We've already gotten a significant grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and a university consortium. I think the whole sector of Foundations, potentially with government support, is promising - more than promising, I think, it's substantial.

If you look at the fact that the best chance we have for a good economy is the private sector. The government cannot create jobs. If the government could create jobs, then Communism would have worked. But didn't work. So what we have to do is allow the private sector and the entrepreneurial spirit to lead us back to a job-filled recovery.
Americans cannot maintain their essential faith in government if there are two Americas, in which the private sector's work subsidizes the disproportionate benefits of this new public sector elite.

All We Ever Find
Say exactly how you feel
Right now youre free to say it all
There is no one here to judge you
I only love you
Youre free to close your eyes and fall
You can trust me, this is real
Say exactly how you feel
Tell me all your dreams
And what you think love means
Well lock the world outside
Embrace the gift of time
Promising forever
Knowing that this moment
Might be all we ever find
Every breath of who you are
Tells a story that I love
I have finally found the truth
In what I see in you
And what I feel with every touch
The simple beauty of your heart
In every breath of who you are
Tell me all your dreams
And what you think love means
Well lock the world outside
Embrace the gift of time
Promising forever
Knowing that this moment
Might be all we ever find
Tell me all your dreams
And what you think love means
Well lock the world outside
Embrace the gift of time
Promising forever
Knowing that this moment
Might be all we ever find
Promising forever
Knowing that this moment
Might be all we ever find

The Benefits Of Rest
Each dawn...
There is a promising freshness in the air,
One awakening to take a deep breath of it...
Wishes would linger on.
And between dawn and sunset,
There seems an attraction to madness...
Some people are wilfully open to project.
But then,
When midnight arrives...
Fewer minds are concentrating,
On disturbing the peace.
At least,
Each dawn...
There is a promising freshness in the air,
One awakening to take a deep breath of it...
Wishes would linger on and stays there.
With hopes that those attracted to madness...
Have magically overslept to discover the benefits of rest.

Just Good Friends
Words and music: rick astley
Said I love you a thousand times
You dont betray your feelings
But I can read the signs.
Stars are shining on a sea of tears
I show my true emotions
I have felt for all these years.
You can not tell me
That its got to end this way
Theres nothing more to say.
I just cant believe
That youll walk on out that door
When I need you more and more.
[chorus}
(cos/well) Im falling in love with you again
After promising to be
Just good friends
You say you need me but you turn away
Ive got to show you how I feel
Ive got to make you stay.
You cannot tell me
That its got to end this way
Theres nothing more to say.
I just cant believe that youll
Walk on out that door
When I need you more and more
cos Im falling in love with you again
After promising to be
Just good friends

Mubarak Refused To Relinquish Power
It was an impact late-night TV address
Mubarak refused to relinquish power
appeasement dismissed his government
promising a new administration to tackle
unemployment to promote democracy
sadly such appeasement falls little to late

Crazy Beautiful
Liquid, melancholy dreams
Tell me what it means
'Cause you drive me crazy
Driftwood, won't you float me down your stream
Tell me what it means
'Cause you drive me crazy
'Cause you're crazy beautiful
'Cause you're crazy beautiful
'Cause you're crazy beautiful
Don't go looking in my eyes tonight
Don't go telling me lies tonight
Don't go promising the skies tonight
When you're crazy
'Cause you're crazy beautiful
'Cause you're crazy beautiful
Listen, all I need is you
Won't you tell me what to do
'Cause you drive me crazy
Baby, is it pulling on you heart
Is it tearing you apart
'Cause you drive me crazy
'Cause you're crazy beautiful
'Cause you're crazy beautiful
Don't go looking in my eyes tonight
Don't go telling me lies tonight
Don't go promising the skies tonight
When you're crazy
'Cause you're crazy beautiful
'Cause you're crazy beautiful
'Cause you're crazy beautiful
If you don't need me I think I'll go
If you don't want me tell me no
If you don't need me I think I'll go
Oooh, Oooh, Ooooooh
Don't go looking in my eyes tonight
Don't go telling me lies tonight
Don't go promising the skies tonight
When you're crazy
'Cause you're crazy beautiful
'Cause you're crazy beautiful
'Cause you're crazy beautiful

Since It Is The First Of August
The first of the month seems so promising,
Doesn't it?
An elevation of expectations begins.
And today,
Since it is the first of August...
There is a sense of a renewed committment to life,
Clinging onto the atmosphere.
It is as if the 'spirits' are granting us all,
Extra wishes!
Like the road of happiness is being cleared of debris.
The first of the month seems so promising,
Doesn't it?
An elevation of expectations begins.
Why do conflicts seem foolish to digest?
And all this talk about one's color and brain size...
Exposes the best of professed ignorance.
Making less sense to comprehend.
Isn't it ignorance that creates conflict?
Well...
It is the first day of August.
And soon Fall will remind us all,
Of the approaching holidays that will again amaze,
Our sentiments.
With no other requirements from us but to just exist!

My Foundations
A house is nothing
Without its foundations.
Just as much as
I am without my foundations.
Foundations hold everything together.
Safe, intact and ready for anything,
Ready for renovations,
Or in my case changes,
Ready for tornadoes,
Or in my case challenges,
Ready for earthquakes,
Or in my case very down days,
Foundations make things ready for life.
Without foundations
A house cannot be built,
Without a house.
A couple cannot make a family,
Without a family,
A home cannot be made,
And to me home is everything,
With my foundations,
I wouldn't have grown up in Guelph,
Without my foundations,
I wouldnt have had a perfect childhood,
Without my foundations,
I wouldn't have travelled across the world,
Without my foundations,
I wouldn't be who I am now,
Without my foundations,
My life wouldn't have so much love,
Without my foundations,
I would be nothing,
Just like a house is
Without its foundations.
I am proud and grateful,
To call my foundations,
My mother
And most of all my father.
