I see fit to use fur if need be, but I don't see fit under any circumstance to skin something alive. I would like to have a couple weeks alone with those guys. Now I'm going to cry.
