JUNE 6, 2007 A POEM THAT WILL MAKE YOU HAVE THE WARM FUZZIES..
Lincolnâs letter to his sonâs teacher
that all men are not just,
all men are not true.
But teach him also that
for every scoundrel there is a hero;
that for every selfish Politician,
there is a dedicated leaderâ¦
Teach him for every enemy there is a friend,
if you can,
teach him the secret of
quiet laughter.
the bullies are the easiest to lickâ¦
Teach him, if you can,
the wonder of booksâ¦
But also give him quiet time
to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky,
bees in the sun,
and the flowers on a green hillside.
it is far honourable to fail
than to cheatâ¦
Teach him to have faith
in his own ideas,
even if everyone tells him
they are wrongâ¦
Teach him to be gentle
with gentle people,
and tough with the tough.
the strength not to follow the crowd
when everyone is getting on the band wagonâ¦
Teach him to listen to all menâ¦
but teach him also to filter
all he hears on a screen of truth,
and take only the good
that comes through.
how to laugh when he is sadâ¦
Teach him there is no shame in tears,
Teach him to scoff at cynics
and to beware of too much sweetnessâ¦
Teach him to sell his brawn
and brain to the highest bidders
but never to put a price-tag
on his heart and soul.
to a howling mob
and to stand and fight
if he thinks heâs right.
Treat him gently,
but do not cuddle him,
because only the test
of fire makes fine steel.
to be impatientâ¦
let him have the patience to be brave.
Teach him always
to have sublime faith in himself,
because then he will have
sublime faith in mankind.
but see what you can doâ¦
He is such a fine little fellow,
my son!

JUNE 1, 2007 THE AMAZING 6 MILLION DOLLAR CAR COMMERCIAL..
THE MACHINE OF THE FUTURE..GOT A GOOD ONE FOR YOU GUYS THIS TIME.. NO MORE REDNECK JOKES.. ONLY HIGH TECH STUFF FOR ALL MY CYBER FRIENDS.. HEHEHEMY AUNT SENT THIS IN AN EMAIL . IT IS AMAZING .. IT REALLY IS..
Be sure to read this info first, then watch the clip.
And you thought those people that set up roomfuls of dominos to knock
over were amazing. There are no computer graphics or digital tricks
in the film. Everything you see really happened in real time exactly
as you see it.
The film took 606 takes. On the first 605 takes, something, usually
very minor, didn't work. They would then have to set the whole thing
up again. The crew spent weeks shooting night and day. By the time
it was over, they were ready to change professions.
The film cost six million dollars and took three months to complete
including full engineering of the sequence. In addition, it's two
minutes long so every time Honda airs the film on British television,
they're shelling out enough dough to keep any one of us in clover for a
lifetime.
However, it is fast becoming the most downloaded advertisement in
Internet history. Honda executives figure the ad will soon pay for
itself simply in "free viewings" (Honda isn't paying a dime to have you
watch this commercial!).
When the ad was pitched to senior executives, they signed off on it
immediately without any hesitation - including the costs.
There are six and only six hand-made Honda Accords in the world.
To the horror of Honda engineers, the filmmakers disassembled two
of them to make the film. Everything you see in the film (aside from
the walls, floor, ramp, and complete Honda Accord) is parts from
those two cars. The voiceover is Garrison Keillor.
When the ad was shown to Honda executives, they liked it and commented
on how amazing computer graphics have gotten. They fell off their chairs
when they found out it was for real. Oh, and about those funky windshield
wipers. On the new Accords, the windshield wipers have water sensors
and are designed to start doing their thing automatically as soon
as they become wet.
