Cyberbullying is bullying
It ruins lives
Cyberbullying
Let’s fight it together
Ben Folds - Still Fighting It - Lyrics
Good morning, son, I am a bird wearing a brown polyester shirt
You want a coke? Maybe some fries?
The roast beef combo's only dollar 9.95
It's okay, you don't have to pay, I've got all the change
Everybody knows it hurts to grow up and everybody does
It's so weird to be back here let me tell you what
The years go on and we're still fighting it, we're still fighting it
And you're so much like me, I'm sorry
Good morning, son in twenty years from now
Maybe we'll both sit down and have a few beers
And I can tell you 'bout today and how I picked you up
And everything changed it was pain, sunny days
And rain I knew you'd feel the same things
Everybody knows it sucks to grow up and everybody does
It's so weird to be back here let me tell you what
The years go on and we're still fighting it, we're still fighting it
You'll try and try and one day you'll fly away from me
Good morning, son, I am a bird
It was pain, sunny days and rain
I knew you'd feel the same things
Everybody knows it hurts to grow up and everybody does
It's so weird to be back here, let me tell you what
The years go on and we're still fighting it, we're still fighting it
Oh, we're still fighting it, we're still fighting it
And you're so much like me, I'm sorry

GROUNDHOG DAY


Groundhog Day  is a day celebrated on February 2. According to folklore, if it is cloudy when a groundhog  emerges from its burrow on this day, then spring will come early; if it is sunny, the groundhog will supposedly see its shadow and retreat back into its burrow, and the winter weather will continue for six more weeks.
 
Today, Groundhog Day 2014,  emerging from his lair on Super Bowl Sunday, groundhog Punxsutawney Phil couldn’t predict the winner of the big game but his handlers said he was sure of his weather forecast: There will be six more weeks of winter!

SUPER BOWL COMMERCIAL


The Super Bowl XLVIII is an upcoming American football match between American Football Conference champion, Denver Broncos, and National Football Conference champion Seatle Seahawks, to decide the National Football League. It is going to be held tomorrow, February 2, at Metlife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey. 
Last year Super Bowl match was seen by approximately 111 million viewers. At no other time during the year does any business obtain that extensive amount of viewership. Super Bowl Sunday has power! Power to draw viewers; power to capture attention; power to make consumers sit up and watch commercials. 
For many people, the best part of this great day is watching the commercials armed with tones of snacks. Here is one of these clips! Isn't it cute? 

If you want to listen to the song, or try to sing it, here it is!
