I Wanna Get Next To You - Rose Royce

Sittin' here in this chair waitin' on you
Ah baby, to see things my way
But not a word do you say
You won't even look my way
Boy, I'm spending my dimes, wasting
My time, talking till I'm black and blue
Ah, can't you see I wanna get next to you

Dreams of you and I go sailing by
Whenever your eyes meet mine
(You're so fine)
And boy you make me feel so insecure
You're so beautiful and pure,
Why must you be unkind
(And tell me I'm not your kind, blowin my mind)
Boy, my, my money is low and I know
That I can't take you to the
Fancy places you might wanna go
Still I wanna get next to you
I wanna get next to you

Boy, you can bend me, shake me, make me
Whatever it takes to please you
I'm willing to do
'Cause you're my dream come true
And I wanna get next to you

I wanna get next to you
I wanna make you mine (for all the time)
I wanna get next to you
I promise I'll never make you blue
I wanna get next to you
I wanna get next to you

Oh What A Night - Four Seasons

Oh, what a night.
Late December back in '63.
What a very special time for me,
'Cause I remember what a night.

Oh, what a night.
You know, I didn't even know her name,
But I was never gonna be the same.
What a lady. What a night.

Oh, I. I got a funny feeling when she walked
In the room and I,
As I recall it ended much too soon.

Oh, what a night,
Hypnotizing, mesmerizing me.
She was everything I dreamed she'd be.
Sweet surrender, what a night!

I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder
Spinnin' my head around and taking my body under.
Oh, what a night!

Oh, I. I got a funny feeling when she walked
In the room and I,
As I recall it ended much too soon.

Oh, what a night.
Why'd it take so long to see the light?
Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right.
What a lady, what a night!

I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder
Spinnin' my head around and taking my body under.
Oh, what a night!
(Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do.)
Oh, what a night!
(Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do.)
Oh, what a night!
(Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do.)
Oh, what a night!
(Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do.)
Oh, what a night!
(Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do.)
Oh, what a night!
(Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do

Study: Chimps calm each other with hugs, kisses

By RANDOLPH E. SCHMID, AP Science Writer Mon Jun 16, 9:16 PM ET

WASHINGTON - For most folks, a nice hug and some sympathy can help a bit after we get pushed around. Turns out, chimpanzees use hugs and kisses the same way. And it works. Researchers studying people's closest genetic relatives found that stress was reduced in chimps that were victims of aggression if a third chimp stepped in to offer consolation.

"Consolation usually took the form of a kiss or embrace," said Dr. Orlaith N. Fraser of the Research Center in Evolutionary Anthropology and Paleoecology at Liverpool John Moores University in England.

"This is particularly interesting," she said, because this behavior is rarely seen other than after a conflict.

"If a kiss was used, the consoler would press his or her open mouth against the recipient's body, usually on the top of the head or their back. An embrace consisted of the consoler wrapping one or both arms around the recipient."

The result was a reduction of stress behavior such as scratching or self-grooming by the victim of aggression, Fraser and colleagues report in Tuesday's edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Dr. Frans de Waal of the Yerkes Primate Center at Emory University in Atlanta said the study is important because it shows the relationship between consolation and stress reduction. Previous researchers have claimed that consolation had no effect on stress, said de Waal, who was not part of Fraser's research team.

"This study removes doubt that consolation really does what the term suggests: provide relief to distressed parties after conflict. The evidence is compelling and makes it likely that consolation behavior is an expression of empathy," de Waal said.

De Waal suggested that this evidence of empathy in apes is "perhaps equivalent to what in human children is called 'sympathetic concern.'"

That behavior in children includes touching and hugging of distressed family members and "is in fact identical to that of apes, and so the comparison is not far-fetched," he said.

While chimps show this empathy, monkeys do not, he added.

There is also suggestive evidence of such behavior in large-brained birds and dogs, said Fraser, but it has not yet been shown that it reduces stress levels in those animals.

Previous research on conflict among chimps concentrated on cases where there is reconciliation between victim and aggressor, with little attention to intervention by a third party.

Fraser and colleagues studied a group of chimps at the Chester Zoo in England from January 2005 to September 2006, recording instances of aggression such as a bite, hit, rush, trample, chase or threat.

The results show that "chimpanzees calm distressed recipients of aggression by consoling them with a friendly gesture," Fraser said.

Consolation was most likely to occur between chimpanzees who already had valuable relationships, she added.

The research was supported by the Leakey Trust.

Horoscope: The situation at work seems impossible, but if you keep hammering away at it, you should find a good answer. It may take a while, but today's efforts should pay off quite handsomely!

Fantasy - Mariah Carey

Oh, when you walk by every night
Talking sweet and looking fine
I get kinda hectic inside
Mmm, baby I'm so into you
Darling, if you only knew
All the things that flow through my mind

Sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
So deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
Fantasy

Images of rapture
Creep into me slowly
As you're going to my head
And my heart beats faster
When you take me over
Time and time and time again

Sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
So deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby

Sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
So deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
Fantasy

I'm in heaven
With my boyfriend
My laughing boyfriend
There's no beginning
And there is no end
Feels like I'm dreaming
But I'm not sleeping

Sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
So deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
Fantasy

Sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
So deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
Fantasy

Sweet, sweet fantasy baby
Sweet, sweet fantasy baby

Picture of You - Boyzone

Didn't they say that I would make a mistake
Didn't they say you were gonna be trouble
People told me you were too much to take
I could see it, I didn't wanna know
I let you in and you let me down
You pushed me up and you turned my whole life around
I could feel that I had no where to go
I was alone, how was I too know that..
You'll be there, when I needed somebody
You'll be there, the only one who can help me

I had a picture of you in my mind
never knew it could be so wrong
Why'd it take me so long just to find
the friend that was there all along.

Who'd believe that after all we've been through
I'd be able to put my whole trust in you
Goes to show you can't forgive and forget
looking back, I have no regrets cause..

You will be there, when I needed somebody
You will be there, the only one to help me

I had a picture of you in my mind
Never knew it could be so wrong
Why'd it take me so long just to find
the friend that was there all along

You will be there, when I needed somebody
You will be there, the only one to help me

I had a picture of you in my mind
never knew it could be so wrong
Why'd it take me so long just to find
the friend that was there all along

All That I Need - Boyzone

I was lost and alone
Trying to grow, making my way down that long winding road
Had no reason, no rhyme
Like a song out of time
And there you were, standing in front of my eyes
How could I be such a fool
To let go of love and break all the rules
Girl when you walked out that door
left a hole in my heart
And now I know for sure

You're the air that I breathe
Girl you're all that I need
And I wanna thank you, lady
You're the words that I read
You're the light that I see
And your love is all that I need

I was searching in vain
Playing a game
Had no-one else but myself left to blame
You came into my world
No diamonds or pearls
Could ever replace what you gave to me girl

Just like a castle of sand
Girl, I almost let love slip right out of my hands
And just like a flower needs rain
I will stand by your side through the joy and the pain

[CHORUS X 2]

You're all that I need, girl
You're the air that I breathe, yeah
And I want to thank you
(and I want to thank you, lady)

You're the words that I read, girl
You're love is all I need, yeah
And I want to thank you
(and I want to thank you, lady)

You're all that I need, girl
You're the air that I breathe, yeah
And I want to thank you..

Oh Girl - Chi-Lites

Oh girl, I'd be in trouble if you left me now
'Cause I don't know where to look for love
I just don't know how
Oh girl, how I depend on you
To give me love when I need it
Right on time, you would always be

All my friends, call me a fool
They say "let the woman take care of you"
So I tried to be hip, and think like the crowd
But even the crowd can't help me now, oh

Oh girl, tell me what am I gonna do
I know I've got a guilty face
Girl I feel so out of place
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Don't know where to go, who to see, yeah

Oh girl, I guess I better go
I can save myself a lot of useless tears
Girl I gotta get away from here

Oh girl, pain will double if you leave me now
'Cause I don't know where to look for love
And I don't, I don't know how, oh yeah, mm

Oh girl, why do I love you so, yeah

Hmmm, better be on my way, I can't stay, yeah
Have you ever seen such an empty face.

Time To Say Goodbye - Sarah Brightman

Quando sono sala
Sogno all'orrizonte
E mancan le parole
Si lo sa che nono ce luce
In una stanza quando manca il sole
Si non ci sei tu con me, con me

Su le finestre
Monstra a tutti il mio cuore
Che hai accesso
Chiundi dentro me
La luce che hai incontrato per strada

Time to say goodbye,
Paesi che no ho mai
Veduto e visssuto con te
Adesso si li vivro con te partiro
Su navi per mari
Che io lo so
No no non essitono piu,
It's time to say goodbye

Quando sei lontana
Sogno all'orizzonte
E mancan le parole
E io si lo so che sei con me

Tu mia lunatu sei qui con me
Mio sole tu sei qui con me ,con me,
Con me,con me

Time to say goodbye
Paesi che no ho mai
Veduto e vissuto con te
Adesso si li vivro
Con te partiro
Su navi per mari
Che io lo so
No no non esitono piu
Con te io li rivivro
Con te partiro
Su navi per mari
Che io lo so
No no non esistono piu
Con te io li rivivro
Con te parti ro

Lo con te

CON TE PARTIRĂ’
I’LL GO WITH YOU

When I’m alone
I dream on the horizon and words fail;
yes, I know there is no light
in a room where the sun is absent,
if you are not with me, with me.
At the windows show everyone my heart
which you set alight; enclose within me
the light you encountered on the street.

I’ll go with you,
to countries I never saw and shared with you,
now, yes, I shall experience them.
I’ll go with you on ships across seas
which, I know, no, no, exist no longer;
with you I shall experience them.

When you are far away
I dream on the horizon And words fail,
and, Yes, I know that you are with me;
you, my moon, are here with me,
my sun, you are here with me,
with me, with me, with me.

I’ll go with you,
To countries I never saw and shared with you,
now, yes, I shall experience them.
I’ll go with you on ships across seas
which, I know, no, no, exist no longer,
with you I shall experience them again.
I’ll go with you
On ships across seas which, I know,
No, no, exist no longer;
with you I shall experience them again.
I’ll go with you,
I with you.

Kung Fu Panda...

This movie was fun to watch. The preview made me want to watch it from the start. It just had the kid appeal to it as well as adults. I laughed a lot during the movie. There are certain character voices that would make you think twice about, but if you're not sure check out the website. The website does have clips from the movie, but it doesn't give away the plot or the ending. One of my favorite movies for animation.

Horoscope: Work-related issues could get pretty hard to deal with today, as everyone is looking out for themselves and there's just way too much ego in the room. Try to bring everyone back down to earth.

My Interaction with a new call up...


This is a picture of my with Brian Horwitz before the game. I called him over and he asked me if I wanted it signed on the sweet spot and I said YES! I have a baseball with a player signing on the sweet spot. WOW.

Horoscope: You may need to put off some important plans for a while -- maybe waiting for a better time, maybe waiting for someone else to sign up. In either case, don't worry about the long term too much.

Did you ever wonder what happned to music?

I went to an event and there was music being played. I knew most of the songs that were almost twice as old as myself. It got me thinking what the hell happened to music? It's just not something that is timeless anymore. I mean the remakes of some songs are great because it turns it a bit more modern, but still the original is fine.

The songs today are crazy. An example would have to be Black Eye Peas My Humps. It's talking about her butt. A song about her ass? Ok, I guess that there have been other songs about "ass", but how many can you name besides Sir Mix-A-Lot and Baby Got Back, Back That Ass Up by Juvenile, and Wreckx-N-Effect Rumpshaker.

Horoscope: It's a great day to commune with nature -- or as close as you can get to it, anyway. Your connection with the real world is deep and potent, so get out there and take in the fresh air for a while!
