B: Well, you know, I don't particularly like Korean barbeque. Sorry.

Quotations
'A good compromise, a good piece of legislation, is like a good sentence; or a good piece of music. Everybody can recognize it. They say, "Huh, it works. It makes sense." (Barack Obama)
"Focusing your life on solely making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential." (Barack Obama)

Wings of Change, by Sly Joe podshow.com
Once upon a time you were, "Look don't touch."
But now you've changed my mind
Opened up the door and said, "I'd like for you to come inside"
Chorus
Well, the wings of change are blowing
The sea is overflowing
With good intentions
Nature has her way of working wonders everyday
And each one with reason
Her invitation was like a monsoon coming
To end the dry season
Chorus
Well, the wings of change are blowing
The sea is overflowing
With good intentions
The time is right for us to right
We should unite, there's nothing ever happen by chance
Eyes don't lie and smiles can't hide this feeling inside
May I have this dance?
Chorus
