Zirpy

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union’s been on strike
He’s down on his luck, it’s tough
So tough
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man
She brings home her pay for love
For love

She says we’ve got to hold on to what we’ve got
It doesn’t make a difference if we make it or not
We’ve got each other and that’s a lot for love
We’ll give it a shot

The Jacqueline Saburido Story

Jacqui called her dad from Austin. She wanted to go to a birthday party that Saturday night outside the city on Lake Travis. The birthday boy, who was Venezuelan, would pick her up. Her father didn’t like the idea and told her to take cab fare with her in case she got stranded. Jacqui had been in Austin for almost a month, studying English at a private language school near the University of Texas. She was happy on her own and was thinking about staying another semester.

Early on Sunday morning, September 19, 1999, Jacqueline, 20, and four friends were on their way home from a birthday party. Reggie Stephey, an 18-year-old star football player, was on his way home from drinking beer with some buddies. On a dark road on the outskirts of Austin, Texas, Reggie’s SUV veered into the Oldsmobile carrying Jacqui and the others. Two passengers in the car were killed at the scene and two were rescued. Within minutes, the car caught fire. Jacqui was pinned in the front seat on the passenger side. She was burned over 60% of her body.

The front of Natalia’s Oldsmobile was twisted and crumpled like an accordion. Broken glass covered the road. In the front seat, Jacqui struggled to free herself. She was pinned between the dashboard and the seat. Flames from the engine were starting to creep toward her face.

She don’t care about my car
She don’t care about my money
And that’s real good because I don’t got alot to spend
But if I did it wouldn’t mean nothin’

She likes me for me
Not because I look like Tyson Beckford
With the charm of Robert Redford
Oozing out my ears
But what she sees
Are my faults and indecisions
My insecure conditions
And the tears upon the pillow that I shed

She don’t care about my big screen
Or my collection of DVD’s
Things like that just never mattered much to her
Plus she don’t watch to much t.v.

This is a video of a girl, Prisa, who is very cool in playing electric guitar. Just watch and listen, she plays metal music! By her look, who would guess she plays metal music?

Prisa plays Hourglass (Lamb Of God cover)

Have you heard of Google’s web browser, Chrome? It’s a cool browser, and everybody’s talking about it right now. Here’s a video that shows Google Chrome’s top 10 features.

Cool, right?

One big company was hiring new staff, the question of the written exam is:
You are driving a car. On one big storm night. You are passing a station.

There are three people who are waiting for the bus:
One old lady who is dying, One doctor who saved your life before, One guy/lady who is someone you have been dreaming to get married to.

You can only take one passenger, which one you will choose? Please explain your reason.

Think about it before you read the following :
I am not sure whether it is some kind of personality test, since every answer has its reason. Old lady is going to die, you should save her first, however, old people always end up dying anyway, you should take the doctor, because the doctor saved my life before, this is the perfect chance to pay him back. At the same time, some people believe that you can always pay the doctor back in the future, but you may never be able to find the perfect lover once you pass this chance.

Within the two hundred candidates, the one who has been hired did not explain his answer, he only simply stated that:
“Give the car key to the doctor, let the doctor take the old lady to the hospital and I stay to wait for the bus with the lady of my dream!”

Everyone I know think the above answer is the best answer, but there is no one (including myself) can think of this answer first. Is that because we never want to give up any advantage we held in our hands (the car key)? Sometimes, we would gain more if we were able to give up our stubbornness, limitations, and advantage.

These are very cool city lights. They’re just amazing!

Planet Mars, The Red Planet is about to be spectacular!

This month and next, Earth is catching up with Mars in an encounter that will culminate in the closest approach between the two planets in recorded history. The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287. Due to the way Jupiter’s gravity tugs on Mars and perturbs its orbit, astronomers can only be
certain that Mars has not come this close to Earth in the Last 5,000 years, but it may be as long as 60,000 years before it happens again.

The encounter will culminate on August 27th when Mars comes to within 34,649,589 miles of Earth and will be (next to the moon) the brightest object in the night sky. It will attain a magnitude of -2.9 and will appear 25.11 arc seconds wide. At a modest 75-power magnification Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye.

Mars will be easy to spot. At the beginning of August it will rise in the east at 10p.m. and reach its azimuth at about 3 a.m. By the end of August when the two planets are closest, Mars will rise at nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky at 12:30a.m. That’s pretty convenient to see something that no human being has seen in recorded history. So, mark your calendar at the beginning of August to see Mars grow progressively brighter and brighter throughout the month.

Share this with your children and grandchildren.

NO ONE ALIVE TODAY WILL EVER SEE THIS AGAIN
