  • What genre would this belong to? (It's unfinished)?

    If all the tears in tinseltown

    Were melded down

    to a single sparkling diamond drop

    then maybe, my movie wouldn't be a flop

    and darling, baby, your daddy wouldn't be a cop

    I'll be sure to skip around

    Leave you sure promises

    Unseen in the ground

    Center stage stolen kisses...

    Paying up the missus (or misses)

    Conjuring up the hits

    For something not worth its two sh*ts

    (This is all I've come up with so far, only really happy with the first 4 lines)

  • I'D GO WHERE YOU ARE FOREVER (need some suggestions to improve my diction)?

    If it floats your boat

    Darling,

    Go for it!

    On your way please remember to note that

    Wherever you are--

    “Have some sense or none at all,” because

    Each day is a blessed boon

    Roaring toward the bottom line

    Every night wrought an epiphany,

    Your delight a happy mine,

    On the sea of finding me, so

    Unscrupulous of infinity,

    Amazing the lights of serenity,

    Rounding up the divine.

    Effervescent in those escapades brought by

    Fulfilled this dreams’ delight;

    Onslaught of soon gone memories

    Reminiscent with our kingdom’s decline

    Each one and every other for themselves

    Violently placid, on the surface

    Eminent by all who see and those who lie

    Rowing away together...

  • Native Spanish Translator, por favor?

    I'm doing a newscast, and it needs to be in Spanish.

    Welcome to Inside Juarez, where no story is left untold. Thank you for joining us this afternoon. We will begin with the recent political tension, the female homicides, and then weather, with our chief weather girl, Gabriella.

    Next up, an exclusive sneak peak of your favorite soap opera, “La Reina Del Sur”and a song that is taking Mexico by storm.

    It’s never too soon to practice, as we visit Mexico’s National Football team, and wrap up with

    some delicious chocolate chips! We have great things in store for you today!

    A police officer stands guard as supporters of Enrique Pena Nieto, presidential candidate for the opposition Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), walk towards his campaign rally in Ciudad Juarez. Front-runner Nieto vowed to overcome the drug-fueled violence engulfing the country as the campaign for the July 1 election is on its last wing, less than a month away.

    Every day thousands of people, cars, trucks and trains pass through our town's six border crossings to the United States, while 300 international companies have set up so-called maquila factories - assembly plants that supply the US market. But Ciudad Juarez owes its international renown to a terrible, sad fact: a total of 393 women have been murdered in the border city between 1993 and 2007. It is known as "the global capital of feminicides."

    Mayor Hector Murguia Lardizabal does not like to discuss it with foreign visitors, and he would rather ignore the fact that even the European Parliament has taken up the issue. He prefers to stress the positive aspects of "our beloved Juarez" - industry, cross-border traffic, plentiful tax income, international investment, seemingly unlimited growth. The city grows by 60,000 people every year. Forty years ago Ciudad Juarez was a town of 20,000, but 1.6 million people live there today. Across the border in El Paso, Texas, there are only 700,000.

    That being said, as our numbers grow, the police are nowhere close to solving the case. Those who have experienced the loss of a sister or a daughter hope that one day, they killers will stop. Until then, they must be more aware of their surroundings and do all that they can to stay safe.

  • "Much to tell, little to say" Critique please!?

    If it’s too much to ask,

    Then it’s too much to give.

    So I know you’re not getting it.

    So I know you’re not getting it.

    There’s little to row

    A lot of you to grow

    You’ve got so much to show.

    Yet, I don’t know how much more

    I can wait to let you take your stage

    And that’s the truth of it, ought to be aware of it.

    That your density is bringing me down

    The temper on that viscosity is making me frown

    I won’t entertain you, won’t be your clown.

    It’s too much to ask for, for you,

    Then it’s too much to give.

    It may be divine but if I’m willing to forgive

    Then you’d be on your way to forget.

    And that’s the truth of it now, honey, you ought to know!

    No, no no!

    I’m just not ready yet--

    Not ready yet

    That’s for sure.

    There’s so much to tell, little to say.

    And it’s the truth of it now, baby, you know.

    It’s too much to ask,

    So I you’re not getting it, not getting it.

    So I know, I know, you’re not getting it.

  • How can I improve the structure of this?

    Or just anything I can do to improve this. Gracias!

    Strike it off the record please.

    No more deals to be made here, dear.

    if you are wise,

    if anything at all--

    No more silly lies in disguise-- please!

    Every move on the board

    has been played before my eyes

    Toying with my foolish heart

    Wretched games you won so well

    None of that now, boy

    The buck has stopped right there

    For us.

    Before you slinked so near

    the way you did:

    forged a place by my effervescent side

    I’ve made up my mind ( by now)

    That you’ve made yours up

    In the brief eternity of glance,

    You mold your physique, your essence in a system it was not to be

    Change so much, so rapidly, there was too much entropy

    lost your sight;

    dead to me

    dead to me

    And now it’s time to gut ( or cut) the ties that bind

    it’s time

    To strike it.

    Strike it off the record please.

    You have a million faces, and there are a million of mine

    But only one of them is real enough to touch you through the screen

    In the depths of this intrigue

    I’ve always been the one benevolent enough to reach toward the one I’m wanting

    But this time, I’ll be the one waiting

    Stuck in this sieve

    So intriguing …

    I catch you time and time again,

    Think you’re so clandestine?

    The way you glance at me,

    Maybe I’m misinterpreting

    In your intrigue for me

    I don’t want to have to flee.

    Nah nah nahhh ah ah

    Then that’s just the way it’ll have to be

    Till the evaporation of the seas

    And you learn to cease and desist

    I’ll try not to fade into the mist

    Or whisk you into my web of deceit

    No promises, no guarantees

    Except death of course, in my intrigue

    na nan nah nah nahh

    And the future will have no clue.

    The green is where your hands are

    Being red handed only means you need spread the green a bit,

    To build the bridge to nowhere

    You know where?

    And the future will pass through

    Big job, big car, big house, big dreams

    We’ll have them evermore, won’t we?

    While the less we know, the more we learn

    That this bridge to nowhere is built and done

    Beautiful spouse, beautiful babies, beautiful life

    I’m longing, waiting, searching, looking forward to you?

    We’re all right with it...

    (Yes, yes we are)

    We’re all right with this

    Falters and falls

  • What are some brands or products that have become irrelevant? Why?

    I'll start us off

    MySpace- Really annoying, I mean I guess some people who use it consider themselves hipsters, you have type in the annoying auto captcha codes that I can never get right the first time, and breeding ground for narcissistic people and eye gouging layouts. (Last time I was on it was maybe 2008 or 2009)

    Tommy Hilfiger - still expensive, boring, and a copy cat clone of all the other "name" brands.

  • Help me tweak these lyrics, I would be forever grateful!?

    I need a person who's good at putting words to music or vice versa?

    Which instrumental of a song would these lyrics go best with? I need know ASAP?

    For my counseling class project, we had to write lyrics about anxiety disorders and have to put it to the instrumental of a well known song.

    I have three that might work, but I'm not sure how to tweak the lyrics to work with what I have or edit it.

    "She Wolf" Shakira or "Back to black" Amy Winehouse or "Toxic" Britney Spears

    (My lyrics here, I need to add more, and uhmm repeat some lines or something, we're supposed to do this as a group but the group I got assigned to do only want to talk about their failed relationships and twitter, so ...)

    There must be an even number of words in a line or

    Else my world will come crashing down and

    The sky will really be falling

    Don’t wait and see

    I will keep it from happening

    This world is chaos and I keep order

    Every move I see you make is too much disorder

    Wipe shoes twice, before walking inside

    Keep your person off me at all times

    A bare minimum of four showers a day

    To keep the heinous contagious germs at bay

    Remember to scrub the apple for sixteen minutes under hot water so to get rid of the pesticide and

    To keep the doctor way away

    House must be sanitized so no cats, and please no dogs allowed!

    A perfectly balanced room depends on feng shui, and symmetry.

    I demand you learn karma and integral empathy.

    There’s no end in sight for my entropy

    I’m a compulsive in distress

    Let me in so I can breathe
