Famous quotes by Jay Leno:

"I went into a McDonald's yesterday and said, "I'd like some fries." The girl at the counter said, "Would you like some fries with that?""
"The New England Journal of Medicine reports that 9 out of 10 doctors agree that 1 out of 10 doctors is an idiot."
"Politics is just show business for ugly people"
"According to this week's Time magazine, President George Bush is a serious fitness buff. He works out 60 to 90 minutes a day with weights. Apparently he likes working out because it 'clears his mind.' Sometimes it works a little too well."
"For the first time in history, sex is more dangerous than the cigarette afterward."
"War continues in Iraq. They're calling it Operation Iraqi Freedom. They were going to call it Operation Iraqi Liberation until they realized that spells 'OIL.'""
"Bush is smart. I don't think that Bush will ever be impeached, 'cause unlike Clinton, Reagan, or even his father, George W. is immune from scandal. Because, if George W. testifies that he had no idea what was going on, wouldn't you believe him?"
"Some Democrats say the estimated $60 billion dollar cost of a war with Iraq could be better spent at home. When he heard that, President Bush agreed and announced plans to bomb Ohio."
"You can't stay mad at somebody who makes you laugh."
"Here's something to think about: How come you never see a headline like 'Psychic Wins Lottery'?"

Choose To Believe

by: Julianne

[Words and Music by: Julianne Tarroja]
[VERSE 1]
I've been in and out of the light
Struggling from the fight
Vaguely tracing your footsteps
On the sand
[VERSE 2]
Blinded by the things
I thought that life could bring
Lost in expectations
Unfulfilled
[REFRAIN]
I know that life is a choice we make
Right or wrong
Give or take
It's only either way
But to choose the Lord is all that
Matters to me
And oh, He promises serenity
For those who
[CHORUS]
Choose to love
Choose to live
Choose to forgive
Wipe away my eyes
So I can see the way
You paved for me
Breathe choose to sing
And all of the beauty that You bring
But most of all
I choose to believe
[VERSE 3]
I've been searching in
All the wrong places
When all of the answers
Were right in front of me
[VERSE 4]
I needed my tears to see You clearly
I needed my pain to feel You near me
Rescue me
