Into Great Silence

To be totally honest, that movie was incredibly boring.  I fell asleep within 5 minutes of the film.  I could not handle the monotoneness of the lives of monks.  All I do really remember is one of the crazy monks feeding the cats.  He had lots of fun.  On the other hand, I do have lots of respect for those men.  They dedicate their lives to living on bare necessities.  They pray, eat, and sleep.  I could not live like that longer than 2 days at the most.  It takes tons of control and will power to be what they are.

hahahaha...I saw you sleeping. I am not a creep btw.
Ne way...
I agree with what you say about living that sort of life. I personally think that its quite amazing that they can live such isolated and quiet lives in this modern day. It is actually very interesting to think taht there are these people leading lives like that at this very moment. I feel that everyone should atleast attempt to live like this at least once in their lives, just to experience it. Even if they are only able to handle, like ryan for two days, I feel that they would gain a great understanding of the person they are.
P.S. I fell asleep too...sorry Ms. Cheever.
