“I am thankful for all of those who said NO to me. Its because of them I’m doing it myself
“Its hard to wait around for something you know might never happen; but its harder to give up when you know its everything you want
From the brightest star
Comes the blackest hole
You had so much to offer
Why did you offer your soul?
I was there for you baby
When you needed my help
Would you deny for others
What you demand for yourself?
Cool down mama, cool off
Cool down mama, cool off
You speak of signs and wonders
I need something other
I would believe if I was able
But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table
You were pretty as a picture
It was all there to see
Then your face caught up with your psychology
With a mouth full of teeth
You ate all your friends
And you broke every heart thinking every heart mends
You speak of signs and wonders
But I need something other
I would believe if I was able
But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table
Where you live should not decide
Whether you live or whether you die
Three to a bed
Sister Ann, she said
Dignity passes by
And you speak of signs and wonders
But I need something other
I would believe if I was able
I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table

A Trinidad, Colorado jury has found football helmet maker Riddell responsible for 27% of the monetary damages awarded to a high school football player who suffered severe brain damage and paralysis at a practice. The total award was $11.5 million. Several coaches were found to be negligent, but will not have to pay damages, according to the Denver Post. The lawyer who won the case, Frank Azar, will reportedly seek the full $11.5 million from Riddell, according to Yahoo. Azar has several similar cases against the helmet manufacturer. Azar believes the Trinidad decision, which Riddell will appeal, will set a precedent in future cases. More than 4000 former National Football League players have sued the league and Riddell, claiming the league knew about long-term health risks associated with repeated concussions and head trauma, according to the New York Times.
