THE ASTRONAUT FARMER


Talk about drenching my Carhartt with tears of very hard and loud laughing, I’ve been doing a short list of movies that have as main actor (or character) Billy Bob Thornton, this is just one of them, I’m not going to tell you its story, you can read it in the links I put here and watching the trailer from the Youtube trailer, either way my vote to both this crazy movie AND to B.B. Thornton is a truckload of beers (by the gallons) with my imposition to watch it with a truckload (again) of good friends, willing and ready to dry up the beer (in the truck) working out their abdominal muscles like they are lifting many hundreds of pounds while at the gym.
I’m very happy to say that yesterday afternoon my young Brent (thoroughbred Lingiardi) came to my room (prison) somewhat inexpediently and I forgot (surely for my surprise) to have his help to organize among the 5 Case Logic DVD folders my DVD movies (about 500) by gender.
My surprise to have my Brent come here to spend some time with me (real and only dad) without any fear or concern of any kind had me completely forget to both take pictures of him for my mother (Brent’s nonna) and re-organize my DVD movie collection. However, what gave even more joy to me yesterday was when he told me that Michele (his mamma) still loves me at least as much as I do (no matter that my brain is injured).
What I loved the most about Brent telling me of this, is the way he expressed it, or – like only a true Lingiardi can do – using a very confident and factual based way to express this concept, I’m really ashamed of myself for having been under the (false) impression that my Brent looking very much like his uncle Steve (Michele’s younger brother blond, tall and skinny) he might take more from the Werney family. It truly matters isn't how you look like, it’s what your marrow is made of, that can make the person you are and forever will be.
