As I lie here on this cold trolley,
looking up at the bright lights,
bewildered, frightened,
not knowing where I am,
wondering how I got here,
what has happened to me,
thinking about life, how hard it is,
rushing here and there,
trying to live for today,
but what are we but skin and bones,
without feelings we are nothing,
warm blood coursing through our veins,
our heart pumping relentlessly,
and as I lie there the scene changes,
no longer do I see a young man,
there lies the body of a frail old man,
the fire burns less in his eyes,
he feels not the hand gripping him,
nor the tears that fall from her eyes,
that grey old woman sitting next to him,
looking as pretty to him as she always did,
that first time they met so long ago,
the darkness descending around him,
a feeling of warmth and comfort,
of knowing that his time has come,
the life he had so filled with love,
happiness and good times he remembers now,
a teardrop in the corner of one eye,

Second Important Lesson - Pickup in the Rain
One night, at 11:30 p.m., an older African American woman was standing
on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm.
Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet,
she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help
her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 60s. The man took her
to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxicab.
She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked
him. Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his
surprise, a giant console colour TV was delivered to his home. A special
note was attached...
It read:
"Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The
rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came
along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's
bedside just before he passed away... God bless you for helping me and
unselfishly serving others."
Sincerely, Mrs. Nat King Cole.

My girlfriend will be flying in end of October for a visit, and she really loves to dance, mostly jazz and hip hop, she used to perform back in college. Are there any shows or concerts around San Francisco or the Bay Area we can watch around that time? Or any place we can head to for performances? Any ideas? (Nope, no plans of heading to Vegas just for this) Thanks!

I've been looking and all people say is bad stuff, about how their culture interferes, how they stink, about dots, and about their religion.

Why can't people just accept them?

It's actually really depressing.

Tuleen is my mother's name. She has never met anyone with someone who has the same name.

I have looked and looked and LOOKED for the meaning, so I ask to you: Do you know what it means?
