Song of the day...



In other news,

Osama Bin Laden is pronounced dead.

It’s a bit disturbing to see people celebrating as if they just won a sport game. Yes, it’s a victory, but it is just tacky to celebrate someone’s death, no matter how vile and vicious that person may be. The cycle of hatred and violence never truly ends unless we learn something from it. Have some class, America.

"I will mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."
~Martin Luther King, Jr.

Before they tie the knot

As the world awaits the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, ladies, remember this:

Never broken

As I watched the devastating images from Japan throughout the night and into the morning, it doesn't take much to see that all our little problems don’t amount to anything in this crazy world. My heart goes out to all those affected.

Hands --- by Jewel

If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we're all OK
And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
And useless in times like these
I won't be made useless
I won't be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear

My hands are small, I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken

Poverty stole your golden shoes
But it didn't steal your laughter
And heartache came to visit me
But I knew it wasn't ever after

We'll fight, not out of spite
For someone must stand up for what's right
'Cause where there's a man who has no voice
There ours shall go singing

My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken

In the end only kindness matters
In the end only kindness matters

I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray

My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken

My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
We are never broken

We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's mind
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's heart
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's eyes
We are God's hands
We are God's hands

In case of emergency...

...please remove your bra.

My hat’s off to a Dr. Elena Bodnar who invented a bra that doubles as an emergency respiratory device.



Silly? Perhaps. Just don’t come begging for the other cup in the event of a world disaster.
