JETHRO TULL

She moves past me with aged grace, but her body shows only the latter. I shudder and think of my rotund shape. She winks at me and smiles, reading my thoughts.
“Come ‘ere, fat boy,” she coos, and for some reason I think of my zombie-obsessed friend; but it’s only a momentary lapse of attention. Her body draws my focus and I forget to blink; my eyes get dry quickly and start to tear up. ”Don’t cry. I was just kidding. You ain’t fat. Come ‘ere.”
I move slowly towards her and she hugs me close to her, breathing into my face, her coffee-breath reminding me of the smell of dog feces. Her chest is pushed up against me and I quickly push her away, wiping the tears from my eyes.
“You ain’t fat. You’re just big —”

IRON MAIDEN - ACES HIGH

There goes the siren that warns of the air raid,Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak.Out for the scramble we've got to get airborne,Got to get up for the coming attack.Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines,Remove all the wheelblocks there's no time to waste.Gathering speed as we head down the runway,Got to get airborne before it's too late.Running, scrambling, fire,Rolling, turning, diving, going in again.Running, scrambling, fire, Rolling, turning, diving, Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die.Won't you run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high!Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers,Let off a sharp burst and then turn away.Roll over, spin round to come in behind them,Move to their blindsides and firing again.Bandits at 8 O'clock move in behind us,Ten ME-109's out of the sun.Ascending and turning our spitfires to face them,Heading straight for them I press down my guns.Rolling, turning, diving,Rolling, turning, diving, going in again.Rolling, turning, diving, Rolling, turning, diving, Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die.Won't you run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high!!!

IRON MAIDEN

From the coast of gold, across the seven seas,I'm traveling on, far and wide,But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself,And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but someone else.I close my eyes, and think of home,Another city goes by, in the night,Ain't it funny how it is, you never miss it til it's gone away,And my heart is lying there and will be til my dying day.Chorus:So understandDon't waste your time always searching for those wasted years,Face up...make your stand,And realize you're living in the golden years.Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind,Can't ease this pain, so easily,When you can't find the words to say, it's hard to make it through another day,And it makes me wanna cry, and throw my hands up to the sky.Chorus:So understandDon't waste your time always searching for those wasted years,Face up...make your stand,And realize you're living in the golden years.

SURREALISM

Surrealism is a cultural movement and artistic style that was founded in 1924 by André Breton. Surrealism style uses visual imagery from the subconscious mind to create art without the intention of logical comprehensibility.
The movement was begun primarily in Europe, centered in Paris, and attracted many of the members of the Dada community. Influenced by the psychoanalytical work of Freud and Jung, there are similarities between the Surrealist movement and the Symbolist movement of the late 19th century.
Some of the greatest artists of the 20th century became involved in the Surrealist movement, and the group included Giorgio de Chirico, Man Ray, René Magritte, and many others.
The Surrealist movement eventually spread across the globe, and has influenced artistic endeavors from painting and sculpture to pop music and film directing.
The greatest known Surrealist artist is the world famous Salvador Dali.

LAUGH IS STILL THE BEST MEDICINE

This guy goes to a bar that's on the tenth floor of a hotel. He sits down and has a couple of drinks, then stands up, announces loudly that he has had enough, and goes over and jumps out the window. Now, there are two men who are sitting at a window table, and having that natural human curiosity about the grotesque, watch as this man plummets to certain death.
However, just as he is about to hit the ground, he rights himself, pulls his feet underneath himself,and lands gracefully. He then turns and comes back into the building. Naturally, the two men are amazed. The guy comes back into the bar, orders a few drinks, then repeats the process. The two men at the window seat are astounded! When the guy returns and repeats the procedure AGAIN, the two men stop him before he jumps and ask him how on earth he does that. He replies "It's simple, really. There's an air vent down by the ground, and if you catch the updraft, you can right yourself and land on the ground with no problems." Then he proceeded to jump out the window again. Well, these two men decided that they just HAD to try this, so they jumped out the window, and SPLAT! -- made a mess hitting all over the ground.
Meanwhile, the first guy has made it back up to the bar. When he sits down to order his drinks, the bartender says "one more, superman?"

FUNNY STORIES - The religious horse

Once a man bought a horse. You had to say ?hallelujah? to make it go and ?amen? to make it stop.
The man was riding his horse one day but then he realized he was riding to an edge of a cliff.
He was so scared he forgot how to make the horse stop. He thought this was the end of his life and he started praying, ending the prayer by saying ?amen?.
The horse suddenly stopped at the edge of the cliff. 'hallelujah' said the man with a sigh of relief and off went the horse!

JOKES

During the cold war the fear of communism and Soviet influence was prevalent in most of the Western world countries. The following conversation takes place in the office of the President of the United States.- Mr. President, the Russians have just landed on the Moon and started painting it red! They are working fast - a quarter of the Moon is already finished!- Ok, so what is the problem?- But Mr. President, if they make it all red, the communist symbol will hang over heads of the entire world population!- Don’t worry about it, just let them work.Two days later, the adviser storms into President’s office again.- Mr. President, they are almost done with the first half!- No worries, just let them keep going.Later that week, the same adviser sadly declares to the President.- Mr. President, if you look up, you’ll notice that the Moon is completely red now. The Russians are done.- Ok, now that they are done, please send one of our shuttles and have them write “Coca-Cola” right across.

AMAZON RAINFOREST

Natural rubber (or latex): used to make many rubber products from electronic components to condoms. Rubber was responsible for the first economic cycle of development in the Amazon rainforest. Natural rubber is extracted from tall trees called "Seringueiras" and still today is a major activity for many families.
• Brazil-nut: the nut is actually a seed. The Brazil-nut is one of the biggest nuts of the world and is exported all over the planet. Local populations use this nutritious seed to make all sort of food and condiments;
• Guarana: is a small berry-like fruit that is very sweet and juicy. You can taste it in natural refreshments anywhere in Brazil , they are also used to make sodas. Brazilians are very fond of their guarana sodas and it's something they usually miss when living outside Brazil . Because of that you can find it in any city that has a Brazilian community like Miami , New York or Paris. People use Guarana to stay awake and active in parties and raves, since guarana has an effect similar to caffeine without the problems related to it. Nowadays some companies sell Guarana as a weigh loss substance, although its value for weight loss has not been proven.
• Açai: another fruit that has a strong taste and purple color is very nutritious and brings energy after consumption. It is used by athletes of all kinds. It hit the Brazilian market outside the Amazon region only in the nineties when professional fighters and gym-addicts start to eat Acai whenever they could. Nowadays you can find juices and ice creams of Açai anywhere in Brazil and is steadily going out to the world market.
• Many minerals like iron, manganese, uranium, bauxite, copper, gypsum, lignite, nickel and gold can be found in the Amazon rainforest region. Most of the bauxite used in the world comes from here and bauxite is the primary component of aluminum. Chances are that your aluminum soda can came from the Amazon rainforest.
• Diamonds and other less valuable gems are mined in the Amazon rainforest. These gems are obtained by river mining, most of it still using manual techniques. The gems are responsible for the great migration of people in the sixties to the Amazon rainforest searching for diamonds and gold.
• Craftwork: if you imagine hundreds of indigenous tribes you can also imagine how much craftwork like baskets, tapestry, sculptures, musical instruments, body ornaments, primitive weaponry, furniture and rituals related objects you can find in the Amazon rainforest. The variety is so great due to the number of different indigenous cultures. Some professional interior designers use a lot of primitive art for decoration because it's original and there are very beautiful works.
• Wood: there are hundreds of different woods in the Amazon Rain Forest , each one best used for a different purpose like furniture, construction, wood sculptures or canoes. Unfortunately a large part of this production is from illegal extraction and it hurts the forest and the local fauna. Legal extractors always have a sustainability certificate like the one provided by FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and guarantee that the wood was cut respecting environmental standards.
• Medicinal plants: there are many medicinal plants in the Amazon rainforest. Researching those plants will produce a wide range of new medicine for many kinds of disease. Substances that may cure diseases like cancer, AIDS and Alzheimer are potentially hidden inside plants in the Amazon rainforest.
