Wonder if you can pick up my accent on the phone
When I call across the country, when I call across the world
I see you in my kitchen, I can picture you now
As you toast to your small town when you drink the happy hour

I’m in London still

I took the tube over to Camden to wander around
I bought some funky records with that old Motown sound
And I miss you like my left arm that’s been lost in a war
Today I dream of home and not of London anymore

I’m in London still

You know it’s okay, I’m kinda happy here for now
I think I’ve finally grown up and got myself a lover now
And if I ever come home and I, I think I will
I hope you’re gonna wanna hang at my place on Sunday still

Oh yeah I hope you will

Cause I’m in London still

You know we got it sorted, yeah we really got it down
To a fine art on Sunday in a sleepy Sunday town
I wonder what I’m missing, I think of songs I’ve never heard
I’m dreaming of your voices and I’m dreaming of your hurt

I’m in London still

“A man who chooses between drinking a glass of milk and a glass of a solution of potassium cyanide does not choose between two beverages; he chooses between life and death. A society that chooses between capitalism and socialism does not choose between two social systems; it chooses between social cooperation and the disintegration of society. Socialism is not an alternative to capitalism; it is an alternative to any system under which men can live as human beings.”

~ Human Action, Ludwig Von Mises p. 676.

“Capitalism is the only system based on the recognition that each individual owns his life. Capitalism is the only social system in which individuals are free to pursue their rational self-interest, to own property and to profit from their actions. It entrenches individual rights, limited Constitutional government, and political/intellectual/economic freedom.”

“Are you bothered by the continuing trend of government infringement on our liberty and rights? Do you want to do something to stop creeping socialism and the expanding welfare state?

One thing you can do, when everyone seems to be denouncing capitalism and wealth, is to proudly celebrate it. As it turns out, there is a holiday just for this purpose. Capitalism Day is the first Sunday in June …

The idea that profit making is moral goes against thousands of years of social conditioning. A really simple way to overturn this thinking is to gradually create a world in which the celebration of individualism and capitalism is expected (even if the moral basis for this social system is not accepted by everyone).”

“To the gadget-obsessed, math & science savvy, sci-fi fanatic who hyperventilates with excitement the moment you step into an Apple store – today is for you. And even if your geek colors only run as deep as being a Tina Fey devotee and Glee-k (fan of the tv show Glee), revel unashamedly in your geekiness.

International Geek Pride Day was first celebrated in 2006 to honor the anniversary of the original release of Star Wars in 1977. The holiday that claims the right of every person to be a nerd or a geek, Geek Pride Day is now celebrated with festivals and parties all over the world.

Created in 2006 at the first celebration, these ‘geek rights’ might have you wishing that Geek Pride Day was every day:

1. The right to be even geekier.
2. The right to not leave your house.
3. The right to not like football or any other sport.
4. The right to associate with other nerds.
5. The right to have few friends (or none at all).
6. The right to have as many geeky friends as you want.
7. The right to be out of style.
8. The right to be overweight and short-sighted.
9. The right to show off your geekiness.
10. The right to take over the world.”
