Sweet Dreams

I was in a conversation about the song, Sweet Dreams, that was about my age and they did not remember this song, nor the Maralyn Manson cover. I was suprised and thought I would post them to remind people how evil the Eurythmics were, and why Manson recorded this song. He did not change the words, but when you remove the happy '80's pop beat, you listen to the words. Oh my. Manson is showing another of the world's hipocracies. The Eurythmics are portrayed first below:



And now, here is the Manson vid:



For those who are interested in the progress of the Ramey book on Autism and Dating...we are continuing to move forward. It is a harder process than eith of us thought it would be, but we succeeded in putting out a good book proposal to Jessica Kingsley Publishers, which was a bout 50 pages of various shtuff: a literature review of all the Autism and Marriage books, Autism and Dating books, and books that had at least one chapter on one of those topics. We had to differentiate what we were going to talk about from what was on the market, establish a need for our controbuition and establish why we were the ones to make that controbution. We than made a case that our book would have a market, and in which countries. We submitted a sample chapter, they requested another chapter, than said we should finnish the book. We have crossed the hundred page mark of the actual manuscript (seperate from the book proposal) and we are still going. We should make our July deadlline to be done with the editing of our book if we finnish the manuscript soon, and all is well. I do not anticipate more than 150 pages, and it will probably be a little shorter, 130-140 pages. Christian folk, please keep us in your prayers.

Okay, now here is the real treat. This guy that I have links to is funny. The first one is his speach on what dance means to him, and the next one is is "dating video" They are such a contrast it is a hoot...enjoy. :-)
