Lyrics to A Very Model Halloween by Shyaporn

If you’re trying to figure out a costume you can wear for Halloween
But don’t have time or money or there’s nothing’s quite inspiring
Just rummage through your closet and I’m sure you can find something keen
Let’s think through all the ideas or old outfits that you might have seen

A hat and a machine gun makes a gangster from the silver screen
A white tee, red top, and a wig can cause rebelling like James Dean
A green shirt and some green tights make you Robin Hood or Peter Pan
Some black clothes and a tee-shirt make a very easy ninja man

Some black clothes and a tee-shirt make a very easy ninja man
Some black clothes and a tee-shirt make a very easy ninja man
Some black clothes and a tee-shirt make a very easy-peasy ninja man

A pompadour makes greasers, or the Fonz, or Elvis thin or fat
Some goggles make a steampunk or a villain if you add a hat
So whether pirate, ninja, zombie, scientist or Wolverine
To Have a Happy Hallow’s you just have to dress for Halloween

So whether pirate, ninja, zombie, scientist or Wolverine
To Have a Happy Hallow’s you just have to dress for Halloween

A striped shirt makes a mime or sailor plus or minus a beret
Some tights and a quick tutu makes you ready for the grand ballet
Just add some wings to be a fairy or a cut-rate Tinkerbell
A halo makes an angel and horns help a devil give ’em hell

A black suit or a tux can make you James Bond dapper for a spy
Kimonos and green diapers gives you different kind of Samurai
A corset, pearls and make-up is the start of Frankie’s horror rock
And bandaids make cheap pointy ears for magic elves or Mr. Spock.

Some bandaids make cheap pointy ears for trekkies who love Mr. Spock
Some bandaids make cheap pointy ears for trekkies who love Mr. Spock
Some bandaids make cheap pointy ears for uber-nerds who love their Mr. Spock

A Superhero ranges from a towel cape to a whole lot more
A swimsuit makes a wrestler or a lucha libre luchador
So whether pirate, ninja, zombie, scientist or Wolverine
To Have a Happy Hallow’s you just have to dress for Halloween

So whether pirate, ninja, zombie, scientist or Wolverine
To Have a Happy Hallow’s you just have to dress for Halloween

A pirate is a classic; you can plunder on the seven seas
A fro and funky clothes will give you grindhouse from the 70’s
A cowboy’s fun, but Indians apparently are less PC
But if you’re Asian you can rock some Raiden or old school Bruce Lee

Cigar and glasses mark your Groucho with a black mustache applied
You’re PeeWee with a grey suit and a red tie neatly butterflied
Celebrities and politicians, both alive and those who’ve died
And bear in mind that all of these can easily be zombiefied

And bear in mind that all of these can easily be zombiefied
And bear in mind that all of these can easily be zombiefied
Just add some blood and gore and all of these can easily be zombiefied

(Braaainnnzzzs)

A robot made of cardboard or a toga for a Greek hero
A paper hat for Swedish Chef, some shades will red pill your Neo
So whether pirate, ninja, zombie, scientist or Wolverine
To Have a Happy Hallow’s you just have to dress for Halloween

So whether pirate, ninja, zombie, scientist or Wolverine
To Have a Happy Hallow’s you just have to dress for Halloween

Faith – short film

Faith - short film

Here’s an interesting short film about faith from director Young-Min Kim. John Choi wakes up from an unsettling dream in which his professor has put his faith to the test. Every year, his professor tests his students with simple, but absurd, trick of dropping a lightbulb to rove their faith was futile. However, this time things are different when John and his fellow students stand for their faith despite the professor’s constant push. The students counteract every last argument the professor brings up. The ignorant walls of the professor’s belief shatters with the miracle at the end of the film. Three young students, John, Summer, and Becky stand up for their faith to prove their belief.

There you go now, shining just as brightly as the sun
looking up ahead with nothing that can bring you down
everyone can see the potential that you bring
so please make us proud with the things that you will do

cuz, in the future
you’ll become the best of best
and in the future
you’ll be the happiest than the rest
and nothing that will stop you
you’ll become like superwoman
be the strongest person you can be
and nothing that will hurt you
if you need me I will be there
you can do it you can win it
if you just can do your best
in the future…

along the way, you’ve learned so many things
starting from abc and 123 you have come
everyone can see the love that you can bring
so please make us proud about the things you do

growing stronger..
and I will guide you to the right way
no need to worry, you’re never alone
I promise you I’ll never let you go
I’ll continue to support because I love you

Off you go now, shining just as brightly as the sun
looking up ahead with nothing that can bring you down!
everyone can see, the awesomeness you have
you’ve made us all proud with the things that you have done

OOOOOoooooo~ la la la la la (x4)

Tune in tonight for the premiere of the animated series “Allen Gregory,” which tells the story of one of the most pretentious 7-year-olds of our time, on FOX. On the cartoon, the role of Julie De Longpre is played by Joy Osmanski. Here’s more on her character.

Allen Gregory’s 11-year-old adopted sister from Cambodia. She absolutely despises Allen Gregory, if not both of her fathers and life in general. To say she’s “not the favorite child” is putting it nicely. At school she has her two best friends, Beth and Val, but they aren’t exactly high on the social structure. So she isn’t looking forward to Allen Gregory coming and rubbing his perfectness in her face day in and day out. But Julie is surprised/elated by the discovery that her brother isn’t accepted by the other kids. She realizes that maybe he can take the “loser” spotlight, and her life at school could be somewhat tolerable. She will make it her life mission to keep him there.

The series premiere on at 8:30/7:30c tonight on FOX.
