I just love this, it reminds me of somebody special (although I don't know why except some of the lyrics and my interpretation of them). OK, I know exactly why - but I'm not telling you ;)

NARRATOR:
A love-struck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made.
Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like "you and me babe, how about it?"

Juliet says "hey, it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack!"
He's underneath the window she's singing "hey la, my boyfriend's back.
You shouldn't come around here singing up to people like that...
Anyway what you gonna do about it?"

ROMEO:
Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
And I bet when you exploded into my heart
And I forget I forget the movie song.
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

Come up on different streets, both the streets of shame.
Both dirty, both mean, yes in the dream it was just the same
And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real.
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?

When you can fall for chains of silver,
You can fall for chains of gold,
You can fall for pretty strangers,
And the promises they hold.
You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah!
Now you just say "oh Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him".

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry.
You said "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die".
There's a place for us, in all the movie songs.
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

I can't do the talks, like the talk on the TV
And I can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be.
I can't do everything, but I'll do anything for you,
I can't do anything, except be in love with you!
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be,
All I do is keep the beat, the band company.
Now all I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme,
Juliet, I'd do the stars with you any time!

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry.
You said "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die".
There's a place for us, in all the movie songs.
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

NARRATOR:
A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
Finds a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade
He says something like "you and me babe, how about it?"

ROMEO:
"You and me babe, how about it?"

I don't think this is a tale. I don't think this is a story. I think this is a thought which I (unfortunately) decided to lodge in the tales section of my HP spot.

I was just wondering how much of our life experience is "useful" to us?

Any ideas?

I have a feeling that nothing is wasted and that, although things sometimes seem (ARE!!!) quite difficult ('KIN AWEFUL) they are there for a reason.

I've been trying to think of a bad experience that hasn't had a positive effect.

Needless to say, I have so far listed seven million, three hundred and five thousand two hundred and twenty five.

I just need to look at each of them and find their positive sides.

It's a question of time - given time, we can find a reason for everything - but sometimes we wish that we'd acted differently under the circumstances.

Or at least I do...

Once upon a time,

...oh damn, I can't remember the rest but I think they all lived happily ever after - that's the main thing. Isn't it?

Judy Wallman, a professional genealogical researcher, discovered that Hillary Clinton's great-great uncle, Remus Rodham, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows. On the back of the picture is the inscription "Remus Rodham; horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889."

Judy e-mailed Hillary Clinton for comments. Hillary's staff sent back the following biographical sketch.

"Remus Rodham was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets & intimate dealings with Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to service at a government facility, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887 he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honour, when the platform on which he was standing collapsed."


Now that’s Politics!
