Sledging

1. Rod Marsh and Ian Botham: When Botham took guard in an Ashes match, Marsh welcomed him to the wicket with the immortal words: "So how's your wife and my kids?"  

2. Daryll Cullinan and Shane Warne:As Cullinan was on his way to the wicket, Warne told him he had Been waiting 2 years for another chance to humiliate him. "Looks like you spent it eating," Cullinan retorted.   

3. Glenn McGrath (bowling to portly Zimbabwean chicken farmer EddoBrandes): "Hey Eddo, why are you so F(_)ckng Fat?" Eddo Brandes: "Because everytime I F(_)ck your mother, she throws me a biscuit" 

4. Robin Smith and Merv Hughesuring 1989 Lords Test Hughes said to Smith after he played and missed:"You can't f(_)cking bat". Smith to Hughes after he smacked him to the boundary: "Hey Merv, we make a fine pair. I can't f (_)cking bat and you can't f(_)cking bowl." 

5. Merv Hughes and Javed Miandaduring 1991 Adelaide Test, Javed called Merv a fat bus conductor. A few balls later Merv dismissed Javed: "Tickets please", Merv called out as he ran past the departing batsman.   

6. Merv Hughes and Viv Richardsuring a test match in the West Indies, Hughes didn't say a word to Viv, but continued to stare at him after deliveries. "This is my island, my culture. Don't you be staring at me. In my culture we just bowl." Merv didn't reply, but after he dismissed him he announced to the batsman: "In my culture we just say f(_)ck off." 

7. And of course you can't forget Ian Healy's legendary comment which was picked up by the Channel 9 microphones when Arjuna Ranatunga called for a runner on a particularly hot night during a one dayer in Sydney... "You don't get a runner for being an overweight, unfit, fat cuunnt!!!"   

8. James Ormond had just come out to bat on an ashes tour and was greeted by Mark Waugh....... MW : "F(_)k me, look who it is. Mate, what are you doing out here, there's no way you're good enough to play for England" JO : "Maybe not, but at least i'm the best player in my family"   

9. McGrath to Ramnaresh Sarwan: "So what does Brian Lara's dick taste like?"Sarwan: "I don't know. Ask your wife." McGrath (losing it): "If you ever F(_)cking mention my wife again, I'll F(_)cking rip your Fing throat out." 

10. Mark Waugh standing at second slip, the new player (Adam Parore) comes to the crease playing and missing the first ball. Mark - "Ohh, I remember you from a couple years ago in Australia. You were sh it then, you're f (_)cking useless now". Parore- (Turning around) "Yeah, that's me and when I was there you were going out with that old, ugly sl(_)t and now I hear you've married her. You dumb cuuntt". 

11. Yet another Australian witticism with this time porky Sri Lankan batsman Arjuna Ranatunga the victim. Shane Warne, trying to tempt the batsman out of his crease mused what it took to get the plump character to get out of his crease and drive. Wicketkeeper Ian Healy piped up, "Put a Mars Bar on a good length. That should do it." 

12. Ravi shastri v/s the aussie 12th man, shastri hits it to this guy and looks for a single...this guy gets the ball in and says "if you leave the crease i'll break your f(_)cking head" Shastri: "if you could bat as well as you can talk you wouldn't be the f(_)cking 12th man" 

13. Malcolm Marshall was bowling to David Boon who had played and missed a couple of times. Marshall : "Now David, Are you going to get out now or am I going to have to bowl around the wicket and kill you?" 

14. Fred Trueman bowling. The batsman edges and the ball goes to first slip,and right between Raman Subba Row's legs. Fred doesn't say a word. At the end of the over, Row ambles past Trueman and apologises sheepishly. "I should've kept my legs together, Fred". "So should your mother" he replied.

No Apologies - TRAPT

Holding your breath, holding your tongue
you're only holding yourself back
So much to say, so far to run,
out from the shadow you have cast.


The best days of your life have yet to come
but it's okay, its alright to open up
You don't owe anybody anything
Life is yours to live anyway you please, no apologies
No promise left for you to keep
You can be whoever you want to be, no apologies

Closing the door, closing your eyes,
You're only closing yourself off.
So much to see, so much to try,
Don't be afraid of what you want.

The best days of your life have yet to come
but it's okay, its alright to open up
You don't owe anybody anything
Life is yours to live anyway you please, no apologies
No promise left for you to keep
You can be whoever you want to be, no apologies

Don't wanna be no one else
What you see is what you get
No one to please, no apologies, no apologies

The best days of your life have yet to come
but it's okay, its alright to open up
You don't owe anybody anything
Life is yours to live anyway you please, no apologies
No promise left for you to keep
You can be whoever you want to be, no apologies

"Open Your Eyes" ALTER BRIDGE

Looking back I clearly see
What it is that's killing me
Through the eyes of one I know
I see a vision once let go
I had it all

Constantly it burdens me

Hard to trust and can't believe
Lost the faith and lost the love
When the day is done

Will they open their eyes

And realize we are one
On and on we stand alone
Until our day has come
When they open their eyes
And realize we are one

I love the way I feel today

But how I know the sun will fade
Darker days seem to be
What will always live in me
But still I run

It's hard to walk this path alone

Hard to know which way to go
Will I ever save this day
Will it ever change

Will they open their eyes

And realize we are one

Still today we carry on

I know our day will come
When they open their eyes
And realize we are one

Will they open their eyes

And realize we are one
(its hard to walk this path alone
hard to know which way to go)
Will they open their eyes
and realize we are one
(lost the faith and lost the love when the day is done)

Will they open their eyes

And realize we are one

TO BE A MAN !!

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you.
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you.
But make allowance for their doubting too.
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting.
On being lied about,don't deal in lies.
Or being hated,don't give way to hating.
And yet don't look too good,nor talk too wise.
If you can dream and not make dreams your matter.
if you can think and not make thoughts your aim.




If you can meet with triumph and disaster.
And treat those two impostors just the same.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken.
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools.
Or watch the things you gave your life to,broken and stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools.
If you can make one heap of all your winings.





And risk it on one turn of pitch and toss.
And lose and start again at your beginnings.
And never breathe a word about your loss.
If you can force your heart with all your might.
To serve your turn long after they are gone.
And so hold on when there is nothing in you.
Except the will which says to them "HOLD ON"



If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue.
Or walk with kings nor lose the common touch.
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you.
If all men count with you but none too much.
If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds worth of distance sun.

Yours is the earth and everything that's in it
And which is more - You'll be a Man my son.

Courage (orianthi feat Lacey Mosley)

Take all my vicious words 
And turn them into something good
Take all my preconceptions
And let the truth be understood
Take all my prized possessions
Leave only what I need
Take all my pieces of doubt
And let me be what's underneath
Courage is when you're afraid,
But you keep on moving anyway
Courage is when you're in pain,
But you keep on living anyway


We all have excuses why
Living in fear something in us dies
Like a bird with broken wings
It's not how high he flies,
But the song he sings
Courage is when you're afraid,
But you keep on moving anyway
Courage is when you're in pain,
But you keep on living anyway

It's not how many times you've been
knocked down
It's how many times you get back up
Courage is when you've lost your way,
But you find your strength anyway
Courage is when you're afraid
Courage is when it all seems grey
Courage is when you make a change,
And you keep on living anyway


You keep on moving anyway
You keep on giving anyway
You keep on loving anyway

One Flaw In Women

Women have strengths that amaze men.....

They bear hardships and they carry burdens,

but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream.

They sing when they want to cry.

They cry when they are happy

and laugh when they are nervous.

They fight for what they believe in..

They stand up to injustice.

They don't take "no" for an answer

when they believe there is a better solution.

They go without so their family can have.

They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.

They love unconditionally.

They cry when their children excel

and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear about

a birth or a wedding..

Their hearts break when a friend dies.

They grieve at the loss of a family member,

yet they are strong when they

think there is no strength left.

They know that a hug and a kiss

can heal a broken heart.

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.

They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you

to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what

makes the world keep turning.

They bring joy, hope and love.

They have compassion and ideas.

They give moral support to their

family and friends.

Women have vital things to say

and everything to give..

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,

IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH..

A Brother Like You

I’m so thankful I have a brother
like you to count on.
I know you’ll always be there
with open arms if I need a hug,
and an open mind if I need someone
to understand.
I’m so glad that I can
be myself around you.
You know my qualities and my faults.
and you love me just the same.

I’m so proud to have a brother like you...
not just for what you have accomplished,
but for who you are.
I’m so lucky to have you to talk
and laugh with ...
to reminisce and make
new memories with.
I can’t tell you
how much it means
to have a brother like you.
You’re one of the most important
people in my life.

Thanks for being ...
... a brother like you.







I just want you to know how happy I am
to have you for a brother.
There are times... like right now...
when I want to let you know
exactly how I feel.
To put it simply, I don’t just love you...
I really like you.
It’s true that we’ve had occasional
disagreement over the years,
but that’s how we got to know
each other better...
to respect one another’s self-worth
and value each other’s uniqueness.
I appreciate the many ways you’ve helped me.
You have a real talent for knowing
just when I need you the most.
I know I can count on you
for support and encouragement,
and you’ve always been able to make me
feel good about myself... and life.
You brought something special
to our family, too.
Life just wouldn’t be the same without you...
and all the wonderful memories you’ve given me.
I’m so happy to have you as my brother.

Love you Always !!
