1) Elvis Presley Quotes:

-Elvis often used this adaptation of a well-known quotation. “When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times...I learned very early in life that: ‘Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain’t got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend - without a song.' So I keep singing a song. Goodnight. Thank you.”

Lisa Marie Quotes

Music has always gotten me through life, particularly honest, real music. Music has had a profound effect on me all my life. I wanted to be able to give that to others, believe it or not. Music's always been such a big part of my life - it's always got me through everything and it always moves me - so I wanted to move others in some way, or touch them, and use my art with my own fingerprint in

2) Elvis Presley & other Legends

In late 1955, Presley made his earliest known film appearance in a documentary entitled The Pied Piper of Cleveland, a look at the career of disc jockey Bill Randle.

The film, (which reportedly included performance footage of Elvis as well as Bill Haley and His Comets and other acts), was shown in its entirety only once (in Cleveland) and was never released commercially.

The film is currently considered "misplaced" and some Presley researchers maintain it never existed, although there is ample evidence to suggest it did.

Beginning with Love Me Tender (opened on November 15, 1956), Presley starred in 31 motion pictures, having signed to multiple long-term contracts on the advice of his manager. These were usually musicals based around Presley performances, and marked the beginning of his transition from rebellious rock and roller to all-round family entertainer.

Elvis was praised by all his directors, including the highly respected Michael Curtiz, as unfailingly polite and extremely hardworking.

Perhaps the biggest letdown of his film career was when Colonel Parker made him give up the lead role in the film version of West Side Story.

Elvis was approached at first by the producers, being their favorite choice, out of several leading men like Warren Beatty, Anthony Perkins, Richard Chamberlain, Tab Hunter, Bobby Darin, Gary Lockwood, and Troy Donahue.

He originally wanted to play the role, but Parker insisted he pull out to star in the unusual musical films he was accustomed to.

From 1960 to 1961, the total box office earnings of his movies during that time were $100 million, but he was upset upon learning that West Side Story was a huge hit and earned ten Academy Awards.

4) Favourite Elvis song Lyrics for
Do You Know Who I Am

This new feature of our ezine is for karaoke superstars & the fans that just like to sing-along with the King.

LYRIC:

Do you know who I am
Have you have any idea who I am
Yes it's been quite a while
And it's so good to see you again

It's so dark in this place
That I can't see your face
May believe Oh I see
Does he know who I am
And what once was between you and me

Do you know how I tried
Have you any idea how I tried
Not to keep you in sight
Do you know darling how much I cried

I remember you said
That you had to forget about me, and be free
Do you know who I am or have you forgot about me

Do you think there's a chance
You and I could start over again
Is there a prayer you still pray
Or has it just been too long and we're through
Well, what about you and him
Oh he's only a friend
Well I see there's still a chance for me

Well maybe some other time, in some other place
With our love in your heart and a smile on your face
You will know who I am
When that time comes you'll know who I am
You will know who I am
When that time comes you'll know who I am
You will know who I am
When that time comes you'll know who I am

5) Party Planner tips:

Super Foods for that Super Party

As they say, people will always remember the foods they have tasted at a party. That’s why most party organizers are so meticulous when it comes to party menu planning.

However, planning a party menu does not have to be tedious and costly. All you need is the right stuff, the right attitude, and the right taste to incorporate every food item that will definitely fill even the hungry beast.

What’s important when planning a menu for the party is to create dishes that are not only “finger-licking’ good” but also health-friendly, too.

Here is a list of some tips that you can use when planning your party menu without having to stretch your budget.

1. Go fresh and raw

Whatever kind of party you will organize, it’s best to always have a few dishes that use fresh and raw ingredients.

It would be better to have a salad or fruits as your appetizers. They are nutritious, flavorful, and have a wide range of textures. And there’s no cooking required! And so, you will have more time to prepare other things for the party.

2. Consider the foods that are in-season

When planning a menu, it’s best to consider foods that are in season. Not only do you get foods that are of the best quality but you can also save more money because in-season foods usually cost less.

3. Consider the preparation and cooking time of the dishes

In this way, you will be able to estimate how much time is needed to prepare all the dishes that you want to present at the party.

If you think you will only have a little time to prepare the foods, then, it’s best to choose dishes that are easier and quicker to prepare.

4. Have a shopping list

Most people tend to over spend when shopping for their party menu. This is because they tend to snatch whatever they think would fit for their menu.

This will definitely cost you a lot of money. Hence, it would be better to use a shopping list. Write down the exact ingredients you need for the dishes. It’s best to stick to the budget first so that you will know that you are not going overboard with the party menu alone.

The important thing to remember when planning a party menu is to consider foods that not only taste good but are also healthy for your guests.

8) Editor’s Notes & Fun Stuff:

Some humour to put a smile on your face!

I was riding to work yesterday when I observed a female driver cut right in front of a pickup truck causing him to have to drive on to the shoulder to avoid hitting her. This evidently angered the driver enough that he hung his arm out his window and flipped the woman off.

"Man, that guy is stupid" I thought to myself.

I ALWAYS smile nicely and wave in a sheepish manner whenever a female does anything to me in traffic and here's why:

I drive 48 miles each way every day to work, that's 96 miles each day. Of these, 16 miles each way is bumper-to-bumper. Most of the bumper-to-bumper is on an 8 lane highway so if you just look at the 7 lanes I am not in, that means I pass something like a new car every 40 feet per lane.

That's 7 cars every 40 feet for 32 miles. That works out to be 982 cars every mile, or 31,424 cars. Even though the rest of the 32 miles is not bumper to bumper, I figure I pass at least another 4000 cars. That brings the number to something like 36, 000 cars I pass every day.

Statistically, half of these are driven by females, that's 18, 000. In any given group of females, 1 in 28 has PMS. That's 642. According to Cosmopolitan, 70% describe their love life as dissatisfying or unrewarding. That's 449. According to the National Institute of Health, 22% of all females have seriously considered suicide or homicide. That's 98. And 34% describe men as their biggest problem. That's 33.

According to the National Rifle Association 5% of all females carry weapons and this number is increasing. That means that EVERY SINGLE DAY, I drive past at least one female that has a lousy love life, thinks men are her biggest problem, has seriously considered suicide or homicide, has PMS, and is armed.

Flip one off?

I think not.
