At my desk there's a body and it works all day Its brain crunches numbers automatically But I am gone, I'm at the heart of the Milky Way 'cause I'm gonna bring you back home I will burn through the miles to find you, love I won't linger in the beauty of a nebula I'll push on toward the lights of Andromeda and one day I will bring you back home I've come to dread that old hospital bed where your body still waits for its soul Please, can we be the first <b>...</b>

December 2012 has garnered much curiosity and many predictions because the Mayan calendar ends on this day. these tips will help you plan for the unexpected. STEP 1 Have a Plan Have a documented plan that you and your family will follow. No matter if it's the end of the world or a natural disaster, knowing what steps your family will take is comforting. STEP 2 Gather Documents If December 21, 2012 is truly the end of the world, having important documents ready may seem silly, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared. STEP 3 Stockpile Food In times of chaos (and the apocalypse certainly counts), it's every man for himself. STEP 4 Stockpile Other Supplies Ensure every family member has a flashlight and batteries. A battery-powered radio is good to have on hand, as well. A small generator to power electtronics during a power outage may also be helpful. A first-aid kit and medications are must-haves. STEP 5 Withdraw Cash Cash is king during ordinary days, and will presumably continue to be during the end days. To learn more about what will happen in 2012, simply visit: SimplyTrustedGuide.com

The disk itself is a commentary over the war with Iraq, but strangely enough two songs, or rather a song called Wake up, and a speech called Pale Blue Dot Interlude, reminded me so much of the Fire Nation's war. so strictly i used clips around and leading up to the "failure" of the day black sun because aang didn't do this fight the right way (IE learning all four elements, letting go of his earthly ties and kicking some major buttox in the avatar state, but we'll see...) just more or less, the timing with the feeling of loss in fighting and war. wh000000~ the series finally wraps up this saterday~~~~ I WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!!!! o0o *flails like the fan girl that i really am* Songs: "Pale Blue Dot Interlude" and "Wake UP" by Story of the Year Edited?: Yes Anime Tribute: Avatar the Last Airbender - The Guru, Crossroads of Destiny, The Headband, Nightmares and Day Dreams, Day of Black Sun, Western Air Temple, & Firebending Masters Time taken: +48 hours Disclaimer: Video Copyright of Nickelodeon, Songs copyrighted to Story of the Year.

[pt] edição de 2010 O ANO QUE FAREMOS CONTATO e ARMAGEDDON e criar um final diferente... While in orbit repairing a satellite, the Space Shuttle Atlantis is destroyed by a meteor shower, killing the entire crew. Meteorites then bombard New York City and other parts of the world, and NASA discovers that a large asteroid will collide with Earth in 18 days, effectively destroying the planet. The scientists at NASA—in cooperation with the Russian, Japanese, and other European space agencies—plan to detonate a nuclear bomb in the asteroid's core, splitting it in two and causing it to miss the Earth. The bomb must be placed 800 feet below the surface within eight hours of landing and no later than four hours before it will impact Earth. 2010 is a 1984 American science fiction film released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and directed by Peter Hyams. Its full title is given on posters and DVD releases as 2010: The Year We Make Contact, although the subtitle does not appear in the film itself. 2010 is a sequel to the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey, and is based on Arthur C. Clarke's novel 2010: Odyssey Two, a literary sequel to the film. Nine years ago, the American Discovery One's mission to Jupiter mysteriously failed.
