  1. GE commercial had this song on it, and it took me a while to figure out what it was. thanks to youtube i figured it out yesterday. :rantoff: and i havent stopped listening to it since. The wifes going crazy trying to figure out why im listening to it over and over again. im just in that mood i guess.


  2. I meant to reply to this since i first seen it on opening saturday. but alas i've been busy. I LOVED IT. it was different than what were used to, but very familiar at the same time. it had good action, excellent FX, all around entertaining. also after MUCH BEGGING i convinced my wife to go (WHO HATES STARTREK AND ALL SCI FI) She actually really liked it. i think this movie has more than enough to keep startrek fans, and it also can be a good movie for anyone who never really got into it. I know there's plenty of haters here, (I REALLY JUST DONT GET IT) I do understand everyone has different tastes and ideas but some of the reasons i read are just crazy. but ill just leave it at that. i cant wait for it to come out on dvd and for the next movies to come out.

    listening to this over and over again. good song, and soothing for a bad day.


  4. BEFORE YOU THINK, OH BOY. READ THIS AND THINK ABOUT IT, IT MAKES A WHOLE LOT OF SENSE. CAUSE GOD KNOWS WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING BOUT GAS PRICES, THERE GONNA BE A KILLER, NOT JUST AT THE PUMPS BUT EVERYWHERE ELSE CAUSE EVERYBODIES GOT TO MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE IN HIGHER FUEL PRICES. SO READ ON AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN ALL DO THIS AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

     

     

    Now here is something that just might work. We Americans

    HAVE to do something about the fuel prices. The gas war WILL work if we

    can get enough people involved.

     

    I am definitely going to join in. How about you!!!

     

    GAS WAR - an idea that WILL work

    This was originally sent by a retired Coca Cola

    executive . It came from one of his engineer buddies who retired from

    Halliburton. It ' s worth your consideration.

     

    Join the resistance!!!! I hear we are going to

    hit close to $4.00 a gallon by next summer and it might go higher!! Want

    gasoline prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united

    act ion. Phillip Hollsworth offered this good idea.

     

    This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy

    gas on a certain day" campaign that was going around last April or May!

    The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't

    continue to "hurt" ourselves by refusing to buy gas. It was more of an

    inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them.

     

    BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up

    with a plan that can really work Please read on and join with us! By now

    you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $1.50 is super cheap.

    Me too! It is currently $2.79 for regular unleaded in my town. Now that

    the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that

    the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $1.50 - $1.75, we need to take

    aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the

    marketplace..... not sellers. With the price of

    gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take action. The

    only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is if we hit

    someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And, we can do

    that WITHOUT hurting ourselves. How? Since we all rely on our cars, we

    can't just stop buying gas. But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if

    we all act together to force a price war.

     

    Here's the idea:

     

    For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY

    gasoline from the two biggest companies (which now are one), EXXON and

    MOBIL. If they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce

    their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have

    to follow suit.

     

    But to have an impact, we need to reach

    literally millions of Exxon and Mobil gas buyers. It's really simple to

    do! Now, don't wimp out at this point.... keep reading and I'll explain

    how simple it is to reach millions of people.

     

    I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of

    us sends it to at least ten more (30 x 10 =3D 300) ... and those 300

    send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 =3D 3,000)...and so on, by the

    time the message reaches the sixth group of people, we will have reached

    over THREE MILLION consumers. If those three million get excited and

    pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been

    contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it..... THREE

    >>>>HUNDRED MILLION >>>>PEOPLE!!!

     

    Again, all you have to do is send this to 10

    people That's all. (If you don't understand how we can reach 300 million

    and all you have to do is send this to 10 people.... Well, let's face

    it, you just aren't a mathematician. But I am, so trust me on this

    one.)

     

    How long would all that take? If each of us

    sends this e-mail out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all

    300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8

    days!!!

     

    I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that

    much potential, did you?

     

    Acting together we can make a difference. If

    this makes sense to you, please pass this message on. I suggest that we

    not buy from EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.30

    RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN.

     

    THIS CAN REALLY WORK.


  5. simple plan crazy

    Tell me what's wrong with society

    When everywhere I look I see

    Young girls dying to be on TV

    They won't stop 'til

    Diet pills, surgery

    Photoshoped pictures in magazines

    Telling them how they should be

    It doesn't make sense to me

    Is anybody gonna save me?

    Can anybody tell me what's going on?

    Tell me what's going on

    If you open your eyes

    You'll see that something is wrong

     

    I guess things aren't how they used to be

    There's no more normal families

    Parents act like enemies

    Making kids feel like it's World War III

     

    No one cares, no one's there

    I guess we're all just too damn busy

    Money's our first priority

    It doesn't make sense to me

  6. i need answers right quick because tonight is the only night i can do it before friday. hers the question.

     

    this girl ive been talking to that suddenly stopped calling back, well i seen her agian the other day, sunday it was, i was walking down the beach and seen her friend, wound up that i walked past there apt, so her friend was telling me some things about her, and of course i wound up seeing her too, for a few hours i ate dinner with them. anyway im not going to get into what she told me about her, but none the less she has had a lot of thinigs going on latley, with family, health, and her job. she apparently has a hard time with taking help or anything from people, much less ask for it, i know she has been screwed by many people, including family, and quite a few other things. she told me in one of our lenghthy talks that when she gets upset she just doesnt feel like talking to anybody. , so seeing as i havent heard from her again since sunday and tried calling her twice since, and im sure, from our talks, and her friend that she really is interested, i just think between everything she just has a hard time opening up to people too much, in fear of getting hurt, so the question at last is this, i have tickets for friday night baseball game, and i wanna know if i should just go to her apt and ask her face to face if she and her daughters would like to go to the game on friday. so what do you think, should i go and ask, or just leave it as it is, and wait and see if she ever calls me back? kinda lame i know, but i still need lots of advice on women, one for 15 years kinda leaves ya outta practivce. :wow:

    food will swim by, you might live in Upstate New York.

     

    If you're proud that your region makes the national

    news 96 nights each year because Saranac Lake is the coldest spot in the

    nation, and Syracuse gets more snow than any other major city in the US,

    you might live in Upstate New York.

    If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the

    middle of his forehead, you might live in Upstate New York.

     

    If you have worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you

    might live in Upstate New York.

     

    If your town has more bars than churches, you might live in

    Upstate New York.

     

    If you have had a lengthy telephone conversation with

    someone who dialed a wrong number, you might live in Upstate New York.

  8. well i cooked again yesterday at work. it went over really well. i made chicken parm, red, garlic mashed potatoes, green beans and biscuits. for lunch made sausages, with suated peppers and onions, i kinda like cooking. but alas im not supposed to really be cooking seeing that im a probie. but a few of the guys want me to be the cook. made a steak for the cheif too, he doesnt like chicken, being the cheif, i made hime something else. he enjoyed that, and even said that the chicken parm looked and smelled so good he was tempted to try it. so i guess thats a really good thing.


  9. Friends will go out with ya for a night on the town, close friends will bail ya of jail the next morning...true friends will be in the next cell from you, saying " DAMN THAT WAS FREAKIN AWSOME!! "
