I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool.
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that I've been given.
So I'm never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you.
It's been since Karoake Revolution that Anthony and I could remember the lyrics. Especially this chorus.
Didn't think this was true until I found it documented in the Februarys edition of The Week.
Berlin, Germany
Government as Pimp: The German government has threatened to cut employment benefits to a women who refused to take a job as a prostitute. The 25-year-old-women, whose name has not been released, is an out-of-work computer programmer. When a Berlin brothel owner saw her information in a database of job seekers and offered her a position, she refused on moral grounds. But the government said she couldn't continue to accept benefits if there was a job available to her. Prostitution has been legal in Germany for two years, so brothels are considered just another workplace. The unemployment rate nationwide is 9 percent.
Dresden, Germany
Skinheads Rally: Thousands of black clad neo-Nazis marched through Dresden this week, in the largest far-right rally since WW2. Extremists had been expected to turn out for the 60th anniversary of the Allied firebombing of the city, but not in such numbers. More than 5,000 of them massed outside the opera house, chanting slogans against "Anglo-American mass murderers and gangsters", and playing "Ride of the Valkyries" at the top volume over loudspeakers. "The Americans have left a trail of blood that stretches from Dresden to Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and possibly Iran," said Holger Apfel, leader of the far right National democratic Party. Dresden, which was almost completely flattened by massive bombing toward the end of the war, has in recent years become a center for neo-Nazi politics as well as anti-American sentiment.
I'd like to end this journal entry with a question. What would you do if some hot guy or girl gave you their number? Would call them with nothing intelligent to say? Or wait until you have something to talk about?
