Commitments, The
Commitments, The (1991)

IMDB rating: 7.30

Plot: Jimmy Rabbitte, che vive di piccoli espedienti in un quartiere proletario di Dublino, si e’ messo in testa di organizzare una band musicale per rinverdire i fasti del rythm&blues e del soul. Grazie ad un annuncio sul giornale, Rabbitte comincia a selezionare giovani dal lavoro precario ma pieni di talento: Dean, Fay, Outspan, l’occhialuto Steven , Clifford, Deco, il ciccione senza buone maniere ma con una grande voce, Billy il batterista e Joey “The lips”, un bizzarro e maturo anziano suonatore di tromba che si vanta di aver suonato con famosi soul-singers. Aggrega anche Natalie, Imelda e Bernie, tre grintose ragazze, ottime coriste e molto sexy. Procuratisi a credito la strumentazione, cominciano le prove, massacranti, che impegnano tutti. Si inizia a suonare in pubblico, in capannoni e feste sociali: il gruppo sembra pervaso dal fuoco della musica e dell’ambizione. La band, pur se dilettantesca e provinciale, sembra lanciata verso il vertice e finisce invece nel fallimento: dissapori, piccole gelosie e contrasti umani ed artistici, sfaldano il gruppo. Il sogno di Jimmy evapora nel nulla e quel grande patrimonio di energia e bravura che poteva fruttare quattrini e successo siPL: disperde nel nulla.

20 Year Relationship Ended today – need direction for self-exploration?
Thanks for taking the time to read.

My wife and I have had a rough go over the past 10+ years in which I made work and my own vices a priority over sharing time with her and building intimacy within our relationship. As of late, at 42, I had found it increasingly important to address these issues with her, however, she is not able to open up to me in fears that she may be hurt again.

Today, she made a clean break from our relationship and is now on the road to self-development searching for more in life. I, on the other hand, am stuck in negativity dwelling on the concept that I had what I wanted, didn’t take the time to appreciate it, and now am forced to consider a life with her as a friend and not as my wife.

We have a 9 year old and have plans to continue to live together while seeking counseling – both marriage and self-counseling. She has made it clear, however, that there is no commitment, guarantee or promise that the self development she is embarking upon will lead us to convergent paths. While she loves me, she is not in love with me and is seeking new pleasures in life which she deems fulfilling. I, on the other hand, cannot fathom a life without her.

I think my issues boil down to a combination of thinking the entire world revolves around me and a lack of self-worth.

I am looking to proceed with counseling but am wondering if I am on the right track with my issues above.
Addl deatils……

I have always put what I wanted first in the last 10 years of our relationship.

I was never there to build an intimate bond with my wife – and felt she was holding it over my head for the longest time – which fueld my lack of desire to try to build.

She is having an online affair which she is realizing there is more to life than settling for a stable homelife.

She does not want a divorce as she would be raising a 9 year old on her own on a $40k per year salary.

We have committed to going to counseling but her desire to shake off the past and reinvent herself is most prevalent at this time.

I need to be a father to my son while at the same time living in the same house with a wife who I have feelings toward – but she no longer wants to return those feeling toward me. In her words, "I don’t know if I will ever be able to open myself up to you again in fear I will be crushed again."

I am an emotional wreck and need to put myself back together quickly.
This is really good information and I appreciate all of the responses.

as further information…..

our relationship did not end as I put in the title – it was the common roles of husband and wife which ended today.

She is positive and future looking enough to know there is a world out there which awaits her so she has a clear cut vision of what she wants to accomplish and right now, its not about me, its about us reinventing our friendship for the sake of our child.

While she is supportive of me, I think she is doing so because she needs me to be positive for the sake of our son.

Deep down inside, I know she doesn’t want me anymore and is leaving the old life of "settling" behind her.

The title should be more accurately titled – 20 year marriage downgraded to friendship today.


i am really sad after i read this.
twenty years’ relationship is not eay, you two need to accompany, be patient together, and that is a habit, a people stand by you, and do thing together with you.
And 20 years, is really a big program.
You two, has already passed it, is there anything really bad or important than this? than the 20 years?
IF you look back the time, you will know, any difficulty and interest now, is less important than that 20 years time and a wife.
So, i don’t agree you to end, why not give it up? Grasp it.
when you are old enough, and think back, you will be proud of yourself, you have save and cherish the most important, and the only chance in your life.
good luck for you.

Well for one, 20-year relationships don’t end in a day usually unless it is a result of death. I heard a quote "Don’t make someone a priority that considers you an option." In other words if she moves on that easy then you must force yourself to move on that easy too. People like challenges, and if you can’t fathom a life without her and she’s just plain content with leaving, you don’t pose enough of a challenge to hold her interest. Try focusing on your career, making for a nice living space, going out to see friends and just about anything else to keep her distant. In time you will know whether this is meant to be or whether you are actually better off without her even though you may not feel so now. Time heals all wounds, concentrate on the you without her and you will probably seem like more attractive an option in the end (that is of course if you still want to be with her after you’ve individualized yourself more).

Joint and individual counseling is an excellent idea. Since you sound like you want to try to work on yourself and do what your can to rebuild a healthy relationship with your wife, I’d also suggest checking out divorcebusting.com. When I was at a cross roads in my marriage, I found much useful food for thought in the posted articles and in the community section.

If your wife wanted (or just agreed) to go to counseling with you, it’s possible that’s she’s tossing out a bone and looking to see if your relationship can be rebuilt into something better than it was.

If you’re much into reading, the book The 5 Love Languages, by Gary Chapman, may help you understand a few things about yourself and how you and your wife interact with each other.
magpie_complex | Feb 06, 2010


well basically what i would do is if she doesnt want to make an effort then you should just try try and try and if that doesnt work let her kno how you feel and recreate a romantic night/story you guys once had
The Coxer | Feb 06, 2010


Your wife hasn’t let the house, that’s a positive sign. Do Not for a second take that for granted.

She has made herself very clear. Believe that what she has said is exactly what she means. She most likely will not open up to you for a long time.

As you’ve said your combination of thinking the world revolves around you and making your work and your vices a priority. Has left your wife with very little.

Working on your self worth is a wonderful thing for you to do at, the same time think of the last years of your wife’s live when her self worth was also dwindling. I have been were your wife is. Restarting and trying to rekindle those feelings is going to take a lot of work. Make certain that you always say what you mean and mean what you say.
I don’t mean for this to sound rude but, if you re-read what you’ve written it sounds like you are still thinking about yourself and your feelings. You failed to ask what can I do for my wife, how can I show my wife I still care. Take your thoughts outside of yourself and really look at wife. Does she look happy? Does she look comfortable? Does she look worn out? Does she look angry? Does she look like her Spirit is broken? What made her fall in love with you in the first place? What can you do to become that man again? Be honest if you can’t be that man again then, let this relationship quietly go it’s own way and then hopefully you will both find happiness again.
MeAgain | Feb 06, 2010


I think the marriage counseling might fall thru since you said she made a clean break. It’s great that she still says that there is some kind of love for you. It’s better for your kid not to have to watch screaming matches.Make your kid the priority now and do what’s best for him/her.Stay with your own therapy, work hard at it and it will help you get your self esteem back

Stay
Stay (2005)

IMDB rating: 6.80

Plot: A thought-provoking and haunting exploration of how reality and dream-states may combine to form complex interactions in the mind of an accident victim. The line between the imagination and reality blurs when an accomplished Psychiatrist takes on a patient that appears to be suicidal.

Directors: Forster Marc

Actors: McGregor Ewan,Gosling Ryan,Hoskins Bob,Wong B. D.,Tormey John,Rosario Jose Ramon,Mitchell Gregory,Dominici John,Short,Drama,

I really need some advice please!?
I am 23, lived at home with my parents all 23 years. I have always been shy, traumatic past, i was molested when I was 10. I have a super close relationship with my mom. She is my best friend and has always been there for me. I love her to death. We spend all of our time together, even though we get testy with each other.

I met a guy online who is 33 in December 2008 and we talked on the phone 24/7 for five months straight. I fell hard for him, so I decided to move away from my home in Tennessee to live in Oregon with him. He is now my fiance and we have been together for a little over a year now. Last November he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Because of that he had to quit his job because he could no long perform the physical labor it required. This really killed him because he loved his job so much. He is in the process of getting Social Security and right now gets his M.S. medications for free. They are 1,000 dollars a syringe that he has to take 3 times a week. I love him so so much. His disease is something I do not mind living with. I love him and I love taking care of him. But, it’s hard being so far away from my family. I’m on the other side of the continent and I miss them every day…

I have talked to my parents about this. My mom wants me to do whatever makes me happy, but still begs me to come back to Tennessee. I talked to my fiance about this and he also wants me to do whatever makes me happy. He would rather me leave and be happy in Tennessee than to stay in Oregon and be sad all the time. My parents can’t move up here and my fiance can’t move to Tennessee due to his disease.

I need some outside advice. I want to move back to Tennessee and get myself a house there so I can be near my family and give my mom a hug when I feel like it. but I love my fiance sooo much and I can’t imagine my life being good without him. It seems to be really sucky in both situations. Would you go back to the place you grew up, where you are happy and establish a life OR move across the continent with a man who you love with all of your heart?

I can see myself being happy here in Oregon with my fiance, but this missing home thing is making it really hard! I have visited my parents twice since I have lived here in Oregon, but plane tickets are super expensive and are only going up, plus its really hard to get off work for long enough to really enjoy being back there.


don’t feel noble about him as he has said that you could -should- go back to TN
bopdaddy | Feb 09, 2010


The only logical answer is for you and him to move to tennessee, It would be a major deal but it sounds like it would be worth it for you and it would give him a better wife ( marry him ding dong ). And give him a better life, Tell him what you need , if love is true he will do whatever it takes to get you where you need to be. I know a guy who makes miracles happen, get to know him and send some knee mail. Good Luck Girl !!!

Blue streaks with brown hair!?
I have medium brown hair and i got caramel streaks in it last august. im getting bored of them now and now i want a change. i wos thinking of getting blue streaks.

i really want them but i dont know whether i would suit them.

i dont want to look like an emo either lol

ps. how much do u think they would cost


Dark blue is your best bet – but not on top, as that can look tacky. Try blue a blue layer under a brown layer, or streaks under brown. Test this out first with cheap blue extensions, to make sure it looks good. Typical "emo" is in the fringe so if you want to avoid that style don’t do it.
Frogamelia | Feb 07, 2010


no brown and blue?? i dont think soo….to me the only color streaks that look good with brown is probably a bleach kinda brown and red but a black dye would look good with any color streaks really but i dont recommend dying your hair black (or any color) bcause its cancer causing or something like that for the streaks itll probably cost like $30-$40 dollars..?

They will only be blue for a few days when it begins to wash out they will look green.It will cost you approximately 40 dollars or more depending on how many you want and how long your hair is.
Jolly | Feb 07, 2010


these are what go best with what hair colours:

brown: green, pink, blonde
blonde – ginger, pink, blue, bright orange, brown
black – bright red, blue, green, pink
ginger – blonde.
^ also, they go with different shades of there own colour, e.g grey and black, platinum and dark blonde, strawberry blonde and ginger, chocolate and light brown.
if you really what blue steaks then I suggest you dye your hair blonde or black. maybe if you have blue lowlights in colour work, but in a denim shade or darker , not too light.
hope this helps :)

Feeling guilty about not joining military?
I am a male (not sure if that matters here)I completed high school in 2004, after which I immediately entered a combined Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) program through the University of New Hamsphire and Columbia University, respectively. The duration of both degrees combined is lasts seven academic years. There are only 16 of these programs in the entire country, each taking at most 20 people per year. I finish my M.D. in June of 2011, and play to specialize in neurosurgery. After my M.D.studies I will work as a resident ("paid internship") for 6 years.

Three of my friends joined the Marines and served in Afganistan and Iraq One of them died.

Throughout my education I have often felt guilty about not joining any military branch and fighting on the front lines. I have the utmost respect for military personell who risks their lives and often experiences sorrow on their behalf. I read up (via multiple sources) on the military operations as much as could have. I particularly felt guilty during my times of relaxation from studies, when I would be consuming alcohol in moderation, hanging out, messing around (albeit legally), partying etc, all when my three friends and everyone else out there were risking their lives and ready to both kill and die.

At the end of high school I strongly considered joining but could not resist the seven year BS/MD option I was accepted into. I ultimately chose against joining any of the military branches.

I was wondering if anyone else felt/feels like this. Sometimes it’s hard for me to justify living such a normal life when so much suffering is out there.

Also, any troop members here (i’m sorry, im not sure about the lingo here) ever think about such things?
sorry for the typo I meant "plan to" not "play to"


My husband felt the same way. He graduated HS the same year you did. Eventually he could live with knowing his friends were going off to war fighting while he just sat back and did nothing, so he joined. He is now a soldier in the US Army and LOVES IT! I have never seen him as happy as he has been since he joined =)

The military is in shorter supply of medical doctors than soldiers. If you want to serve your country and your friends, plan to complete your medical training and apply for a direct commission. Thus, by completing your medical training you are serving the greatest needs of your country and friends. And who knows, once you’ve completed your education and residency, your country and friends may need you more as a civilian rather than a military physician. Only time will tell.

Look, anyone can be made into a grunt, most couldn’t get through what you’ve done. You’re far more valuable to the military after you graduate with your M.D. that a high school educated grunt. If you want to serve, do it as a doctor.

I am also an M.D., just finishing up this year. I did the traditional 4+4 pathways,although I had a gap year because I was not accepted into any MD program in the US or Canada the first time I applied.

I’m assuming you are not part of the HPSP option? If not, the Army,Navy (serves Marines) and Airforce have excellent option called FAP. Look it up. You are provided with additional stipends during residency.

If you want to serve, do it in whatever way your life situation allows. Medical doctors are needed the military. They are not neccesarily exclusive however….as doctors under the Navy umbrella end up taking caring other branches as well. The classification is kind of just a formality.

check out studentdoctor.net,there is forum there on military medicine.

I’ve wanted to do this since I started undergraduate college.

What would be a good Stephen King book for me to read next?
Well, I’ve read: It, The Shining, Pet Sematary, ‘Salem’s Lot, Misery, Carrie, Duma Key, The Stand.
I am going to read Insomnia next.
How about after?


Try his new on Under the Dome its great! The Green Mile is also good and The Girl who loved Tom Gordon

‘Desperation’ then ‘The Regulators’. They are brilliant :-) You really need to read them one after the other, though.I read ‘Insomnia’ a few days ago and I really never enjoyed it. I love Stephen King normally, so it was weird that I didn’t like that one, but I felt it wasn’t up to his usual standards. Another really good one is ‘The Tommyknockers’. Enjoy!

Have you tried Scott Sigler’s books like Infected

I like Stephen King’s Everything’s Eventual short story collection
chorle | Dec 05, 2009


I love DOLORES CLAIRBOURNE, and DUMA KEY, as well as all his short story collections, like NIGHTMARES AND DREAMSCAPES.
Herschel | Dec 05, 2009


Insomnia was such an excellent book probably one of my favorites…you should read The stand or start on the Dark Tower Series actually the DT series ties in with Insomnia a little bit. The tallisman was also pretty excellent
guitar_lady81 | Dec 05, 2009


His new one out now "Under the Dome"
was written when he published "The Stand,"
but didn’t finish it until now. A good 1000 pages. <}:-})

Or,
The Dark Tower series.
1. The Gunslinger
2. Drawing of the Three
3. The Wastelands
4. Wizard and Glass
5. Wolves of Calla
6. Song of Susannah
7. The Dark Tower.
One great series in seven novels.
Started in 1982 – Finished 2004.
Stephen King has been writing for over 40 years
and considers this series his "Opus" in writing. <}:-})
Private &lt;}:-}) | Dec 06, 2009


Different Seasons, friendo, and prepare to be amazed.
Lexterwall | Dec 07, 2009


I would suggest the Tallisman, it is my daughters fave. His new series is Under the Dome, another one would be the Dark Tower series and it is a great read. Happy reading!!
