I am really not sure what part I should aim for in Music Man Jr. I think I am a good singer, but I don't take lessons and I have trouble singing the high notes (I am not aiming for Marian). I am good at learning a lot of lines and I love playing "extreme" characters, like if they very angry or peppy (I can handle most emotions). I would like a solo in singing or dancing, and I don't want a minor part that only appears in the show once, I want to push myself and get a good role in this musical. What part do you recommend for me? (I am a girl)

There's just something about first lines in my case. I just love it when the first line simply takes my breath away and assures that this will be one great book to read. What about you? Any great first lines you'd like to share?

My job was to replace old systems by new.

I would replace new systems upon new systems as one by one they will fail.

In hindsight, 5 systems later, maybe the original was the best. But too much water would have gone down the bridge by that time.

Top management would support me in imposing a "new" horribly inefficient system to replace an existing better system.
(I've used the terrific insights by QuiteNewHere)

Is intelligence really not that important? I mean, academic intelligence. Sure, I don't recite books from memory and believe everything my teachers tell me, but I still know I'm academically smart, and so are most of my friends.

But a few of my friends aren't, and it was one of those friends that told me the one thing I've been trying to get someone to say to me for as long as I can remember. But I don't think he even realized it.

I just thought it was amazing that someone who talks like an uneducated stereotypical public-school student could figure something out that my "educated" friends couldn't.

By the way, what he said was "You're smart."

I'm trying to draw some characters around the age of 7 or 8, but I can't draw young children. -_-;
Any suggestions or websites? I've tried Google but it's not bringing up anything helpful.

We really didn't have any white people in our family except in the 1800's where we had a general who was white and fought for the south.

Do you see futuristic technology and dramatic economic progression? What would be the point of all of that?

When I picture the future, I see the youth suffering. They've no reason to live anymore. It is all meaningless. Finance will no longer be a problem because everyone has been gathering money for the future. After so many generations have gone by, the money will finally reach its peak. What then? They would all serve a meaningless existence. They would just go on living; trying to satisfy themselves with more and more earthly pleasures and external goods. Life will become so depressing. Everyone's lives will become the great depression. What if we find all the possible cures for every single disease? Where is that all going? Just for the greater good of man? What has man ever done for the entire world?

Basically: Human life is already meaningless enough right now. Does it really need to get much worse until we all realize it? And if so, is this the only way we'll realize it?

I have to rewrite Act 1, Scene 3 into a script, as if I were in the 70's. I can do that just fine, it's just that I don't understand most of the scene. Basically I don't understand the sex joke that the Nurse says. Can anyone translate the sex joke thoroughly, or the whole scene? Or does anyone know a good Shakespeare translation site? Any help would be appreciated.

No, my love, time is not a river,
Flowing inexorably to its terminus,
Time is eternal, moving in all directions,
Standing still in an endless moment of pulsating joy,
Lying motionless in an eternal momement of despair.
Moving backwards towards the distant past.

I have traveled through space
On the light of a star,
I have lived on Pangea,
Felt the land tremble and the continents
Tilt and separate,
Seen the ranging waters
Tearing the land apart
And the endless seas
Freezing and melting and covering the land.

I have seen fire and ice
As the great volcanoes built the mountains
And tore them down again,
And I have felt the heat of the sun
And the days growing long and cold.

I have left my footprints
In the dust of the Moon
And I have roved
Through the orange deserts
Of our sister planet.

And now I wish I believed
In that eternal, timeless moment,
When together, you and I
Will hold each other once again,
And laugh with joy at time and rivers.

You see, I'm making a menu for a restaurant for one of my clients. (School Project) And I've already started everything, but you see I want to make a line of food at the bottom of the menu.

For example:
http://hawaiirestaurantgroup.biz/9023.html?*session*id*key*=*session*id*val*

As you can see, on the brown menu, there is a line of food at the bottom and it makes the overall form look really good. I'd like to do something similar but I can't find a good picture.

*Help

*Please & Thank you

Ok so I don't think that this is one of my best poems and I want to better it. Advice? Please and thank you



Feel the grass, no longer soft and smooth,
Crunch and crack beneath your feet.
Gaze up at the leaves, their green color gone,
To be replaced with colors similar to the dawning of the sun.
Feel the wind, no more a warm breeze,
But a cool suggestion of what it once was.
Think back to the budding roses that had still yet to bloom,
As the young deer fawns still maintained their snowy spots.
But now, the pink petals have fallen, to curl and brown with the grass,
The fawns have matured, their antlers tall and majestic, ready to be called to battle
The signals are clear as the cool stream that will be turing to ice,
Spring, has fallen, only to come again, when the time is right
