Wake Me Up When August Ends

Hey I've all of a sudden decided to make the most of my summer. I will not be hanging around this computer not much more. School starts at the end of August... so wake me up when it ends!!!

Summer on Flickr



"The summer wind came blowing in
from across the sea.
It lingered there to touch your hair
and walk with me.
All summer long we sang a song
and then we strolled that golden sand.
Two sweethearts and the summer wind.

Like painted kites, those days and nights,
they went flying by.
The world was new beneath the blue umbrella sky.
Then softer than, a piper man
one day it called to you.
And I lost you, to the summer wind.

The autumn wind
and the winter wind have come and gone.
And still the days, those lonely days
go on and on.
And guess who sighs his lullabies
through nights that never end..
My fickle friend, the summer wind."

Frank Sinatra's "Summer Wind"

VT On the 'Net Effect

As I've been looking at pages and surfing throughout the Internet, mainly Flickr, YouTube, and other sites, I can see how this Virginia Tech tragedy has affected all of us. Seeing the crystal clear pictures on Flickr of the convocation and memorial events at VT. I saw this photo of what looks like a stereotypical local news reporter at the scene as well as another of Dan Rather on the spot. I remember seeing a photo of a reporter from Asian network TV Asahi just arriving at the scene of new developments yesterday; it looked rather odd seeing the reporter running to the scene and I laughed. I saw another photo of the convocation and a newspaper in the forefront. Yet one more deep photo of photographers and students gathered around the large VT letters and memorial. And finally was a photo of the American, Virginian, and VTech flags at half staff in Blacksburg.
This tragedy affected us all and touched us all, and we have got to respect that.
Not only that, but a phrase we hear now "We're all Hokies now." Now because of this tragedy it has brought the world together in such a way.

Sunday Night, Monday Morning

Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life...!
Monday's are really busy, tense, and maybe even stressful. These feelings are captured in "Monday, Monday" by The Mamas & The Papas here (great song; made me feel better):



Have a great Monday...

Oh goodness

What am I doing up right now? I don't know. In about an hour, it'll be TGIF. Sean can't seem to wait for his spring break and the rest of us are thinking only one more day until the weekend. Here we are waiting for a brief end to work and labor where we can catch or recuperate until a Monday in the near future. There's a song that goes "Monday, Monday..." but there's also TGIF.
