| Patrick Swayze First Interview since Cancer 1-4Thu, 08 Jan 2009 14:24:01 -0800 by linestPatrick Swayze Fights Cancer With Wife's SupportExclusive Interview: Swayze Tells Barbara Walters He Will Live, Not 'Chase Staying Alive' Patrick Swayze has been aggressively fighting stage 4 pancreatic cancer for the last year but said he hasn't let the battle take over his life."One thing I'm not gonna do is chase staying alive," Swayze told Barbara Walters in his first interview since the diagnosis last year. "You spend so much time chasing staying alive, you won't live."The 56-year-old-actor, beloved for his role in the film "Dirty Dancing," said he and wife Lisa Niemi still find time to dance together. And a few months ago, on the spur of the moment, they decided to renew their vows."We did it very Prince Charming and Snow White. I rode in on a snorting steed, white stallion" Swayze recalled. "It was like a fairy tale," Niemi said. "One of the happiest days ever."Watch Barbara Walters' exclusive interview with Patrick Swayze TONIGHT at 10 p.m. ETIn addition to traditional cancer treatments, Swayze has taken some "specific immune system Chinese herbs," but says he hasn't tried many alternative therapies because he learned that if "you feed your body, you feed the insatiable voracious appetite of the cancer."The chemotherapy did not make Swayze lose his hair. "I kind of lucked out," he said.Swayze said that in the year since his diagnosis, he had defied the statistics and "trash magazines" that predicted he should have "already been dead a long time," but he acknowledged that time may be running out."I'd say five years is pretty wishful thinking," he told Walters. "Two years seems likely if you're going to believe statistics. I want to last until they find a cure, which means I'd better get a fire under it."The actor said he's waging his battle against cancer "moment to moment.""When do you decide the fight isn't matching up to your quality of life?" he asked. "So far, I've got potential for a lot of quality of life."Swayze asked his oncologist, Dr. George Fisher, to describe his cancer so he could visualize the enemy he was fighting. That helped him endure the painful side effects of the chemotherapy, such as "colinitis and seriously inflamed bowels ... when I'd be laying on a bathroom mat curled up ... going, 'You son of a -- you're not gonna beat me.'"Swayze responded well to his first round of chemotherapy, but as is common, that treatment eventually became less effective, so he recently began a new therapy."You can bet that I'm going through hell," Swayze said, but he vowed to keep fighting."I'm at the beginning of my battle. And I expect it to be a long hard battle, one that I'm gonna win according to certain rules the rules that the cancer isn't going away. Now, mind you, I keep my heart and my soul and my spirit open to miracles. I pray."

| Un Curso De Milagros - Clase con Jose Antonio - Parte 3Thu, 08 Jan 2009 13:40:06 -0800 by 8elessar8"INTRODUCCIÓNÉste es un curso de milagros. Es un curso obligatorio. Sólo el momento en que decides tomarlo es voluntario. Tener libre albedrío no quiere decir que tú mismo puedas establecer el plan de estudios. Significa únicamente que puedes elegir lo que quieres aprender en cualquier momento dado. Este curso no pretende enseñar el significado del amor, pues eso está más allá de lo que se puede enseñar. Pretende, no obsatnte, despejar los obstáculos que impiden experimentar la presencia del amor, el cual es tu herencia natural. Lo opuesto al amor es el miedo, pero aquello que todo lo abarca no puede tener opuestos.Este curso puede, por lo tanto, resumirse muy simplemente de la siguiente manera:Nada real puede ser amenazado.Nada irreal existe.En esto radica la paz de Dios."

| Quasimodo and Phoebus Try to Find the Court of Miracles (Quasi and Phoebus ready)Thu, 08 Jan 2009 13:32:36 -0800 by CutiepunchThis is the scene where Quasimodo and Phoebus decide to work together to find Esmerelda. Esmerelda is in danger due to Frollo telling Quasi he know's where she is and will attack the Court of Miracles with 1,000 men. Quasi knowing she doesn't love him is hesitant and starts to give up on doing what's right, in his eyes its a lose lose situation.*I own no rights to this video/music. This was not made for profit.Phoebus: We have to find the Court of Miracles, before daybreak. If Frollo gets there first...are you coming with me?Quasimodo: I can't.Phoebus: I thought you were Esmeralda's friend.Quasimodo: Frollo's my master. I can't disobey him again.Phoebus: She stood up for you. You've got a funny way of showing gratitude. (He pauses, while Quasi turns away.)Phoebus: Well, I'm not going to sit by and watch Frollo massacre innocent people. You do what you think is right.(He turns and leaves.)Quasimodo: (To the 'goyles) Look. What am I supposed to do? Go out there and rescue the girl from the jaws of death, and the whole town will cheer like I'm some sort of hero? She already has her knight in shining armour, and it's not me. Frollo was right. Frollo was right about everything. I'm tired of trying to be something I'm not.(Laverne hands him a coat.)Quasimodo: I must be out of my mind!(At ground level, Phoebus is exiting the cathedral. No sooner has he stepped outside, than Quasi hops in front of him.)Quasimodo: Phoebus! (Phoebus shouts out in surprise) I'm coming with you!Phoebus: I'm glad you changed your mind.Quasimodo: I'm not doing it for you. I'm doing it for her.Phoebus: You know where she is? Quasimodo: No, but she said this would help us find her.(Quasi pulls out the talisman and hands it to Phoebus.)Phoebus: Good, good, good! Ahhh. Great! (Examines it.) What is it?Quasimodo: I'm not sure.Phoebus: Hmm. Must be some sort of code. Maybe it's Arabic. No, no, it's not Arabic. Maybe it's ancient Greek...Quasimodo: (whispering to himself) When you wear this woven band, you hold the city in your hand.Phoebus: What?Quasimodo: It's the city!Phoebus: What are you talking about?Quasimodo: It's a map! (Points to the centre) See, here's the cathedral, and the river, and this little...Phoebus: I've never seen a map that looks like this and...(They both talk at once, ending at the same time.)Quasimodo: ...and this is it!Phoebus: ...and this is not it!(They both breathe deeply, then Phoebus gives in.)Phoebus: All right, okay. You say it's a map, fine, it's a map. If we're going to find Esmeralda, we have to work together. Truce?(He slaps Quasi on the back.)Quasimodo: Well...okay.(Quasi slaps Phoebus back. Phoebus winces from the pain. They start off.)Quasimodo: Sorry. Related: the court of miracles hunchback notre dame phoebus quasimodo esmerelda | |
