Superman Song-3

Everything by Lifehouse dedicated to Superman

Find Me Here
Speak To Me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That's leading me
To the place where I find peace again.

You are the strength, that keeps me walking.
You are the hope, that keeps me trusting.
You are the light to my soul.
You are my purpose...you're everything.

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

You calm the storms, and you give me rest.
You hold me in your hands, you won't let me fall.
You steal my heart, and you take my breath away.
Would you take me in? Take me deeper now?

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

Cause you're all I want, You're all I need
You're everything,everything
You're all I want your all I need
You're everything, everything.
You're all I want you're all I need.
You're everything, everything
You're all I want you're all I need, you're everything, everything.

And How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

Superman Song-2


Its not easy to be me by Five For Fighting

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
I’m just out to find
The better part of me

I’m more than a bird...i’m more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It’s not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I’ll never see

It may sound absurd...but don’t be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed...but won’t you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
It’s not easy to be me

Up, up and away...away from me
It’s all right...you can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy...or anything...

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
Men weren’t meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I’m only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me
Inside me
Yeah, inside me
Inside of me

I’m only a man
In a funny red sheet
I’m only a man
Looking for a dream

I’m only a man
In a funny red sheet
And it’s not easy, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm...

Its not easy to be me

Superman Song

Superman Song by Crash Test Dummies

Tarzan wasn't a ladies' man
He'd just come along and scoop 'em up under his arm Like that,
quick as a cat in the jungle
But Clark Kent, now there was a real gent
He would not be caught sittin' around in no Junglescape,
dumb as an ape doing nothing
Superman never made any money
saving the world from Solomon Grundy
And sometimes I despair the world will never see
Another man like him

Hey Bob, Supe had a straight job
Even though he could have smashed through any bank In the United States.
He had the strength, but he would not
Folks said his family were all dead
Their planet crumbled but Superman,
he forced himself To carry on,
forget Krypton, and keep going
Superman never made any money
saving the world from Solomon Grundy
And sometimes I despair the world will never see
Another man like him

Tarzan was king of the jungle and Lord over all the apes
But he could hardly string together four words:
"I Tarzan, You Jane."
Sometimes, when Supe was stopping crimes
I'll bet that he was tempted to just quit and turn his back
On man, join Tarzan in the forest
But he stayed in the city,
and kept on changing clothes In dirty old phonebooths
till his work was through
And nothing to do but go on home

Superman never made any money
saving the world from Solomon Grundy
And sometimes I despair the world will never see
Another man like him

Superman never made any money
saving the world from Solomon Grundy
And sometimes I despair the world will never see
Another man like him

Rift Rumors

Rift Rumors

Cricket was aptly named as the Gentlemen's game as it was famous with the
aristocrats in England. Recent developments have indeed shaken the very
foundations of this notion and its no other than the media who is responsible
for this bummer.

For instance take the three latest rift:

Ponting and Warne

Two of the greatest player in there own domain. Warne being one of the best spinner in the world and Ponting having the honor of captaining the most successful cricket team in the history of cricket. Both the players have answered there critics with solid performance and carrying Australia safely to a draw.

There is nothing going on here but still the British media the most notorious in the World is just trying to help there home team by distracting the visitors. But, Australia is used to such haphazard allegations and they have performed
even better under pressure. English media can try but in vain. Australia will
still emerge victorious. Peace.

Dravid and Ganguly

Confusions, conundrums and complexities have caused the entire Indian cricket team to fall to trenches of Cricket, may it be One day internationals or Test cricket. And as always the blame has to come on the captain. Here the media making the situation worse by flaring up a rift between Ganguly and Dravid.

Two entirely different scenarios: Ganguly suffering from a lull but a capable captain and Dravid at peak of his form but doomed to failure as a captain. So instead of trying to strike a balance and motivate the players the media is making the situation worse by creating an unnecessary fracas between the two players.

Ganguly said :"I want to make it very clear that there is no rift, no trouble, no problem between us [himself and Dravid]." It’s a strong statement and I have my full confidence in Ganguly to perform well for the betterment of his career and the Indian team as well. No better chance than destroying Zimbabwe worst than an Indian A tram to tatters. It’s a blessing in disguise and
no one can benefit from it more than Dada Saurav.

Inzamam and Shoaib

Over and over again Shoaib Akhtar has impressed everyone with his performance and over and over again he has disappointed everyone with his behaviour in and out of field. His callow attitude has indeed resulted in him being left out of the Pakistan’s successful tour of India and the West Indies.

Inzi’s cool as cucumber attitude has helped him generously. He leads a successful outfit and now as a deep thinker of the game he has proposed to reconcile with firebrand Shoaib. He knows that Shoaib’s talent is valuable and could pay vital dividends in there forthcoming tour with England.

Its time that Shoaib realize that playing a gentlemen game he has to act like a gentlemen and cool down.

Halaal and Zabiha

First of all there is a question of sticking to the faith.

Haram means disapproved in quran. It could be anything ranging from taking interest to drinking khamar to eating tobbaco or even eating pork. Haram and halal is clearly differentiated in shariah (islamic way of life). Now even if you consume any food that has not undergone zabiha its still haram even though it is chicken or meat or beef.

If it says that chicken is halal it means that it has undergone the zabiha practice. Now I will list all those animals that are halaal (edible) but only after they have undergone zabiha:

- Fishes whose scales are not visible
- Wild animals who have claws or sharp teeths (canines) coze they tear there prey apart with claws
- only those birds who have sacks which are scientifically known as wattles under there beaks are halal those who dont are not.
- offcourse pig is haraam coze for a any animal to be halaal it has to be cut from the neck and pig has no neck.

Now three important things that has to be considered for food to be halaal:
1. How is tha animal raised ?
2. Process of slaughtering ?
3. Who is doing the slaughtering ?

1. Raising of animals

An animal to be halaal it has to be raised on organic food like vegetations and grains. Some animals that are raised in cramped up conditions are raised on bones and animal remains are haraam. Any animal that consumed such things have consumed blood and its haraam in islam to consume anything that contains blood. The animal has to be a herbivore.

For an animal to be Halal it should not be given any hormones.
In the meat industry, beef is given female sex hormones estrogene. This is meant to increase the weight of the animal in a short period of time.
The effect of consuming an animal with injected female hormones is a reduction in the masculine appearance of boys and men and early puberty in females.

2. Process of Slaughtering

On large farms, it is a standard practice to electrocute the animals, and then drain the blood. This method affects the central nervous system of the animal, and interferes with the drainage of blood. It is clearly stated in the Qur'an that Muslims should not consume blood, so we should make sure that any organic meat we buy has been slaughtered on a small scale by hand.

On the contrary, if an animal is slaughtered in accordance with Islamic guidelines, the central nervous system works properly, and all of the animal's blood comes out.

Remaining blood in the animal is a source of fermentation and destruction of meat quality. This means bacteria can grow easily on the meat.

3. who is slaughtering ?

there are lot of farms that employ non-muslims for slaughtering who arent bothered to say allah hu akhbar or recite vajjahto vajiha before slaughtering.

Conclusions:

there is no way that you can make alterations to a religion and to something as important as sharia. So ppl either try to switch to organic food or go to a trusted zabiha market and I am sure with such rampant spread of islam its not a problem finding zabiha meat. For instance i saw a halaal chineese food restaurent in Chinatown located in downtown Manhattan.
