John de Gray
John de Gray (died 18 October 1214) was a medieval English Bishop of Norwich, and the elected but unconfirmed Archbishop of Canterbury. He was employed in the service of John of England even before John's coronation as king, for which he was rewarded with a number of ecclesiastical offices, culminating in his pro forma election to Norwich in 1200. De Gray continued in royal service after his elevation to the episcopate, lending the king money and undertaking diplomatic missions on his behalf. In 1205 King John attempted to further reward de Gray with a translation to the archbishopric of Canterbury, but a disputed election process led to de Gray's selection being quashed by Pope Innocent III in 1206.
Innocent consecrated Stephen Langton as archbishop against John's wishes, triggering a long dispute between the papacy and the king. The pope imposed various sanctions on England and John; at one point de Gray was one of only two bishops still legitimately holding office in England. In 1209 he became governor of Ireland for John, and spent until 1213 attempting to impose royal government on the Anglo-Norman barons and the native Irish in that country. Recalled to England to help defend against a threatened invasion by the French, de Gray then travelled to Rome to secure a papal pardon after the final settlement of John and Innocent's dispute over the bishop's abortive elevation to Canterbury. After securing his pardon de Gray was appointed Bishop of Durham, but he died on his way back to England.

Now Let Me Take You Back To When I Had A Shorty That,
Didn't Care About The Money She Was Just My Better
Half,
My Favorite Comedian, always made me laugh,
the reason why i left I'm puzzled about the fact,
she had trust issues. but i cant kiss no women how i
kiss you,
and i cant find the perfect one she is you,
she says i cant forgive you,
cuz i would find it hard to just re live you and go
through all of the issues and the tissues,
she cried but...
she cracked a smile at the same time,
and my heart beats kinda like the bass line,
she heard a shorty's voice coming through the phone
line,
then she ran away.. now i know its race time!
runs to the elevator, now i cant elevate,
swept me off my feet but right now i cant levitate,
yeah we all make mistakes but she wont let me off wit
that..
she's the only one i need i'm not forgetting that

I Had Another Shorty Monday,
Then Another Tuesday.
Slept With One Wednesday,
Then Another Thursday,
Saw My Love Friday, Then She Left Sunday,
It Aint Working Now But We Can Be Together Someday,
Lookin For Another, But They To Hard To Trust,
- But Me And Her Would Talk About It There Cant Be
Another Us!
I Guess Im In A Rush You Cant Speed In A Slow Truck,
My Hearts A Baby But Its In A Rush To Grow Up,
Love Is Like The Streets Just Hold Your Own And Stay
Tough,
But Who Could Cook For Me And Watch Me Get A Shape Up,
And Every time I Mess Up, Who Gone Make Me Shape?
But Why We Gotta Break Up? Mario Can Save Us,
We Used To Make The World Jealous Now Whos Gonna Hate
Nobody! You're The Only One I Want Prolly,
Thats Why Your Heart Got Me.. Huh!?
Mind And Your Soul Robbed Me,
Death Can Threaten Me But Wont Stop Me, Uh!
