dance- a form of art not sport.

Budding Dancers Compete, Seriously from nytimes.

"But as dance competitions have become big business, questions about the appropriateness of having young children compete, especially in midriff-baring outfits, and about the virtues of forcing an art into a competitive framework in the first place have also grown."
...
""I played sports all my life, and I've never seen anyone work as hard as they do," said Dennis Spitzer, a physical therapist from Fresno, Calif., who had come with his wife to watch their 10-year-old daughter, Lindsay, compete at the Waldorf with the Dance Studio of Fresno. "They are going out there to win. If they don't win, they feel as badly as we do when we lose. It's not dance. It's a sport."
Those words are anathema to many in the dance world. "Dance is not a sport, it's an art," said Elsa Posey, a past president of the National Dance Education Organization, who has run a studio in Northport, N.Y., since 1953. "In art, the competition is within oneself." "
...
"Such agonies of defeat - the exception, not the rule - come with the territory of competition, and they raise the issue of judging, which, in dance, is an inherently subjective process."

Be everything you are not!!!

Sometimes you can be happy for someone, even if they don't care.
Soemtimes you can be sad, because they don't care.
Sometimes you want not to care and move away.
Sometimes when you move away, you wish you had tried once more.
Sometimes when you think of all the times that you tried, you wonder why it didn't work.
Sometimes when it doesn't, it hurts and you try to reason why.
Sometimes when you try to reason why, you do not have all the answers.
Sometimes when you do not have answers, you want to ask questions.
Sometimes when you ask questions, you do not get the answers.

And then you realise...

...that you can decide to be happy,
but you cannot decide not to be sad.

...that you can't not care,
but not have the strength to try.

...that no matter how far away you go,
it will hurt no less.

...that no matter how you reason it,
you will not have the answers.

So let the tears flow, give up, stay put, and don't think...
that is, be everything you are not!!!!

bill gates picks his own hell

Bill Gates picks his own punishment

Satan greets him: "Welcome Mr. Gates, we've been waiting for you. This will be your home for all eternity. You've been selfish, greedy and a big liar all your life. Now, since you've got me in a good mood, I'll be generous and give you a choice of three places in which you'll be locked up forever.

Satan takes Bill to a huge lake of fire in which millions of poor souls are tormented and tortured. He then takes him to a massive coliseum where thousands of people are chased about and devoured by starving lions. Finally, he takes Bill to a tiny room in which there is a bottle of the finest wine sitting on a table. To Bill's delight, he sees a PC in the corner. Without hesitation, Bill says "I'll take this option."

"Fine," says Satan, allowing Bill to enter the room. Satan locks the room after Bill.
As he turns around, he bumps into Lucifer. "That was Bill Gates!" cried Lucifer. "Why did you give him the best place of all!"

"That's what everyone thinks" snickered Satan.

"The bottle has a hole in it!"

"What about the PC?"

"It's got Windows 95!" laughed Satan.

"And it's missing three keys,"

"Which three?"

"Control, Alt and Delete."
