We die, we die rich with lovers and tribes,

 tastes we have swallowed,

bodies we have entered and swum up like rivers,

fears we have hidden in like this wretched cave.

 I want all this marked on my body.

 We are the real countries,

not the boundaries drawn on maps with names of powerful men.

I know you will come and carry me out into the palace of winds,

that’s all I’ve wanted- to walk in such a place with you,

with friends, on the earth without maps.

I like all 3 of the “Ice Age” films.Not the best animated films ever made, but they are enjoyable.The Crash and  Eddie characters introduced in the 2cd film are just as funny as they were before. I enjoyed and   found myself laughing several times in this film.Kids, families will enjoy the film. It was great. as good as the first 2 but different in is’s own way. Manny is wonderful. Keep hearing Raymond talking. Of course they get into all kinds to trouble. If you watched 1 & 2 you have to watch 3.

This is  an amazing show.I have always been a big fan of Tim Roth so when I heard he was doing a show I was very excited and I was hoping he would have strong writers to back him up. Lie to me is an excellent show with a highly original idea. Now Tim Roth is the human lie detector. The film is well acted and the chemistry between Tim Roth and his partner is excellent. The writing in the show makes the show seem more on edge as well and I am anxious for more. Lie to me is a wonderful show so far And I can’t wait to see where they go with it this season.

Years ago Michael and I were having a deep conversation about life in general. 

I can’t recall the exact subject matter but he may have been questioning me about the circumstances of my Fathers Death.

At some point he paused, he stared at me very intensely and he stated with an almost calm certainty, “I am afraid that I am going to end up like him, the way he did.”

I promptly tried to deter him from the idea, at which point he just shrugged his shoulders and nodded almost matter of fact as if to let me know, he knew what he knew and that was kind of that.

14 years later   I am sitting here watching on the news an ambulance leaves the driveway of his home, the big gates, the crowds outside the gates, the coverage, the crowds outside the hospital, the Cause of death and what may have led up to it and the memory of this conversation hit me, as did the unstoppable tears.

A predicted ending by him, by loved ones and by me, but what I didn’t predict was how much it was going to hurt when it finally happened.

The person I failed to help is being transferred right now to the LA County Coroners office for his Autopsy.

All of my indifference and detachment that I worked so hard to achieve over the years has just gone into the bowels of hell and right now I am gutted.

I am going to say now what I have never said before because I want the truth out there for once.

Our relationship was not “a sham” as is being reported in the press. It was an unusual relationship yes, where two unusual people who did not live or know a “Normal life” found a connection, perhaps with some suspect timing on his part. Nonetheless, I do believe he loved me as much as he could love anyone and I loved him very much.

I wanted to “save him” I wanted to save him from the inevitable which is what has just happened.

His family and his loved ones also wanted to save him from this as well but didn’t know how and this was 14 years ago. We all worried that this would be the outcome then.

At that time, In trying to save him, I almost lost myself.

He was an incredibly dynamic force and power that was not to be underestimated.

When he used it for something good, It was the best and when he used it for something bad, It was really, REALLY bad.

Mediocrity was not a concept that would even for a second enter Michael Jackson’s being or actions.

 I became very ill and emotionally/ spiritually exhausted in my quest to save him from certain self-destructive behavior and from the awful vampires and leeches he would always manage to magnetize around him.

I was in over my head while trying.

I had my children to care for, I had to make a decision.

The hardest decision I have ever had to make, which was to walk away and let his fate have him, even though I desperately loved him and tried to stop or reverse it somehow.

After the Divorce, I spent a few years obsessing about him and what I could have done different, in regret.

Then I spent some angry years at the whole situation.

At some point, I truly became Indifferent, until now.

As I sit here overwhelmed with sadness, reflection and confusion at what was my biggest failure to date, watching on the news almost play by play The exact Scenario I saw happen on August 16th, 1977 happening again right now with Michael (A sight I never wanted to see again) just as he predicted, I am truly, truly gutted.

Any ill experience or words I have felt towards him in the past has just died inside of me along with him.

He was an amazing person and I am lucky to have gotten as close to him as I did and to have had the many experiences and years that we had together.

I desperately hope that he can be relieved from his pain, pressure and turmoil now.

He deserves to be free from all of that and I hope he is in a better place or will be.

 I also hope that anyone else who feels they have failed to help him can be set free because he hopefully finally is.

   The World is in shock but somehow he knew exactly how his fate would be played out some day more than anyone else knew, and he was right.

I really needed to say this right now, thanks for listening.

I had my fear going in, but it was all shattered. What a blast. This is a must-see for every MJ fan and even non-fans to understand why he was so popular and deserved every bit of the title King of the Pop. A consummate artist, a perfectionist, and a visionary. The film is overflowed with his energy, passion, and dedication. If the rehearsals could be this good and engaging, one could only imagine what the concerts would’ve been. His voice sometimes showed his age, but his dance moves were not, at all. Also the young female guitarist was not just good looking, but crazily good with the guitar as well. Smooth Criminal segment is probably my favorite, but they’re all very excellent. I don’t feel the film is exploiting his death in any way. It’s simply paying the tribute and gives fans something they deserve to see.

The girls  almost  all like the sweet snack. In these many dazzling varieties, I like Tiramisu  best.

With regard to the origin of tiramisu, spread the story of a warm .
During World War II, is about an Italian soldier has been sent to the battlefield but at home with nothing . His wife prepared to give him dry food .
To eat at home all the biscuits, bread made into a whole cake in
Tiramisu cake that is called .Whenever the soldiers on the battlefield will think of him eating tiramisu home ,remember loved ones at home centers

if we hold on together

don’t lose your way
when each passing day
you’ve come so far, don’t throw it away
live believing, dreams are for weaving
wonders are waiting to start
live your story
faith, hope, and glory
hold to the truth in your heart

if we hold on together
i know our dreams will never die
dreams see us through to forever
where clouds roll by for you and i
souls and the wind must learn how to bend
seek out a star, hold on to the end
valley, mountain, there is a fountain
washes our tears all away
words are swaying, someone is praying
please let us come home to stay

if we hold on together
i know our dreams will never die
dreams see us through to forever
where clouds roll by for you and i
when we are out there in the dark
we’ll dream about the sun
in the dark we’ll feel the light
warm our hearts, everyone

if we hold on together
i know our dreams will never die
dreams see us through to forever
as high as souls can fly
the clouds roll by for you and i

    
　　O Captain!My Captain!Our fearful trip is done,
　　
　　The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won,
　　
　　The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
　　
　　While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
　　
　　But O heart!heart!heart!
　　
　　O the bleeding drops of red!
　　
　　Where on the deck my Captain lies,
　　
　　Fallen cold and dead.
　　
　　O Captain! my Captain!rise up and hear the bells;
　　
　　Rise up -for you the flag is flung -for you the bugle trills,
　　
　　For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths-for you the shores crowding,
　　
　　For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turing;
　　
　　Here, Captain!dear father!
　　
　　This arm beneath your head;
　　
　　It is some dream that on the deck
　　
　　You ‘ve fallen cold and dead.
　　
　　
　　My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still,
　　
　　My father does not feel my arm , he has no pulse nor will;
　　
　　The ship is anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
　　
　　From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;
　　
　　Exult, O shores!and ring, O bells!
　　
　　But I,with mourful tread,
　　
　　Walk the deck my captain lies,
　　
　　Fallen cold and dead.

We study spoken English so as to make oral communications, so this order of importance of oral English study should be followed: Fluency, Accuracy, and Appropriateness. That is to say, we have to pay more attention to practical communicating ability instead of only laying emphasis on the grammatical correctness.Try to find some partners practicing oral English together and English corner is a good place as where we may exchange English study experience, widen our sight and improve interest in English.
