Video: Bridge Of Light – Pink

Recently, we took my 15-year old daughter to see Happy Feet 2.  Being the old “softy” that I am, I like spending time with my family in this way, whether I enjoy the animated film or not.  However, most of the time, with very few exceptions, I find myself enjoying the film anyway!  (Yes, I admit it!)

Music being one of my passions, from time to time, truly powerful songs come along that really hit me at the very core of my being.  Some songs by Celine Dion comes to mind (“Power Of Love”).  Whitney Houston’s version of “I Will Always Love You” is also another good one. R Kelly also did a great one for the movie “Hardball” called “The Storm Is Over Now”.  I love songs like this!

To my utter surprise, this movie – a cartoon of all things – had such a song in it called Bridge Of Light.  Yep… me… Rick Upshaw, a 43-year old man, literally had goose bumps while listening to this song because of how powerful it was, especially with the imagery in the movie during the song of a mother reaching out to her husband and child, cut off from them and unable to reach them. (I’m such a sap, huh?  LOL)  I knew as soon as I heard it that I wanted to learn it, and at my first opportunity to perform it…. somewhere….. anywhere.  I’ve been burning up the YouTube views for that song ever since.  I’m listening to it now as I write this!  LOL

Alecia Moore A. K. A. "Pink"

When I got home and looked up the song on the internet, I was shocked yet again to find that it was actually Pink (whose real name is Alecia Moore) who performed the song, and voiced the part of the mother!  Now, being a country boy at heart, there aren’t a lot of her songs that I can really get into, but there are a few of her popular songs that I do like.  However, with her trademark pink hair gelled to the max and the hard songs she performs, my impression of her personna prior to this point was that of a tattooed dope-smokin’ party-girl rivaling Britney Spears from a couple of years ago and perhaps even Lady Gaga.  So to find that she was behind this song – let alone voicing the entire part of the mother – truly floored me.  Even moreso, when I saw an interview with her on YouTube (see the following two videos) discussing her task in writing the song, I have to say that I was really beside myself!

About These Lyrics To Bridge Of Light

I looked at several pages online that had what was supposed to be the lyrics to this song.  Apparently, no one else paid very close attention to the words while listening to the song, because they were ALL wrong!  So I went back through the lyrics, making sure that the lyrics match up exactly with what’s actually in the song.  So, to my knowledge, this is the only 100% correct version of the lyrics to Bridge Of Light.  Enjoy!

Bridge Of Light Lyrics

Verse 1:

Just when you think
Hope is lost,
And giving up
Is all you got,
Blue turns black.
Your confidence is cracked.
There seems no turning back from here.

Sometimes there isn’t an obvious explanation
While the holiest stars can feel the strongest palpitations.

Chorus 1:

That’s when you can build a bridge of light,
That’s what turns the wrongs all right.
That’s when you can’t give up the fight.

That’s when love turns nighttime into day.
That’s when loneliness goes away.
That’s why you gotta be strong tonight.
Only love can build us a bridge of light.

Verse 2:

When your feet are made of stone
And you’re convinced that you’re all alone,
Look at the stars, instead of the dark.
You’ll find your heart shines like the sun.

Let’s not let our anger get us lost.
And the need to be right comes with way too high a cost.

Chorus 2:

That’s when love can build a bridge of light
That’s what turns the wrongs all right
That’s when you know it’s worth the fight

That’s when love turns nighttime into day
That’s when loneliness goes away,
That’s why you gotta be strong tonight
’cause only love can build us a bridge of light.

Bridge:

Deep breath, take it on the chin,
But don’t forget to let the love back in!

Chorus 3:

That’s when love can build a bridge of light.
That’s what turns the wrong so right.
That’s when you can’t give up the fight.

That’s when love turns nighttime into day.
That’s when loneliness goes away.
That’s why you gotta be strong tonight,
’cause only love can build us a bridge of light.

Only love can build us a bridge of light.

Another new media rap from Chuck at Pop Labs. This time he raps about social media tools like Myspace, Twitter and Virb.
lyrics:
I surf the web, I used to watch TV
now I’m logged into Joost, it’s commercial free
lets see where I want to go
and who I want to know
connecting people with people with web 2.0
I don’t use email unless I’m at my job
want the next post, I subscribe to the blog
I’m easy to find
I’m always online
social networking sites, I think I have nine
I use myspace to promote my music
I get friends and album sales that’s how I do it
but tell me have you heard
about the new word
something like myspace but they call it virb
always something new, I’m a start creatin
I’ll make a brand new facebook application
uploading pictures and mp3′s
update my profile and hit ctrl D
can’t stop what I started, it’s getting ridiculous
social book mark it, add it del.icio.us
some can’t take it but I just can’t quit
go to Imeem and listen to my playlist
watching videos on my You Tube channel
clickin so much, my mouse smoking like a candle
I’m online for hours, addicted to the power
10 tabs open on a firefox browser
I must be going crazy cause I can’t get enough
I guess I’m addicted to social media

Have you been wanting to go on a vacation lately, but can’t afford to because of the economic downturn?  Have you been watching every dollar you make much more closely these days as people continue to lose their jobs?

Take heart!!!

As an American subject citizen, while you continue to have your life savings sucked dry by the Obama Administration, you can at least have the honor and privelege of living vicariously through Michelle Obama… one more thing for our tax dollars to pay for!

Here’s a thank you letter from your queen First Lady, Michelle Obama:

Personal “Thank You” Letters From Michelle Obama

On Trip To South Africa:

From: Michelle Obama

Re: Trip To Africa

Dear American Taxpayers:

I just want to update all you kind Americans on my most recent trip to South Africa.  It’s the least I can do!  My mom was with me as well as both of my daughters, Malia & Sasha.  I also took my neice and nephew, Leslie Robinson (who is 15) and Avery Robinson, who is 19.  They were thrilled to travel on Air Force 2!   (Wouldn’t you be?)

We were all so excited about the highlight of our trip, which was a private safari at a South African game reserve!  Can you believe it?

The best part of all of this is that we never would have been able to afford this trip if it were not for all of your kind taxpayers!

Thanks again!   We will never forget you!

GOT THIS AT A THRIFT SHOP

(NAAAAH… JUST KIDDING…)

On Trip To Spain:

Dear American Taxpayers:

For only the second time in my adult life, I am not ashamed of my country. I want to thank the hard working American people for paying $242 thousand dollars for my vacation in Spain . My daughter Sasha, several long-time family friends, my personal staff and various guests had a wonderful time. Honestly, you just haven’t lived until you have stayed in a $2,500.00 per night suite at a 5-Star luxury hotel. Thank you also for the use of Air Force 2 and the 70 Secret Service personnel who tagged along to be sure we were safe and cared for at all times.

Air Force 2 only used 47,500 gallons of jet fuel for this trip and carbon emissions were a mere 1,031 tons of CO2. These are only rough estimates, but they are close. That’s quite a carbon footprint as my good friend Al Gore would say, so we must ask the American citizens to drive smaller, more fuel efficient cars and drive less too, so we can lessen our combined carbon footprint.

I know times are hard and millions of you are struggling to put food on the table and trying to make ends meet.  I do appreciate your sacrifice and do hope you find work soon.  I was really exhausted after Barack took our family on a luxury vacation in Maine a few weeks ago.  I just had to get away for a few days!

Cordially,

Michelle Obama

P.S. Thank you as well for the $2 BILLION trip to India we recently went on.  Love ya!  Mean it!

P.S.S. We’re having a great time in Hawaii …Looking forward to Rio in March!

Anthony Weiner: The Epitome Of Today’s Congress

Anthony Weiner announced today that he has been lying all along (what a shock) in that he did, in fact, send a sexually explicit and obviously inappropriate picture to a woman in Seattle.  He further admitted that this isn’t the first time, admitting that there are actually SIX women with whom he has interacted inappropriately over the internet, and that some of his behavior has even taken place after his marriage to his new bride.  Rick Upshaw comments on this latest chapter in the Weinergate Saga.

Stupidity Abounds

As someone who is somewhat computer literate, but by no means an expert/guru, I have to say that this whole thing boggles my mind – and that’s before we get to the whole issue of the lack of honor this man has!  It’s like this: whether you are actually sending pictures on Twitter or not… if you are an elected official and say that you could have been hacked, but don’t ask the F.B.I. to investigate, how can you possibly think that won’t throw up some red flags somewhere?  Coming from the perspective of someone with absolutely no moral compass whatsoever (which is obviously the case with Weiner), how could you possibly think you could lie and/or bribe your way out of that?  What pack of lies could you possibly tell that would pass muster with anyone with any common sense whatsoever?  I guess it’s like I always say:

“Never underestimate the power of stupidy.”

This philosophy hasn’t failed me yet, and it certainly applies in this case!

Seriously… how stupid can the man be? At least one of these photos was shared on twitter! Unless you know nothing about twitter, you know that other people will probably be able to see it. Would this not occur to you when sending lewd pictures of yourself to another woman who is not your wife?

Unfortunately, none of what I’m saying really matters in the grand scheme of things, does it?  At the end of the day, after all of my ranting and raving about Anthony Weiner‘s obvious lack of honor and anything resembling integrity, Anthony Weiner is a liberal Democrat with a temper, so it’s OK that he has a warped sense of right and wrong, and because of this, the last person to care about any of this would be Anthony Weiner.  I know he says he is taking responsibility for his actions, but unless he actually steps up and resigns, no words that dribble out of his mouth are going to mean anything to me or anyone else with any common sense or moral compass.  Taking responsibility for your bad behavior means that there are going to be consequences.  Integrity demands that you step up, stick your chest out and accept whatever happens.

Anthony Weiner Lying About Photos

Double Standards Abound, Too

What this “Gomer” did may not be illegal in the eyes of the law (even though it certainly ought to be), but at the very least, it is clearly unethical behavior – at least by the standards of anyone outside of the political world.  This man is married (does that even mean anything anymore?), and for some unknown reason, his wife at least appeared to be happy in the marriage. Unfortunately, in today’s society, this is what happens to people when they get too much power. People like Anthony Weiner believe they can do whatever they want and nothing is wrong with it.  If a Republican had been the one to do something this dishonorable (as has been the case just as often as the Democrats) , the Dems would have assembled the lynch mob and screaming accusations about being two-faced before the mics even warmed up at the press conference!. However, since it was a Democrat, then apparently it’s all OK, and we’re supposed to just “understand” and be compassionate about this guy’s “sickness”.  After all, no laws were broken, right?  So there is no reason for him to resign, right?  The double-standard of the liberal-left is just mind-numbing, in my humble opinion.

Anthony Weiner: The Bottom Line

What bothers me is that lying to your spouse and cheating on her has somehow become the accepted norm in our society.  As much as I travel outside of the United States, I’ve almost gotten to the point where I don’t want to tell anyone I’m American anymore, because in international circles, America has become the butt of so many jokes over this very issue!  Good People, what is happening??? Where is the honor I was raised with?  I remember being whipped until black & blue over lies I told when I was a kid growing up, and in my opinion, rightfully so!!! So what are we teaching our kids today?  Why should anyone bother to get married anymore, since the whole act is one giant promise that no one seems to care about keeping!

Ladies & Gentlemen, Friends & Neighbors, the fact that this man betrayed his wife all by itself is enough reason to drive this man out of public life forever!  Why can’t we see that?  We have the right to hold our politicians to a higher standard than everyone else, and anyone not willing to be held to that higher standard shouldn’t get into politics in the first place!  Our politicians are supposed to not just represent us, but they are supposed to represent the best of us. They are supposed to be the cream of the crop in America, not an embarrassment that We The People have to make excuses for in international circles.  Now, with this latest scandal, the epitome of what America truly represents as seen by the international community will most assuredly rest in the image of Anthony Weiner as follows:

The Glory Of Anthony Weiner

One other point (and I made this same point with Clinton and his whole joke of a presidency):  Every time Anthony Weiner put himself in front of a microphone or TV camera, he looked at us (or the interviewers) dead in the eye and denied his involvement with the same conviction that he had when standing before the camera and making any other political point he made in his entire career in Congress.  So how can We The People ever believe anything this guy says ever again?  We can’t, right?  So if that’s the case, how could ANY New York constituent of his possibly justify supporting this man, unless they are being bribed to do so?  Doesn’t that make any remaining supporters Anthony Weiner has left just as dumb – if not dumber – than he is for screwing up this badly?

The New Face Of Honor (Or The Lack Thereof) In America

My Own Humble Conclusion

If honor and integrity mean anything to anyone in Washington, someone needs to convince this pathetic excuse of a man to resign!  Anthony Weiner – not withstanding his last name – has only himself to blame for the inevitable future he has waiting for him filled with being the butt of people’s jokes and innuendo.  The most sacred vow a man can make on this earth is to his wife (although the trust placed in him by the people of New York certainly runs a close second).  I refute any argument anyone would make suggesting that a man can’t control himself.  So if a man is willing to violate the trust placed in him by his wife – let alone by the public – he doesn’t belong in any position of trust ever again.  He ought to spend the rest of his life in his mom’s basement staring at “girlie pictures” on the internet, and even then, only after being dragged through the streets tied to his wife’s bumper, and then being run out of town on a rail!

What Do You Think?

So is this guy an idiot, or is it just me?  How about the whole issue of the lack of ethics and honor – toward his constituents, and arguably more importantly, to his wife?  Has the ethical climate in our society in America truly degraded to the point where a man’s word means nothing anymore, and everyone is OK with it?

Confused about the Obama Budget Plan?  Ray Stevens is here to help!  There is no one on earth who can make sense of the most complicated things in life (such as politics) like Ray Stevens!  So prepare to be educated on the Obama Budget Plan by the master himself, Mr. Ray Stevens!

Ray Stevens On The Obama Budget Plan

Are you confused about the Obama Budget Plan vs. the budget plan that Paul Ryan submitted?  Well, I can assure you that the following video from Ray Stevens will clear things right up for you!

*******************

Rick Upshaw’s Commentary: The Obama Budget Plan

So?  What did you think about the Obama Budget Plan, now that Ray Stevens has broken it down for you?  For those of you who want to try to convince us that it’s more complicated than this, let’s be clear:  No it’s not. We, the average American consumer and/or small business can’t get credit right now to save our lives.   Because of decades of the mistakes, greed and corruption in Congress on both sides of the isle as well as in the White House, now more than ever We The People, sitting at our respective kitchen tables trying to figure out how to survive until the next payday have to live within our means.  We make decision about what we can and can’t have based on our own budgets.  We can’t just write ourselves a loan like our politicians have somehow enabled themselves to do while we just stood by and watched it happen.  Our “representatives” in Congress have become our “rulers”, just like the people from whom we declared independence more than 200 years ago, and the Obama Budget Plan is tailor-made to allow our dependence on our “rulers” to continue.

Ray Stevens‘ analogy in this video truly bring the point home.  Our government should reflect the values we live by, and one of them is to live within our means, even if it’s because we have no other choice!  The policies that are being shoved down the throats of the American people right now (including the Obama Budget Plan) by President Obama and our Congress (from both sides of the isle) truly represent “a clear and present danger to the United States of America.”  We The People absolutely MUST find a way to take back our government again before we are forced to start trading in Chinese Yuan or Euros!

So What Do We Do?

As far as I know, many people have come to the same conclusion I have.  However, no one seems to have a clear idea what we can do about it (which is probably exactly what these people in Congress are counting on, anyway!)  So, Dear Reader, do you have any idea what we can do?  Does anyone have a plan?  Anyone???

May God Save The United States of America!
