Now it's making sense to me...
I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this
straight....."
If you grow up in Hawaii , raised by your grandparents,
you're "exotic, different."
Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, a quintessential
American story.
If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic
Muslim.
Name your kids Willow , Trig and Track, you're a
maverick.
Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating,
you're well grounded.
If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer,
become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review,
create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000
new
voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor,
spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a
districtwith over 750,000 people,
become chairman of the stateSenate's Health and Human
Services committee,
spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a
state of
13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and
serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public
Works and
Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any
real leadership experience.
If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on
the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with
less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a
state
with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified
to become the country's second highest ranking
executive and
next in line behind a man in his eighth decade.
If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years
while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant
churches, you're not a real Christian.
If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress,
and then left your disfigured wife and married the heiress
the next month, you're a true Christian.
If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education,
including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding
the fiber of society.
If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only,
with no other option in sex education in your state's
school system
while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're
very responsible.
If your wife is a Harvard graduate laywer who gave up a
position in a prestigious law firm to work for the
betterment of her inner city community,
then gave that up to raise a family, your family's
values don't represent America 's.
If you're husband is nicknamed "First Dude",
with at least one DWI conviction and no
college education, who didn't register to vote until
age 25 and
once was a member of a group that advocated the
secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extreme
OK, much clearer now.

What have you lost that you wish you could get back?

My best friend.
I certainly hope she does something about that mustache of hers before they get married!
Run and tell all of the angels
This could take all night
Think I need a devil to help me get things right
Hook me up a new revolution
Cause this one is a lie
We sat around laughing and watched the last one die
I'm looking to the sky to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something to help me burn out bright
I'm looking for complication
Looking cause I'm tired of trying
Make my way back home when I learn to fly
I think I'm done nursing the patience
I can wait one night
I'd give it all away if you give me one last try
We'll live happily ever trapped if you just save my life
Run and tell the angels that everything is alright..
Fly along with me, I can't quite make it alone
Try and make this life my own
~Learn to Fly

That girl was a maniac this weekend!!! :D
Keep you in the dark you know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark and so it all began
Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones go marching in again
They need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are ever ready
Are you ready
I'm finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance...that whole defense
It's been an infinity, oh
The wheel is spinning me
It's never ending
Never ending
Same old story
What if I say I'm not like the others
What if I say I'm not just another one in your place
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender
In time or so i'm told
I'm just another soul for sale
Oh well
The page is out of print
We are not permanent
We're temporary
Temporary
Same old story
What if I say I'm not like the others
What if I say I'm not just another one in your place
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender
I'm the voice inside your head
You refuse to hear
I'm the face that you have to face
Mirroring your stare
I'm what's left
I'm what's right
I'm the enemy
I'm the hand that'll take you down
Bring you to your knees
So who are you
Yeah who are you
Yeah who are you
Yeah who are you
Keep you in the dark you know they all pretend
What if I say I'm not like the others
What if I say I'm not just another one in your place
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender
So who are you
Yeah who are you
Yeah who are YOUUUUUU!!!!
