J is the tenth letter in the ISO basic Latin alphabet. Its normal name in English is jay /ˈdʒeɪ/ or jy /ˈdʒaɪ/; when used for the y sound, it may be called yod (/ˈjɒd/ or /ˈjoʊd/).
The letter j originated as a swash character, used for the letter i at the end of Roman numerals when following another i, as in xxiij instead of xxiii for the Roman numeral representing 23. A distinctive usage emerged in Middle High German.Gian Giorgio Trissino (1478–1550) was the first to explicitly distinguish I and J as representing separate sounds, in his Ɛpistola del Trissino de le lettere nuωvamente aggiunte ne la lingua italiana ("Trissino's epistle about the letters recently added in the Italian language") of 1524. Originally, I and J were different shapes for the same letter, both equally representing /i/, /iː/, and /j/; but Romance languages developed new sounds (from former /j/ and /ɡ/) that came to be represented as I and J; therefore, English J, acquired from the French J, has a sound value quite different from /j/ (which represents the sound in the English word "yet").
Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (born October 25, 1984), known by her stage name Katy Perry, is an American singer, songwriter and actress. Perry grew up with gospel music, and during her first year of high school she pursued a music career as Katy Hudson, releasing her first studio album called Katy Hudson which failed to chart. She recorded a solo album later, which was never released. After signing with Capitol Music Group in 2007, her fourth record label in seven years, she adopted the stage name Katy Perry.
She first gained recognition with the release of her first mainstream album, One of the Boys in 2008, which spawned three Billboard Hot 100 top-ten songs—"I Kissed A Girl", "Hot n Cold" and "Waking Up In Vegas". Perry supported the album with her Hello Katy Tour. In 2010, her third studio album, Teenage Dream (2010), which topped the Billboard 200 chart, and spawned five number one singles—"California Gurls", "Teenage Dream", "Firework", "E.T." and "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)"—Teenage Dream was the only album (after Michael Jackson's Bad)—to do so, and the first female in history to achieve this milestone. She embarked on the California Dreams Tour, which grossed nearly $60 million worldwide. Perry re-released the album under the name of Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection on March 26, 2012, and the re-release has already spawned the number-one single "Part of Me".
Dark horse is a term used to describe a little-known person or thing that emerges to prominence, especially in a competition of some sort or a contestant that seems unlikely to succeed.
The term began as horse racing parlance. A dark horse is a race horse that is not known to gamblers and thus is difficult to place betting odds on.
The earliest-known use of the phrase is in Benjamin Disraeli's novel The Young Duke (1831). Disraeli's protagonist, the Duke of St. James, attends a horse race with a surprise finish: "A dark horse which had never been thought of, and which the careless St. James had never even observed in the list, rushed past the grandstand in sweeping triumph."
The term has been used politically in such countries as Peru, Philippines and United States.
Politically, the term reached America in the nineteenth century when it was first applied to James K. Polk, a relatively unknown Tennessee Democrat who won the Democratic Party's 1844 presidential nomination over a host of better-known candidates. Polk won the nomination on the ninth ballot, and went on to win the presidential election.

Plot
Each sitting in a bare interrogation room - Sam, J and Matthew are questioned individually about a possible crime. Rewind five hours to a flash car parked alongside a dimly lit road. The three young men sit in the car - watching the empty road outside. Matthew talks business, J listens and Sam, naive and impressionable, makes a nuisance of himself in the backseat. However, to the passing Special Police Officers, their lack of bad behaviour is what draws the Officer's attention to them. Is it their colour, is it their car or is it their age that entitles the Officer's to pass unfounded judgement onto Sam, J and Matthew? The three young men do indeed have something to hide and when Sam finally cracks under the intense pressure of the Officer's questioning, it is Matthew who finds himself unwilling to rat on his friends and subsequently shouldering the blame. Matthew questions whether the crime fits the punishment and the Officer's question Matthew's self belief in taking the blame.
Three interrogation rooms. Three young men. Three stories.

White the wall white the wall
White the wall plaster never catch on
The white wall plaster never catch on
You always have to do it with a big Long John
White the wall plaster it never catch on
We riding in pink with the walls
And the balls and the fetus
And the pink in the walls
And the bike and the fetus
And the pink in the walls
With the stripes and the pedals
Heard what you said when you said you'd never say it in a letter
You're more informed than me about what happens on tour
But it don't stop, don't stop my little baby says
Don't stop, don't stop, a little later baby
Nobody knows the nose you have for news
Sometimes the only way to win is to lose
But it don't stop, don't stop, my pretty baby says
Don't stop, don't stop, my little lady says
Don't stop, don't stop, my pretty baby says
Don't stop, don't stop, my little lady says

And say don't stop, don't stop, my pretty baby says

Can't sit on my porch and smoke a j,
And remember how peaceful life can be.
But all night long are a bunch of pushers
Sellin' drugs right there on my tv.
Drugs that whether or not I buy
Are gonna end up in my water supply
Along with who knows what else
Who knows when.
Just gotta take a deep breath and drink it in.
Round here if there's one thing people know
It's that government ain't there for you it's all for show.
And I'm tryin' to tell 'em, it don't have to be so!
But I can understand that their confidence is low.
Cuz' round here people so high they can see
Over the tops of the tall pine trees,
Down to the mouth of the Mississippi.
Blood ignited in a blighted sky,
Blood in the water, like we all could die
Blood on the reeds glistening in the sun
Blood on our hands, each and every one.
Here in the calm before the wars,
When the earth shrugs us off like dinosaurs.
Here in the sunset days of yore, the first signs washing ashore.
Goddess come and lift us
Here in deepest Louisiane.
In the gut where hunches come from
A message goes out loud as it can.
And you'd a thought we'd a come more far somehow
Since the changing of the guard and all.
I mean, dude could be FDR right now,
And instead he's just shifting his weight.
And the disappointment is the knockout blow
Filmed in torturous slow-mo.
Oh hope please come where I can see
Don't let the poison get the best of me.
Goddess come and lift us
Here in deepest Louisiane.
In the gut where hunches come from
A message goes out loud as it can.
Truth is for telling
Truth is foretold.
Truth is for those with the guts to behold.
We got vampires down here in Louisiane
We need voodoo dolls, we need talisman.
We need wooden stakes and shards of light
We need harbingers riding through the night.
We need fountain pens, we need whale harpoons
To overthrow the oil tycoons.
Cuz' there's no fish in the water, no birds in the sky,
No life in the soil, no end to the lie,
No time like the present
And it is passing us by...
But it's never to late, never too late to try
Cuz' if we all had to change, we all just would.
And we would move closer, and that would be good.
And we would buy local and we would buy less
And we'd realize that wasn't our happiness.
No that wasn't our happiness (x3)
No that wasn't.
Goddess come and lift us
Here in deepest Lousiane. (x3)
In the gut where hunches come from
I was thinking of things that I hate to do, -sex with your parents
Things you do to me or I do to you, baby, -sex with your parents
Something fatter or uglier than Rush Rambo
Something more disgusting than Robert Dole
Something pink that climbs out of a hole
And there it was - sex with your parents
I was getting so sick of this right wing republican shit
These ugly old man scared of young tit and dick
So I try to think of something that made me sick
And there it was - sex with your parents
Now these old fucks can steal all they want
And they can go and pass laws saying you can't say what you want
And you can't look at this and you can't look at that
And you can't smoke this and you can't snort that
And me baby - I got statistics - I got stats
These people have been to bed with their parents
Now I know you're shocked but hang and have a brew
If you think about it for a minute you know that it's true
They're ashamed and repelled and they don't know what to do
They've had sex with their parents
When they looked into their lovers eyes they saw - mom
In the name of the family values we must ask whose family
In the name of the family values we must ask
Senator
It's has been reported that you have had
Illegal congress with your mother, - sex with your parents
Senator
An illegal congress by proxy is a
Pigeon by any other name, - sex with your parents
Senators you polish a turd
Here in the big city we got a word
For those who would bed their beloved big bird
And make a mockery of our freedoms
Without even using a condom
Without even saying ' no '
By god we have a name for people like that
It's - hey motherfucker
(Verse 1)I see hatred in your face,
the fierce look you wear has killed my confidence
I have made many mistakes,
I carry a heart an open wound my love
But forgiveness is king my friend
and grudge is not a fruit of the spirit
Therefore I come to you as I am,
naked as I am, I found the truth.
(Chorus)As the moon pulls the ocean
so the Earth pulls the moon
In the same way I am what I am
cause your existence defines my being,
As my weakness is my strength
so my tear they find happiness,
In the same way I know that your hate reflects
boundless Love.
(yeah, boundless love oh)
(Verse 2)The world doesn't stop (doesn't stop)
When we command it to
Our righteousness is strong I learn to love you yea
Everything isn't what it seems to be
Now we wanna run we wanna go fast
As my soul was within sin
my feet could stand on solid ground
cause I know
(Chorus)The moon pulls the ocean so the Earth pulls the
moon
In the same way I am what I am
cause your existence defines my being
As my weakness is my strength
so my tears they find happiness
In the same way I know that your hate
reflects boundless Love
(Bridge)I'm getting rid of the jee jinx that you gave
Getting hold of all the things I deserve
I'm letting go of all of the lies that you told
I'm getting rid of all the things that you've said
I'm getting rid of the jee jinx that you gave
I'm getting hold of all the things I deserve
I'm letting go of all the lies that you told
My confession for you to own
Ooo as the Earth now Earth pulls the moon
In the way I that I am, cause your existence defines my
being
As my weakness is my strength
So my tears they find happiness
in the same way I know that your hate reflects
boundless Love
As the moon pulls the ocean (reflects boundless love)
In the same way I am what I am (reflects boundless
love)
As my weakness is my strength
In the same way I know that your hate reflects
I want to fly into deep of your eyes
smelling yeah the fragrance of life
and I want to caress your hair
smiling happy to the sadness of sun
I miss you
you've gone far away from me
but I'm here for you
you left me all alone
only with a dream of you
and I'm waiting
