Billy Joel- Vienna
Slow down, you crazy child
you're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart, tell me
Why are you still so afraid?
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You'd better cool it off before you burn it out
You've got so much to do and
Only so many hours in a day
But you know that when the truth is told..
That you can get what you want or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even
Get halfway through
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
Slow down, you're doing fine
You can't be everything you want to be
Before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight
Tonight...
Too bad but it's the life you lead
you're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong, you know
You can't always see when you're right. You're right
You've got your passion, you've got your pride
but don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
Slow down, you crazy child
and take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while
it's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
And you know that when the truth is told
that you can get what you want or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
Why don't you realize, Vienna waits for you
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
All you need is love - The Beatles
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
There's nothing you can do that can't be done
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy
There's nothing you can make that can't be made
No one you can save that can't be saved
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time
It's easy
All you need is love
All you need is love
There's nothing you can know that isn't known
Nothing you can see that isn't shown
There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be
It's easy
Love is all you need

Movie Marathon: Halloween Issue

Last Monday my family and I watched the first five movies of the Harry Potter series and the first Lord of the Rings movie. I have to say it was tiring, who knew watching movies could get so taxing?
My favorite Harry Potter movie so far is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. My cousin and my brother think so as well. It was a really hot that afternoon and we were watching it in the Living room with only one electric fan. Our savior was some dirty ice cream (not really dirty) and some burnt popcorn. Burnt popcorn courtesy of my sister and dirty ice cream courtesy of the Ice cream man at the front of the school which is in front of our house. My comment about the Lord of the Rings movie is that it's tediously long. It's nice , the story is probably good but it's really long. I didn't notice how small hobbits were before. My brother made a rude comment about Frodo and Sam being gay, I disagreed.
Both of the two kinds of movies I watched with my cousins and my siblings had really good lessons in them. I greatly admire Harry Potter even though he is fictional. His life is bittersweet, most of the time bitter rather than sweet. I love all the lessons, quotes and special effects of Harry Potter movies. And most of all I like the fact that there's always hope for muggles and wizards and witches alike just as long there's a person brave enough to do what is right. I am not talking about the person whom you might be thinking of in relation to our country and it's problems. I hold no expectations for just one man. I am holding hope for the people in our country. That some day we will find peace. I hope that we all would realize that the darkest hour is before the dawn. that we should never give up on our country no matter how appealing the idea might be sometimes.
