What makes you cry?

[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.

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!

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?!?

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.

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]

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.

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.
