the temptations 

One of the most legendary singing groups of all time. Became famous in the 1960's as part of the Motown Record machine. Signed by Barry Gordy, Otis Williams, Paul Williams(no relation to Otis) Eddie Kendricks, Melvin Franklin and Elbridge "Al" Bryant were the original Temptations. Struggling to get a hit off their first records, it wasn't until Bryant was kicked out of the group and solo artist David Ruffin joined the group that The Temptations became known by the songs like My Girl and Ain't Too Proud To Beg. Ruffin left/was kicked out in the late 60's and replaced by Dennis Edwards. The Temptations still were recording hits, and went on to record Grammy-winning records. Eddie Kendricks was not satisfied with the "psychedelic funk" the group was shifting towards, as he felt it wasn't keeping true to what made the Temps who they were. The last song Kendricks recorded with the group was the classic Just My Imagination. The last great song that the group recorded period was Papa was a Rolling Stone, which was one of Edwards' last songs with the group, and featured Otis Williams and Melvin Franklin along with Richard Street( a singer from the early days pre-Ruffin, P. Williams and Kendricks who replaced Paul Williams) and new falsetto Damon Harris replacing Eddie Kendricks. After Papa, the group recorded a few good songs, did a reunion tour, suffered hard deaths, and have not lived up to the fame of their 60's hayday.

textationship 

a friendly, romantic, sexual or intimate relationship, either brief or long-term, between two people whereby text messaging is utilized as the primary form of communication throughout, oftentimes due to one person's unwillingness and inability to express their feelings, unless at an impersonal level where senses, details and answers to questions and/or subject matter are intentionally avoided at the expense of disregarding and neglecting the need for sharing, giving, conveying a complete, forthright and respectful reply by other means of technology or face-to-face discussion.

My best friend ended the textationship with his girlfriend because of the many hours he was expected to spend engaging in arguments and discussion through text each day.

The Last Temptation of Christ 

The ingenious work of Greek author Nikos Kazantzakis who also wrote "Zorba the Greek". Even though "The Last Temptation of Christ" has been regarded as heretical and blasphemous, and it had even been included in the Vatican's Index of forbidden books, it carries a profound message that will touch all open-minded people. It was written with the deepest love and utmost respect for Jesus Christ and as the author himself has said, he was weeping so profusely while writing it, that his tears drenched the page so that he would have to stop and wait for the paper to dry in order to continue. The main premise of N.Kazantzakis is that Jesus had been tempted by all human temptations and had conqured them all; he was tempted by the devil to eat and drink while fasting but stood strong. However, food and water are only a mere fragment of earthly temptations. One of the strongest human desires is to be able to live comfortably and without pain or deprivation, to raise a nice family, to have your cellar full of wheat and oil and to die peacefully in your bed at a very old age. That was the last temptation of Christ (and not copulating with Mary Magdalene as many claim to be the hign point of the book thus undervaluing this spiritual masterpiece). This last temptation came to him in a vision by the devil disguised as an angel while Jesus was on the cross. For one split second he experienced a whole lifetime of what could have been if he weren't the Messiah, if the burden of saving the world were not on his shoulders. That life was sweet and comfortable, with wives, children and plentiful possessions, and above all, with no excruciating pain from iron nails in his arms and feet. Anyone could have easily succumbed to that temptation but not Kazantzakis's Christ: He fought the last temptation and implored to go back to the cross and die there for humanity, acknowledging that this was where he truly belonged. Kazantzakis's Christ was the Messiah and the world was saved.

It was successfully adapted into film by Martin Scorsese with Willem Dafoe as Jesus.

The title of the movie "The Last Temptation" fleetingly appears in the movie "Donnie Darko" when Donnie is seen coming out of a movie theater.

In the beginning I thought it blasphemous to pick up a copy of the Last Temptation of Christ but as I read on I couldn't keep back my tears.

templationship 

A composition of the words "temporary" and "relationship". It is when two, or more parties agrees that a relationship should only be temporary.

As opposed to most people, who are serial monogamists, people who agree to a templationship are aware about their situation.

It is ideal when you know you're not suited or compatible for long term, but you have intense chemistry and enjoy spending time with each other. Templationships are mostly exclusive in nature, but can also not be. It is defined by the people agreeing to it.

Jane: Have you heard? Sarah and Josh are finally dating!
Laura: Yeah, but Josh wants kids down the line, and Sarah has other plans. I am pretty sure they agreed to a templationship!
