globalisation at its best

Question: What is the truest definition of Globalization?
Answer: Princess Diana's death.
Question: How come?
Answer: An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a French tunnel, driving a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian who was drunk on Scottish whisky, followed closely by Italian Paparazzi, on Japanese motorcycles; treated by an American doctor, using Brazilian medicines.

This is sent to you by an African, using Bill Gates' - (an American) technology, and you're probably reading this on your computer, that use Taiwanese chips, and a Korean monitor, assembled by Bangladeshi workers in a Singapore plant, transported by Indian lorry-drivers, hijacked by Indonesians, unloaded by Pakistani men, and trucked to you by Mexicans ...sent to you by a person in Zimbabwe. You are now reading it in Sweden

That, my friend, is Globalization.

eine liebe die nie endet

Ich war eigentlich glücklich so ohne dich
Dachte ich bis zu dem Tag an dem ich dich rollen sah
Du bist Bewegung in Vollendung
Die beste Zeitverschwendung
In dir sind sich Triumph und Trauma so sehr nah
Du bist immer da Immer für mich da

sportfreunde stiller- eine liebe die nie endet

ten cuidado con el corazón

Luces frias de diamantes
angel o demonio tu
caes del cielo azul
lentamente igual que un blues
no, no llores asi

Aire casi irrespirable
calles del atardecer
mitad hombre con mujer
flaco mas que un alfiler
no, no llores asi

Ten cuidado con el corazon
aqui abajo en este mundo material
te defiendes o te van a destrozar
por nada

Ten cuidado con el corazon
con las alas y con todo lo demas
un descuido y te pueden desplumar
alerta

hacer el amor con otro...

es como no hacer nada,
falta fuego en la mirada
falta dar el alma en cada beso
y sentir que puedes alcanzar el cielo.... (8)

it takes a red-headed woman to get a dirty job done

Well, brunettes are fine, man
Blondes are fun
But, when it comes to getting the dirty job done,
I'll take a red-headed woman, a red-headed woman.
It takes a red-headed woman to get a dirty job done.

Well, listen up, stud,Your life's been wasted
'til you've got' down on your knees and tasted
A red-headed woman, a red-headed woman.
It takes a red-headed woman to get a dirty job done.

Tight skirt, strawberry hair
Tell me what you've got, baby, waiting under there.
Big green eyes that look like, son, They can see every cheap thing that you ever done.

Well, I don't know how many girls you dated, man
You ain't lived 'til you've had your tires rotated
By a red-headed woman, a red-headed woman.
It takes a red-headed woman to get a dirty job done.

ich hab dich lieb

Ruf doch mal wieder an und erzähl mir, was du treibst.

Ist ganz egal wann und überrasch mich --

Komm her und sag, dass du bleibst,

für immer jetzt, für ewig oder mehr

love not given lightly

Severin, severin, speak so slightly
Severin, down on your bended knee
Taste the whip, in love not given lightly
Taste the whip, now plead for me

bubba, a smart man

One day, Jimmy Joe was walking down Main Street when he saw his buddy Bubba driving a brand new pickup. Bubba pulled up to him with a wide grin.
Bubba, where'd you get that truck !!
"Bobby Sue gave it to me" Bubba replied.
"She gave it to you? I knew she was kinda sweet on ya, but a new truck?"

"Well, Jimmy Joe, let me tell you what happened. We were driving out on County Road 6, in the middle of nowhere. Bobby Sue pulled off the road, put the truck in 4-wheel drive, and headed into the woods. She parked the truck, got out, threw off all her clothes and said, 'Bubba, take whatever you want'. So I took the truck!"

"Bubba, you're a smart man!. Them clothes woulda never fit you!"

porque choras?

Por que chora assim?
No jogo do amor eu não fui desleal
Você jogou, trapaceu fazendo mal
E me deixando a beira de um abismo
Que egoismo seu

dancing mood

Delroy Wilson - I'm in a dancing mood

I'm in a dancing mood.
I'm in a dancing mood.
I'm in a dancing mood.

When you feel the beat,
You've got to move your feet,
You've got to clap your hands.
You've got all the soul,
Deep inside,
Coz you can't hide.

european english

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where! more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v". During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl.

high tech tonga

An American, Japanese, and a Zambian Tonga were sitting naked in the sauna.
Suddenly there is a beeping sound. The American presses his forearm and the beeping stops. The others look at him questioningly.
"That's my pager, I have a microchip under the skin of my arm."

A few minutes later a phone rings. The Japanese lifts his palm to his ear. When he finishes he explains,
"That's my mobile phone. I have a microchip in my hand."

The Tonga, feeling decidedly low-tech but not to be outdone, decided he had to do something just as impressive. He steps out of the sauna and goes to the toilet. He returns with a piece of Toilet paper hanging from his butt. The others raised their eyebrows and said,
"Wow! What's that?"
"I'm receiving a fax," he explains.

you're just too good to be true...

you're just too good to be true
can't take my eyes of you
you'd be like heaven to touch
at long last love has arrived
and i thank god i'm alive
you're just too good to be true
can't take my eyes of you

lenin or tails?

the first class today was russian and we got to look at some coins from the soviet union...

set the fire to the third bar

I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from here to where you'd be
It's only finger-lengths that I see
I touch the place where I'd find your face
My finger in creases of distant dark places

snow patrol - set the fire to the third bar

seu amor e tudo que eu quero

Você tem um jeito que me encanta, me fascina com o seu olhar

Meigo de uma menina que sabe o que quer
Com você, o meu pensamento voa
Nunca fui assim com outra pessoa
Sei que é amor

Cada dia fico mais apaixonado
Quero te amar, quero ser amado
Te fazer carinho, também receber
Quero ter na boca o gosto do seu beijo
O meu sentimento é mais do que desejo
O meu coração só bate por você
Seu amor é tudo que eu quero
Enquanto o sol nascer
Eu sei que vou te amar
Seu amor é tudo que eu quero
Em cada estrela, brilha um pouco do amor
Que eu tenho pra te dar

hasta q me olvides

'06 Sonnet 18

Shall I compare you to a summer's day?
I find you more beautiful and more gentle.
Strong winds blow in the much loved buds of the spring flowers
And the summer is way too short:
Sometimes, the sun shines too hot
And often it is hidden behind clouds
then everything that is beautiful is hidden in the shades.
And what is beautiful won't be beautiful forever
That will change by chance or by the way nature has planned to change the course
But you will always stay young,
And you will never lose the beauty that you own
Nor shall death claim you for his own
Because you will live forever,
As long as there is life on this earth,
So long will this poem live and give life to you.
