a motive in balance
makes much less of a thrill
have you ever met
someone you wanted to kill

or have you ever even
wished anyone ill
before i play this
i surely will

F F# G
destroy a carbon based life
remove all trace of his life

G D a# C#
emotive unbalanced
left looking for a thrill
have you set your sight on
someone else's ill will

have you ever even
destroyed to your fill
if i play this
see him for a shill who

destroys all carbon based life
remove all trace of this life

Toyota's runner runs 7m/h
MIT's is expressive (mobile dexterous social)
Honda's can run in a circle,
and conduct the detroit symphony orchestra

Consumer robots by 2010; this one plays violin.

What is love like if it is bleeding on the floor
Too many closed windows and wide opened doors
How high can you fly with broken wings,
When you are trying to find life's brighter things
Yesterdays goals never put into plan,
Now become silent wishes in our hand
Sometimes, I swear I can see right through you
Even when you are the darkest shade of blue
Never follow others lead
Just be yourself; the purest breed
Memories of the past haunt like a ghost,
Remembering days spent out on the west coast
We dance under city lights,
As the moon is shining down on us, so bright
Waiting for the sky to fall, but it stand still
Wondering how it stays up there, if it always will
They say the best part of believe is the lie,
and goodbye does not always mean forever
but what happens when the lie is what you live,
and hello's return never
Lost in the shadows of a once forgotten life,
Finding out that one day everything will be alright

The immediate effects of smoking cessation include:

Within 20 minutes blood pressure returns to its normal level
After 8 hours oxygen levels return to normal
After 24 hours carbon monoxide levels in the lungs return to those of a non-smoker and the mucus begins to clear
After 48 hours nicotine leaves the body and tastebuds are improved
After 72 hours breathing becomes easier
After 2–12 weeks, circulation improves
After 5 years, the risk of heart attack falls to about half that of a smoker
After 10 years, the chance of lung cancer is almost the same as a non-smoker.

watching the ants treasure the blood i waste
i wonder if i deserve even a taste
at once bled from every orifice
our dreams more amorphous

destroying the family
absconding love
prove to yourself
no one you're above

losing the war
is ending the fight
love free of lust
worries all night

nothing is free
least of all me
show me what i'm s'posta be

welcome overstayed
all debts underpaid
no one who isn't like me

Tibetan monk Tashi Sangpo, 25, was arrested for replacing the Chinese flag with a Tibetan one in the main prayer hall of his monastery on March 10, the 50 year anniversary of the uprising that led to the Dalai Lama's flight... He later disappeared from his cell and was rumoured to have plunged into a river. Chinese authorities have insisted...the police played no part in his death. The Tibetan government-in-exile, based in Dharamsala in India, reported that 4,000 people were involved in the clashes, while police claimed the number was nearer 100. They said six people had been arrested and 89 more had "surrendered to police," with all but two of the 95 people being monks from the La'gyab Monastery. China has poured troops into Tibet and its surrounding provinces in order to maintain control and snuff out any dissent over this sensitive period. . All foreigners have been denied entry into Greater Tibet, which includes parts of the surrounding provinces of Sichuan, Gansu and Qinghai. Roadblocks have been set up on roads leading out of Chengdu, in Sichuan, and police with machine guns have been posted at motorway toll booths.

i never know what a song is about until i play it

penny lane has foiled me since i stole brets girlfriends moms beatles chordbook to get famous, since they dont like me/play guitar anyway

now i can play it, i know what its about

WHAT THE FUCK.

but world?
who can still hit a high F when theyve found a reason to sing?
an orphan in a fishing town who couldnt even afford or find weed to replace lust

if i was jealous and beaten more - i would have more in store
sing together delete each personal pronoun
if i could shout your name, I wouldnt - You would be around
if ennui did not bore - who'd write, love, grow more?

complexity is clear - no need to baffle dears
to teach is all we agree
to agree is all we teach
whats mine is mine - miss you supine
dig where theres more beneath

how could i bring a task to completion how could i sing if no one is teachin

read if interested, if you have time: Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, US oil companies have been vying with Russia, Iran and other energy interests for the massive, untapped oil and natural gas reserves in the former Soviet republics of Central Asia. The building and protection of oil and gas pipelines in Afghanistan, to continue farther to Pakistan, India, and elsewhere, has been a key objective of US policy since before the 2001 American invasion and occupation of the country, although the subsequent turmoil there has presented serious obstacles to such plans.
A planned Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India pipeline has strong support from Washington because, amongst other reasons, the US is eager to block a competing pipeline that would bring gas to Pakistan and India from Iran.

what about this 700 billion?

and this from washington post:

{According to Forbes, there are 64 billionaires in New York City with a combined net worth of $344 billion, a staggering 469 percent more than the collective worth of the city's billionaires two years ago.

Federal tax cuts are a major reason the net worth of billionaires is still astronomical nationwide. Surely, if some of those tax cuts were rescinded and the money was used to reduce the hunger and homelessness of their fellow Americans, those billionaires would somehow manage to muddle through.

Just as it is unthinkable for the country to allow financial giants to go belly up, it should be unthinkable to look the other way as tens of millions of low-income Americans (the types of people who clean the offices of AIG and Fannie Mae at night) go without food or shelter. It's time to get our priorities in order.}

sometimes you miss the sadness
and thats what makes you sad

sometimes if you stop you will start to see
that thats what makes you mad

the hate that we've spent
words we have rent
apart and scattered
hardly tattered

i can still dream of your dream
i suppose i'm as i seem

emotions or mood
weather, attitude
feelings make me feel

Nothing isnt real

dont feel me i'm numb
dont steal my aplomb
i'm real i'm your son
i'm really no fun

i'm afraid to talk
i'm terrified to walk into a room alone
i am a dovish hawk
i'm hardly half of the boy you've known

Live our dream

...they injected the brains of 45 rats with cancer cells, producing tumors whose presence they confirmed through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). On the 12th day they injected 15 of the rats with THC and 15 with Win-55,212-2 a synthetic compound similar to THC. "All the rats left untreated uniformly died 12-18 days after glioma (brain cancer) cell inoculation ... Cannabinoid (THC)-treated rats survived significantly longer than control rats. THC administration was ineffective in three rats, which died by days 16-18. Nine of the THC-treated rats surpassed the time of death of untreated rats, and survived up to 19-35 days. Moreover, the tumor was completely eradicated in three of the treated rats."

The Spanish researchers, led by Dr. Manuel Guzman of Complutense University, also irrigated healthy rats' brains with large doses of THC for seven days, to test for harmful biochemical or neurological effects. They found none.
