It Happened Today…
i was just sitting around thinking how big of a day the 4th of July is and it made me wonder about today. was there anything special about today that has been overlooked because we’re still thinking about two days ago? so i took it upon myself to do a little research about good ole July 6th and this is what i came up with:
- 1189-Richard the 1st (Richard the Lionheart) is crowned King of England
- 1560-The Treaty of Edinburgh is signed by Scotland and England
- 1609-Bohemia is granted freedom of religion
- 1785-The dollar is unanimously chosen as the monetary unit for the United States
- 1939-Holocaust: the last remaining Jewish enterprises in Germany are closed
- 1947-The AK-47 goes into production in the Soviet Union
- 1957-John Lennon and Paul McCartney first meet at St. Peter’s Church garden fete in Liverpool, England
- 2006-The Nathula Pass betweem India and China, sealed during the Sino-Indian War, re-opens for trade after 44 years
so there you have it. a few good ones but mostly stuff nobody’s heard of.
3G…
yes it’s true. i have upgraded my phone. i now have the capability to blog, pay bills, twitter, check emails, listen to music, watch videos, keep in touch with anyone and much more through my new iPhone. now before you jump and shout….it’s not the NEW new one. the “old” ones are now only $99. i jumped on that like the guy at the arcade playing Dance Dance Revolution for hours at a time. anyway, i haven’t blogged in a long time so i figured i should blog about this…
Swim…
You gotta swim
Swim for your life
Swim for the music that saves you
When you’re not so sure you’ll survive
You gotta swim
And swim when it hurts
The whole world is watching
You haven’t come this far to fall off the earth
The currents will pull you
Away from your love
Just keep your head above
I found a tidal wave begging to tear down the dawn
Memories like bullets they fired at me from a gun
A crack in the armor
I swim for brighter days
Despite the absense of sun
Choking on salt water
I’m not giving in
I swim
You’ve gotta swim
Through nights that wont end
Swim for your families
Your lovers
Your sisters and brothers
And friends
You’ve gotta swim
Through wars without cause
Swim for the lost politicians
Who don’t see their greed as a flaw
The currents will pull us
Away from our love
Just keep your head above
I found a tidal wave begging to tear down the dawn
Memories like bullets they fired at me from a gun
A crack in the armor
I swim for brighter days
Despite of the absense of sun
Choking on salt water
I’m not giving in
I’m not giving in
I swim
You gotta swim
Swim in the dark
There’s no shame in drifting
Feel the tide shifting
And wait for the spark
You’ve gotta swim
Don’t let yourself sink
Just find the horizon
I promise you it’s not as far as you think
The currents will drag us
Away from our love
Just keep your head above
Just keep your head above
Swim
Just keep your head above
Swim, swim
Just keep your head above
Swim
