"glenn close stepped on the stage to honor the academy members who sadly passed away this evening.".

.. what did the reporter mean to say?

it's another day of wordplay

Good morning Coco, Rippy and the mysterious Mr. Shirley

Is the game a foot or are we laying off of those blue suede shoes?

Oh illustrious Grammar Gods of yore

Mistakes we've made please don't keep score

Confused we are with less and fewer

We feel like meat upon a skewer

The choices that we dare to make

we're anxious is it bring or take

And puncuation what a bore

We don't use it anymore

Release us from the grammar jail

With all it's tests for us to fail

suppose 10% of your nation were hardcore fanatics who can act as one - and they refuse to serve in the army or get jobs!.

and they are the fastest growing group with a high birthrate....... some of the protest photos of them filling the streets are impressive.. .

The genetics of it all is interesting

i did my dna on 23 andme and I am 50% irish, 25% ashkenazi jewish and the rest is sort of germanic. I'm matching chromosomes with some people in Israel so the question is. Who really is a jew?

You Needed Me

by compound complex in

heavy, heavy upon my failing heart weighs your aching.

need for my full and loving devotion.. oh, how i spend myself willingly on your behalf as,.

truly, your desires outstrip my own.. were i but a younger and wiry man, would i scale.

When i read this I think of many things that life brings to all of us. We don't come out of the womb full of wisdom and good sense so we often make stupid decisions whether they be with another human or an organization. We sometimes give our soul and all our energy and then it blows up in our face. It happens and that's okay but letting something paralyze you for the rest of your life is where the derailment occurs. Some of the best music,poetry and movies glamorize people who can't move on. It's funny isn't it. We humans have to learn to forgive ourselves for making mistakes and take charge of our lives but then what would happen to all those desperate songs like "I fall to pieces" or the titanic song. What about the great literature, what would we write about if we all came to our senses.

I like a line from Billy Joel's this is my life

They will tell you you can't sleep alone in a strange place then they'll tell you you can't sleep with somebody else

but sooner or later you sleep in your own space either way it's okay you wake up with yourself

What does it mean?

There's never going to be any kind of peace on that strip of land as long as two conflicting philosophies try to claim it for their own. I don't think Israel should have moved in and taken over based on the idea that god gave it to them or they used to live there. I'm not a big fan of the palestinians and their ways but that was their property and Israel will probably have a really difficult time holding on to it. In the past Britain felt it owned half the world and the land was theirs to give but the cultures that live on it have a very different idea.
