Cherry-ripe, ripe, ripe, i cry, full and fair ones; come and buy. if so be you ask me where they do grow, i answer: there, where my julia's lips do smile; there's the land, or cherry-isle, whose plantations fully show all the year where cherries grow.

People talk about this julia roberts almost like it's a cup of pepsi. people think julia roberts is something they created. the fact is, 26 years ago, there was this scrunched-up little pink baby named julia roberts. i am a girl, like anybody else.

What a sight there is in that "smile!" it changes like a chameleon. there is a vacant smile, a cold smile, a smile of hate, a satiric smile, an affected smile; but, above all, a smile of love.

O helena, goddess, nymph, perfect, divine! to what, my love, shall i compare thine eyne? crystal is muddy. o, how ripe in show thy lips, those kissing cherries, tempting grow!

Land taxes is the thing. they got so high that there is no chance to make anything. not only land but all property tax. you see in the old days, why the only thing they knew how to tax was land, or a house. well, that condition went along for quite awhile, so even today the whole country tries to run its revenue on taxes on land. they never ask if the land makes anything. "it's land ain't it? well tax it then."

Sometimes when i'm alone i cry, cause i am on my own. the tears i cry are bitter and warm. they flow with life but take no form i cry because my heart is torn. i find it difficult to carry on. if i had an ear to confide in, i would cry among my treasured friend, but who do you know that stops that long, to help another carry on. the world moves fast and it would rather pass by. then to stop and see what makes one cry, so painful and sad. and sometimes... i cry and no one cares about why.
Moving Heart Long
I just want to hear the true voices of women self-expressing - smart ones, stupid ones, ugly ones, beautiful ones, good ones, bad ones, fat ones, thin ones, all of it - until the profound silence that has resounded throughout history is filled with a healthy chorus coming from our side of the aisle.

You're beautiful, but you're empty...one couldn't die for you. of course, an ordinary passerby would think my rose looked just like you. but my rose, all on her own, is more important than all of you together, since she's the one i've watered. since she's the one i put under glass, since she's the one i sheltered behind the screen. since she's the one for whom i killed the caterpillars (except the two or three butterflies). since she's the one i listened to when she complained, or when she boasted, or even sometimes when she said nothing at all. since she's my rose.

Karl rove described obama as "the guy at the country club with the beautiful date, holding a martini, and making snide comments about everyone who passes by." unlike george bush, who's the guy at the country club who makes snide comments, and then passes out. now this characterization, of course, was something mr. rove just completely pulled out of his bulbous, gelatinous a$$, but remember this is america, a land where people believe anything they hear.

Baseball and cricket are beautiful and highly stylized medieval war substitutes, chess made flesh, a mixture of proud chivalry and base-in both senses-greed.
