3 really good documentaries

that I've recently seen:

Cowboy del Amor
King of Kong
Who the #$&% is Jackson Pollock

If you know me, you know I LOVE documentaries because truth is definitely stranger than fiction. I highly recommend these three stories. Check them out on Netflix.

Get Back Up

Yes

Yes

It could happen any time, tornado,
earthquake, Armageddon. It could happen.
Or sunshine, love, salvation.

It could you know. That's why we wake
and look out--no guarantees
in this life.

But some bonuses, like morning,
like right now, like noon,
like evening.
