It seems another uptight, ultra-conservative group is laying out the "homosexual card".  This time it's on one Mr. SpongeBob SquarePants.  It's a cartoon character folks, chill out.  Don't make us send you to Abu Graib for some "reeducation"!

The Rain

Comes a time when I wonder why
Stand in the rain and freeze
Drive along and hit a tree
Buy a gun and blow your brains
Waste your time on sidelines
Wait in line until the end
Step aside he's a big head
He can go through, but not you
What is this fascination in life?

Step outside and into my mind
Feel the strange vibration
The rain it falls cold and sharp
It's totally random, makes no sense
Feel the rain run down
Feel the pain as they kick you when you're down
Hear them laugh, you're the clown
What a cold strange place it is

The sound of a guitar fills the ears
They don't understand, they don't care
Fear reigns over you, what will they say?
Will they laugh, cry or scream?
Tears rain from eyes that cry
And you can't come in to freeze with me
It's my mind, even if you do care
You can't change my minds pains and fears.

PolarBlog V1.5.0 has been released.  This release contains…

Enhancements

• SafeSQL - All queries have been rewritten to use SafeSQL in order to prevent SQL query injection problems.  There were not any known problems of this sort and this was strictly a precautionary change.
• Entry & Comment Auto-Linking has been added.
• Comment Email - Comment email notifications now indicate who posted the comment.
• PolarBlog now supports Mozilla Live Bookmarks.  If you are using a modified and/or different index.php on your blog, you will need to edit it if you want to utilize this feature.
• Link Anchors - Link anchors for comment/reply entry and viewing have been added.  These will now take you to the appropriate section on a page so you don't have to scroll down on long entries/replies.
• Comment Double-Space - Added HTML non-breaking space entity replacement on comment double space when adding or editing.  This is the same functionality that is provided on entry add/edit.
• Changed Entry Index to display topic before name.
  e.g. Topic: Entry Title

• The Entry Preview has been updated to use I18N_DATE_FORMAT instead of the deprecated DATE_FORMAT.
• The entry comment count has been fixed to exclude counting comments that have the display set to OFF.

• None

Cue the Dueling Banjos!  It's time for a little southern courtroom, jury action.

Living In Fear

Two people in the street —United together
taking every move with such care
One hoping the other won't leave
Time passes fast, without pain

[chorus]
Living in fear, are we all sincere?
Can we always look straight ahead
No disillusion, distractions, nor fears…
Always staying near
Two people in different places —Drawn apart
Time pullling them apart with allure
Both hoping the other is still there
Time drags out as the knife is thrust in

Two people no longer in the same game — The blade
The steel pushes deep but there's no pain
One pushing the blade, the other unaware
Time speeds forward toward confrontation

[chorus]

Two people back together — Stiff conversation
The pain is felt, of one who rubbed the salt
What is to be said?  The blood has been shed
The tears flow by, the blade now points the other way
I feel the pain and your anguish today

[chorus]

Two people again together —Reunited
Putting the pieces in place
Will the time pass from this standstill?

[chorus]

Always staying near…(repeat, fade)

(spoken) For the love is too strong to die, we'll live in fear.  From day to day for the other, and the love we share.
