Song of the Day

So Cruel

We crossed the line
Who pushed who over
It doesn’t matter to you
It matters to me
We’re cut adrift
But still floating
I’m only hanging on
To watch you go down
My love

I disappeared in you
You disappeared from me
I gave you everything you ever wanted
It wasn’t what you wanted

The men who love you, you hate the most
They pass right through you like a ghost
They look for you but your spirit is in the air
Baby, you’re nowhere

Oh…love…you say in love there are no rules
Oh…love…sweetheart…
You’re so cruel

Desperation is a tender trap
It gets you every time
You put your lips to her lips
To stop the lie

Her skin is pale like God’s only dove
Screams like an angel for your love
Then she makes you watch her from above
And you need her like a drug

Oh…love…you say in love there are no rules
Oh…love…sweetheart…
You’re so cruel

She wears my love like a see-through dress
Her lips say one thing
Her movements something else
Oh love…like a screaming flower
Love…dying every hour…love

You don’t know if it’s fear or desire
Danger the drug that takes you higher
Head in heaven, fingers in the mire

Her heart is racing, you can’t keep up
The night is bleeding like a cut
Between the horses of love and lust
We are trampled underfoot

Oh…love…you say in love there are no rules
Oh…love…sweetheart…
You’re so cruel

Oh…love…to stay with you I’d be a fool
Sweetheart…you’re so cruelWe crossed the line
Who pushed who over
It doesn’t matter to you
It matters to me

We’re cut adrift
But still floating
I’m only hanging on
To watch you go down
My love

I disappeared in you
You disappeared from me
I gave you everything you ever wanted
It wasn’t what you wanted

The men who love you, you hate the most
They pass right through you like a ghost
They look for you but your spirit is in the air
Baby, you’re nowhere

Oh…love…you say in love there are no rules
Oh…love…sweetheart…
You’re so cruel

Desperation is a tender trap
It gets you every time
You put your lips to her lips
To stop the lie

Her skin is pale like God’s only dove
Screams like an angel for your love
Then she makes you watch her from above
And you need her like a drug

Oh…love…you say in love there are no rules
Oh…love…sweetheart…
You’re so cruel

She wears my love like a see-through dress
Her lips say one thing
Her movements something else
Oh love…like a screaming flower
Love…dying every hour…love

You don’t know if it’s fear or desire
Danger the drug that takes you higher
Head in heaven, fingers in the mire

Her heart is racing, you can’t keep up
The night is bleeding like a cut
Between the horses of love and lust
We are trampled underfoot

Oh…love…you say in love there are no rules
Oh…love…sweetheart…
You’re so cruel

Oh…love…to stay with you I’d be a fool
Sweetheart…you’re so cruel

More fun with chain letters

by

I received another chain letter today.  This one was urging people to flood the ACLU offices with Christmas Cards because the ACLU is trying to “take God, Christmas or anything religious away from us.” These kinds of things always get me going and I find it hard to just let them slide.  Chain letters like … Read more

Double Rainbow

by

So, there’s this video making the rounds on the internets that features a guy narrating while filming a rainbow.  The video itself is pretty boring; it’s the guys narration that has made the video famous. The video has made the CollegeHumor.com list of Top 10 Viral Videos of 2010 So Far and inspired tons of … Read more

Happy 4th

by

Isaac with some sparklers This is the first time we’ve ever lived in a city on July 4th that allows fireworks, so we did our patriotic duty and went down to the grocery store (yes, you can buy fireworks at the grocery store here) and bought a bunch.  Not all fireworks are legal, but you … Read more

Discourse?

by

I received one of those political chain letters today.  You know, the kind that takes some article or another, totally misrepresents it and then urges people to “send this to everyone you know”.  These things circulate for years and do nothing other than piss people off. The one I received this morning was about an … Read more

Legalize Gay Marriage?

by

This started as a simple Facebook status , but for some reason, a Facebook status can only be 420 characters long.  My submission was 628 characters long and when that wasn’t accepted I was forced to move the whole thing here. It all started with a few expressions of disappointment some friends made about Maine … Read more

Prospect Park Swans

by

The swans I wrote about this spring have made the New York Times.  The authors seem to think that the swans being violent is a surprising and new development.  However, my experience is that violent and territorial is standard behavior for these birds when other birds are around. Another thing to note is that the … Read more

Book Review – Anathem by Neal Stephenson

by

Neal Stephenson gets back to straight up science fiction with Anathem.  At first I was a little disappointed because I enjoyed his forays into historical fiction with Cryptonomicon and The Baroque Cycle and I was hoping for more of that.  However, Anathem revisits some of the themes from Snow Crash and Diamond Age, which are … Read more

Presenting Detail Values as Part of the Master – part 3

by

This is part three of a three part series on working with master-detail data.  In part one I showed how to present detail values on the master using a utility I wrote called the SubPropertyAccessor. In part two I showed how the SubPropertyAccessor works. In this part, I introduce a descendant of DataGridViewColumn that will … Read more
