Bob Marley - Misty morning!!!!

This is a part of a Bob Marley song that I like very much!!!!

It´s called Misty Morning.........

Misty mornin', don't see no sun;

I know you're out there somewhere having fun.

There is one mystery 

I just can't express: To give your more, to receive your less.

One of my good friend said, in a reggae rhythm,

"Don't jump in the water, if you can't swim."

The power of philosophy floats through my head

Light like a feather, heavy as lead;

See no sun! Oh.

Time has come, I want you -

I want you to straighten out my tomorrow!

Movie recommendation

The film is based on a true story involving a top columnist at the LA Times, Steve Lopez, played with grace by Robert Downey Jr., who becomes invested in one of his more colourful subjects, Nathaniel Ayers, an accomplished musician overcome by mental illness, now living on the streets of LA portrayed by Jamie Foxx, who rambles his way to a convincing performance.

THIS MOVIE IS OUTSTANDING.....TWO THUMBS UP!!!!

the thumb up means a positive opinion of a film; the thumb down means a negative one. The trademarked phrase “two thumbs up”, originally means a positive review from both reviewers, has come to be used as an indication of very high quality or unanimity of praise.

SLANGS

Definition:

A social outcast or misfit; a strange person

Example:

1) Stephan has no friends and spends all his time in the basement. What a freak !

2) The protest rally was filled with hippies and freaks.

Etymology: In the 1700s, 'freaked' meant 'covered with spots or colors'. By 1900, 'freak' meant 'irregular' or 'not normal', perhaps in reference to spots of color as imperfections in a manufacturing process. Today, 'freak' has a surprising number of meanings, all coming from the sense of 'irregular', including: an hippie, a drug addict, crazy behavior ( as in 'He freaked when I told him I wrecked his car'), a sexually promiscuous person, an unusually beautiful woman.

Synonyms: weirdo

VIVA LA VIDA - Coldplay

VIVA LA VIDA - Coldplay Vagalume


I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listened as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead long live the king
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
Missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

It was a wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know St Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know St Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

Funny moments!

The name of this game is pass-out...about pass things out to somebody else I guess. But this cat had a different understanding...
