As deviously as I could pull off without going over the top, I laughed. “So many people,” I paused, taking my time, “They think they can do anything they want. They think that they’re the only ones on Earth trying to do this.” My voice bellowed off the walls in echoes, the sound waves traveling around the room at lightning speed. Again I laughed, “So depressing. For them, that is.”
As most do, the man cocked his head in confusion, and before he had a chance to speak, I read his lips. “It’s always the same, too. Who are you? Where is your voice even coming from? Get away from me, freak! You know how things can get pretty boring after a while, right? So do me a favor, and let’s just skip that part.” It surprises me how well of an actor I can be. It really does. I’m not really this cool around most people, I’m usually struggling for the right words to say, but when you do things like this everyday, you get pretty good at it. Especially since a lot of times it’s dealing with people you don’t even know.
The limb I had been sitting on, which held up most of the structure of the small jewelry shop, was made of a smooth mahogany wood, and was the size of a log in the woods that had fallen from a tree. I jumped down from it, his back facing me. He turned around, probably more surprised than startled at the loud clack of my boots on the tile floor. I smirked at him, and knowingly began, “You can just empty that bag right there onto the ground, and get out of here. Or, I can handle you myself. It’s your choice.” His hand trembled as he looked down into the bag of jewelry he was regretfully grasping onto. He didn’t move, but it may have been out of shock. I pulled out a lighter from my back leather pocket, but stopped as my hand floated over the lever, “Wait a second,” I laughed innocently, pretending to have forgotten, “I don’t need this.” I placed it securely in my back pocket, put one hand on my hip, and stuck my other hand out with my palm up.
A small flame licked my fingertip, but didn’t burn it. It obviously intimidated him as it flickered in front of his now flushing face. His eyes widened. I traced a gulp slip down his throat. His lips weren’t moving at all; in fact they were frozen in a thin, straight line. “It’s your choice,” I repeated. He looked me from my head, to my toes, particularly stopping at the flames that now engulfed my finger. But again, it didn’t burn the least bit. See, you can’t really say I’m like every other human. He turned his head hesitantly, not taking his eyes off me, and called out his friend’s name.
He was now slowly walking out the entryway to an extension of the building where they stocked some of their jewelry, screaming, “What? What’s your problem, man?” He got one glance of me, and I smiled pleasantly at him. He dropped his brown ripped up sack to the ground, started heading for the exit, followed by the other man who had done the same thing. “Nice meeting you!” I shouted innocently at them.
When the front glass doors were shut and those creeps were gone, I wringed my hand out in the air to put out the flame on my fingertip. Letting out a deep breath, I ran and grabbed both bags. They were dirty and gross, but they were also full. As fast as I could, I put the expensive jewelry, made of diamonds, jewels, and thing I only dreamed of owning, back in their spots as close to perfectly, and gently shut the top of the heavy glass case they were displayed in. Luckily the men hadn’t shattered it, and nothing was broken. Entering the extension, I returned the other jewelry to where it belonged.
Carefully and quickly I grabbed my long, plaid trench coat from where I had dropped it when I walked in. It covered my leather outfit, making me look somewhat more normal. I pulled my beret from its pocket, pulled it over my head, and casually pushed open the doors that lead outside.
Dawn had long before ate its last bites of daylight and now ruled the night sky like an invading army. The second I stepped onto the sidewalk the crisp breeze tackled me; and my heels created the faintest echo full of emptiness and glowing shallowness. I tightly crossed my arms over my chest holding together either side of my trench.
It wasn’t a long walk home of crossing abandon back roads and parking lots, silent and lonely, to find my roommate sprawled across the couch, the TV loud, an empty bag of potato chips on her chest. She sprouted up when she heard the door swing open. Her hair was a mess of tangles and knots,

Quotes about India.
We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made.
Albert Einstein

India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend and the great grand mother of tradition.
Mark Twain.

If there is one place on the face of earth where all dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India.

India conquered! and dominated China culturally for 20 centuries without ever having to send a single soldier across her border.
Hu Shih

ALL OF THE ABOVE IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG, THE LIST COULD BE ENDLESS.
BUT, if we don’t see even a glimpse of that great India in the India that we see today, it clearly means that we are not working up to our potential; and that if we do, we could once again be an evershining and inspiring country setting a bright path for rest of the world to follow.
I hope you enjoyed it and work towards the welfare of INDIA.

Say proudly, I AM AN INDIAN.

I finished my homework early the other night, and just decided to write this for fun. But then i read over it and i kinda liked it. Just so you know i’ve never rapped before or anything so don’t except rakim-like lyrics it was just for fun. btw it’s not finished i kinda hit a writers block, and i can take your critisism be honest.

It’s about all those underrated mc’s out there (not me) who have talent and work hard, but never made it.

there’s a man out there,
who knows his life ain’t fair,
cuz he’s an mc and has yet to be seen,
yet to drop an album, yet to impress his son
or cop a spot on the hot,
list of rappers who got what’s gotta be got,
he walks in his street,
lookin over his shoulder,
scared to get beat,
by the thugs he owes presidents,
for the drugs he does in his residence,
he’s seen desperate times,
stared into the barrels of nines,
God’s given him no signs,
all he’s got are his rhymes,
he spits fire in his lines,
humiliates those who cross him,
till they beg for him to just go and win,
he hears bout rappers in their diamond penthouses,
walkin arm in arm with twenty-eight spouses,
they think they better than him,
just cuz they got more chedder than him,
but when they’re lazy n’ chillin,
he’s skillin,
mc’s he’s killin, cuz he’s lyrics are illin,
he’s a real killa,
blood spilla, drug sella,
got guns in the cella,
everything he tell ya,
is legit,
the cash he get,
comes from his own sweat,
everything he got he earned,
knows how to go out in victory,
but can also get burned,
retains his dignity,
he lives his raps,
the stories he spins bout bustin caps,
bout shooting dice and totin gats,
are all from experience,
so it don’t make sense,
that he’s still in dump,
workin a gas pump,
but this pain ain’t mine,
i know my life’s fine so why write this line,
cuz i know out there this man is real, tonight his son won’t get to dine
because his life ain’t fine,
at least not like mine,
every night he bows his head in prayer,
he wishes his son could be mayor,
or that his life was more fair,

The Dude asked:


I’d add Dobby back into the movies. Also Bill & Charlie Weasley, maybe Stewart Townsend for Bill. Also, the man who is suppose to play Professor Slughorn(the man who was the professor in Chornicles of Narnia) would’ve made a good Dumbledore and Michael Gambon would’ve made a good Slughorn. Nicole Kidman would make a great Narcissa Malfoy and Djmon Husley(sp? Blood Diamond & Gladiator) would’ve made the PERFECT Kingsley Shacklebolt. Also, I’d make Dan. Radcliffe wear green contacts.
If yes, what would you change?
Most sick people have a lot of time on their hands.
The original Dumbledore was Richard Harris(decesased), who wasn’t in LOTR, that was Ian McKellen(alive).

And no, you didn’t spoil anything for me In my opinion, Bellatrix Lestrange, Lucius Malfoy, Severus Snape, Hagrid & Voldemort were the BEST casting decisions.

John (Thurb) McVey asked:


A clip of “The Diamonds” singing it, sounding just like they did in their 1957 recording and the 1958 movie, was on TV, and there are youtube clips of them as young men and old men singing it, in the latter Maurice Williams taking over the bass in an encore, but Williams and “The Gladiolas” put it on the charts before “The Diamonds” made it the first rock and roll song to be released on a 45 rpm, No. 2 on the charts only because of Elvis’s popularity in 1957! The unpublicized down-side of the era was white singers stealing black singers’ thunder.
Thanks, love to dance, for your answer. The clerk said they don’t have it in stock in that particular store, but they can order it, and he also told another store in town where I could probably get it immediately. Heard the Gladiolas perform it when it first came out. Missed dowop (sp) snce the fifties.

Aliver asked:


It’s been so long since I’ve seen it. For some reason I thought Lou Diamond Phillips played a roll.
One scene is of a man standing behind a seated woman, and he squeezes her throat. The viewer thinks that she has died, but then the man takes her face off to reveal that she was really a robot.
The character that I thought Lou Diamond Phillips played, ended up having a robot that looked like him made too.
(wore a black coat? and carried a gun), and I think the bad guys were able to track his credit card spending to try to locate him.
Sorry it’s so vague!
