Brian/Song
Sugar Lips
I’ve been watching you across the room
Hypnotized by all the eyes on you
Here’s a little something to keep in mind
Tell your little secrets and I’ll tell you mine.
[pre-chorus]
Laughing through the day thinking you were never boring
Speeding through the night and my heart is soaring
I’m floating in the air light as a feather
I’m dizzy from the time we spent together
[chorus]
I’m thinking ‘bout your sugar lips
Got a feeling for you now that's so strong
I'm dreaming of the candy in your finger tips
Girl don't stay away from me for too long
I’m thinking ‘bout the sweetness in your shakin’ hips
Infatuated with you for so long
I’m dreaming of the caramel in finger tips
Our loves is so strong
I close my eyes and I see you clear
It feels like you're lying here
All the things I want to say come and go
Easy as the breeze, those words just flow
[pre-chorus]
Laughing through the day thinking you were never boring
Speeding through the night and my heart is soaring
I’m floating in the air light as a feather
I’m dizzy from the time we spent together
[chorus]
I’m thinking ‘bout your sugar lips
Got a feeling for you now that's so strong
I'm dreaming of the candy in your finger tips
Baby don't stay away from me for too long
I’m thinking ‘bout the sweetness in your shakin’ hips
Infatuated with you for so long
I’m dreaming of the caramel in finger tips
Our love is so strong
[repeat 2x]
Eddy - Song
You have no idea what we want
You'll never know the things we do
You'll never know
An endless mile in ragged shoes
We dare you tread our path
A few feet later you're breaking down
You'll never know our wrath
Irritants galore in this life you've left behind
We know what you're missing
We don't know why you fight
Your wars we wage
In your deserts we thirst
Blood abound in endless seas
We serve your food
We wash your dishes
And you'll never know our kind of peace
Our pain
Our love
Our life
Our struggle
Jason - Song
ballad of gaston.
Its impossible, to climb this this castle wall
Every time I try, I fall straight down
I know better, but I keep trying
And the rain comes in one more time.
Enough for me, I can stop now
Hold it back, wait for day
keep it in, break it down
And the rain drops down one more time.
I never expected, to give it up
I never saw it coming down
the pawn takes down the wall
And the rain pours down one more time.
Now I'm back, with nothing to say
The wall once knew, i don't care about
once again, it is balanced
And the rain comes in one more time.
Dan -- Song
I sit here today,
waiting for the words.
but they won't come!
So Here...We...Go!
This is the song about nothing
the greatest song ever.
It has no point,
no purpose.
But that doesn't stop me!
I could write about love.
I could write about death.
But I'd rather write about...
Nothing!
My life is busy,
I'm constantly tired,
but I don't care!
Because I'm singing about...
Nothing!
-Scat session-
This is the song about nothing
the greatest song ever.
It has no point,
no purpose.
But that doesn't stop me!
(talking) uhhh...Dan, urgent message from Fehrenbacher.
"whispers"
(song) So I guess this song has to be about something,
so I'll write about nothing...
This is the song formerly about nothing.
Its about something new!
This is the song that failed at being about nothing.
Oh well, I guess that makes me like Blink 182!
madeleine - song
On Monday nights
the best place to be is the library! (ohh liberry!)
such adventures await
so much as you can take
before going to sleep.
but when I saw you I knew
that you weren't kidding when you said
"Why doesn't anything make sense?"
and after you turned it right back up
I should have stepped right out
and left you alone for good.
But your gorgeous eyes and
that awesome faux hawk
meant trouble for me and you.
-chorus-
It's not that hard to read
when it's a magazine
but who really cares about them
when your favorite one
says that bigfoot had a son
and now they live in Kentucky.
I wouldn't be so shallow
if you just thought deeper!
then maybe we can both be free.
-chorus-
I wish I could have told him
the effect he had on me
but I guess his condition was worse than mine
It made him sleep a lot
rock out and sing some songs
with words that had no real rhyme.
-chorus-
It's not that hard to read
all your random magazines
when the headlines blare loud
"Bird man had a daughter
that had wings and named faris rotter"
when we all know he had a son.
Jameela's Song
Baby....
I just thought you should know..
ahhh.
So here I am again
in this love game
Suddenly amused by yo style boo
I think I love you
I love you
and I dont know what to do
Im stuck on you
and now you know I love you
You got me feeling like
misery is impossible
or like love aint the limit
I love you
and I dont know what to do
Im stuck on you
and now you know I love you
La,La,La,La
Looooovvvveee
La,La,La,La
Looooovvvveee
I love you
and I dont know what to do
Im stuck on you
and now you know I love you
Gaston's Song
I was walking along the Bay
Watching the birds laugh and play
Then to my dismay
I was attacked by a Bat Ray
It looked at me with burning eyes
Dragged me deeper into muck
It must have thought my end was nigh
This beast was huge as a buck
It sucked off my shoe
I liked that shoe so I went kung fu
I kicked and I punched the damn ray
Right then it wanted to fly away
It opened its jaws
And I pulled my shoe from its maw
I was not done
With this animal of the ocean
I stomped and I ripped
The thing made a shriek
As it came close to the crypt
The thing then fell weak
It dragged me so far out
That I had to be helped

How to Change a Headlight
How to Change a Headlight
by Colton Lewis
---BEFORE YOU START ANYTHING, MAKE SURE YOUR CAR IS OFF AND THE KEY IS OUT OF THE IGNITION TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY---
Tools Required – Socket Wrench, Screw Driver, Cloth/working gloves. New Light Bulbs
Average Time – 30 minutes – 1 ½ hours.
Step 1 – Open your drivers side door and pull the lever to pop the hood of your car.
Step 2 - Open your hood and prop it up using your stick under the hood of the car and then locate the light you wish to replace.
Step 3 – When you have found the light, locate the four bolts holding it in place, usually they would be on two on the top that are visible and two that might be underneath the grill* of the front. Usually all four are visible without taking the grill off.
Step 4 – Get your socket wrench and attach the correct size socket to it and begin to unscrew the bolts holding your headlights in, yes all four bolts are the same size. Unscrew them to the left and repeat for each bolt until the headlight is completely loose and all four bolts are out.
Step 5 – Once this is done put your socket wrench down next to your four bolts and begin to LIGHTLY jiggle your headlight out of place. Usually this involves pulling it up and jiggling it in order to make it come out of the mold its sitting in. When you do this you should be able to see the wiring in the back of the headlight. Be aware, still support your headlight and DO NOT LET IT HANG BY THE WIRES, THIS WILL CAUSE DAMAGE.
Step 6 - Now, in the back of the headlight is either one, two or three butt ends of the light bulbs in which the wiring is attached to. To release the wires, push down on the clips that are on each side and begin to jiggle and pull the plugs out in order to detach them from the headlight. Do this for every single light bulb in the back that a wire is attached to.
Step 7 - Now your headlight should be completely loose and you should be able to pick it up and carry it around, it is completely detached at this point. Now for the lights, in order to remove the lights, spin them counter clockwise (or clockwise for certain car models) by the butt of the light bulb and this should release the bulb. Dispose of them because they are useless, or keep them if you have another purpose.
Step 8 – Now, to add the new light bulb, DO NOT TOUCH THE LIGHTBULB WITH YOUR FINGERS, USE A CLOTH OR GLOVES TO PUT THE LIGHT BULB IN, TOUCHING IT WILL KILL THE LIFE OF THE LIGHT. Put the light bulb into the hole and spin it clockwise to tighten it and fasten it into the socket.
Step 9 – Now put the headlight back near the wiring and make sure it is on the right way, attach the wiring into the back of the light bulb by pushing on the clips on the side and then pushing the wiring into the light bulb fixture. Do this for one, two, or three of the bulbs.
Step 10 – Now place the headlight back into the casing and jiggle it around a little bit in order for it to slide into place.
Step 11 – RECOMMENDATION FOR THIS – SCREW EACH
Now get your socket wrench and bolts and begin to screw the bolts back into the headlight screw holes and so they are fastened to the front of the car. Do this for all four of the bolts and until they are completely tightened down.
Step 12 – Your headlight should be in place and should now work. Close the engine bay and check to see if it is sitting right. Turn your car on and check your lights, they should work perfectly.
Eddy - Poems
They will unfold our blinded eyes
And tell us
That science, the classrooms, the ruling assumption
Have made us shrink away from the central truths
Our questions about the developing universe
To live a subtle life is not so easy anymore
Nor will it ever be again
Until the churches, the mosques, and the temples
Have all fallen to ruin
Huddled for warmth with nature itself as a blanket
The human race began simply
It pondered mysteries of the universe
And celebrated its answers
Every year, every month, every day
For three hundred thousand years
They passed on these central truths through spoken stories
Have pity upon the primitive
For we will never again know their ignorance
Their bliss
Sedate our sadness for bygone days
Give us the drug of daily satisfaction
Tear from us our natural being
Break the primordial tradition
Extract the cosmos
And put it in a pill
To be taken twice in the morning and twice at night
So that the water, the sky, the rain
Will flow in our minds
Forever in our memories
And never again in our hearts
Alter our genetic makeup
And remove that which we once embodied
We have no further use for it
Eddy - How to Install SUSE Linux
Acronis Partitioning Software
SUSE 10.2 disk
Internet Connection
Computer with at least a 20gb hard drive and an internet connection
SUSE 10.2 can be downloaded
Once downloaded, burn it to a DVD using any burning software. Nero Burning Software is suggested.
- Plug in and set up hardware for computer (keyboard, mouse, etc)
- Turn on computer
- During the first screen of the bios, press the delete (DEL) key
- You will now be in the BIOS control. Cursor down to Advance Periferals and press enter/return. Set the boot priority floppy, CD-Rom, and hard disk, in that order. Press escape and save and exit.
- As the system restarts, put the Acronis disk into the disk drive
- The computer will boot to the disk and show you the Acronis partitioning controller. Find your hard drive in the window, right click it and format it to the ext3 format. Your hard drive will now be ready to have linux installed on it.
- Save your changes and tell Acronis to restart the computor.
- Replace the Acronis disk with the SUSE 10.2 disk
- The system will boot the the SUSE Linux start screen. Press F3 and select the optimum resolution for your monitor (check the manual or box if you do not know it off-hand).
- Cursor to the Install option and press enter/return
- This is where the actual installation begins. From here, the installation is very self-explanitory. The installer will ask you for various information relating to your geographic location, hardware, and preferences. Pay close attention to each one. If you do not know the answer for one, leave it on the default. When you are prompted for a partitioning setup for the operating system, tell it to do the suggested partitioning setup. If you are an advanced user and would like to have a more specific or customized partitioning, you may modify it.
- Once the installation setup is done, the installation of the operating system will begin. This can take up to 2 hours.
- When the installation is complete, the installer will prompt you to restart the system. Allow it to do so.
- When the system is booting back up, remove the disk. The system should boot to SUSE Linux.

Materials: A longboard, a ocean, waves, and patience
Steps:
1. Paddle out into the waves and charge!
2. Sit and wait for a wave more on the inside, or near the beach, don’t paddle out too far
3. Whether or not the wave has broken yet, turn around and paddle hard
4. Paddling is when you lat flat on your stomach on the surfboard with your arms at your sides in the water. To paddle, reach forward as far as you can and pull the water back, like a breast stroke.
5. Make sure you are on the board in the right spot and you’re too far back or too far forward
6. Paddle and catch that wave!
7. Once you feel yourself catching the wave and accelerating forward, grab the rails of the board near your chest (the side of the board)
8. Push your upper body up like a push up, while simultaneously jumping or sliding your feet forward underneath you.
9. Once you’re either on your knees or on your feet, stand up and enjoy the ride.
Dario - Borscht
Borscht, as you can see, is a soup made mostly from beets, but also includes beef-flavored bouillon and garlic. It was eaten mostly in Russia and other parts of Eastern Europe mainly by poor people, hence the simplicity. Borscht had been around for a long time in the Slavic region, but played a big part in the Russian Revolution. During the revolution when such a large majority of the citizens were poor, borscht was a main staple of their daily diet because beets were so cheap. Though borscht was cheap and easy to make, it had negatives to it as well. Not enough iron, protein, or vitamins were included in this soup, which could have lead to many deficiencies or illnesses in the person. These lacking diets could lead to diseases such as malnutrition or anemia. Anemia usually comes from iron deficiency and is a disease where not enough iron gets into one’s blood, meaning that blood cannot get sufficient oxygen, not allowing it to function properly. Usually red meat can be consumed to solve this, if available. If not, different flours and breads are strong alternatives as well.
Ingredients:
6 cups of beef boullion
6 beets
3 cloves garlic
juice of 1 lemon
sour cream (whatever amount you like)
Process:
1. Get a large bowl.
2. Peel and chop beets. Put them in the bowl.
3. Smash garlic and put it in the bowl.
4. Mix boullion with lemon juice. Put this mix in the bowl of beets and garlic.
5. Boil in a pot until beets are soft. This will usually take about 40 minutes.
6. Serve hot or cold, with a garnish of sour cream.
Brian - How To
Introduction:
You may be asking yourself “what in the world is a jetsetter or socialite?”
First of all, a jetsetter is a person who spends their life going from city to city worldwide to satisfy their every need and live a very luxurious life.
Second of all, a socialite is a different version of a jetsetter but spends most of their life entertaining people and attending social events.
Examples of Jetsetters and Socialites:
1. Fabian Basabe
2. Paris Hilton
3. Brittny Gastineau
4. Carrie Bradshaw from “Sex & The City”
5. Tara Reid
6. Alex Quinn
Steps:
1. Have the best clothes. (Be a trendsetter).
2. You’ve got to love attention. (How else would you entertain others?)
3. Always be happy and energetic.
4. Only eat either fast food or fabulous food. (Greasy chips or perfect crab cakes, cheesy junk or expensive cheese, cotton candy or caviar.)
5. Never wake up before ten and never go to bed before three. (Normal hours are for normal people. Being normal is boring. I'm yawning.)
6. Dance like no one is watching.
7. Be confidante with everything you do or say.
8. Socialize every time you can.
9. Be mean to people. (The truth always hurts)
10. Walk into a room like you own it.

Conrad - "How to throw a curveball"
2. Now, grip the ball with index and middle finger along the seams anywhere on the ball. Make sure that both fingers are above it so you cant get a good downard motion.
3. Now start your windup by taking your left foot back and then bringing it up to your chest.
4. Now kick your leg out towards home plate.
5. Right before you hit the ground with your front foot, your arm should be at 2 o' clock relative to the rest of your body.
6. At the same time, whip the ball in the downward motion in order to develop a low pressure system under the ball. This will causes the ball drop depending how you let go.
7. Follow through with your back leg along with your front squaring off toward home ready for a comebacker.
Note: Try experimenting with different grips and arm actions to develop the best curveball for you.
Dan -- How To

Butter Knife
Spoon
Process:
1.) Lay a sheet of paper towel on the table (This is your workspace)
2.) Place both slices of bread, face up and beside each other on the paper towel. (You may toast bread first, if you wish -- it tastes better toasted)
3.) Spread Peanut Butter with knife onto both slices of bread. Be sure to cover completely with a healthy layer.
4.) Take the spoon and break loose the brown sugar so the sugar is not in clumps.
5.) Take a spoonful and pour in a pile on one side of the bread.
6.) Spread the brown sugar with the backside of the spoon, covering the whole slice of bread with a concentrated thin layer of sugar. If you must, use a second spoonful.
7.) Place un-sugared bread slice on top and enjoy your sandwich.

Trenten R. - How To Make...
1.
Start with gathering around 200 Rubber bands, this will give you about a 3 inch ball that is perfect weight and has extraordinary bounce.
2.
Then grab 3-5 Rubber bands and twist repeatedly, once twisted roll the knot into a ball. This knot will soon become the core of the ball.
3.
Once the core is firm and stable, start wrapping 1 Rubber band around it repeatedly.
4.
Continue the process until all of the Rubber bands are used
5.
Have some fun.
Estefanie - How to be organized
Step one: Choose something that needs to be organized. This “something” can be a room, a backpack, an office drawer… anything.
Step two: Gather all items which need to be organized into a pile and separate them into categories. For example: Desk items – paper clips, stapler, pencils pens…
Knick-knacks – picture frames, figurines, paper weights etc… Papers/Documents
Step three: Sort each category one at a time and decide which items are still needed and must be handy at all times, which items are still needed but don’t need to be kept handy, and trash.
Limit the number of desk items and knick-knacks which are out in the open. Store the rest or throw them away.
Step four: Take all papers/documents and organize into categories. Keep separate categories by using folders or dividers. Label folders/dividers and store in a drawer/file cabinet/box.
“I ALWAYS FORGET WHAT I NEED TO DO”
Step one: Buy a planner. If you’re the type of person that has a lot of appointments, get a daily planner that is separated into times. If you’re the type of person that has general appointments and general to-do’s get a weekly/monthly planner.
Step two: In the monthly overview, PENCIL in all important dates that you need to remember, or meetings and appointments you are unsure you are able to attend. When events become a “for sure thing” erase it and write the event in pen. Copy the events into weekly overviews.
Step three: Write assignments/things to remember in their respective day slot when you are informed of them.
Step four: Check of your to-do’s which are written in the day slots as you complete them. This will help you remember what you have and haven’t done.
Chris Nho - How to 6-Step Clockwise
No one gets a move the first try. Having a fluid 6-step is going to take practice, eventually the movements will feel familiar. The 6-step is broken down into six different moves.
Start off in a push up position, except spread your legs apart by about a yard (you will later find that the more distanced they are, the more dynamic the move looks).
You will need to place the right side of your right foot about two feet to the left of your left hand. This will cause your left leg to bend, which is perfectly fine. Release your left hand and your body should now be in a slightly sideways position.
Now stick the lower part your left shin (somewhere close to your foot and shin) into the crevice of your right leg (which I will refer to as the legpit). Your left arm should still be up, but slightly less tilted than the last step.
“Unwind” your right leg and bring it so it is parallel to your other leg, which should still be bent. Your left hand should already be down and you will find yourself in a crab position.
Move your left leg clockwise so that your legpit is now making contact with your right shin, but make sure it is low enough so that your foot is still touching the ground. By the end of this step, you should be in the exact same position as the end of step 2, except it is occurring on the other side.
Just how your once moved your shin into your legpit, move your right foot back as much as you can but make sure both legs create a 60 degree angle. While your foot is moving, your right arm should come up and be in the air.
The last move of the 6-step is to move your left foot back, so that you are once again in the start position (pushup). As your leg is making this movement, put your right hand down to keep balance.
Once you have the basic steps, keep these few things in mind:
- Try to never have your whole foot on the ground, instead try to make sure only parts of your foot are making contact. This will give it a quicker look.
- There are several variations that can occur in the 6-step, be creative and explore new moves. If you are really interested, look up how to do CC’s, swipes, and other #-steps.
