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.
