I wake up in the mornin' in a lonely ice-could bed
Thinkin' about the nightmare that just played in my
head
I think of all the things I miss
Like moments that we shared a kiss so dear
I'm so mis'rable without you, it's almost like you're
here
I search your house for coffee, but it's to no avail
The day's not even started, it seems it's shot to hell
The jeans I'm wearin' look like dirt
As I put on my old wrinkled shirt, it smells like beer
I'm so mis'rable without you, it's almost like you're
here

She used to cry when I'd come home late
She couldn't buy the lies I told
All she wanted was to be needed
Someone that she could call her own
The love I know I took for granted
Until she walked out of my door
Too little too late to say I'm sorry
Because she's not cryin' anymore
I hear she's really doin' well now
She's picked herself up off the ground
I wasn't there when I was needed
But I was there to let her down
Sometimes you know I feel so foolish
If I knew then what I know now
Another tear would never fall
Because I'd give our love my all
If we could work things out somehow
3.
When I was just a little boy,
I wandered through the woods
Searchin' for my daddy through the pines.
I guess I took a wrong turn
Somewhere along the way
But the Bible said
"Seek and ye shall find"
Daylight turned to darkness
Adventure turned to fear
And, when I found my way back home
His words I still can hear...
Stand Still!
When you're in the dark.
Listen to your heart
And pray for Gods will
Stand Still
Adrift in the wind...
Your voice within
Will be your best friend
Stand Still... and pray
Stand Still

Here I sit
Nobody with no one
And bein me
Ain't really all that fun
And leavin her wasn't very smart
Admitting I was wrong wouldn't be so hard
If it was cool to be a fool
I'd be the hippest guy around
If heartache made you famous
I'd be known from town to town
If tears were made of pennys and a cold beer brought
her back
My bank account and self esteem would both be in the
black
If some Hollywood producer made a movie that was sad
About some guy who lost
The best thing he ever had
Hey I could be a star
If it was cool to be a fool
5.
You got me walking up on air
And I'm afraid of heights
You fill my days with thoughts of you
That rock my sleep at night
I see another side of me
When you come into view
I hate the way I love you
But I do
I hate the way I miss you
Everytime you're not around
And the way you got me thinkin'
It's time to settle down
I tried to fight the feeling
But this time there's no use
I hate the way I love you
But I do

I watched him take the two strike call:
He hadn't tried to swing at all.
I guess he'd had all that he could take,
He walked away, for goodness sake.
His father's voice was loud an' mean:
"You won't amount to anything."
That little boy quit tryin',
He just walked away.
There were teardrops on his face.
Tell me, how would you feel?
You'd probably give up too,
If nobody believed in you enviada por edschedule
For those times when you need a little encouragement....
I know life can be discouraging at times......
So I'm giving you this.....
I want you to read it every time you feel overwhelmed
So that it may encourage you to move forward
And look beyond your troubles
If you ever feel like giving up..
Don''t...
If you think you can't do something
Try!
If you try and fail ,then try again
if you don't, you may always wonder why you gave up so easily
Don't let life pass you by
the only way to get a head
is to hold your head upright
Try not to be discouraged when things get in your way
just climb that mountain
inch by inch
And take life day by day
Eventually you will find the strength you need to look towards those heights
Not only to scale that mountain , but to reach its mighty peak
leaving whatever you think it's worth believing in
And never stop until you feel you have done all that you can
to secure those dreams
I have such faith in you
and I know you are capable of achieving anything you want
Only remember that I have such faith in you!
The exact origins of the Tango are not clear, but it does go back well over 100 years. Beginning just before the 20th Century, the Tango evolved, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and in Montevideo, Uruguay. 'The Tango', is Argentina's (and Uruguay's) contribution to the world of dance. It should be noted that Montivideo, Uruguay, and Buenos Aires, Argentina, are "twin cities", located, on opposite shores at the mouth of the Rio De La Plata. The original Candombe rhythms were heard in both cities, and the "Tango' was, and still is, a part of both cultures.
The Tango time sequence begins in the Barrios (poor, working class neighborhoods), and then moves to the Bordellos, to the elite ballrooms of Europe, and to New York in the 1920s. Tango has been steadily growing into the 21st Century, - more popular than ever. While no one has yet been able to specifically trace the origin of the Tango, one thing is certain, the Tango was made by immigrants to Argentina and to Uruguay. Even the 'Bandoneon' (a button accordion) is an immigrant, having been invented in Germany (Heinrich Band -ergo 'Bandoneon') and sent to Argentina. Three major types of music fall under the general family of Argentine Tango: Tango, Milonga and Vals, -with many subsets.
Etymology.
We do not know the exact origin of the word "Tango". In the 1890s, the word "Tango" first appeared connoting a specific dance. It is now generally believed to have been used in the old "Candombes", or religious festivals, held by the descendents of Black slaves. During these festivals (Candombes), there was much dancing to the rhythm of the 'Tang" drums, and curiously, participants used the word 'Tang' for everything, -the dance itself, the drums used, and even the places where these religious rituals were carried out. It is quite probable that the "Tang" became todays "Tango". (Needless to say, the 'Whites' thought the dancing to be immoral.)
Music
The music is derived from the fusion of music from Europe, the South American Milonga, and African rhythms. It was a mixing of Andulusian Habaneras, Italian Mezzogiornos, Creole "milongas" (an early form of dance and music) of the Argentine Pampas, and the 'Candombe' drum rhythms of former African slaves, then living in both Uruguay and Argentina. The principal instruments used during these dances were the 'Tamboriles' (drums with a single skin nailed to the drumhead and played with one drumstick and one hand, or with both hands alone),
the turn of the century, a very large emigration from Europe to the New World began. In 1901, most of the 126,000 immigrants who arrived in Buenos Aires remained in Buenos Aires. (Between 1911 and 1913, the population of Buenos Aires increased from 2 million to 8 million people.) The ratio of men to women was 10 to 1. The sad lyrics of early tangos reflect the fact that, during these 'teen' years, life was Hell in many ways for these immigrants.) About 40% were Italian, and the language and the culture of Argentina was influenced by them. Jewish immigrants, though far fewer in numbers, were contributing to the music of Argentina
Dance beginnings, - In Argentina and Uruguay.
In the 1870s and '80s, Brothels ('enramadas' and 'quilombos') were an integral part of life in Buenos Aires and in Montevideo, - for both men and women. They were meeting places
to hear: to receive sound with the ears
to listen: to try to hear
You are very good at languages. That's obvious, because you already speak one language very well - your own! And if you can learn and speak one language well, then you can certainly learn and speak one or more other languages.
But did you ever ask yourself: "How did I learn my own language?" In fact, you never really "learned" it at all - you just started speaking it. One day, when you were about two or three years old, you started speaking your language. A few words at first, not full sentences. But you spoke. And very soon you made progress without even thinking about it. It was like magic!
But it wasn't magic. It was the result of hearing. For two to three years before you spoke, you heard people speaking your language all day, and maybe all night. You heard people speaking your language. Maybe you listened to people, but more importantly you heard. them. Then, as if by magic, you started to speak. All that hearing was necessary for you to start speaking. For two to three years words went IN to your head. Then words came OUT of your head! That is why hearing (and listening to) English as much as possible is so important to you now. The more English you put in, the more you'll get out!
So how can you hear a lot of English when you're not in an English-speaking country or family? Fortunately, there are many ways of hearing English in almost all countries of the world.
Radio
You can receive English language radio in most countries. Two of the best international networks are the BBC World Service and Voice of America. Both of them have special programmes for learners of English. You can find information about times and frequencies for your country on their web sites. Click here for links to radio stations.
Television
TV is an excellent resource for hearing and listening to English. The pictures help you understand what is being said. If you don't have access to English-language TV, you may be able to watch TV on Internet.
Internet
It is now a lot easier to hear English by Internet. If you're reading this at your computer, you can probably listen to some English-language radio news right now, without even moving! To be able to listen to radio on the Internet, you'll need to have special software called a "player" installed in your computer. Most sites work with two players - the RealPlayer from RealNetworks and the Windows Media Player from Microsoft. Don't worry. Both these players are free and you may already have them installed on your computer.
Music/songs
Songs in English are everywhere, even on foreign-language radio and TV stations. Listen to them often. Buy some cassettes or CDs, or make recordings, and try to write the words for an entire song. But choose one that is not too difficult. That means it should be reasonably slow, and with real words sung clearly. Some pop songs are very unclear and are difficult even for native English-speakers to understand fully!
Cinema
Outside the English-speaking world, many large cities have cinemas that show films in English, usually with sub-titles. Make it a habit to go to these films. If you need to read the sub-titles, at least you'll be hearing English even if you don't understand it.
Video
Video has one really great advantage. You can play it again . . . and again enviada por edschedule

Love and peace are all we need
see this messege:
Robin Wlliams, wearing a shirt that says "I love New York" in Arabic.
You gotta love Robin Williams...... Even if he's nuts! Leave it to Robin Williams to come up with the perfect plan. What we need now is for our UN Ambassador to stand up and repeat this message.
Robin Williams' plan...(Hard to argue with this logic!)
"I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a plan for peace. So, here's one plan."
1) "The US will apologize to the world for our "interference" in their affairs, past &present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic, Hussein, and the rest of those "good ole boys", we will never "interfere" again.
2) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany , South Korea, the Middle East, and the Philippines. They don't want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No one allowed sneaking through holes in the fence.
3) All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave.We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of whom or where they are. They're illegal!!! France will welcome them.
4) All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit!!!! No one from a terrorist nation will be allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it yourself and don't hide here. Asylum would never be available to anyone. We don't need any more cab
drivers or 7-11 cashiers.
5) No foreign "students" over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they don't attend classes, they get a "D" and it's back home baby.
6) The US will make a strong effort to become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing nonpolluting sources of energy but will require
a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while.
.7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go someplace else. They can go somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)
8) If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not "interfere." They/We can pray to whomever, for seeds, rain, cement or whatever the need. Besides most of what we give them or they give us
(Katrina) is stolen or given to the army. The people who need it most get very little, if anything.
9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island someplace. We don't need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the building would make a
good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.
10) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no one can call us "Ugly Americans" any longer. The Language we speak is ENGLISH...learn it...or LEAVE...Now, isn't that a winner of a plan?
"The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses." She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, 'you want a piece of me?' "

Here are some silly English mistakes from people who really should know better:-
American Airlines On an American Airlines packet of nuts - INSTRUCTIONS - OPEN PACKET, EAT NUTS.
Clairol A hair products company, Clairol, introduced the "Mist Stick", a curling iron, into Germany only to find out that mist is slang for manure. Not too many people had use for the manure stick.
Coca Cola When Coca Cola was first introduced into China they named it Ke-Kou-Ke-La. Unfortunately, the Coke company did not discover until after thousands of signs had been printed that the phrase means "bite the wax tadpole" or "female horse stuffed with wax", depending on the dialect.
Coke then researched 40,000 Chinese characters and found a close phonetic equivalent: Ko-Kou-Ko-Le, which can be roughly translated as "happiness in the mouth." (have you seen what it can do to teeth?).
Dairy Association The American Dairy Association's huge success with its campaign "Got Milk?" prompted them to expand advertising to Mexico. It was soon brought to their attention that the Spanish translation read "Are you lactating?"
Electrolux Scandinavian vacuum manufacturer Electrolux used the following in an American ad campaign: Nothing sucks like an Electrolux. But in America if something 'sucks' it means it is really bad.
I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.
Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant
The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement
Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead.
Health is merely the slowest possible rate in which one can die.
The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing UFOs like they used to?
Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.
All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird.
