Sorry I didn’t post anything this week! I had a few drafts but just never finished them.
It’s been an eventful week for me. I had three of my finals Monday and Tuesday, came home and shopped Wednesday (not my favorite thing to do), and went to my highschool’s homecoming Thursday. Anyways, enough of that boring stuff, on to the fun!
•I might get to see the second part of the Hobbit (Desolation of Smaug) over break!
•Truer words were never spoken…
•
•Seriously!
•I wonder how many problems they had before they put this sign in
So when I got my first trick/off-road bike, this is what I envisioned myself doing with it. Needless to say, I was not coordinated in the slightest 😀 Anyways, these guys are amazing!! Especially considering the fact they walked away with all body parts intact
So it snowed here yesterday and it wasn’t that big of a deal but I did slip on the ice in the street on my way to class -_- Anyways, aren’t these gorgeous!?!
^(I thought this one in particular was pretty nifty)
All these pictures were taken by Alexey Kljatov, a Moscow-based photographer who takes a special interest in shooting snowflakes.
•Ah, that explains why the doctors have been increasing my list of meds…
•Seriously though, I am having some medical issues and will be having surgery this time next week, so here’s my apology for not having a Friday Fun post next week: Sorry! 😥
•So this popped up on my computer the other day, glad I’ve got all my date backed up!
Okay, okay, I’m a day late. At least I’m doing it this week!
…Super Saturdays! …yay…
•Best BandAid ever!!!
•Wow, that’s a big picture… Moving on!
•I can’t escape it! It’s coming for me!
•”Yeah, I’m skating. Problem? No? Okay…”
•Seriously?! Get yourself a job! Support the economy! Read a book! No, WRITE a book! Just not about strawberries…
•Which is better…
•…Hello Kitty?…
•… or Grumpy Cat?
•So the other day I was playing Twister and I had to take a minute to figure which one was my right hand. I was informed by a Kindergartner that I “needed to get that figured out soon” and her Third-grade sister, trying to encourage me, said, “That’s okay, I’m going into fourth grade and sometimes I have those problems too.” Well girls, we aren’t the only ones!
Well, I hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me for not keeping this thing up to date. You see, I’ve been working or visiting colleges nearly everyday and I don’t have much time for fun on the computer, so I haven’t been on the lookout for cool stuffs. If you have any suggestions on cool stuff I can put on the blog, don’t hesitate to comment below, email me, or tweet me!
Well, this post took WAY longer than I planned. It’s combined “Tuesday Tunes” and “Friday Fun!” this week, folks!
This is a pretty well-known song, or is it?
Classic:
Misheard lyrics (WARNING! some questionable picture, though animated):
Elementary kids write what they think it means*:
“Thunder strikes, lightening striks, rain is falling, you are sleeping.” – Cooper
“War is going on,
I feel like I will die soon,
War is sad and devastating,
Lord, help these people fighting.” – Alyssa
“Once I see the men fight.
It was very close to midnight.
The world was coming to an end.
But then the light came.
The darkness flew
And the battle was flew.” – Clark
“Poeple singing really loud it sounds creepy it goes from loud to soft it is getting louder it is really loud it sounds like there singing it it going to supprise me I hear symbols it is creeping me out i can not hear what there singing I hear the bass drum” – Jack
“Once upon a time there lived goldylocks in forest jail because she trespassed into the bears home 😦 but she’ll be let out someday.” – Logan
“DEATH
We are marching to our death. The enemy has the dragons they stole from us. They also have orcs. Our eagles are no match for the dragons. They are shooting torched arrows at us. I saw friends getting eaten by drags and burning from the arroes. The orcs are marching towards us we are getting ready to die. Ahh the dragon ate my arms.” – Anna
And the actually meaning:
O Fortuna O Fortune,
velut luna like the moon
statu variabilis, you are changeable,
semper crescis always increasing
aut decrescis; or decreasing;
vita detestabilis hateful life
nunc obdurat first oppresses
et tunc curat and then soothes
ludo mentis aciem, as game takes it;
egestatem, poverty
potestatem and power
dissolvit ut glaciem. it melts them like ice.
Sors immanis Fate – monstrous
et inanis, and empty,
rota tu volubilis, you whirling wheel,
status malus, you are malevolent,
vana salus well-being is vain
semper dissolubilis, and always fades to nothing,
obumbrata shadowed
et velata and veiled
michi quoque niteris; you plague me too;
nunc per ludum now through the game
dorsum nudum I bring my bare back
fero tui sceleris. to your villainy.
Sors salutis In health
et virtutis and virtue,
michi nunc contraria, fate is against me.
est affectus driven on
et defectus and weighted down,
semper in angaria. always enslaved.
Hac in hora So at this hour
sine mora without delay
corde pulsum tangite; pluck the vibrating strings;
quod per sortem since Fate
sternit fortem, strikes down the strong man,
mecum omnes plangite! everyone weep with me!
Bonus!! PianoGuys version:

*These are taken from several Elementary classes at our school. Obviously, this was not my idea. The Elementary music teacher often plays a classical piece and has the children listen and draw pictures or write stories. It is not my intent to take away credit from her in any way (especially since she’s pretty awesome!).
