Tuesdays with Muerte

So my roommates and I created a band based on this one song we all know called "All Hands on Deck" by Waking Ashland. I've linked it here so you call all imagine me singing and playing guitar. Brian Spencer wrote a piano part. John, the Asian, wrote a bass part. Lee McCready (who broke a girls' window today with a snowball) is on the egg-shake. Please enjoy!

President Bush launched the US invasion of Iraq on March 19, 2003. It's almost been 5 years since that date. . . I've stopped keeping tabs on the US policy on the war in Iraq. After viewing some viral videos I saw posted on the internet regarding the training and transfer of power to the local armed forces, I don't believe President Bush has any realistic hope of pulling out US troops in the near future. (I hope the Al qaeda didn't get a view of this...) Which do you think is going better? Click on this: Afghanistan Or IRAQ

"The Village Blacksmith", a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, is featured in a old-school, family-favorite movie. The italicized portions of the first stanza are the lines I'm positive are quoted in the movie. Can you guess which movie? " Under a spreading chestnut tree The village smithy stands; The smith, a mighty man is he, With large and sinewy hands; And the muscles of his brawny arms Are strong as iron bands. His hair is crisp, and black, and long, His face is like the tan; His brow is wet with honest sweat, He earns whate're he can, And looks the whole world in the face, For he owes not any man."
