Australia’s 2009 talent. You can see/hear 5 performances by Mark Vincent, just keep on watching. Last song he sings is “You raise me up”.
Mark has a beautiful voice BUT… nobody can sing “You raise me up” like Josh Groban! (I wish Josh would concentrate more on opera than ‘pop’ music!!) That’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it….

Three strangers strike up a conversation in the passenger lounge in the Bozeman, Montana airport, while waiting for their respective flights..
One is an American Indian passing through from Lame Deer, another is a Cowboy on his way to Billings for a livestock show and the third passenger is a fundamentalist Arab student, newly arrived at Montana State University from the Middle East ..
Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures. Soon, the two Westerners learn that the Arab is a devout, radical Muslim and the conversation falls into an uneasy lull.
The cowboy leans back in his chair, crosses his boots on a magazine table, and tips his big sweat-stained hat forward over his face. The wind outside is blowing tumbleweeds around, and the old windsock is flapping; but still no plane comes.
Finally, the American Indian clears his throat and softly he speaks, ‘At one time here… my people were many… but sadly, now we are few.’
The Muslim student raises an eyebrow and leans forward, ‘Once my people were few,’ he sneers, ‘and now we are many. Why do you suppose that is?’
The cowboy from the darkness beneath his Stetson says in a smooth drawl . . .
‘I reckon that’s ’cause we ain’t played Cowboys and Muslims yet, But I do believe it’s a-comin’.’
Aha, maybe we have just discovered why the sea turtle is going extinct & it is not global warming!!!!!!!….

It isn’t the things that happen to us in our lives that cause us to suffer, it’s how we relate to the things that happen to us that causes us to suffer.

NOT A JOKE – VERY SERIOUS
Pass this on to everybody you know. Anybody that sees a plastic bottle in their yard would think nothing of picking it up to throw it away.
Looks like these things are starting to pop up around the U.S. Check the Snopes web site below, it’s pretty scary. Important warning! NOT A JOKE! Pay attention to this.
1. A plastic bottle with a cap (Like a normal water bottle).
2. A little Drano.
3. A little water.
4. A small piece of foil.
5. Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM (Less than 30 seconds)!!
6. No fingers left and other serious effects to your face, eyes, etc.
People are finding these bombs in mailboxes and in their yards, just waiting for someone to pick it up intending to put it in the trash. It takes about 30 seconds to blow after you move the thing. See “SNOPES” below….it’s true. Send it to everyone on your mailing list, I did and it won’t hurt to get it several times.
