Ecstacy is all you need
Living in the big machine now
Oh, you're so vain
Now your world is way too fast
Nothin's real and nothing lasts
And I'm aware
I'm in love but you don't care
Turn your anger into lust
I'm still here, but you don't trust at all
And I'll be waiting
Love and sex and loneliness
Take what's yours and leave the rest
So I'll survive
God, it's good to be alive
And I'm torn in pieces
I'm lyin there waiting for
My heart is reeling
I'm blind and waiting for you
Silly love with all your sins
Wait and stop and I begin
And I'll - I'll be waitin'
Livin' like a house on fire
What you fear is your desire
It's hard to deal
I still love the way you feel
Now this angry little girl
Drownin in this petty world
And I'm who you run to
Swallow all your bitter pills
That's what makes you beautiful
You're all a lie
I won't leave what you ain't got
I'm blind and waiting for you
I'm blind and waiting for you
And I can't believe it's coming true
God, it's good to be alive
I'm still here and waitin' for you
And I can't believe it's coming true
I'm blind and waiting for you
Living in the big machine now
Oh, you're so vain
Now your world is way too fast
Nothin's real and nothing lasts
And I'm aware
I'm in love but you don't care
Turn your anger into lust
I'm still here, but you don't trust at all
And I'll be waiting
Love and sex and loneliness
Take what's yours and leave the rest
So I'll survive
God, it's good to be alive
And I'm torn in pieces
I'm lyin there waiting for
My heart is reeling
I'm blind and waiting for you
Silly love with all your sins
Wait and stop and I begin
And I'll - I'll be waitin'
Livin' like a house on fire
What you fear is your desire
It's hard to deal
I still love the way you feel
Now this angry little girl
Drownin in this petty world

| What Irrational Number Are You? | |||
You are e Of all the irrational numbers, you are the most intense. By nature you are powerful, although sometimes you can spiral out of control. You are good with money; the interest seems to just compound whenever you are near. When someone uses the word "exponential" they are probably talking about you. In some ways you and φ are a nearly perfect match. Not to mention how attractive φ is. But then, there is the remarkable π... Your lucky number is approximately 2.71828183 | |||

Your life has seemed so hard

Stop pretending
When they say that your nothing
Are you sad, are you holding yourself

Please forgive me

Free Ringtones!
OK. As long as you live in North America and have a cell phone that can receive SMS messages, this can benefit you.
I have this little program that can generate and compose ringtones and convert them to SMS messages.
So, I'm offering you free ringtones. Just gimmie the name of the song you want, your phone number. your phone brand and model and I'll send it to you at some point.
CHECK to make sure your phone is supported first. Update: I can only give you key in and SMS. So if your phone only supports WAP, u're outta luck
The only cost to you is maybe receiving the SMS message. Check your cellular plan to see if you can receive SMS messages for free.
(Realize, it usually costs money to get ringtones)

From ma sista:
It's not the fault of the student if he/she fails, because there are only
365 days in the year.
Typical academic year for a student.
1) Sundays - 52. There are 52 Sundays in a year, which are days of rest
according to the Christian religion, which in this PC era we cannot afford to deny to them. Everyone else may claim also.
Balance: 365 - 52 = 313 days.
2) Summer holidays. 50 days, (more or less depending on regional variants) where the weather is incredibly hot, rendering it physically impossible to study.
Balance: 263 days.
3) 8 hours daily sleep, the required hours for peak mental and physical health adds to a total of 122 days.
Balance: 141 days.
4) 1 hour a day for play, or physical activity, necessary to stimulate blood flow for both mind and body means 15 days total.
Balance: 126 days.
5) Two hours daily for food and other delicacies (chew properly to aid digestion and swallowing) means 30 days.
Balance: 96 days.
6) 1 hour for talking a day, for a total of 15 days. (man is a social animal you know)
Balance: 81 days.
7) Exam days per year at least 35.
Balance: 46 days.
8) Quarterly, half-yearly and festival holidays - approximately 40 if we are to celebrate our religious diversity and recognise the relevance of religions other than Christianity.
Balance: 6 days.
9) Allow three days for possible sickness.
Balance: 3 days.
10) Movies and necessary functions (ie, afternoon at Grandparents, time spent in court) at least 2 days.
Balance: 1 day.
11) That one day is your birthday, recognised worldwide as a day when you don't have to do anything if you don't want to!!!
HOW ON EARTH ARE WE MEANT TO SUCCEED WHEN THE WORLD SETS US UP FOR FAILURE?!?

The Top 12 Things Overheard from Klingon Programmers
(Only geeks will fully appreciate this)
12) "Specifications are for the weak and timid!"
11) "This machine is a piece of GAGH! I need dual Pentium processors if I am to do battle with this code!"
10) "You cannot really appreciate Dilbert unless you've read it in the original Klingon."
9) "Indentation?! - I will show you how to indent when I indent your skull!"
8) "What is this talk of 'release'? Klingons do not make software 'releases'. Our software 'escapes' leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake."
7) "Klingon function calls do not have 'parameters' - they have 'arguments' - and they ALWAYS WIN THEM."
6) "Debugging? Klingons do not debug. Our software does not coddle the weak."
5) "I have challenged the entire quality assurance team to a Bat-Leth contest. They will not concern us again."
4) "A TRUE Klingon Warrior does not comment his code!"
3) "By filing this bug report you have challenged the honor of my family. Prepare to die!"
2) "You question the worthiness of my code? I should kill you where you stand!"
1) "Our users will know fear and cower before our software! Ship it! Ship it and let them flee like the dogs they are!"

To all my family and friends, old and new, I wish you all enough...
This is wonderful.... share it with someone who is special in your life!
At an airport, I overheard a father and his daughter in their last moments together. They had announced her plane's departure and
standing near the door she said, "Daddy, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough too,
Daddy."
They kissed good-bye and she left. He walked over towards the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry.
I tried not to intrude on his privacy, but he welcomed me in by asking, "Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?"
"Yes, I have," I replied. Saying that brought back memories I had of expressing my love and appreciation for all my Dad had done for me. Recognizing that his days were limited, I took the time to tell him face to face how much he meant to me. So I knew what this man was experiencing.
"Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?" I asked. "I am old and she lives much too far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is, her next trip back will be for my funeral," he said.
"When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, 'I wish you enough, may I ask what that means?"
He began to smile. "That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone."
He paused for a moment and looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, he smiled even more. "When we said, 'I wish you enough,' we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with enough good things to sustain them"
He continued and then, turning toward me, he shared the following as if he were reciting it from memory:
I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough "Hellos" to get you through the final "Good-bye"
He then began to sob and walked away.
My friends and loved ones, I wish you enough. They say, "It takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but an entire lifetime to forget them"
Send this phrase to the people you'll never forget and also remember to send it to the person who sent it to you. It's a short message to let them know that you'll never forget them.
If you don't send it to anyone, it means that you're in a hurry and you need to slow down to enjoy what is around you, the people around you.
I wish you enough.
