The Depressing YouTube Videos of the Day

In 1985 a man named Paul Hardcastle wrote and arranged (and remixed, several times) a song about the Vietnam War.
Here’s two of the music videos. Watch. Think.

Now, having thought about it, what do you think a song about the “War on Terrorism” and the “War in Iraq” would sound like?

Mama's Family

Mama’s Family – Season One Episode One
Vint And The Kids Move In
http://video.aol.com/video/tv-mamas-family-vint-and-the-kids-move-in/1813811
The first episode. I watched it a few minutes ago, through AOL and WB’s In2TV. I had never heard of this service/program until tonight, when I saw a commercial on ION. So, I crept downstairs, hopped on the computer and went searching. I clicked through the list and decided to watch this episode, for I had never seen it. What a treat it was.
I think I’ll go back and see what other shows are available.

questions without answers

So, why am I trying? Really? Why am I trying to go to school? Will I really better myself? Will I really become something? Will I really be able to achieve the dreams that I once had? Will I really be able to be happy?
I sit here, and I wonder about these things, and I fear that nothing will happen That nothing will come of any of this. Tat I shall remain trapped. That I shall continue o be unhappy. That I will never feel the joys and aspirations that my heart so desires.
I think and wonder whether I should just give up this dream, and whether I should go crawling on my hands and knees, back to that factory.
Why did I leave?
What am I doing?
What’s wrong with me?

Pet Camel Kills Australian Woman

A woman in Australia has been killed by her pet camel after the animal may have tried to have sex with her.
Story available from BBC News at: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6954728.stm

According to the story, a sixty-year-old woman was killed Saturday when her pet camel felt a bit amorous, and decided to show his affection.

In a related matter, I am feeling a bit amorous myself, and wish to send the following song as a special message to my lover…

Quotes

Sometimes when you look back on a situation, you realize it wasn’t all you thought it was. A beautiful girl walked into your life. You fell in love. Or did you? Maybe it was only a childish infatuation, or maybe just a brief moment of vanity.
    
    Henry Bromel, Northern Exposure, The Big Kiss, 1991
Just because you love someone doesn’t mean you have to be involved with them. Love is not a bandage to cover wounds.
    Hugh Elliott, Standing Room Only weblog, February 16, 2004
Is love supposed to last throughout all time, or is it like trains changing at random stops. If I loved her, how could I leave her? If I felt that way then, how come I don’t feel anything now?
    Jeff Melvoin, Northern Exposure, Altered Egos, 1993
By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you’ll be happy. If you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher.
    Socrates (469 BC – 399 BC)
But seduction isn’t making someone do what they don’t want to do. Seduction is enticing someone into doing what they secretly want to do already.
