Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

Growin' up I was a fool; and I can't lie I'm missing you
Listen and don't trip
I think I need a bottle with a genie in it
Here's my wish list

First one, I would create a heart changing love
Second one, I'll take yours and fill it all up
Third one, but I don’t need a lot of wishes cause I’ll be okay if I get one

If I had one wish, we would be best friends
Love would never end, it would just begin
If I had one wish, you would be my boo
Promise to love you, trust me I'll trust you
If I had one wish, we would run away
Making love all day, have us a baby
If I had one wish, I’d make you my whole life
And you’d be my wife, make it right this time.

Now tell me is this the only way I can get you right back in
If so then searchin' I’ll go, then I can have you for sho
Then you’ll be loving me, holding me, kissing me
So girl don’t tell me what I’m feeling is make believe
I swear if I lose a second chance with you
I wouldn’t know what to do
I’d probably check myself into some kind of clinic
I couldn’t be alone because without you I’m sick

I don’t even know how we ended upon this road
And, even though we are grown, Girl I just want you to know.

Once upon a time, not so long ago,
A young man lived only for himself
and the pride and pleasure of life.
He took all that he wanted
and gave nothing but pain.
He broke some hearts and ruined lives
and messed up his own again.
He lived for only pleasure
and his own personal gain.
He cared for no one but himself
until everything changed.
Several years passed by
and he grew more and more.
He became a valued man of God
and repented for his ways.
But no matter what he did or said,
he couldn't forget his past.
The weight of guilt held him down,
and he couldn't forgive himself.
He prayed to God for forgiveness of sins
over and over again.
And then one day his friend came by
and this is what she said.
"It's true, I don't know who you were,
but I know who you are today,
Some might not agree with me,
but this is what I think,
That hidden somewhere inside of you
is a beauty others only dream.
Few things are a beautiful
as this beauty that you have.
in your heart.

The trailer for Will Ferrell's much-anticipated NASCAR flick is finally here, check out: "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby"

This was the movie I was in.
Movie

"A more recent CMB experiment, the Wilkinson Microwave
Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), was launched in 2001 to map
the CMB more precisely. It's a little over halfway
finished with its four-year mission. WMAP can detect
temperature differences of a millionth of a degree.
The WMAP results have been used to find the age of the
universe (13.7 billion years) and the time when the
first stars formed (200 million years after the Big
Bang), much earlier than scientists thought. WMAP also
found that the rate of expansion of the universe, in
case anyone is interested, is 71 kilometers per second
per megaparsec. Because the WMAP measures the
non-uniformity details of the universe very well, the
data have also been used recently to see if the
universe is finite but "wrapped." A "wrapped" universe
is one that is constructed like a video game: it looks
infinite, but when you move off the edge of the left
side, you reappear on the right side. (You've probably
seen Star Trek episodes like this.) If the universe
were "wrapped" then you would see the same temperature
patterns in two different places in the universe,
indicating they are actually the same place. So far no
evidence has been found that the universe is
"wrapped." You definitely want to keep your eyes open
for more wonderful results from WMAP in the next few years."
The straight dope

the young stale memories of play the role to your part
librarian find me the pole the one that kicks your head in
with my own time role your own innocence by
grab on to my sleeve the one that grabs at your ankle
debate to understand that we all have a flaw
then fail to represent your life as you know it
god grant you one wish to turn back the time...
correct and create, making sense of

me and my star matthew good night
you know by law when you'll be forgiven
maria my star matthew good night
you know my lord when you'll be forgiven

so they pulled your confidence down with those verbal discrepancies
now and then you'll gain what they've lost through a challenge of unpronounced
pain is only a pulse if you just stop feeling it
you might be able to use the very thing that makes us up

wait, now, here when will you believe?
me i'm merely asking you to help me when did i say to murder?
wait, now, here, please hear me out
time consumer, time consuming, consume me
