What a Wonderful World!!

Hiya all,

Look what I found. Wonderful, isn't it?



Lyrics
I see trees of green, 
red roses too. 
I see them bloom, 
for me and you. 
And I think to myself,
what a wonderful world. 

I see skies of blue, 
And clouds of white. 
The bright blessed day, 
The dark sacred night. 
And I think to myself, 
What a wonderful world. 

The colors of the rainbow, 
So pretty in the sky. 
Are also on the faces, 
Of people going by, 
I see friends shaking hands. 
Saying, "How do you do?" 
They're really saying, 
"I love you". 

I hear babies cry, 
I watch them grow, 
They'll learn much more, 
Than I'll ever know. 
And I think to myself, 
What a wonderful world. 

Yes, I think to myself, 
What a wonderful world. 

Oh yeah.

Thanksgiving


Did you know…
Thanksgiving is always celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November?
             In Canada, Thanksgiving is in October?
The turkey, the cornucopia, the corn or the pumpkin are the symbols of this celebration?
People give thnks for everything good in their lives?
Every year the President of the united States pardons the lives of two turkeys, one of which is named the National Thanksgiving turkey?
Every year there’s a spectacular parade in many American cities like New York or Chicago?



And.... a great song for the day!!!

NORMAN FOSTER






Norman Robert Foster, British architect whose company maintains an international design practice, Foster + Partners. Foster was raised in Manchester in a working-class family and was intrigued by design and engineering from a young age. His years observing Mancunian architecture subsequently influenced his works, and was inspired to pursue a career in architecture after a treasurer clerk noticed his sketches and interest in Manchester's buildings while he worked at Manchester Town Hall.[1] Foster gained an internship at a local architect's office before submitting a portfolio and winning a place at the University of Manchester School of Architecture. He subsequently won a scholarship to study at the Yale School of Architecture in the United States of America.

NA - Logical Song, Supertramp

Hiya, A good bunch of adjectives to use (or not to use). It's up to you!!




When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle, it was beautiful, magical 
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily, joyfully, playfully, watching me 
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible, logical, responsible, practical 
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, clinical, intellectual, cynical 
There are times when all the world's asleep 
The questions run too deep for such a simple man 
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned 
I know it sounds absurd but please tell me who I am 
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/s/supertramp/the+logical+song_20133850.html ] 
I said now, watch what you say, now we're calling you a radical, a liberal, fanatical, criminal 
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable 

But at night, when all the world's asleep 
The questions run so deep for such a simple man 
Won't you please (Won't you tell me), (You can tell me what) please tell me what we've learned (Can you hear me?) 
I know it sounds absurd, (Won't you help me) please tell me who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am 

But I'm thinking so logical 

Did you call, one two three four 

It's getting unbelievable
