The worst thing about ideological sloganeering is that it obscures, rather than clarifies, the facts of a situation.

Breaking Benjamin- Forget It
(As heard in the films National Treasure and Band Camp and the TV series Smallville)
To listen, click on the red button, top right of main page
Vocalist Ben Burnley: “It's very cool-both structurally and melodically. It's subtle, but listen closely and you'll hear the song move up a half-step every verse and chorus. As a vocalist, that's really challenging because it forces me to sing in a different key every time. It's definitely unusual, and had it not been for Billy Corgan, I probably never would've tried something like that.”

“When I heard this song...It reminded me of my exhusband when he got hooked on Meth.And its like reading his mind and looking into our life. I cried like a baby and now its my favorite song. I write poetry alot and this is a Hallmark in music.... When it gets to the part about a page in a spiral note book, its almost like they had read my journal.It still gives me goosebumps. Thank you so much for comming up with this brilliant song. The very , very best to you on every project that comes your way....awesome voice!!!!!!!! Cant wait to see what you come up with next.. Marcie aka/Mac
- Marcie, Blairsville, GA”

Click below for lyrics

It's a crime you let it happen to me
Nevermind, I'll let it happen to you
Out of mind, forget it there's nothing to lose
But my mind and all the things I wanted

Everytime I get it I throw it away
It's a sign, I get it, I wanna stay
By the time I lose it I'm not afraid
I'm alive but I can Surely fake it

How can I believe when this cloud hangs over me
You're the part of me that I don't wanna see

Forget it

There's a place I see you follow me
Just a taste of all that might come to be
I'm alone but holding breath you can breathe
To question every answer counted

Just fade away
Please let me stay
Caught in your way

Forget it

Just fade away
Please let me stay
Caught in your way

It's a crime you let it happen to me
Out of mind, I love it, easy to please
Nevermind, forget it, just memories
On a page inside a spiral notebook

Just fade away
Please let me stay
Caught in your way
I can live forever here

Forget it

How can I believe when this cloud hangs over me
You're a part of me that I don't wanna see

I can live forever here

(Lose/Lose situation for Obama)

Top ten things Republicans will say if the stimulus plan is successful:

1.“The economy was going to turn around anyways- That's how capitalism works.”
2. “I was just following the will of the voters.”
3. “It's not working! ! What about this part?”
4. “I had to go along with my constituents...”
5.“It would have happened faster if you had listened to us.”
6. “Well, define 'successful'....”
7. “It could have been done for so much less in a real bipartisan way."

8. “"Without the concessions we forced on the bill it would have taken much longer."

(Your comments for the rest- I'll post the best.)

“O Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountainside...”

Occasionally, we select your most interesting comments and ideas, and incorporate them into a feature called YOUR TWO CENTS. It is the writings of you readers, un-edited (unless they make no sense as written) and posted here, for all the world of cyberspace to see. Vincent Donofrio (the other one) a friend of mine who is a big Boston sports fan living in the land of the Lakers just sent this to me.

Click below to read, "Your Two Cents"

I would like to share with your blog readers the strong belief I have that there is someone the Boston Celtics need to sign in order to have a chance of winning another title this season.

Right now they are talking of signing the Knicks' Stephon Marbury. That's cool- sign him- but you cant win a championship by simply adding Marbury. You have a good point guard in Rondo..what you dont have is a good man in the middle. Perkins and big Baby are not even adequate centers. If they were white they'd already be out of the league ( not trying to be racist here).

Someone who's available right now is Brad Miller of the Sacramento Kings. He is exactly the type of player the Celts need at center. He's 7', 260 lbs, excellent shooter (50% career) 9 rebounds and 4 assists( great passing center ala Walton .)

He's also very rowdy and will knock you on your ass. He's not afraid of anyone.

The best thing that could have happened to the Celts this regular season was losing twice to the Lakers. This will wake people up to the fact that they have to do something quickly or they are done for. Danny Ainge has to get off his nervous behind Is it possible he's doing drugs these days? (Please don't start that rumor as he deserves better, but he is sure acting frightened).

I dont' think the Celts will make it out of the East if they don't add a real center ( think 7'4 Llgauskis of Cleveland or Dwight Howard of Orlando)

Ok, I said my piece. The ball's in your hands now.

Trying to open that stupid little bottle of Tylenol? Spending valuable time you'll never get back looking for a scissors or something- anything- sharp enough to get the kid's toy out of that thick plastic wrapping it's encased in? Almost breaking a tooth getting the new toothbrush out of that little plastic coffin it's buried in? How many of us have cursed as we spent countless wasted minutes getting that vitamin C bottle open- or trying to open a stupid CD?

Anyone over the age of 30 knows It wasn't always that way. Not until this guy came along..
