John Lennon's 'Imagine' is a well loved song. Which is strange when you really think about it. In this song, Lennon paints a very clear picture of a communist world. 'Imagine there's no heaven... Imagine there's no countries... And no religion too...Imagine no possessions...Imagine all the people/ Sharing all the world' (1)

It's a wonder that this song is so well loved, as it was released right in the midst of the Cold War(2). Perhaps it's…

I am doing a very bad job at this 30 day challenge. Sorry for my short hiatus, but I have had very little time to even get online the past couple of days, but now my schedule should start evening out with school approaching. I haven't looked at any new images so I am still on page 1800. So I am just going to restart with today being day 24 and finish it. Then start working on a weekly or biweekly blog about nothing to quote the great show Seinfeld. 

 

I really can't do this…

As someone from England I am have been asked alot if London is safe and why the riots started?

Well firstly I think it is important that we understand the geography of the situation. London is a huge city, the main area is called central london, this is where Buckingham Palace and every other atraction in London, the riots happened in suburbs of central London, mainly The East end and other regions, so for tourists London is safe. Unless you want to visit small terraces I think you…

I don't really go on Tumblr, but that doesn't mean that there aren't some that I like. I only really go to 5 tumblrs if I go on tumblr. They are fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com, edwardspoonhands.tumblr.com, effyeahnerdfighters.com, italktosnakes.tumblr.com, and facebooknotes.tumblr.com.

 

The first for those that don' know is John's. It is really cool seeing all of the different covers people are coming up with for The Fault in Our Stars. Plus I just like stalking John on…

Terry Gilliam has seemingly led two lives. His first as part of the legendary comedy troupe Monty Python and his second as the imaginative but sometimes dark film director. The Imaginarium of Doctor

Parnassus is yet another mind bending experience from the same man

that brought us Brazil and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

With that in mind, we should be well aware of the lengths Mr. Gilliam

will go to mystify an audience.

Imaginarium…

Okay this is for The Black Knight



Sorry for confusing you so throughly during the chat but here is the explaination that anyone that is wondering about how I speak might want to understand first.



1 thing you need to understand is that I am an Army brat, in other words I've moved about 17 times in my living years. During that time I lived out of the country twice. Sense I don't want to go to much into details I will try to be exact on somethings while vague on others. First… Continue

Ah....hello.

This is my first blog post.....ever. So I'm a little bit at a loss.



Ahem.



I suppose I'll start with my name. Since that's what people do first when they're introducing themselves. Or so I'm told.



My name is Laura (pronounced Lo - RAH) Karie (pronounced Carrie. Not Karry.) Blackham (pronounced the awesomely British way, which is Black-um. Not Black Ham. We are not the Clan of Burnt Pork.)



Next, I suppose I should… Continue

If you were in the Meebo NF H.Q. the other day, you would've seen us calculating the ratio of English to Americans. I think the ratio ended up being E 4:3 A or something.



So what are the differences between the U.K. and U.S.?



I created a list because I have too much time on my hands and because I'm tired of racing Dampe:



1. Education system ("Years" and "Grades" And "Sophomore"? What the heck is that?)

2. The land (obviously)

3. Certain words ("Bangs"… Continue

Hey you.

I'm not sure if anybody will ever read this, and I suspect this will end up being the place I come to rant about things that I can't anywhere else. So if you read a blog, and it's angry, or something equally unpleasant, I am sorry.



With that disclaimer over, I can get right on with blogging.

I'll start with my life at present.



I am a student at the International Travel College of NZ [yeah, that's right, KIWI PRIDE], and I'm loving it. The people there… Continue
