WINNERS OF THE "WORST ANALOGIES EVER WRITTEN IN A HIGH SCHOOL ESSAY" CONTEST

He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it. (Joseph Romm, Washington)

McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty Bag filled with vegetable soup. (Paul Sabourin, Silver Spring)

Her date was pleasant enough, but she knew that if her life was a movie this guy would be buried in the credits as something like "Second Tall Man." (Russell Beland, Springfield)

Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph. (Jennifer Hart, Arlington)

The politician was gone but unnoticed, like the period after the Dr. on a Dr Pepper can. (Wayne Goode, Madison, Ala.)

Politics Made Simple

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you have trouble understanding politics? If so, the following primer (thanks to the Manitoban - University of Manitoba) should clear it up for you. No bull.
Socialism - You have two cows. Give one to your neighbour.

Communism - You have two cows. Give both to the government. The government gives you milk.

Capitalism - You sell one cow and buy a bull.

Facism - You have two cows. Give milk to the government. The government sells it.

Nazism - The government shoots you and takes the cows.

New Dealism - The government shoots one cow, milks the other, and pours the milk down the sink.

Anarchism - Keep the cows. Steal another one. Shoot the government.

Conservatism - Freeze the milk. Embalm the cows.

Liberalism - Give away one cow. Get the government to give you a new cow. Now give them both away.

Inevitable

 
si es cuestión de confesar
no sé preparar café
y no entiendo de fútbol
creo que alguna vez fuí infiel
juego mal hasta el parqués
y jamás uso reloj
y para ser más franca nadie
piensa en ti como lo hago yo
aunque te dé lo mismo
si es cuestión de confesar
nunca duermo antes de diez
ni me baño los domingos
la verdad es que también
lloro una vez al mes
sobre todo cuando hay frío
conmigo nada es fácil
ya debes saber
me conoces bien
y sin ti todo es tan aburrido
coro/chorus:
el cielo está cansado ya de ver
la lluvia caer
y cada día que pasa es uno más
parecido a ayer
no encuentro forma a alguna de
olvidarte porque
seguir amándote es inevitable
siempre supe que es mejor
cuando hay que hablar de dos
empezar por uno mismo
ya sabrás la situación
aquí todo está peor
pero al menos aún respiro
no tienes que decirlo
no vas a volver
te conozco bien
ya buscaré qué hacer conmigo
chorus
siempre supe que es mejor
cuando hay que hablar de dos
empezar por uno mismo

My Favorite flowers are Long stem Gardenias, Star lilys and Orange roses
I'm sucha girl, I love flowers.
The sappiest most romantic book of poems. Neruda is the bomb.
Jose Marti
Yo soy un hombre sincero
De donde crece la palma,
Y antes de morirme quiero
Echar mis versos del alma.

Yo vengo de todas partes,
Y hacia todas partes voy:
Arte soy entre las artes,
En los montes, monte soy.

Oculto en mi pecho bravo
La pena que me lo hiere:
El hijo de un pueblo esclavo
Vive por él, calla, y muere....
