SPEECHLESS BY LADY GAGA.... I'm a new fan after MONSTER BALL

"Speechless"

I can't believe what you said to me
Last night when we were alone
You threw your hands up
Baby you gave up, you gave up


I can't believe how you looked at me
With your James Dean glossy eyes
In your tight jeans with your long hair
And your cigarette stained lies


Could we fix you if you broke?
And is your punch line just a joke?


I'll never talk again
Oh boy you've left me speechless
You've left me speechless, so speechless


And I'll never love again,
Oh boy you've left me speechless
You've left me speechless, so speechless


I can't believe how you slurred at me
With your half wired broken jaw
You popped my heart seams
On my bubble dreams, bubble dreams


I can't believe how you looked at me
With your Johnnie Walker eyes
He's gonna get you and after he's through
There's gonna be no love left to rye


And I know that it's complicated
But I'm a loser in love
So baby raise a glass to mend
All the broken hearts
Of all my wrecked up friends


I'll never talk again
Oh boy you've left me speechless
You've left me speechless so speechless


I'll never love again,
Oh friend you've left me speechless
You've left me speechless, so speechless


How?
Haaaa-oooo-wow?
H-ooow?
Wow


Haaaa-oooo-wow?
H-ooow?
Wow


And after all the drinks and bars that we've been to
Would you give it all up?
Could I give it all up for you?


And after all the boys and girls that we've been through
Would you give it all up?
Could you give it all up?


If I promise boy to you
That I'll never talk again
And I'll never love again
I'll never write a song
Won't even sing along


I'll never love again
So speechless
You left me speechless, so speechless
Why you so speechless, so speechless?


Will you ever talk again?
Oh boy, why you so speechless?
You've left me speechless so speechless


Some men may follow me
But you choose "death and company"
Why you so speechless? Oh oh oh

LOOKS LIKE RAIN--g.dead--and Sam's Sushi...I HEART Seattle!!

Sam's----mmmm.......

Interesting website: LUMOSITY

Before they passed on, my folks got me a little machine that had I think 100 or so New York Times crosswords on it... I never got a new card for it, because when I started on the hundred the second time, I realized I'd pretty much forgotten it, and now i'm sure they have a new format and I don't know if they still have to old cards...anyway, I found it worked like a cup of coffee in the morning, or with coffee to wake up my brain.
I just came across this website for perking up your brain in different ways.
It seems they have alot of good backers. After three days of mind improvement games, you can join, if it looks good to you.

Local Yakima resident with the Jagger on SUPERHEAVY

THE SONG 'BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE' ON SUPERHEAVY, A GROUP WITH MICK JAGGER, FEATURES KEYBOARDIST BART RODERICK FROM YAKIMA, WA.

HE'S THE BROTHER OF AN OLD FRIEND OF MINE WHO I DROPPED IN ON THE OTHER DAY. WHEN THE CONVERSATION GOT AROUND TO BART, DAVID SAID, "DID YOU HEAR BART'S IN THE ROLLING STONES NOW?" I think bart teaches school in a neighboring town to yakima. I THOUGHT I'D THEN HEAR A STORY ABOUT A BUNCH OF OLD FARTS WHO 'CALL THEMSELVES' THE STONES. I WAS WRONG.

THE wAY DAVID TELLS THE TALE,

PAUL ALLEN (SEATTLE EXPERIENCE MUSIC PROJECT) HEARD ABOUT BART'S TALENT ON THE KEYBOARDS [HE IS VERY ACCOMPLISHED], AND I THINK MET HIM IN SEATTLE AND JAMMED SOME WITH HIM, IF I REMEMBER DAVE'S VERSION RIGHT. THEN, LATER, PAUL CALLED BART AND ASKED HIM TO JOIN HIM ON HIS YACHT, WHICH HE WAS THEN MOORING OFF THE COAST OF ITALY. APPARENTLY BART (KEYBOARDS), PAUL ALLEN (GUITAR), AND A THIRD FELLOW (BASS, I BELIEVE)..(I APOLOGIZE IF I GOT ANY FACTS WRONG BUT THIS IS THE WAY I HEARD IT)... WERE THE ENTERTAINMENT FOR PAUL'S GUESTS.
I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE TYPES OF PEOPLE ENJOYING THE PARTY, WINE GLASSES IN HAND. A LATE ARRIVAL WAS INTRODUCED TO BART, AND I GUESS THEY HIT IT OFF. THIS LATE ARRIVAL SHARED WITH BART HIS FRUSTRATION WITH A TUNE HE'D BEEN WORKING ON--FINDING A BRIDGE BETWEEN TWO PARTS, I BELIEVE... OH! DID I TELL YOU IT WAS MICk JAGGER?..SORRY, IT WAS.... WHEREUPON BART (AS DAVE TELLS IT) SAID, "WHAT ABOUT THIS?..." AND RAN HIS FINGERS OVER THE IVORIES.
IN SHORT, MICK WAS IMPRESSED. HE BROUGHT BART TO ABBEY ROAD , as dave told me [he might've been wrong about that detail], but on record the album was recorded at jim henson recording studios TO RECORD, WHAT I BELIEVE IS THIS SONG : BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE.

Always On Your Side (Sheryl Crow)

"Always On Your Side"

My yesterdays are all boxed up and neatly put away
But every now and then you come to mind
Cause you were always waiting to be picked to play the game
But when your name was called, you found a place to hide
When you knew that I was always on your side

Well everything was easy then, so sweet and innocent
My demons and my angels reappear
Leavin' only traces of the man you thought I'd be
Too afraid to hear the words I always feared
Leavin' you with only questions all these years

But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear
Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear
Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternally
This isn't how it's really meant to be
No it isn't how it's really meant to be

Well they say that love is in the air, never is it clear,
How to pull it close and make it stay
Butterflies are free to fly, and so they fly away
And I'm left to carry on and wonder why
Even through it all, I'm always on your side

But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear
Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear
Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternally
This isn't how it's really meant to be
No it isn't how it's really meant to be

Well they say that love is in the air, never is it clear
How to pull it close and make it stay
Butterflies are free to fly, why do they fly away
Leavin' me to carry on and wonder why
Was it you that kept me wondering through this life

When you know that I was always on your side

Ron Bonlender; I'll miss him, his politics and his sub sandwiches

Ron Bonlender

YAKIMA, Wash. — Ron Bonlender, pugnacious Democratic activist, former Yakima City Council member and downtown businessman, died Friday afternoon of an apparent heart attack. He was 68.

Bonlender was found at his home on North Seventh Street at about 3:30 p.m.

Friends said that Bonlender, who was not publicly known to have serious health problems, had worked at his downtown Sub Shop on Friday morning, but came home early because he did not feel well.

Former City Councilwoman Susan Whitman, speaking for the family, said relatives were not expected to immediately issue a statement. Funeral arrangements will likely be announced next week, Whitman said.

The sudden news shocked those in Democratic circles because Bonlender was practically synonymous with local Democratic politics. On Thursday night, he attended candidate forums and was himself running for a county freeholder position.

"Politics was everything to him. He was always taking on a new project," said Yakima County Auditor Corky Mattingly, who served on the county Democratic central committee when Bonlender was elected chairman of the party's 14th Legislative District almost a decade ago.

Mattingly, who noted that the two did not always see eye-to-eye, said Bonlender's election losses and political fights did not diminish his energy for civic engagement and public and community service. He recently hosted City Council candidates on his cable television show and once suggested local Democrats should have their own radio program.

"Nothing slowed Ron down," Mattingly said.

Heart: LOST AND FOUND

State DOT returns lost teddy bear to 6-year-old girl

Once thought lost, "Daddy Bear" was found on I-90 and returned to its owner by DOT workers.

YAKIMA, Wash. — For two days, 6-year-old Justice Wadsworth thought "Daddy Bear" was gone for good.

The white teddy bear was a gift from her father, Army Sgt. Claudio Wadsworth, who sent it to her just before he was deployed to Iraq when she was 2.

But on Tuesday, the bear was lost on Interstate 90 when her grandmother pulled over after Justice became car sick returning from Idaho. While the girl's father is now stationed in South Korea, the bear remains hugely important to her.

When they returned home, Justice's grandmother posted a cry for help on the state Department of Transportation's Facebook page.

Worried that people would begin searching the busy freeway, two DOT workers Terry Kukes and Harry Nelson, both of Cle Elum, looked themselves and found it in about an hour Wednesday.

"The bear must've fallen out right when they pulled over," Kukes said.

On their own time, both men made the roughly three-hour drive to the girl's Sedro-Woolley home.

"When we offered the bear to her, she took it and held it really tight and hugged it," said Kukes, a DOT maintenance superintendent. "She missed that little bear."

"It kind of tugs on your heart a little bit when you find out the significance of this bear to this little girl," he said.
