Iris

Greatest Song Ever: Iris

And I'd give up forever to touch you,
Cause I know that you feel the same somehow.
You're the closest heaven that I'll ever be,
And I don't want to go home right now.

And all I can taste is this moment,
And all I can breathe is your life,
And sooner or later it's over,
I just don't want to miss you tonight.

And I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming,
Or the moment of the truth in your lies.
When everything feels like the movies,
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive.

And I don't want the world to see me,
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.

And I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.

And I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.
I just want you to know who I am.
I just want you to know who I am.
I just want you to know who I am.



I have to say this is one of the greatest songs of the 90's era. The Goo Goo Dolls made this song for the film "City of Angels" featuring Meg Ryan and Nicolas Cage as an angel. Iris was the longest number one chartings on Billboard Hot 100 Airplay. The song got it’s name by John Rezenik (guitar/vocalist) when he found Iris DeMent (American Song writer). Not that romantic as the song is of course. Iris spent 31 weeks on Irelands hits and at the 41st Grammy Awards Iris received nominations for “Record of the Year” and “Pop Performance by a Duo or Group.” This song was written from Nicolas Cage’s character view from the movie. If you really listen to the lyrics you can hear some of it means meanings from the movie. For example “And I’d give up forever to touch you” in the movie Nicolas Cage can’t touch her, because he’s an angel and hear it means he’d give up being an angel just to live a short mortal life with her (Meg Ryan). There’s no doubt Iris was one of the greatest songs of the 90’s.

BOO!

Did you know there are different types of ghost? There are such things called anomalies, shadow people, apparitions, and etc.
SHADOW PEOPLE- are also called apparitions. Shadow people and ghost, however, are two different things. I will explain about the ghost later, but I had to point that out. They usually look like a shadow obviously hence the name “shadow people”, but it is distinct that “it” takes the shape of a person. They however don’t look like they wear modern day clothing, but cloak like features. They can have eyes and they are usually red (which is really scary). They way they move are supposedly really fast or jolty. Some people report it as dancing from wall to wall. They say these “things” are created by people with their stress, trauma, and etc. Another belief is they are created by a dimension that sometimes overlaps with our so we can see them. The third belief is that they are connected with UFO’s or gray aliens. A little far fetched huh? They’re not dangerous at all and they can appear in orbs which are little balls of light.
GHOST- is an apparition of a person similar to what they look like. They are usually in a place where they died, places where they have their belongings, or somewhere significant to them. A ghost can make noises; have an odor, apparition, and etc. They usually don’t know they are dead, because they die under traumatic conditions or highly emotional.
POLTERGEIST- is a demonic spirit or ghost that manifests itself by moving objects, making noise, assaulting people and animals, or all of those. They can move objects and ruin them, can interfere with telephone lines and electrical equipment, turning lights on and off, they can hit, kick, punch, and bit someone, and they can go as far as to sexually assaulting someone. Poltergeist activity starts on and off and can last over to several days to several months, even sometimes years. This usually happens when someone is around. This person is called an “agent”. People that usually have stress, schizophrenia, emotional stress, and etc.
HAUNTINGS- is a recording of the past on an environment like war or a house. These are played over and over and are always the same. They say the presence of a person can trigger this, but don’t get this word mistaken for people interacting with ghosts. We don’t know why this happens, but we think it happens because of an emotional or traumatic death.

Waverly Hills Sanatorium

HAUNTED HOSPITAL is the last thing you probably would want to visit. The Waverly Hills Sanatorium was a hospital that opened in 1926 because of the white death other wise known as tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is a virus that travels by air and you get it in your lungs. If you have tuberculosis it basically attacked your lungs and would eat them away. The white death was a huge outbreak in the early 19th century and back in those times if you got it you were going to die. If you got it within 24 hours if you didn't turn yourself into Waverly Hills they would come and get you. There were many deaths in the hospital and patients knew that they were going to die. They didn't have a cure back then for it, so they went to as far as putting sand bags on people’s chest to try to solve it and sometimes even bloodier procedures like: deflating a portion of a lung, remove 2 to 3 ribs at a time so lung could expand, and the pneumthorax method . The hospital had lots of windows that they would set the patients by; they thought the sun and fresh air was good. Waverly Hills Sanatorium was closed in 1982 because of budgets. There is an estimate about 63,000 deaths in total, even though it was the most advanced hospital back then. Just because the hospital is closed doesn't mean there's life that doesn't still linger. There is another life than the human world. Waverly Hills Sanatorium has been on shows like "Ghost Hunters", "Most Haunted", "Scariest Places on Earth", and "Most Terrifying Places in America". The sanatorium has unexplained shadows, footsteps, doors that open, children laughing, screams, and etc. If you go there you can encounter with a little boy named Timmy. Timmy was a boy that was diagnosed with tuberculosis and was admitted in to the children's wing of the hospital. Timmy likes to interact with playing hide and seek and playing with balls such as rolling it back to you. In the same wing there have been reports of a woman with her wrists chained and bleeding as she is crying for help. There have been reports of a hearse outside of the hospital which leads to the story of the tunnel. When people died in the hospital they would throw them down a chute that lead in to a tunnel. This was so the patients at the time wouldn’t get discouraged. The tunnel was before used for the delivery of foods and needs. In the tunnel would encounter such things as “shadow people”, voices, screams, and unexplained footsteps. In the hospital there is a room that has a very sad story. Room 502 was one of the nurses head quarters. In 1928, the head nurse was only 29 years old and developed tuberculosis. Not only that she was pregnant and not married; seeing no other way out she hung herself. Now you can hear her crying. In 1932, in the same room another nurse jumped out of the window plummeting to her death and no one seemed to know why. On the third floor there is a little girl named “Mary” that plays with a leather ball and says disturbing things about “I have no eyes.” In the kitchen you can experience a man with a white coat on and pants. They say he’s an old employee of the Waverly Hills Sanatorium. Mostly about every floor is “haunted.” Fact or fiction, one thing is for sure I never want to know.

Room 502.

The Hydrogen Car

SO IT IS TOLD…. the way the economy is going one of the big American dealers is going to fall. Either that be Chrysler, GM, or Ford. The thing about this alternative car thing is GM created an alternative for gas to hydrogen. The way gas prices have been going it’ll go up again after the holidays and it’s bound to get up to $4 again. These cars can get 300 miles for around $1.62. The dealer ship that came up with this idea is GM and they betted $1,000,000,000 that they would have these out by 2009 and would be sold for $16,000. The way GM’s crisis with money right now is going they might not make it and for the fact other dealer ships got a hold of this idea and there are already hydrogen cars bought over on the west coast. There are 30 in California and there are already hydrogen gas pumps up. The way these cars are designed is there is this skate board figure that will be under you that has the engine under you and the hydrogen gas. On top there will be a big cap you can put on top of the skate board figure and you can change it if you want to. The interior can be designed anyway you want. There will be no steering wheel anymore but a steering wheel that you can pull forward to go and pull back to stop. They say gas is so bad for the world and that’s one of the reasons why we have Global Warming well this alternative with the hydrogen will burn up and turn it in to water (water purer than tap water out of the faucet). The car has passed all the safety inspections and if it were in an accident the car crumbles in a way so the passengers don’t get hurt. The bad things that can come with this car is if people aren’t strong enough to pull the steering wheel back and forth, glass comes over the car all in the front, because there’s not an engine in front anymore and if there were to be an accident the glass would shatter, and like the Hindenburg it was filled with hydrogen and it mysteriously burst in to flames and unfortunately your basically driving a bomb. The way things are going this car sounds really good to have. We’re not going to have the gas cars forever after all.
