Yeah, it's me again. I had let the whole situation from the other night go. It was gone. Then me and Mr. Jim Beam got to thinkin'. I still don't understand. I just don't. I guess the only way that I would, is if I were in the same business as you. I just don't understand how someone fortunate enough to get to act in movies for a living could get upset about some awards. But, then again, I guess it's not totally about these specific awards as much as it's about the fact that the film just didn't get quite as much recognition as you felt it deserved. (a point I happen to agree with you on, but THAT is neither here nor there) If I'm wrong about that then feel free to correct me. The only explanation I have for my actions is, that I felt you were taking your fortunate position of being a professional (successful) actor for granted. I see now that that's probably not the case at all. But damn it, when I first read your original post all I could think was, "This lucky bastard, is bitchin' about some fucking awards?!?!". I was just like, "There are children all over this country, homeless and starving and this guy's pissed about some awards!!!". "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!!!". Man, you might as well had come over here and kicked my momma in the mouth. That's the best way I know how to explain why I did what I did. I do , however, appreciate you taking so much time to explain your stance on the matter to me. That I do appreciate, very much. Very much. I guess, in the end, we just have to agree to disagree on the matter. G'day Mr. Lee.
