I Dedicate This Song To The Class Of 2010

Leave Right Now by Will Young




I'm here, just like I said
Though it's breaking every rule I've ever made
My racing heart, is just the same;
Why make it strong to break it once again?
And I'd love to say "I do";
Give everything to you
But I could never now be true

So I say...
I think I better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now
Feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now

I'm here, so please explain
Why you're opening up a healing wound again
I'm a little more careful, perhaps it shows
But if I lose the highs at least I'm spared the lows
Now I tremble in your arms
What could be the harm?
To feel my spirit calm?

So I say...
I think I better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now
Feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now

I wouldn't know how to say
How good it feels seeing you today
I see you've got your smile back
Like you say - you're right on track
But you may never know why
Once bitten, twice as shy
If I'm proud, perhaps I should explain
I couldn't bear to loose you again

Yes, I will.
I think I better leave right now
Feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper...
I think I better leave right now.

Random Disney Video

I have been listening to Disney music all day, so I thought I would post a random Disney Video. It's not long, but its cool.

Rene Descartes

Here are two brief sayings from the philosopher who dedicated his life to question everything he knew. When we first started studying this in English, I thought it would be boring and just wanted to get through it. Well, I now love it. Philosophers are very interesting. I recommend reading the whole article.

These are from:

The Philosophical Writings of Descartes, Vol. 1
Discourse on Method


1. "But immediately I noticed that while I was trying thus to think everything false, it was necessary that I, who was thinking this, was something. And observing that this truth "I am thinking, therefore I exist" was so firm and sure that all the most extravagant suppositions of the sceptics were incapable of shaking it, I decided that I could accept it without scruple as the first principle of the philosophy I was seeking."


2. "From this I knew I was a substance whose whole essence or nature is simply to think, and which does not require any place, or depend on any material thing, in order to exist."


Wow. I'm pretty sure I could write a whole sermon just on the second one. Amazing, right?

Let Folks Go

I think we all can learn from this!

Step By Step

Every positive change, even a big one, begins with little steps. Whether hitting the road a few minutes earlier, pushing yourself over one more hill, or fine-tuning an attitude, you've taken a small but important step. The more you take, the farther you go.

It really is that simple.

Stupid Questions?

"The only stupid question, is the one you don't ask." -ChaCha answer.

I have always said, there is no such thing as a stupid question. I, myself, ask a ton of questions everyday. I probably ask the most "unique" questions. Questions are a way for us to learn, and it is a way for others to teach. It is also a way for us to teach, and others to learn. But sometimes, questions can go too far.

I recently got a job at ChaCha. ChaCha is basically a search engine. You text any question you have to 242-242 and we, Guides, answer them. It is a totally free service. ChaCha Guides also give directions, horoscopes, weather, business addresses/phone numbers, and sports scores. Trust me, there is no question that hasn't been asked, or that we can't get the answer to.

You probably can guess where I am going with this, and I'm sure you wondered it yourself. So I will answer that questions for you. (unpaid this time..)

Yes. We get a lot of dirty questions. We also get a lot of personal questions. You can ask for our name. We will answer. You can ask where we live. We will answer. The list goes on.

Admit it, you have had that sexually curious question you have been wanting to ask. So ask. It's OK. We are here for you, and in a way, to make you more knowledgeable. But a lot of people take it too far. Way too far. More than half my questions are dirty. And not like "What is this..?" Or "How do you do this..?" They are like: "Will you..." and such. Yes, they are just immature kids asking these. It really doesn't bother me. It is a little awkward however. I just kinda find it funny. They think ChaCha is some computer researching their answers. Nope. ChaCha has real people answering your questions! Embarrassed?

So the next time you have a question, please text ChaCha at: 242-242 . Its free. And fun.
