I Carry Your Heart With Me
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling) i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Hot In Herre by Jenny Owens Young
originally by Nelly (watch)
(submitted by sadwich)This seems like an unlikely and odd cover, but I think it was pulled off pretty well. Much like Dynamite Hack’s Boyz In the Hood. I wonder how many people out there don’t realize Young is covering a hip-hop club jam here…
I also wonder Young’s motivation for covering this and what the genesis was of the video concept. The icy caves and silly costumes seem to be a conscious attempt to further distance itself from Nelly.
—indieandyythis whole video is incredibly entertaining, but my personal favorites are turning “don’t break the ice” into a drinking game, as well as the penguin dance sequence.
Oh no! Her show on TLC was so sad!
Maine girl born with ‘mermaid syndrome’ dies at 10
(AP) – 1 day ago
KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine — Shiloh Pepin, a girl born with a rare condition often called “mermaid syndrome,” has died. She was 10.
Maine Medical Center spokesman John Lamb said Shiloh died at the hospital Friday afternoon. She had been hospitalized in critical condition since last week.
Shiloh was born with sirenomelia, meaning her legs were fused from the waist down. She had no lower colon or genital organs and only one partially working kidney. Doctors told her parents that she would likely survive for only hours, maybe days.
Some children who have survived sirenomelia have had surgery to separate their legs, but Shiloh’s circulatory system made that challenging because crisscrossing blood vessels would have been severed.
Her story has been featured on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” and other national TV programs.
how cool were squeeze-its? why don’t they make them anymore? drinking juice through an angry faced bottle makes it way more delicious. click through for a website of lots more “i remember that!” stuff.
