Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Well, really now,
aren't we all just so excited??
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6A6pMO_WKM - I'm So Excited - The Pointer Sisters
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27m_So_Excited:
"I'm So Excited" is a song written by Trevor Lawrence and the Pointer Sisters. The song was performed by and appeared originally on the Pointer Sisters 1982 album So Excited!, while a remixed version appeared on the 1984 rerelease of their 1983 album Break Out. The song was selected as one of the "Songs of the Century" by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and ranked #264 out of 365 songs.
Upon its first release in 1982 (through inclusion in the movie Summer Lovers) it peaked at #30 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #46 on the Billboard Black Singles chart in the U.S. However, two years later, when the Pointers were experiencing massive success with Break Out, the song was added to that album and re-released. It subsequently reached #9.
Lest we forget, today is also May Day! Read all about
it in these observances from past years:

Songfellows Quartet":
Carol,
I meant to tell you about an exciting time I had Saturday, April 24th.
I think I have told you how I do Promoting in Gospel
Music here in Grand Prairie, TX. I had a group here from Nashville, TN named
The Songfellows Quartet. They have a web site -
http://www.songfellows.net/. One
of the Gentlemen that sings with them, Mr. Ed Hill, also used to sing
with J.D. Sumner and The Stamps Quartet who were back up vocals
for Elvis Presley. Ed was the voice that announced, "Elvis has left the
building." Ed told me a lot of stories how it was working with Elvis.

From ArcaMax Jokes - 04/30/10:
Rules for Non-Pet Owners Who
Visit and Complain About Our Pets 1. They live here. You don't. 2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. (That's why they call it "fur"niture.) 3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people. 4. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy and walks on all fours. Although they doesn't speak clearly, they communicate extremely well, especially cats. 5. Dogs and cats are better than kids ... they eat less, don't ask for money all the time, are easier to train, usually come when called (this does not apply to cats), never drive your car, don't hang out with drug-using friends, don't smoke or drink, don't worry about having to buy the latest fashions, don't wear your clothes, and don't need a gazillion dollars for college. Also, if they get pregnant, you can sell the children!!! ************* Parachute Jump ************* Church Money |
