"There’s a picture on my kitchen wall, looks like Jesus and his friends involved; there’s a party..."

Tue, 27 Jul 2010 02:42:01 -0400

“

There’s a picture on my kitchen wall,
looks like Jesus and his friends involved;
there’s a party getting started in the yard.
And there’s a couple getting steamy in the car parked in the drive,
was I too young to see this with my eyes?

And by the pool that night, apparently,
the chemicals weren’t mixed properly.
You hit your head and then forgot your name.
And you woke up, at the bottom by the drain.
And now your altitude and memory’s a shame.

What about taking this empty cup and filling it up,
with a little bit more of innocence,
I haven’t had enough, it’s probably because when you’re young
It’s okay to be easily ignored.
I like to believe it, was all about, love for a child.

When the house was left in shambles,
who was there to handle all the broken bits of glass?
Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass or the other way around?
Well I’m far too old to care about that now.

What about taking this, empty cup and filling it up
with a little bit more of innocence,
I haven’t had enough, it’s probably because when you’re young,
it’s okay to be easily ignored.
I’d like to believe it was all about love for a child.

It’s kinda nice to work the floor since the divorce
I’ve been enjoying both my Christmases and my birthday cakes.
And taking drugs and making love at far too young an age.
And they never check to see my grades
what a fool I’d be to start complaining now.

What about taking this, empty cup and filling it up
with a little bit more of some innocence
I haven’t had enough, it’s probably because when you’re young,
it’s okay to be easily ignored.
I’d love to believe it, was all about, love for a child.

It was all about love…

This post is in regards to my recent effort in running a stand for the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation.

I have been contacting various retailers such as companies and record labels looking for items to raffle off and I’m coming up with some good stuff! Get excited! This raffle will take place on one of the lemonade stand days and I’m encouraging all that can to stop by and participate. You can get some good stuff and raise some money for charity! If you cannot come down here you can send money electronically to my PayPal or via the ALSF website as a donation. Please contact me for further details about electronically sending money. Please don’t let distance hinder your participation! (Some items I have already are signed posters/CDs from bands such as All Time Low and Anarbor…)

As always, if anyone has questions or comments, or would like to volunteer their services, I can always use you. Distance is no matter. I could use many people to send emails and get donations, do not hesitate to contact me! Reply to this post, reblog, message me, talk to me on facebook, @reply me on Twitter, I’m on many social networks (listed below).

Thank you,

Gulf Oil Leaks Could Gush for Years: "We don't have any idea how to stop this."

Sun, 16 May 2010 02:14:12 -0400

Gulf Oil Leaks Could Gush for Years: "We don't have any idea how to stop this.":

kateoplis:

If efforts fail to cap the leaking Deepwater Horizon wellhead in the Gulf of Mexico, oil could gush for years—poisoning coastal habitats for decades.

The most recent estimates are that the leaking wellhead has been spewing 5,000 barrels a day, and the oil is still flowing robustly, which suggests that the reserve “would take years to deplete,” said David Rensink, incoming president of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. “You’re talking about a reservoir that could have tens of millions of barrels in it.”

At that rate, it’s possible the Gulf oil spill’s damage to the environment will have lingering effects akin to those of the largest oil spill in history, which happened in Saudi Arabia in 1991, said Miles Hayes, co-founder of Research Planning.

During the Gulf War, the Iraqi military intentionally spilled up to 336 million gallons of oil into the Persian Gulf to slow U.S. troop advances, according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Hayes was part of a team that later studied the environmental impacts of the spill, which impacted about 500 miles of Saudi Arabian coastline.

The scientists discovered a “tremendous” amount of oiled sediment remained on the Saudi coast 12 years after the spill—about 3 million cubic feet. (See “Exxon Valdez Anniversary: 20 Years Later, Oil Remains.”)

well, this isn’t good…
