An awsome band that originated in 1989 and have put out two CD's, Nickel Creek (2000) and This Side (2002). Though originally created as a bluegrass band, their music expands on those influences by incorporating Beatles-flavored psychedelia, left-of-center alt rock, pop, folk and more. The band consists of Chris Thile (Mandolin), Sarah(Fiddle), and Sean Watkins(acoustic gutar). Sean and Chris also have several solo albums.
One day you'll see her and you'll know what I mean.
Take her or leave her she will still be the same.
She'll not try to buy you with her time.
But nothing's the same, as you will see when she's gone.
It's foreign on this side,
And I'll not leave my home again.
There's no place to hide
And I'm nothing but scared.
Nickel Creek, the divine rejuvenation of the bluegrass genre. Chris Thile, Sarah & Sean Watkins stand on the forefront of bluegrass, blending eclectic forms of music to create what they describe as "genre soup".
Orgasmic melodies, enchanted instrumentals, insightful lyrics. It must be NickelCreek
A band that has origins in bluegrass music. Nickel Creek has expanded their sound and strayed from conventional bluegrass music. Their first album(the self titled one) was more of a traditional bluegrass sound. Their second album "This Side" pushed the boundaries of bluegrass music and explored more of the pop genre. Their thrid album, "Why Should The Fire Die" was pretty much acoustic rock. The group consists of Chris Thile-Mandolin, bazouki, lead vocals Sara Watkins-Lead vocals, fiddle, violin and Sean Watkins-Guitar and lead vocals.
Where can a teacher go
Wherever she thinks people need the things she knows.
Hey those books you gave us look good on the shelves at home
And we'll burn one in the fire teacher when in rome.

The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.
The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.
The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

1. Billy hate drafted Chad OchoCinco because he knew Sam had wanted him since he is from Cincinnati. Billy already had plenty of players to fill that position but wanted to make sure Sam didn't get him.
2. Billy hate drafted Peyton Manning because he was the only good quarterback left and he knew Sam had been planning on drafting him.
