Hope you guys are rooting for our Aussie Hunk Heath Ledger (Ennis Del Mar) for the Best Actor Academy Award for Brokeback Mountain. One of the great love stories of all time. And undoubtedly Heath�s best work of his career.

And as for Jake Gyllenhaal (Best Supporting Actor for Jack Twist). . . . mmmmmmm . . . I would love to take him on Brokeback Mountain . . . . . He is just One Gorgeous Hunk!! I can tell you one thing . . . . those sheep would sure learn fast to take care of themselves! LOL.

Brokeback premiered here in Aussie a month back and I have seen it already 3 times! Yes, I love it! That 2 straight actors could portray 2 gay cowboys and make it all so real and convincing just moves me everytime. It is just a great tribute to the American cowboy tradition.

Even though this movie proves romance can be a real backbreaker, I am reminded of 70s song For Loving You, by Whispering Bill Anderson:

For loving you my life is so much richer
You've given so much to live for
And I never really lived before, before loving you

And for loving you my faith is a little stronger
For a world that could give you to me
Couldn't be as bad as it's made out to be
There was good there I just could never see, before loving you.

And for needing you I feel a whole lot stronger
For there's a strength that comes
From knowing you need to give of yourself
And darling, I gave so much of myself loving you.

And now I'm losing you and I'm a sadder lonelier man
Than I ever thought any man could be
But even in my loneliness, even as I walk
The hunting trail of memory.

Even for all the pain that I'm feeling right now
Never once will I ever regret
Having had the chance of loving you.

One day I am gonna get back to Brokeback Mountain, that high altitude Garden of Eden, and do a bit of riding !!, herding, bust a few broncos, shoot coyotes and saddle up!!

I just love Mountain Men!!
