Imagine that you have a time machine. Which deceased musician would you most want to travel back in time to watch perform live? Submitted By |
I can't even begin to answer this. There's so many I'd like to see (and take lessons from!) If would be very cool to see any of the Troubadours--probably the only way to figure out how they REALLY performed. Vivaldi, Rameau, Beethoven, Lizst, Bach, of course. Bessie Smith, Robert Johnson, WC Handy, Edith Piaf, Enrique Caruso, Jenny Lind. There's a lot more, but this is just off the top of my head, and not even going into more recent musicians/groups whom I did get to see live.
On another subject, I hate telemarketers that call at 8 am on a Sat.

I GOT 100%!!!!
To celebrate, since all we're doing tomorrow is getting our tests back and going over them, I'm going to skip class and sleep in.
I need an icon for school triumphs.
Edit: Thank you all. I think the last time I got 100% on a math test was in the second grade, so this is really cool. Oh, and so far I have an A in the class.

You are Strength
Courage, strength, fortitude. Power not arrested in the act of judgement, but passing on to further action, sometimes obstinacy.
This is a card of courage and energy. It represents both the Lion's hot, roaring energy, and the Maiden's steadfast will. The innocent Maiden is unafraid, undaunted, and indomitable. In some cards she opens the lion's mouth, in others she shuts it. Either way, she proves that inner strength is more powerful than raw physical strength. That forces can be controlled and used to score a victory is very close to the message of the Chariot, which might be why, in some decks, it is Justice that is card 8 instead of Strength. With strength you can control not only the situation, but yourself. It is a card about anger and impulse management, about creative answers, leadership and maintaining one's personal honor. It can also stand for a steadfast friend.

Saturday night, during TRM's roving court, I was inducted into the Order of the Carp, An Tir's award for persona development. I'm still stunned. Oh, and the rest of the event was pretty good, too. One of my cadet brothers was made a White Scarf, and another of my rapier buddies was made a Laurel and I got to speak for him.

He was by no means a saint, but then, this country has never needed saints, but human men and women, flawed and imperfect, but with the belief that they could and had the duty to make a difference.

| Your Soul Is Connected to the Fall |
 You have the heart of a poet, but you're not too eager to let anyone else see it. You are very creative and deeply talented. You are still looking for the perfect outlet for your expression. You embrace change and think the cycles of life are beautiful. You don't shrink away from the darker elements of life. |

parlor_games Our Flag
I remember it well
That very first time
At a game with my Dad
I was eight, maybe nine
We all rose to our feet
Before the ballgame could start
We took off our caps
And put our hands to our hearts
First (false) Chorus
It was more than a banner
It was more than a song
I sang because I believed
I sang because I belonged
I sang for all those who dreamed
For all those who dared
Who looked to the heights
And our flag was still there
I see it passing on cars
I see it passing for war
I see it passing for patriotism
We've all seen it before
I’ve seen it used as a weapon
To brand some as wrong
No one has the right, I’ll stand up and fight
To say I belong
Chorus
And our flag is still there
For the saints and the sinners
Yes, our flag is still there
For all the losers and winners
For those who still dream
For those who still dare
For the scorned and forgotten
Our flag is still there
Lawrence & Lexington
Concord & Kent
Seattle & Selma
We are born of dissent
And on this native ground
Blessed by immigrant blood
In that river of freedom
We’re all washed in the flood Chorus
Bridge
It’s still there
Though we might disagree
If you are brave
In the land of the free
We have weathered so much
We have traveled so far
We are woven together
We are spangled with stars
So as we take off our caps
And as we all rise
Put our hands to our hearts
As we lift up our eyes
We begin with one question
We ask, “Oh, say, can you see?”
Stand and be strong, believe and belong
Be brave and be free Chorus

I'm puzzling out the shirt in the picture and I'm wondering what sort of collar it has. It looks almost like a decorated/embroidered collar band, except for the small ruffled edge at the top of the embroidery. I'd like some other opinions before I start cutting.

So how did we survive? Judicious use of fans and water. Oh, and not doing anything outdoors during the hot part of the day unless it involved being in water. If there wasn't a pool to get into then the sprinkler or the local lake works.
Oh, and think of my sweetie.....he's working wearing three layers of a uniform made of polyester, and for the most part either standing on a gangway or an unairconditioned guard shack. And of course, this week he's been working days.
