Cause you're so hot, baby just like an oven

And I'll burn myself, but I just had to touch it

You're so fine, and all mine

Hey baby, we don't mind all the watching

Cause if they study close, real close

They might learn something

She ain't nothing but a little doozie when she does it

She's so fine tonight

[Hook: Justin Timberlake]

And as long as I got my suit and tie

All dressed up in black and white

And you're dressed in that dress I like

Love is swinging in the air tonight

Let me show you a few things

While we're in the swing of love

Let me show you a few things

Show you a few things about love

[Verse 2: Justin Timberlake]

Oh, so thick, now I know why it's causing a static

And aww, it's a stick, got a hit and picked up a habit

But that's alright, you're all mine

Awww, go on and show 'em who you call daddy

I guess they're just mad cause girl, they wish you they had it

Oh, my killer, my thriller, yeah you're a classic

And as long as I got my suit and tie

I'ma leave it all on the floor tonight

All pressed up in black and white

And you're wearing that dress I like

Love is swinging in the air tonight

((( THE ROLAND BA-330 PORTABLE PA )))

I've decided that I need 

something more substantial than my 

Alesis Transactive Mobile portable PA system, 

for my outdoor performances for Mother Nature

I've been pushing that poor little Alesis too hard

and it's starting to have a nervous breakdown

So I just bought this from Musician's Friend

It cost 3 TIMES THE PRICE of the Alesis, but...

From an average of all the reviews

THIS IS THE ONE I WANT!!!!

AWESOME UNIT!!!!

UPDATE:

Gave it the full-on test

performing for Mother Nature on Thanksgiving Day 2013

it passed A+  110%!!!

((( TO MAJOR ED DAMES )))

To Major Ed Dames,

If you truly think about it I'm sure you will agree that millions upon millions of Christians who are certain the Anti-Christ is going to come are not helping matters AT ALL. They would do much better to be skeptical about the Biblical Book of Revelation and concentrate their Intent that the Anit-Christ is no one's bitch and will refuse to do what the Bible says he must do...as a matter of principle.

Christians would do much better to envision the Anti-Christ rebelling and deciding to do WHATEVER HE MAY CHOOSE TO DO whether his father Satan likes it or not!

If you think about it, if all Christians decided to assertively do this consistently they just might change the course of Biblical history. Unfortunately, most Christians are like you. they are absolutely certain things must be the way they must be and there is nothing they can do about it.

How about you consider training your remote viewers to POSTPONE the disasters you predict, AS I HAVE BEEN DOING MY BEST TO DO, instead of encouraging those disasters. I sense you want to be proven right more than you want to postpone the disasters you and your remote viewers foresee.

HOW ABOUT YOU GROW A PAIR AND HELP ME POSTPONE THOSE DISASTERS!!!

I could use all the help I can get

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, DAMMIT!!!!

THINGS DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE AS YOU HAVE BEEN PREDICTING!!!!


Thanks,

((( THE QUALITY OF MERCY )))

((( CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF OF YOU )))

You're just too good to be true.

Can't take my eyes off you.

You'd be like Heaven to touch.

I wanna hold you so much.

At long last love has arrived

And I thank God I'm alive.

You're just too good to be true.

Can't take my eyes off you.

Pardon the way that I stare.

There's nothing else to compare.

The sight of you leaves me weak.

There are no words left to speak,

But if you feel like I feel,

Please let me know that it's real.

You're just too good to be true.

Can't take my eyes off you.

I love you, baby,

And if it's quite alright,

I need you, baby,

To warm a lonely night.

I love you, baby.

Trust in me when I say:

Oh, pretty baby,

Don't bring me down, I pray.

Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay

And let me love you, baby.

Let me love you.

You're just too good to be true.

Can't take my eyes off you.

You'd be like Heaven to touch.

I wanna hold you so much.

At long last love has arrived

And I thank God I'm alive.

You're just too good to be true.

Can't take my eyes off you.

I love you, baby,

And if it's quite alright,

I need you, baby,

To warm a lonely night.

I love you, baby.

Trust in me when I say:

Oh, pretty baby,

Don't bring me down, I pray.

Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay..

((( IT'S NOT FOR ME TO SAY )))

It's not for me to say you love me

It's not for me to say you'll always care

Oh, but here for the moment, I can hold you fast

And press your lips to mine and dream that love will last

As far as I can see, this is heaven

And speaking just for me, it's ours to share

Perhaps the glow of love will grow with ev'ry passing day

Or we may never meet again

But then, it's not for me to say

As far as I can see, this is heaven

And speaking just for me, it's ours to share

Perhaps the glow of love will grow with ev'ry passing day

Or we may never meet again

But then, it's not for me to say

((( WILD IS THE WIND )))

Love me, love me, say you do

Let me fly away with you

For my love is like the wind

And wild is the wind

Give me more than one caress

Satisfy this hungriness

Let the wind blow through your heart

For wild is the wind

You touch me, I hear the sound of mandolins

You kiss me and with your kiss, the world begins

You're spring to me, all things to me

You're life itself

like a leaf clings to a tree

Oh my darling, cling to me

For we're creatures of the wind

And wild is the wind, the wind

Wild is my love for you

~ New Karaoke Song ~

((( WONDERFUL WONDERFUL )))

Sometimes we walk hand in hand by the sea

And we breathe in the cool salty air

You turn to me with a kiss in your eyes

And my heart feels a thrill beyond compare

Then your lips cling to mine

It's wonderful, wonderful

Oh, so wonderful, my love

Sometimes we stand on the top of a hill

And we gaze at the earth and the sky

I turn to you and you melt in my arms

There we are, darling, only you and I

What a moment to share

It's wonderful, wonderful

Oh, so wonderful, my love

The world is full of wondrous things, it's true

But they wouldn't have much meaning without you

Some quiet evening I sit by your side

And we're lost in a world of our own

I feel the glow of your unspoken love

I'm aware of the treasure that I own

And I say to myself

"It's wonderful, wonderful

Oh, so wonderful, my love"

And I say to myself

"It's wonderful, wonderful

Oh, so wonderful, my love"

I intend to die singing!

((( AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME )))

"There is one thing

that is stronger than all the armies in the world,

and that is an idea whose time has come"

~ Victor Hugo ~

Hugo began planning a major novel about social misery and injustice as early as the 1830s, but it would take a full 17 years for Les Misérables to be realized and finally published in 1862. Hugo was acutely aware of the quality of the novel and publication of the work went to the highest bidder. The Belgian publishing house Lacroix and Verboeckhoven undertook a marketing campaign unusual for the time, issuing press releases about the work a full six months before the launch. It also initially published only the first part of the novel ("Fantine"), which was launched simultaneously in major cities. Installments of the book sold out within hours, and had enormous impact on French society.

The critical establishment was generally hostile to the novel; Taine found it insincere, Barbey d'Aurevilly complained of its vulgarity, Gustave Flaubert found within it "neither truth nor greatness", the Goncourts lambasted its artificiality, and Baudelaire – despite giving favorable reviews in newspapers – castigated it in private as "tasteless and inept". Les Misérables proved popular enough with the masses that the issues it highlighted were soon on the agenda of the National Assembly of France. Today the novel remains his most enduringly popular work. It is popular worldwide, and has been adapted for cinema, television and stage shows.

MY COMMENT:

I was suddenly inspired to do a study into the life of Victor Hugo and was amazed to find how this novel, panned by most of the critics, was so well received by the public that it led to social reforms in France. If that were not enough it eventually became a major Broadway Musical hit and blockbuster movie. Quite an accomplishment for a novel. I never remember hearing the like of such a thing before.

I'm going to look into singing a karaoke version of at least one of the main songs from the film. The spirit of Enrico Caruso loves to sing show tunes through my being, Ha!

I just checked and, unfortunately, all the songs are...miserable. As that should come as some big surprise considering the name of the movie, right?

Wassamatta fo you, bebe?

And what of Madonna

starring in the movie version of Evita?

'Don't cry for me Argentina...'

cry for yourselves because I starred in this movie

and feel guilty every time you rejoiced

seeing me slapped around

I just did some studies on the real life Evita

"* La Gran Puta: The Evita haters played the sex card 

and permanently tagged her with the label of "the great whore."

No wonder Madonna was "great" for the role...um...I guess

didn't see the movie

don't intend to

But it's fun to pass judgment

when I don't really know what I'm talking about

Hey, everybody's doing it!

Hooo Boy!

No wonder

the Republicans hated her!

((( NEW YEAR'S DAY )))

Or is it just a game in my mind Sharona
