Give Me Your Eyes

Sun, 27 Sep 2009 15:24:57 -0700

:: Brandon Heath: Give Me Your Eyes ::

Looked down from a broken sky
Traced out by the city lights
My world from a mile high
Best seat in the house tonight
Touched down on the cold black top
Hold on for the sudden stop
Breath in the familiar shock
Of confusion and chaos
All those people going somewhere,
Why have I never cared?

Chorus:
Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
Ones that are far beyond my reach.
Give me your heart for the ones forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see
Yeah
Yeah

Step out on a busy street
See a girl and our eyes meet
Does her best to smile at me
To hide what's underneath
There's a man just to her right
Black suit and a bright red tie
Too ashamed to tell his wife
He's out of work
He's buying time
All those people going somewhere
Why have I never cared?

Chorus

I've Been there a million times
A couple of million eyes
Just moving past me by
I swear I never thought that I was wrong
Well I want a second glance
So give me a second chance
To see the way you see the people all along

Chorus (x2)

My first impressions of Net10 Wireless cell phone service isn't good ( http://www.net10.com/ ). I'd just bought 2 phones, and had activated them, because we needed to keep in touch in case of emergencies. Meanwhile, we were trying to port our Verizon cell numbers over to the newly activated Net10 phones. First, Net10 customer service tells us we need new SIM cards, which they'll mail to us in 3-5 days, on the 5th day, after not getting the SIM cards, I sent an e-mail asking where they were. They replied: the shipment was canceled, and the porting of the numbers has been finished, I only needed to activate them online. I tried the website, and was unable to. I then called their number to speak to someone to get it taken care of, he had me enter a lot of codes, and supposedly everything had went through. I hung up, only to discover that I could make calls out on one phone, but not receive calls on it. The other phone could do neither. I called Net10 back, and the customer service person had me enter more codes, to no avail. He told me to wait 2 hours, and try the phones, and if they didn't work, to call back again. Well, they didn't work, so I called back, and this representative had me enter lots of codes, and then she decides I need SIM cards after all. Which will take 3-5, or even 7-10 days. Now, we have no cell phone service at all. I have also used up minutes trying to activate the phones.
I had asked the customer service rep to give me an alternate number to call, so I could have this matter escalated to management level. She didn't provide me with that info., I have also sent an e-mail to Net10 customer service, and no replies so far.
I must also point out that I am hard of hearing, and I had a hard time understanding the representatives because of their accents, and the phone connection was extremely poor, I strained to hear everything they said, and could barely make out what they were saying.
With a special needs child, and also several family members with serious health problems, and disabilities, we needed to be in touch whenever we needed to.
I am hoping that Net10 will get this straightened out soon, but am doubtful.

Has anybody ever run across a directory for "dial-up friendly" websites? This would be ideal for those of us connecting to the net at 38kbps. Thanks.

NetZero dial-up rocks! You can do so many things while waiting for a web page to load, such as: take a nap, read a book, or watch a movie!

We will be going back to dial-up internet service. We were using my cell phone's service ( Alltel aka Verizon ) to connect to the internet via USB cable, using the phone as a modem. They were charging a flat fee for the data service ( side note: ever since Verizon took over, the connection speed dropped dramatically ). Anyway, we can no longer afford the cell phone service period ( going to be using a pre-paid cell phone ). There is no cable service, or DSL in my area, and we can't afford satellite internet service.
What I am asking of my friends, please hold off sending videos to watch, and music to listen to. Although I greatly appreciate you thinking of me, there will be no possible way for me to watch them on a dial-up connection. The links could be sent via PM, or e-mail, and I could try to watch them when I have access to a hi-speed connection.
I might add that it seems like any Web 2.0 web site is not dial-up friendly either.
Side note on cell phones and service: I wish Google Voice would come out with their own cell phones ( using Android ), and cell phone service. This would be a great "poor man's" cell phone. I would guess that this might happen in the future, but not anytime soon. Thanks. Take care, Jamie
