MATCHBOOK ROMANCE LYRICS
"Promise"
what would you say if i asked you not to go
to forget everyone, forget everything and start over with me
would you take my hand and never let me go
promise me you'll never let me go
and the stars aren't out tonight,
but neither are we to look up at them
why does hello feel like goodbye?
these memories can't replace,
these wishes i wished and these dreams i chased
take this broken heart and make it right
i feel like i lost everything when you're gone
left remembering what it's like to have you here with me
i thought you should know,
you're not making this easy
i never thought i'd be the one to say
please don't, please don't leave me
so fall asleep tonight, cuz' that brings me closer to you

Etain smiled. "Were it not that you understood my meaning, and answered correctly, you had been less your lord."
"Had i been less my lord," said Aeron Queen of Kelts very softly, and now she too was smiling, "No matter what help your own lord had given me, i had levelled your palace to the ground and sown the earth of it with salt and fenced it round with cold iron, and you and all your folk to be scattered whistling down the wind for an age and an age of this world."

What Dreams Are Made Of
Lyrics :
Hey now
Hey now
Hey now
Hey now
Have you ever seen such a beautiful night?
I could almost kiss the stars for shining so bright
When i see you smile and i go
oh oh oh
i would never want to miss this
cuz in my heart i know what this is
[Chorus]
Hey now
Hey now
This is what dreams are made of
Hey now
Hey now
This is what dreams are made of
I've got somewhere i belong
I've got somebody to love
This is what dreams are made of
Have you ever wondered what life is about?
You could search the world and never figure it out
you don't have to sail all the oceans
no no no
happiness is no mystery and
here now it's you and me
[Chorus]
Open your eyes
(This is what dreams are made of)
shout to the sky
(This is what dreams are made of)
Then i see u smile and i go
oh oh oh
Yesterday my life was duller
Now everything's technicolor
[Chorus]
(Hey now)
(Hey now)
Hey now
This is what dreams
This is what dreams are made of

Love in Dreams
I went to find my way through darkening wells
of raindrop fantasies, and snowfall love.
To find my mystery and where it dwells,
searching softly as angels fly above.
Am I so sworn to bear this burning heart
that fills with hopes of earning yearning dreams?
I dreamt to have loved her but from the start
I will need more than fairy tales it seems.
Although my hunger and rumbling lust
do curse at unrelenting consciousness,
I cannot find my truth amidst the dust
and dreams of hollow empty heartedness.
So from this sleep of fleeting hearts I rise
and find my truth in your heart lies.
By Owen Gray

Got this off Nina's profile...and girl! its HILARIOUS! haha someone should try it and tell me what happens!
I went to the store the other day, and I was in there for only about 5 minutes. When I came out there was a damn motorcycle cop writing a parking ticket. So I went up to him and said, "Come on, buddy, how about giving a guy a break?" He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. So I called him a pencil-necked Nazi. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tires, so I called him a piece of horse dodo. He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket! This went on for about 30 minutes. The more I abused him, the more tickets he wrote. I didn't care. My car was parked around the corner. I try to have a little fun each day. It's important.

Message.
Shabbat Shalom, Rabbi Michael Gold
PARSHAT KEE TETZE
PEOPLE ON THE FRINGES
"You shall not abuse a needy and destitute laborer, whether a fellow
countryman or a stranger in one of the communities of your land."
(Deuteronomy 24:14)
I saw a fascinating movie this week called Dirty Pretty Things. Set in
London, it shows the world of illegal immigrants and others living at the
fringes of society. The story revolves around a doctor from Nigeria, now forced to
drive a taxi by day and work in a seedy hotel by night. He chews medicinal
roots to stay awake. He befriends a young Turkish woman who works as a hotel
maid, and then in a sweat shop. The story takes off when the doctor discovers
some shady happenings in the hotel.
One scene in particular greatly moved me. Someone asks the doctor, "Who
are you people?" He answers rather sadly, "We are the people you don't even
notice. We are the ones who drive you places, who clean up after you." They
are the ones who do the work that most of us do not want to do. Every
society has those living on the fringes, those who pick our vegetables, clean our
homes, sew our clothes, do much of the work many of us do not want to do. And
we barely notice them.
In this week's portion we read more laws than any other portion in the
Torah. They cover a variety of topics, both ethical and ritual, with no
systematic order nor clear organization. They call for the people Israel, once they
enter the land, to be a holy nation. And of course holiness is to uphold the
highest ethical standard of behavior. Central to that vision is how society
treats those living on the fringes.
There are many such laws mentioned in the portion. Employers may not
exploit a day laborer who depends on this wage to support himself or herself. A
creditor may not enter a private home to take clothing belonging to the
debtor. A runaway slave may not be forcibly returned to his owner. The body of a
criminal executed may not be left out to be mocked overnight. And of course,
special care must be taken for the widows and the orphans, those without
clear means of support.
The essence of these laws is that we are to see all our fellow human
beings, even those on the fringes, as created in the image of God. All have a
fundamental dignity and deserve to be treated with kindness and respect. Most
important, we need to see the others, the people we do not even notice.
Many of the people who read this message are in well-paying, highly
respected professions. We are the managers in the corporate world, the physicians
in the hospital, the lawyers in the office buildings, the professors on the
campuses, the clergy in the synagogue and church. Do we even notice the support
people who help us do our job? How do we treat the secretaries and other
clerical workers, the health workers and technicians, the legal aids and
couriers, the graduate students and teaching assistants, the religious school
teachers? There is certainly a hierarchy out there. And equally important, how do
we treat those on the bottom of the chain of authority, the food servers and
maintenance workers and janitors? Do we even notice them? My question to those
in the professional world is, do you know the name of the person who cleans
your office?
The Torah is teaching us that a society rises or falls based on how it
treats those on the fringes. For years I have been giving advice to young
people seeking a marriage partner. I have said, "Look at your dates. How do they
treat subordinates? Not their boss but their employees. How do they treat
the shop keeper in a store, the waitress in a restaurant, the doorman in a
building? This will tell you far more about their values than hours of discussion
about politics."
The movie I saw this week moved me not simply because it was a dramatic
story with good acting, but because it showed another side of a beautiful city,
London. It is the side tourists do not want to see. But we need to see
those on the fringes. For we cannot pretend to love God and ignore any of God's
children.
