King of the Birds, Lord of the Skies
Gather ye rose buds while ye may, old time is still a flying;
and this same rose that you see today, tomorrow will be dying.

All Can Be Justified

Of course, anger can always be justified.
But then, so can forgiveness.
Just depends on how much more you want from the adventure.

One Degree's Difference!

At 99 degrees, water is hot.
At 100 degrees, it boils.
And with boiling water, comes steam.
And with steam, you can power a train.

One extra degree makes all the difference!

Moral of the story:
When you make me boil enough to produce stream, I will charge back like a bullet train!

伤追人

歌曲:伤追人
歌手:古巨基
专辑:大雄

本应打九九九可以求助
无奈你不是像持刀伤害我
我到底惊慌什么
为了分居只好请你留坐
谁料你竟胁持他当陪坐
如像一把掌掴我

知了计算机杂志旧信合照护照
尚有一个电炉欠你这么多
要他帮手也太绝吧
让我欣赏他怎羞辱我

我最多
把躯壳暂时
就当不属我
麻木去受你
最后重击一趟

怕什么
我坚拒为情敌驳火
原来伤懂追我
不必去躲

或者他好得必须要炫耀
无奈我的劫后余生都赔掉
宁愿以后不见了

给你大我辱我累我害我话我问我
一切事情已了结清楚
我只想祷告看命运
还能想得出怎亏待我

我最多
把躯壳暂时
就当不属我
麻木去受你
最后重击一趟

怕什么
我坚拒为情敌驳火
伤口早已忘我
分开得够清楚

The Final Countdown...

.
Name: Elvis Presley aka the King
Earnings: US$49 million
Occupation: Musician
Died: Aug. 16, 1977
Age: 42
Cause: Heart attack
.
Thirty years after his death, this handsome aka the King once again reigns supreme. Plans to overhaul the once-lethargic estate are paying off big-time for publicly traded CKX Entertainment, which owns the bulk of the empire. (Presley's daughter Lisa Marie retains a 15% interest.) Attendance and spending at Graceland are up thanks to a new ad campaign, renovations at the sprawling complex and a new premium VIP tour program. The Presley estate has also inked new licensing deals with Cirque du Soleil, American Greetings and Hershey's.

Countdown from 2

.
Name: John Lennon
Earnings: US$44 million
Occupation: Musician
Died: Dec. 8, 1980
Age: 40
Cause: Murder
.
Lennon's posthumous income was buoyed considerably over the past year thanks to resolutions of long-standing lawsuits. In February, the remaining Beatles and their heirs settled a trademark dispute with Apple Inc., reportedly for as much as $100 million. (The Beatles' commercial interests are overseen by a firm called Apple Corps.) Two months later, the band finally resolved a 30-year battle with record label EMI over alleged unpaid royalties. Both pacts clear the way for the Beatles to begin selling their iconic catalogue of hits online.

Countdown from 3

.
Name: Charles M. Schulz
Earnings: US$35 million
Occupation: Cartoonist
Died: Feb. 12, 2000
Age: 77
Cause: Colon Cancer
.
Peanuts might be the understatement of the century. Snoopy and his posse, featured on some 18,000 cartoon strips during Schulz's 50-year career, are the lynchpin of a massive merchandising empire that encompasses television and newspaper syndication, as well as hundreds of performances of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown each year. United Media, on behalf of Schulz's widow, oversees a portfolio of sterling deals, including a 20-year-long campaign with Metlife (Schulz coined the term "security blanket"). One out of every five Hallmark cards sold features a Peanuts character. And in October, Warner Home Video won exclusive rights to distribute Peanuts videos.
