"68% think we give too much in foreign aid, and 59% think it should be cut. You know why I love that stat? Because 9% think its too high & shouldn't be cut! 9% of respondents could not get their arms around the question. There should be another box you can check for: I have utterly no idea what you're talking about. Please God don't ask for my input"

Thanks for Playing

Ladies & Gentleman, Thanks for playing

It was fun while it lasted

But let's all be honest

This wasn't going anywhere

No one was going to win

No prizes were to be awarded

Zero was your chance of success

You put up a good fight

I've never seen someone work so hard

But at the end of the day

It doesn't make the least bit of difference

Because everyone's going home empty handed

Wuthering Heights

An Original Poem

Inspired by the novel Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

I have not forgotten someone that looked like you

Only the being they have replaced you with

You claim to love me with all your heart

But you look at me as a mistress does her servant

You're repuatation has become most important

It has destroyed you, corroded you from the inside

Taken what I loved most and shattered it

Made it something common and uneventful

How am I to compare to the eligible Edgar

Where am I to obtain his wealth

What can I provide that he cannot

Who you will choose is not a mystery

You say my passion is of hate not love

But what am I to love about this world

A dead father, a brutish brother, an unfaithful lover

I can curse the world but the only curse is on me

Prepare to Fight

An Original Poem

Up in the tallest tower she's kept

Isolated from me like a fish from land

I fight to see her knowing full well

She's a prize I will never possess

But I still fight to make my presence known

I spar with a fire breathing dragon named failure

He better not harm us

Unless he want to meet my one man army

Because even though I'm a sizeable underdog

I promise not to yield until

Every ounce of my blood has been spilled

Or all of my limbs have been dismembered

I will never surrender to him

Because giving up mid fight is a bigger loss

Not only will I lose her but myself as well

So I say to my opponents, Prepare to fight

A Brave New World

An Original Poem

The mission is a go
His objective is clear
Now he waits on the launchpad
Ready to take off
Into the brave new world
That lies before him

He anxiously plans
Thinking of every possibility
Deciding which will bring success
He's unsure what this new world
Will bring him
But he knows he must find out

This new world holds infinite possibilities
Beyond anything earth can offer
Its harvest's are bountiful
And its resources are abundant
But are they just hiding something darker
Something dangerous and threatening

Only he can find out
It is his actions alone
That will let the world know
If it is safe to stray
Beyond earths bounds
Into a world of infinity

The Golden Moments

The golden moments in our lives
Aren't the ones that take your breath away
You can't plan for them
Its impossible to mark them on your calender

The golden moments in our lives
Are the ones you spend with someone special
Talking about the same thing 30 times
But each second is more precious than the last

The golden moments in our lives
Are few and far between for some
So don't take any of them for granted
Because it very well could be your last

I Prepare The Poet

Poem inspired by the lyrics of Lupe Fiasco

Had a feeling that it would be a day like this
But I’m prepared for it
Brushed off my airs
Even cut my hair for it
Cause normally I don’t care for it
Don’t even bother looking for love
Then there go it
Yea right over there so I prepare the poet

Love, you gotta love it
Holding hands in public, I dig it
Everything you do and everything you doesn’t
Everything you done, well…
I hope I’m the one you does it to

I hope this trick goes wrong
And I’m cut in two
So I can feel what I’m feeling twice as much
Choose, to choose, I’d rather have you
Even if its half
And I’ll even hold for the whole if I have to because…
You’re my sunshine
You’re my moonlight
You’re the starry skies above me
Won’t you come down and hug me

I fell asleep beneath the flowers
For a couple of hours
On a beautiful day
I dream of you amid the flowers
For a couple of hours
Such a beautiful day

I whisper in her ear
“Its kind crowded in here”
“Would you care to move outsite”
She said “yea, I’ve been waiting for you”
“And I know you’ve been chasing me too”
“Since they kidnapped me from my castle”
I told her “Fire breathing dragon, he bet not harm me”
“Or he be sorry when he meets my one man army”
“You’re knight in shining armor”
On the way back she’s woken up by the horn of an SUV
I said “See, You’re too beautiful too let sleep”
Ohh but its only a daydream
I fell asleep beneath the flowers
For a couple of hours
On a beautiful day
Daydreamin’
I dream of you amid the flowers
For a couple of hours
Such a beautiful day…dream

Yeah my brain spin with velocity
Thinking about ways to get up
Wishing I could be the man
So I just stand wishing I could have her

Instead…
I'm just sitting wathcing the people in the boxes

Trying to absorb everything I see

I continue to watch the box

hoping it will give me something to unlock it with

I'm so scared to look away because

At that moment it might show me what to take off the locks with

So I chain myself to the box

Take a lock and then lock it and swallow the combination

But please, do this one thing for me
Outta the trillions of number in this world
Just leave me a few that lead to you because
You’re my sunshine
You’re my moonlight
You’re the starry skies above me
So won’t you please come down and hug me

Yeah, at time like this
I dunno what to do but rhyme like this
She probably doesn’t even know I exist
Can’t figure out why I can’t take this
Yeah, at time like this
I’m wishing I could be a little stronger than this
Too many worries and pre-requesities
Just to reach ya, just to be with ya
So far, still so far apart, all I want is just to talk…

My Outlook on Life

Nerds- The best kind of people in the world. The brightest, smartest, most talented group of students in the universe. We'll study as much as we can and we are not afraid to take it to the library. We will most likely own our own companies and make 500,000 dollars a year. We'll be proud to be 30 with homes in six states and be notorious for deal making. Ladies love us. Guys want to be us. We are the brains of the universe.

Fifteen Music Video by Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift's New Music Video: Fifteen

Enjoy it!

Music Monday (9/21/09)

Taylor Swift has finally crept out from the shadows of the twitter world. She had not tweeted since the VMA incident and many fans were worried that she was going to remain out of the public eye from now on, but they were presently surprised at 5:45 PM when Taylor tweeted "Just picked out the exact dimensions of my future fireplace. It was exhilarating." through her twitter account (@taylorswift13). In honor of her returning I am dedicating my Music Monday list to Taylor Swift songs of the 'slower' gener.

1. The Best Day by Taylor Swift

2. Tim McGraw by Taylor Swift

3. Breathe by Taylor Swift feat. Colbie Caillet

4. Tied Together With a Smile by Taylor Swift

5. Mary's Song (Oh My My My) by Taylor Swift

Jimmy Kimmel Spoof..."A Swift Kick in the Nuts"

I won't ruin it so look at this very funny clip of the Jimmy Kimmel Show titled "A Swift Kick in the Nuts".

Republicans say if healthcare reform is passed they won't talk to Obama

Great analysis from The Young Turks in this clip. A Republican Congressman said that if health care reform is passed, he and the party would not speak to the President until he repealed his programs of 'tyranny'. How are we suppose to get legislation passed if 40% of Congress doesn't speak...well on second thought that kind of sounds nice.

FOX News claims CNN didn't cover teaparty rally

Rick Sanchez, a CNN anchor, brings the hammer down own FOX News who ran a full page ad in the Washington Post claiming that CNN and many other networks did not cover the rally. Whats ironic is not the CNN did in fact extensively cover it, or that Bill O'Reilly even did a segment on CNN's coverage, but that in the ad FOX used a photo taken by a CNN TV camera. In the add claiming CNN hadn't covered the story they used evidence of CNN covering the event. I have no more words to describe the complete boldness of FOX News' lies.

To see a clip of Rick Sanchez chastising FOX News click here.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE

According to Fox News they meant that the other networks did not cover the 'real' story. Really, according to this clip the producers of Fox News are whipping the crowd to make them more excited for a broadcast. I don't think that's journalism and I'm pretty sure its not fair and balanced.

Informed People for a Public Option

Recently saw a Downingtown West group labeled stop government run healthcare care which had a lot of misleading information. They were not open to differing opinion so I created my own group. Below are some quotes and my analysis.

"the government needs to eliminate the public option because a single payer system will bring down private insurance."
--Two things are wrong with this. One the public option is not single payer it acts just like a private insurance company it just has less overhead and no profit. Second your argument is that the prices the government can provide, without receiving taxpayer money, will be so good private insurance can't compete...isn't that what I want!

"our health care is the best in the world"
--While the US does have very advanced medical techniques the availability of these is EXTREMELY limited to only the very rich. This is why our life expectancy is lower than other countries such as France.

"arnt we over 9 trillion dollars in debt? there is no possible way we can afford a 900 billion dollar healthcare plan"
--Actually it is only 1.56 trillion and much of this is from the Bush Administration who, during stable economic times, increased the defect by over a trillion dollars. And if nothing is done to revamp the healthcare system Americans will have to pay more in taxes to pay for those who receive treatment from a hospital but don't have insurance.

My Least Favorite Sex Position...

My least favorite sex position is called the Taylor Swift; getting interrupted half way through.

I also enjoyed her urban dictionary definition

Taylor Swift: Hotter than your girlfriend.

(Ex. in sentence) "Taylor Swift is hotter than your girlfriend"

PLUS the best performance at the VMAs

New Music - More Music Videos

The University of I Don't Remember

Glenn Beck cited a source when declaring that there were 1.7 million people at the anti-healthcare demonstration rather than the actual 60,000. What source was it?...The University of I Don't Remember. After some research I found the UIDR slogan, 'UIDR, making shit up for Glenn Beck since 1980'. Alright, in all seriousness this clip from The Young Turks explains how Glenn Beck flat out lied to make the protest seem important.

Valentines Day Trailer

A new trailer for Valentines Day has surfaced. Why do I care well...it has Taylor Swift in it (but she's not in the trailer). Plus I only had two posts for today. The movie seems to be one of those 'one day six lives/intertwined events' so we'll see if they can pull it off.

SNL Joe Wilson Clip

SNL does a very funny interpretation of the Joe 'You Lie' Wilson incident (Clip).

Enjoy...

Tampa Bay Radio Station 93.3 FLZ & The MJ Morning Show...are dead to me

My Dead to Me list has quickly tripled in size to include the Tampa Bay Radio Station 93.3 FLZ & its program the MJ Moring Show. Both were extremely disrespectful to Taylor who when asked about Kanye said that she was very thankful for the support she received (including flowers from Janet Jackson) and was looking forward to putting the event behind her (clip). After 'MJ' repeatedly asked her questions about the incident Taylor responded by saying ""You know, honestly, I'm trying not to make it into a bigger deal than it already is. It's kind of become more of a bigger deal than I thought it would be. I would just like to move on a little bit. ... I didn't know what to think but I think we should talk about something else. It's nothing I feel like we should talk about." Then when told that "This is what everyone is gonna talk about why shouldn't I" Taylor said it is but after I've asked them not to three times I think they would have stopped. 'MJ' then began to ask another Kanye related question and Taylor handed the phone to her publicist who announced that Taylor was moving on to another interview and hung up.

This is not thee first time an artist has walked out on 'MJ'. Miley Cyrus walked out after just 90 seconds of a previous interview.

Maybe 'MJ' should take a look at how a real Taylor Swift interview should be conducted

BILL O'REILLY SUPPORTS THE PUBLIC OPTION

Just viewed a recent clip form The Young Turks which analyzes an interview Fox News Host Bill O'Reilly had with a guest in which he said he wanted the government to run a program that kept health care costs low for working class Americans. Now some, especially those that support/agree with my political views, may ask why this is news and my response is that ITS FOX NEWS. These have been the people creating the cloud of doubt, confusion, and anger over health care reform. The Young Turks do give some reasons why O'Reilly may be doing this, one being that the public option appears to be long since bargained away. Either way though, the man who I believe is the most intelligent on Fox News (which is good and bad) has certainly shocked me. He has budged from a stance that Republican Senators and Congressman certainly won't.
