How many times have we thought that things would be different only if we slowed down, thought things through. And listened to what other people had to say instead. But aren't we all just human, so fixated on what we want, so caught up with what we can get that we're just flowing along the current of self glorification, slapping ourselves on the back every step of the way. Isn't it just a human instinct to satisfy our own needs before we start to look else where. I mean how can I help you if I can't help myself. Aren't we just human at the end of the day, with ourselves conceivably more important than anything or anyone else for that matter. After all, American values - individualism, carried along radio and TV waves that have been multiplied by the Internet has long planted the seeds on self justification that are so ingrained in us that who can blame us now for thinking "Who cares about what anyone else thinks as long as I'm happy."

This song has the cheesiest lyrics i have ever heard. with phrases like "we kill with the skill to survive" and "got the guts, got the glory." HA!

The music video does the lyrics some justice though.

In case you were all wondering, no it's not the official video....

I can remember
Standing
By the wall
And the guns
Shot above our heads
And we kissed
As though nothing could fall - Heroes by the Wallflowers

"A reversion to history in progress", a quote I took from a blog which is so apt it is chilling. Been there, done that. Don't like it, don't quite care.

Hey fellas, don't be jealous, when they made him they broke the mold.
So charismatic, with an automatic,
Never prematurely shooting his load, Pow!

I love how this song is just dripping with sarcasm behind such a happy and upbeat tune.

Antonio Banderas and Madonna---Oh What A Circus
lyrics by Tim Rice, music by Andrew Lloyd Webber


(Che:)
Oh what a circus, oh what a show
Argentina has gone to town
Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron
We've all gone crazy
Mourning all day and mourning all night
Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right

Oh what an exit, that's how to go
When they're ringing your curtain down
Demand to be buried like Eva Peron
It's quite a sunset
And good for the country in a roundabout way
We've made the front page of all the world's papers today

But who is this Santa Evita?
Why all this howling, hysterical sorrow?
What kind of goddess has lived among us?
How will we ever get by without her?

She had her moments, she had some style
The best show in town was the crowd
Outside the Casa Rosada crying, "Eva Peron"
But that's all gone now
As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears
We're all gonna see and how, she did nothing for years

(Crowd:)
Salve regina mater misericordiae
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
Salve salve regina
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
O clemens o pia
Hail, oh queen, mother of mercy
Our life, sweetness, and hope
Hail, hail, oh queen
To you we cry, exiled sons of Eve
To you we sigh, mourning and weeping
Oh clement, oh loving one


(Che:)
You let down your people Evita
You were supposed to have been immortal
That's all they wanted, not much to ask for
But in the end you could not deliver

Sing you fools, but you got it wrong
Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long
Your queen is dead, your king is through
And she's not coming back to you

Show business kept us all alive
Since seventeen October 1945
But the star has gone, the glamour's worn thin
That's a pretty bad state for a state to be in

Instead of government we had a stage
Instead of ideas, a prima donna's rage
Instead of help we were given a crowd
She didn't say much, but she said it loud

Sing you fools, but you got it wrong
Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long
Your queen is dead, your king is through
She's not coming back to you

(Crowd:)
Salve regina mater misericordiae
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
Salve salve regina Peron
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
O clemens o pia

(Eva:)
Don't cry for me Argentina
For I am ordinary, unimportant
And undeserving of such attention
Unless we all are, I think we all are
So share my glory, so share my coffin
So share my glory, so share my coffin

(Che:)
It's our funeral too

I finally watched Fitna and i am amazed.

I'm amazed at the audacity of the producer, in producing such a film.

I'm amazed at what he claims to be stated in the Koran. You have to watch it.

I'm amazed (not as much), at what the some of them have preached.

I'm amazed at how they describe Jews. Especially when they asked a little girl if she knew of Jews and she referred to them as swines.

I'm amazed at the backlash it has received and I'm wondering if there would be a similar backlash if someone did something like that with the bible.

I'm amazed at the producer's conclusion, "It's up to the Muslims to take out these pages of the Koran." - As if that's going to happen.

I dont need no friends
As long as I gaze on waterloo sunset
I am in paradise

How apt. I'll drink to THAT.
