What will you do?

We Are One

(Love this song)
As you go through life you'll see
There is so much that we
Don't understand

And the only thing we know
Is things don't always go
The way we planned

[But you'll see every day]
[That we'll never turn away]
When it seems all your dreams come undone

[We will stand by your side]
[Filled with hope and filled with pride]
We are more than we are
We are one

If there's so much I must be
Can I still just be me
The way I am?

Can I trust in my own heart
Or am I just one part
Of some big plan?

[Even those who are gone]
[Are with us as we go on]
Your journey has only begun

[Tears of pain, tears of joy]
[One thing nothing can destroy]
Is our pride, deep inside
We are one

[We are one, you and I]
[We are like the earth and sky]
One family under the sun

[All the wisdom to lead]
[All the courage that you need]
You will find when you see
We are one

--Angelique Kidjo

*OMG--I am quoting Borat! Desperate times = desperate measures.....

Joss Stone has an awesome voice

The first two lines:
I've got a right to be wrong
My mistakes will make me strong

TOOOOOO funny! And right on target!

In case you missed it last night:

Funny ads

Mood: ok
Hair: unwashed
Eyes: fubar
Listening to: the carbonation in my pop can

These ads are pretty funny, especially for those who've ridden on the Tube. There is just something quintessentially British about them. My favorite, from the "only in England" files: "Thanks, mate."

Urban Word:

mouse potato: Someone who spends all their time on the computer surfing the net or playing games. Similar to couch potato.

It was bad enough to witness the devolution of humanity to mouse potato, but now that people can take their games with them, does that make them phone potatoes? Tube potatoes, in the case above?

Dance is NOT overrated

Because, well, it's amusing

Beast forwarded this headbangin' cockatiel to me and I just had to share. Be sure to stay till the very end of the video. I especially liked the comment posted by boobopaboo yesterday; it made me bark with laughter.

Urban Word:

craxy: The X is for extra crazy.

Snowball is totally craxy.

Been there:

Dr. Who alert

Disclaimer: I haven't watched Dr. Who in twenty years, back when it was All-Tom.

However. I do like when people make fun of Scots (which I am) and are clever about things in general.


"...even with suspension of disbelief, that would be pushing it." {snort} "My heart...is no longer...in it.... Oh please, just for me, get out your sonic screwdriver."

Hysteria

This made me laugh so hard that I really cried. For like five minutes. Each time I played it. OMG.

I simply can't watch it without hysteria, and now I'm practically having an asthma attack.

(must have sound for full effect)

Sound and Video

So, I just heard these lyrics:
I go to bed real early
Everybody thinks it's strange
I get up early in the morning
No matter how disappointed i was
With the day before
It feels new

I don't leave the house much
I don't like being around people
Makes me nervous and weird
I don't like going to shows either
It's better for me to stay home
Some might think it means i hate people
But that's not quite right

I do some stupid things
But my heart's in the right place
And this i know

I got a dog
I take him for a walk
And all the people like to say hello
I'm used to staring down at the sidewalk cracks
I'm learning how to say hello
Without too much trouble

I'm turning out just like my father [*]
Though I swore I never would
Now I can say that i have a love for him
I never really understood
What it must have been like for him
Living inside his head

I feel like he's here with me now
Even though he's dead

It's not all good and it's not all bad
Don't believe everything you read
I'm the only one who knows what it's like
So I thought I'd better tell you
Before I leave

So in the end I'd like to say
That I'm a very thankful man
I tried to make the most of my situations
And enjoy what I had
I knew true love and I knew passion
And the difference between the two
And I had some regrets
But if I had to do it all again
Well, it's something I'd like to do

The Eels "Things The Grandchildren Should Know"

The bolded part is where I tuned in. It sounded right somehow to me. The rest is just really, really good.

*This really hits home; I called my car by his "car name" this morning! Every car he owned was named "Betsy" and I called the truck Betsy as we slid around a corner.

And then this popped in from The Urban Legend site. It's from 1967 and is freakily accurate about what "1999" would be like: What made me laugh: only men can pay bills, and Wink Martindale is the man for the job!

Political funnies

This is scarily hysterical. Watch till the end, and make sure you can hear very clearly.

For the obvious next question, go here.

I wonder what the new (Classified) Bill of Rights will be like.
