My new Phillies fight song.

goldbrickdreams — 2009-10-28T06:53:00Z

Go Phillies, hit the ball long.
Go Phillies, play the game strong.
Go Phillies, show that we belong.
We will fight with all our might
to the victory song.

Go Phillies, lets shout it out loud.
Go Phillies, we're a Phanatic crowd.
Go Phillies, you make the city proud.
Ring the bell and we will yell
our game will be avowed.

Now Go Phillies, Go
Lets Go Phillies, Go
Yes Go Phillies, Go
Swing and a long drive and this ball is outta here.
GO PHILLIES, GO.

My Phillies fight song.

goldbrickdreams — 2009-10-19T07:41:00Z

"Go Phillies, hit the ball long.
Go Phillies, play the game strong.
Go Phillies, prove them all wrong.
We will fight with all our might
to the victory song.

Go Phillies, strike them out fast.
Go Phillies, give the ball a blast.
Go Phillies, forget about the past.
We'll be the ace in this race
we'll never be surpassed.

Now Go Phillies, Go
Lets Go Phillies, Go
Yes Go Phillies, Go
Let the game begin so we can win,
GO PHILLIES, GO."

So long Millie Ann.

goldbrickdreams — 2009-09-27T08:33:00Z

This is a Leonard Cohen song called 'So Long Marianne' that I am albe to add Millie Ann's name to.

Not to be missunderstode as me saying so long as I do not want to do that.

Just a song I love as much as I love my wife.

Won't you come over to the window, my little darling,
I'd like to try to read you palm
I used to think I was some kind of gypsy boy
before I let you take me home.

So long Millie Ann, it's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.

Well, you know that I love to live with you,
but you make me forget so very much.
I forget to pray for the angel
and then the angels forget to pray for us.

So long Millie Ann, it's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.

We met when we were almost young.
Deep in the green lilac park.
You held on to me like I was a crucifix
as we went kneeling through the dark.

So long Millie Ann, it's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.

Your letters say that you are beside me now.
Then why do I feel alone?
I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
is fastening my ankle to a stone.

So long Millie Ann, it's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.

For now I need your hidden love.
I'm cold as a new razor blade.
You left when I told you I was curious.
I never said that I was brave.

So long Millie Ann, it's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.

O you are really such a pretty one.
I see you've gone and changed your name again
And just when I climbed this whole mountainside
to wash my eyelids in the rain.

So long Millie Ann, it's time that we began

to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.

History Mystery w/ pictures.

History Mystery

Have a history teacher explain this ----- if they can..

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.

John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.

Joh n F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.

Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.

Both Presidents were shot in the head

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy.

Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln .

Both were assassinated by Southerners.

Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln , was born in 1808.

Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln , was born in 1839..

Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.

Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'

Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln ' made by 'Ford.'

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.

Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here's the kicker...

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe , Maryland

A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.

WHO FIGURED THIS OUT?

INCREDIBLE

1) Fold a NEW PINK $20 bill in half...

2) Fold again, taking care to fold it exactly as below

3) Fold the other e nd, exactly as before

4) Now, simply turn it over...

What a coincidence!

A simple geometric fold creates a catastrophic premonition printed on all $20 bills!!!

COINCIDENCE? YOU DECIDE

As if that wasn't enough. Here is what you've seen...

Firstly The Pentagon on fire...

Then The Twin Towers.

..And now .. look at this!

TRIPLE COINCIDENCE ON A SIMPLE $20 BILL

It gets even better!! 9+11=$20!!

This is too interesting to pass up!

Think before you speak!

goldbrickdreams — 2009-09-25T09:49:00Z

               Here are six reasons why you should think before you speak.
                Have you ever spoken and wished that you could
                Immediately take the words back....
                Here are the Testimonials of a few people who did....

                FIRST TESTIMONY:
                I walked into a hair salon with my husband and three kids
                in tow And asked loudly, 'How much do you charge for a shampoo and a blow job?'
                I turned around and walked back out and never went back
                My husband didn't say a word..
                He knew better.

                SECOND TESTIMONY:
                I was at the golf store comparing different kinds of golf balls.
                I was unhappy with the women's type I had been using.
                After browsing for several minutes,
                I was approached by one of the good-looking gentlemen who
                works at the store.  He asked if he could help me.
                Without thinking, I looked at him and said, 'I think I like playing with men's balls'

                THIRD TESTIMONY:
                My sister and I were at the mall and
                Passed by a store that sold a
                Variety of candy and nuts.
                As we were looking at the display case,
                The boy behind the counter asked if we needed any help.
                I replied, 'No, I'm just looking at your nuts.'
                My sister started to laugh hysterically.
                The boy grinned, and I turned beet-red and walked away.
                To this day, My sister has never let me forget.

                FOURTH TESTIMONY :
                While in line at the bank one afternoon,
                My toddler decided to release
                Some pent-up energy and ran amok.
                I was finally able to grab hold of
                Her after receiving looks of disgust
                And annoyance from other patrons.
                I told her that if she did not start behaving
                'right now' she would be punished.
                To my horror, she looked me in the eye and said in a voice
                just as threatening, 'If you don't let me go right now,
                I will tell Grandma that I saw you
                Kissing Daddy's pee-pee last night!'
                The silence was deafening after this enlightening exchange.
                Even the tellers stopped what they were doing.
                I mustered up the last of my dignity and
                Walked out of the bank with my daughter in tow.
                The last thing I heard when the door closed behind me,
                 were screams of laughter.

       FIFTH TESTIMONY:
                Have you ever asked your child a question too many times?
                My three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty
                training and I was on him constantly.
                One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch, in
                between errands
                It was very busy, with a full dining room.
                While enjoying my taco,
                I smelled something funny,
                So of course I checked
                My seven-month-old daughter, she was clean.
                Then realized that Danny
                Had not asked to go potty in a while.
                I asked him if he needed to go,
                And he said 'No' .
                I kept thinking
                'Oh Lord, that child has had an accident, and I don't have
                any clothes with me.'
                Then I said,
                'Danny, are you SURE you didn't have an accident?'
                'No,' he replied.  I just KNEW that he must have had an accident, because the
                smell was getting worse.
                Soooooo, I asked one more time, 'Danny did you have an
                 accident ? This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants,
                Bent over, spread his cheeks
                And yelled, 'SEE MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!!'
                While 30 people nearly choked to death on their tacos laughing,
                He calmly pulled up his pants and sat down.
                An old couple made me feel better,
                Thanking me for the best laugh they'd ever had.

Last

              And a very embarrassed female news anchor who will,
                In the future, likely think before she speaks.
                What happens when you predict snow but don't get any!
                We had a female news anchor that,
                The day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't,
                Turned to the weatherman and asked:
                'So Bob, where's that 8 inches you promised me last night?'
                Not only did HE have to leave the set,
                But half the crew did too they were laughing so hard!

Bizzare links of Abraham Lincoln and J.F.K.

burned tree

goldbrickdreams — 2009-09-12T06:12:00Z

I saw a burned tree in the big city among the ruin and the wast.
Time ticking by like a long sad goodbye a movie out of pase.
I said said nothing more as she lie to the floor of life in her disgrace.

Nothing else matters nothing more nothing new
a burned tree of the life we once knew
caught in the middle of a long drawn out play
nothing to do nothing to say

Short odd song by me.
