  1. What if we get the answer wrong?
  2. And another, sad angsty song from someone taken too soon. http://www.umsl.edu/~keelr/mycourses.html And another, sad angsty song from someone taken too soon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s5r2spPJ8g
  3. OMG! The angstiest!! It is about how fast life flies by, can't you hear the angst in his voice? "33 for a moment.... but you see I'm a 'they, a kid on the way".... he is a they now, an adult, responsibility, something he never thought he would be, he thought he'd be a cool kid for ever...... "45 for a moment..... chasing the years of my life"... It is the same theme as Our Town kinda in the sense that it is about how you never appreciate your youth or life until it is gone. There is even a reference to Robert Herrick's, To the Virgins, Make Much of Time I'm 15 for a moment Caught in between 10 and 20 And I'm just dreaming Counting the ways to where you are I'm 22 for a moment She feels better than ever And we're on fire Making our way back from Mars 15 there's still time for you Time to buy and time to lose 15, there's never a wish better than this When you only got 100 years to live I'm 33 for a moment Still the man, but you see I'm a they A kid on the way A family on my mind I'm 45 for a moment The sea is high And I'm heading into a crisis Chasing the years of my life 15 there's still time for you Time to buy, Time to lose yourself Within a morning star 15 I'm all right with you 15, there's never a wish better than this When you only got 100 years to live Half time goes by Suddenly you're wise Another blink of an eye 67 is gone The sun is getting high We're moving on... I'm 99 for a moment Dying for just another moment And I'm just dreaming Counting the ways to where you are 15 there's still time for you 22 I feel her too 33 you're on your way Every day's a new day... 15 there's still time for you Time to buy and time to choose Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this When you only got 100 years to live
  4. Ultimate angst song for me. Also could be in songs that make me cry.

    Glee

    I think you misunderstand the point of "Rose's Turn" in both Glee and Gypsy. It was always about Rose (Kurt), in Gypsy. Rose says she just did it for her girls, but her girls left because they knew better, I mean she turned her little girl into a stripper for God's sake. Ditto for Glee, Kurt says "I did it for you Dad", but he didn't, it is how he justifies his selfish actions in his own mind. Listen to the great Patti LuPone on how the song is sung and note her inflections.

    I was impressed with Idina Menzel. Damn can that girl sing. Oh and i would have been impressed with Kurt, it he'd told his dad it wasn't all Finn's fault, because he had been hitting on him, that getting his dad together with Finn's mom wasn't to help stop his dad from being lonely, but so Kurt could be closer to Finn. I think Finn was pretty patient with Kurt's antics.
  8. I am of two minds. I think no one handles the sex scenes better than Dom, very few are explicit, but still hot. I do enjoy the explicit scenes if they are well done and there are some people here who do that well too. I can't say who, because his story on GA hasn't gotten there yet, but when it does.... it is perfect.
  9. Your quote is generally attributed to Abraham Lincoln. On a side note and kind of related to another thread about mis-attribution of quotes there is a really cool book I saw at Borders the other day, The Book of General Ignorance. It is about things we assume to be true because everyone says it, like "Mt. Everest is the tallest mountain", which it really isn't.
  10. Bite your tongue Arbour, Aaron was our last, best hope for a gay to win! I agree, I love Crystal. She reminds me so much of Janis Joplin. She has a uniqueness about her.
  11. Blacksmiths are an interesting lot. I didn't even know we had them in the U.S. still. Bombing sparked 1892 labor war
  12. Your friend should have made you watch this video instead. While the other might have been poignant (that is how it is spelled by the way) this is just too funny and too right on if you live anyplace that gets lots of Asian tourists and you watch them take picture and videos. This Wong Fu Productions is terribly talented. Wong Fu Productions

  14. I would venture that most people have thought about it, me included, and sometimes more seriously than others, but I always come back to I could never do that to my parents. That is why I can get that others, especially gay kids who felt their parents don't care about them have no problem completing the act. I have thankfully never had anyone close to me commit suicide, or at least no one who was a close friend at the time they took their own life. That would have been tough for me to handle knowing they couldn't come to me.
  15. Click here
  16. Why not gather the facts of the case and do the next best thing, send all the information to media outlets, local and national. The bullying case of that Irish girl got good national attention and people are always screaming "for the children" let them see what the results are. There shouldn't be any more Prayers for Bobby made.
  17. Don't need to see your hair..... just lift the t-shirt, we are very shallow
  18. I forgot this one. It reminds me of all the young men who didn't come home from World War II. So melancholy when I hear it.
  19. Well geeze, I was gonna be polite and not point out you were getting older..... But here is a special greeting from my close personal friends Paul, Ringo, John and George.
  20. I agree and I officiate two sports (or four if you want to be technical). The sports I do are water polo and wrestling, but in wrestling I do three distinct types of wrestling, American folkstyle (what we do in high school and college), Freestyle and Greco Roman (what you see in the Olympics and the rest of the world). The contrasts between how officials who only do American folkstyle and those who also do the international styles is stark. American sports have a the "rule are the rules" mentality, black and white, it says it, that is what it is. International sports are more about the spirit and the intent of the rule and getting a fair result. And if you needed MORE reason to dislike the Monrovia coach........ he did not field his top team on the boy's varsity level, he dropped any athlete who was a freshman or sophomore to the frosh-soph team(9th-10th grades or roughly 15-16 for our foreign friends) off varsity (highest level) so they could win the league title at the lower level. http://www.pasadenastarnews.com/preps/ci_14989503
  21. So does toe fungus.......
  22. A shower is utilitarian. A bath is a luxury. Scented water, pedals floating in the water, aroma candles to bathe by and someone special in a nice large tub......
  23. A sex scene is like any other scene in a story it should move the story forward, not sidetrack it. If the story is a coming of age story or a story of discovery, the sex scene can be very powerful and crucial. It doesn't need to be explicit It also should not be gratuitous or prurient.
  24. I think it presumptuous to accuse the other coach of being willing to go to the same level to win a meet based on no evidence. I was raised on the concept of fair play and stories like Luz Long and Jesse Owens where sportsmanship was more important than merely winning. I have seen many examples of fair play from coaches and players over the years although they seem to come fewer and fewer these days. But I believe as you sew , so shall you reap. No one is going to cut Monrovia High any breaks. This might bite them in the ass and then some.
  25. This story shall the good man teach his son; And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by, From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remembered- We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition; And gentlemen in England now-a-bed Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day. Henry V – act iv scene iii
