What is the one thing you cherish when everything goes wrong. What's your "ROCK" you cling too. What's the ONE thing you can rest upon when life just is unbearable.

The one thing that NEVER changes. Your life may totally cave in but__________ never fails me.

For some this might be: Yourself, God, A Personal Talent, Your Intelligence, The Bible, Friends, Parents etc....


What's your Foundation?

OLD IRONSIDES

By Oliver Wendell Holmes
September 16, 1830

Ay, tear her tattered ensign down!
Long has it waved on high,
And many an eye has danced to see
That banner in the sky;
Beneath it rung the battle shout,
And burst the cannon's roar;
The meteor of the ocean air
Shall sweep the clouds no more.

Her deck, once red with heroes' blood,
Where knelt the vanquished foe,
When winds were hurrying o'er the flood,
And waves were white below,
No more shall feel the victor's tread,
Or know the conquered knee;
The harpies of the shore shall pluck
The eagle of the sea!

Oh, better that her shattered bulk
Should sink beneath the wave;
Her thunders shook the mighty deep,
And there should be her grave;
Nail to the mast her holy flag,
Set every threadbare sail,
And give her to the god of storms,
The lightning and the gale!

Of course such a question is best applied to certain types of questions. But, for an example, when asked about vengeance, after hearing a tragic scenario, are your first thoughts much the same as what you later express? Or are you seething with fantasies of brutal punishment? I'm the seething kind. That's much of the reason I could never watch the Saw movies. I would spend hours thinking of ways to torture the villain, but would never advocate others do it. That's not healthy for me to obsess over, so I won't watch the films.

365 days have come and gone
still we're here without you
and it just feels so wrong.
it's like we're living in 2 worlds
here on earth, alone
and with you in heaven, that's home.
but we don't know how to get there just yet
because i guess our time's not through
just know that when we can
we'll find our way to you.
and tho we cried and couldn't understand
when the angels came for you
we soon found peace in god's promised plan
for the heaven he had in store for you.
see, god couldn't wait to take you home
to show you everything
you'd never known.
to watch you run
on streets of gold
to see you marvel
at things untold.
to watch you
sing, and laugh, and play
yes, god chose that special day.
and when OUR time is finished
and through;
just watch--
we'll be smiling as god brings us home,
To You.....

how much money do you need before you can be considered rich.

becuse from a poor persons perspective £1000 is a lot of money, but from a working man/womans perspective it is just money.

There are different kinds of dancing waltz, fox trott, pelican tango, tango, salza dance, bharath natyam, salza dance, wrap etc; etc; what do people get out of it other than some exercise and some disciplined time together? synchronous with the music, may be it is interesting to watch all those tangos and all. Please explain the spiritual content behind western and eastern dance forms.

I am an aspiring entertainer.

Acting, Music, you name it.

My ambition sometimes outweighs my current ability, but I tend to be great at pressing on. I am mostly drawn torwards music; I simply love it more than most things. But, my singing ability, although I have noticed that I am improving, is not the greatest, or atleast I dont feel like it coincides with what I am picturing in my head.

So, my question is: Can you develop a better singing voice? And if so, what are some techniques/tips for doing this.

I've gotten over the wanting to have it over night and I am ready to work for it.
