Herb Alpert - This Guy's in Love with You - YouTube: ""
a little lady, as they say "the love of my life", "the one you never forget". . . she was always on the verge of leaving me, and eventually she did.
on one such ocassion, i'd actually seen it coming, i fully expected that she'd finally had enough and she surprised me. she stuck around and i didn't immediately see why, she was a gorgeous woman, and i wasn't half the loser that i'd eventually become, but i was well on my way, and the signs were evident . . . but she stayed, she stayed much to my perplexity . . .
one day out of the blue, she tells me that she loved me because of Herb Alpert and Burt Bacharach.
huh?
she meant that this song, this song, reminded her of me. . . .
so, thank you Burt & Herb . . .
she eventually did leave, when i no longer expected her to . . . life surprises us this way
. . . and my heart keeps breaking.

"50 Banned Books That Everyone Should Read
By Britney Wilkins
As long as there have been books, there have been people opposed to what is said in some of those books. Authors who challenge the accepted norms in their literature are often the target of angry people who do not understand or appreciate their literature. The following books are excellent examples of great literature that has become banned or challenged in an attempt to shield the public from what some see as inappropriate."

Journey to Perplexity
Journey to Perplexity:
"But God who oft descends to visit men
Unseen, and through thir habitations walks
To mark thir doings, them beholding soon,
Comes down to see thir Citie, ere the Tower
Obstruct Heav’n Towrs, and in derision sets
Upon thir Tongues a various Spirit to rase
Quite out thir Native Language, and instead
To sow a jangling noise of words unknown:
Forthwith a hideous gabble rises loud
Among the Builders; each to other calls
Not understood, till hoarse, and all in rage,
As mockt they storm; great laughter was in Heav’n
And looking down, to see the hubbub strange
And hear the din; thus was the building left
Ridiculous, and the work Confusion nam’d.
from Paradise Lost Book XII"
{if you have not yet discovered JOURNEY INTO PERPLEXITY i highly recommend that you visit the blog. i seldom know what to expect but i'm always pleasantly surprised. go ahead, take a look.}[ero]

Classwars Blog: For Brian Wilson
This stops a trainload of bullets,
Destined for Central American hearts.
Now there is blood on the heavy wheels,
And a man gives his legs for peace.
Oh shame for those who stand upright,
And pay for murders out of sight.
