How to be Lawrence of Arabia



This is also an idea who's time has come. Lawrence was many things.

Straight, Gay, Bi? Who knows. Liked to have himself whipped.

A great influencer for sure. A loner of the first order. A Changer of history. A man who made something important happen. A person who dreamed with his eyes wide open and made his dream a reality.

Great movie even though Peter O'Toole was a head taller than the real Lawrence.
