This is My Now Lyrics from American Idol by Jordin Sparks
May 24, 2007
One of the songs which the two finalists at American Idol 2007 were to perform was the song “This is My Now” penned by the American Idol songwriting contest winners Scott Krippayne and Jeff Peabody.
This is My Now Lyrics
There was a time I packed my dreams away
Living in a shell, hiding from myself.
There was a time when I was so afraid
I thought I’d reached the end.
Baby, that was then.
But I am made of more than my yesterdays.This is my now,
And I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around,
I can’t believe the love I see.
My fear’s behind me,
Gone are the shadows and doubt.
That was then.
This is my now.
I had to decide.
Was I gonna play it safe?
Or look somewhere deep inside,
Try to turn the tide.
Find the strength to take that step of faith?This is my now,
And I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around,
I can’t believe the love I see.
My fear’s behind me,
Gone are the shadows and doubt.
That was then.
This is my now.I have a courage like never before, yeah.
I settled for less, but I’m ready for more.
Ready for more…This is my now,
And I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around,
I can’t believe the love I see.
My fear’s behind me,
Gone are the shadows and doubt.
That was then.
This is my now,
And I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around,
I can’t believe the love I see.
My fear’s behind me,
Gone are the shadows and doubt.
That was then.
This is my now.
This is my now.

Green Day Working Class Hero Lyrics
May 24, 2007
One of the highlights of American Idol finale besides Jordin Sparks, the American Idol Winner’s performance was the performance of Green Day. Green Day sang John Lennon’s “Working Class Hero”. Working Class Hero has powerful and amazing lyrics and props to Green Day who did a great rendition of Working Class Hero
Green Day Working Class Hero Lyrics
As soon as your born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you’re clever and they despise a fool,
Till you’re so fucking crazy you can’t follow their rules,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
When they’ve tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can’t really function you’re so full of fear,
A working class hero is something to be,A working class hero is something to be.
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you’re so clever and classless and free,
But you’re still fucking peasents as far as I can see,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
There’s room at the top they are telling you still,
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill,
A working class hero is something to be.
A working class hero is something to be.
If you want to be a hero well just follow me,
If you want to be a hero well just follow me.

Kal Penn turns into a Professor. To Teach at University of Pennsylvania
March 27, 2007
Kal Penn, best known for his role as the stoner Kumar Patel in the 2004 cult classic “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle,” is going to the Ivy League. He will be a guest instructor at the University of Pennsylvania during the spring 2008 semester, school officials announced Monday.
Penn, 29, will teach two undergraduate courses which won’t be Bake 101 and Mix 101. His classes are tentatively titled, “Images of Asian Americans in the Media” and “Contemporary American Teen Films”.
“The Asian American Studies Program is delighted that Kalpen Modi, aka Kal Penn, chose our program to host his teaching engagement at Penn,” program director Grace Kao said. “Mr. Modi is one of the leading Asian American actors of his generation and is particularly aware of how his racial and ethnic identification has affected his professional experiences.”
Students can enroll in the courses as Asian American studies or cinema studies programs in Penn’s School of Arts and Sciences, Kao said.
He recently finished shooting “Harold & Kumar 2″ with Cho. Kal Penn is also very well known in the American Indian community in the hit movie American Desi. Kal Penn’s other television and film credits include “The NameSake” where he plays the lead as Gogol Ganguli. In this movie, you can definitely see traces of Kumar especially in the pot-smoking scene, but Penn, has definitely matured as an actor. The NameSake could very well turn out to be his breakthrough movie, winning ringing endorsements from most corners. Penn also played the lead in the (awful)movie Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj, Epic Movie and also a few episodes of 24 this season.
The university said Penn, a native of Montclair, N.J., received a bachelor’s degree in sociology with a specialization in theater, film and television from the University of California, Los Angeles, and is pursuing a graduate certificate in international security at Stanford University.

March 15, 2007
We have earlier reported on and showed you guys a copy of the letter which the RIAA was sending out to college students for Copyright infrigement. Today, wired is updating its sensational post that the University of Michigan is identifying the students from its university to the RIAA , tracking them down using the IP addresses provided by the RIAA.
In their update, wired is reporting that this is not true and that the University of Michigan is NOT identifying the students to RIAA. According to Jack Bernard, Assistant General Counsel for the University of Michigan; the university is not identifying students suspected of sharing files to the RIAA, as was erroneously stated here. He said, “the university cannot disclose the students’ names associated with an IP address without a valid production document [subpoena] or permission from the students.” The University of Michigan has notified the students that are targets of potential RIAA lawsuits, and the students themselves will make the decision about whether to identify themselves to the RIAA and commence settlement talks.
Here is the full text of the email sent to wired

The RIAA has designated these individuals through IP addresses, and the University is in the process of identifying and notifying them.
This action is part of an increased effort to curtail unlawful peer-to-peer file sharing. As a result, individuals who engage in this practice are more likely than ever to be identified and sued by the RIAA. Most have settled these lawsuits out-of-court, typically for $4,000-$4,500.
The University does not condone unlawful peer-to-peer file sharing. Individuals who engage in it are violating a variety of University policies including Standard Practice Guide 601.7 - Proper Use of Information Resources, Information Technology, and Networks at U-M. This reminder also has been sent to all faculty and students.
Faculty, staff, or students who have installed peer-to-peer file sharing programs on their computers and are concerned that they might be unwittingly sharing files illegally should visit the University of Chicago’s useful web page that describes how to disable file sharing on a variety of programs (http://security.uchicago.edu/guidelines/peer-to-peer/).
U-M maintains a web page (http://www.copyright.umich.edu/) that describes the University’s position on illegal sharing of copyrighted materials and also includes a growing list of FAQs. All members of the University community are encouraged to study the materials on this page.
Lawful downloading of music is possible through sites such as Apple iTunes, MSN Music, Rhapsody, Ruckus, etc. Details about a number of these sites are available at:

Watch video of NBC’s Heroes spoof “Zeroes”
March 12, 2007
“Zeroes” is roughly a two-minute video spoof the the hugely popular Monday Night Series “Heroes”. There is a familiar voice spoofing the actual promotion video of “Heroes” as shown below
The spoof is the brainchild of Vince Manze, NBC’s marketing guru who admitted it to Variety that he created the spoof as an experiment . The two minute viral video however contains no references back to NBC or Heroes. It is a funny video about regular people with “pointless abilities”. This promotional viral video cost NBC only $17,000 but I am sure drove a lot more people into buying the DVD or keep current viewers with enough material to keep them distracted while Heroes takes approximately a 1 month break.
“It was an experiment. We wanted to see how far we could go, and we wondered if (auds) knowing we did it would be a detriment. People don’t want to feel as if they’re being intruded upon,” Manze says. “When they find out it’s from us, it’s like, ‘They fooled us.’
