American Girl
By Tom Petty

Well, she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin'
That there was a little more to life somewhere else

After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
And if she had to die tryin'
She had one little promise she was gonna keep

O yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl]

Well, it was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by
Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach

And for one desperate moment
There he crept back in her memory
God it's so painful when something that's so close
Is still so far out of reach

O yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

Were you raised on promises? Have those promises come true, and if not, who is to blame:
you, the government, evil money grubbing corporations, or as David Byrne of The Talking Heads once sang of, "The foreigners in growing numbers?"

Is there a conspiracy by an Illuminati hidden government to get rid of the middle class? Are you having trouble paying your rent, or mortgage; have you already lost your place to live? Has greed ruined us??

Are we really ruined at all, if we have the right attitude?

Promises were, maybe, made to be broken, and were we really promised anything anyway, and if we were who did the promising, and where are they now?

B.K.S Iyengar is considered the world's greatest living yoga master. He refined and perfected the technique of doing yoga poses that is most widely taught in the United States.

Iyengar began life as a frail and sickly child — but now, at the ripe age of 87, the yoga master can still stand on his head and hold a conversation at the same time.

I'm addicted
to expresso
and
the smile on
my daughter's face
when
my
love
takes her shopping.
