Should YOU have a baby?
Sender: Wayness
Should YOU have a baby?
"Life is about choices. You choose your behaviour, and therefore you choose your consequences. Don't choose the behaviour if you can't deal with the consequences. Babies are a lot easier to make than they are to raise." ~ Dr Phil

Armageddon
Sender: Pascal Jean
"Armageddon"
Armageddon (1998), a story about the danger of an asteroid hitting the earth and ending the world. NASA tries to stop it by drilling a hole in its surface and blowing up the asteroid from the inside out. The film features a star-studded cast including Bruce Willis, Owen Wilson, Michael Clarke Duncan, Ben Affleck and Steven Tyler's daughter, Liv Tyler. But the main thing I remember from this movie is Aerosmith’s “I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing”!
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Where every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing
Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever
I don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing
I don't want to miss one smile
I don't want to miss one kiss
I just want to be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just want to hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time Yeah yeah yeah
I don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing
I Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing
Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
And I don't want to miss a thing...
