0164: INTERSPECIES FRIENDSHIPS

Animals of different species can be friends. Humans too, surely can all be friends - at least we have the advantage of being the same species! Animals being kind to other animals puts a smile on your face and a warmth in your heart.

0163: LOOKING THROUGH PHOTO ALBUMS

On the weekend, I went to a funeral of someone very close to me. When we back to our friends' house, we looked through dozens of photo albums. I saw all of my family and friends past and present in black and white or seventies film filter. It was just beautiful.

0162: BUTTER

Is there anything better than butter?
Think it over.
Every time you taste something that's delicious beyond imagining, and you say, "What is in this?" the answer is always going to be "butter." It's incredible. It's been whisked into submission, that's why. The day there's a meteorite heading toward the earth and we have 30 days to live, I am going to spend it eating butter. Here's my final word on the subject. You can never have too much butter.
Julie Powell, Julie&Julia

 

MMMmmmmmmm. the smell of frying butter. Just like in my grandma's kitchen.

0161: THE BEATLES

Paul, John, George and Ringo.

Wikipedia says:

The Beatles have had more number-one albums on the British charts and sold more singles in the UK than any other act. According to the RIAA, they are the best-selling band in the United States, with 177 million certified units. In 2008, the group topped Billboard magazine's list of the all-time most successful "Hot 100" artists. As of 2013, they hold the record for most number-one hits on the Hot 100 chart with 20. They have received 7 Grammy Awards, an Academy Award for Best Original Song Score and 15 Ivor Novello Awards. Collectively included in Time magazine's compilation of the 20th century's 100 most influential people, the Beatles are the best-selling band in history, with EMI Records estimating sales of over one billion units. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked The Beatles as the best artist of all-time.


They are immortal. And I can't think of any normal person who doesn't like and know one of their songs. Well done boys. 

Probably the greatest rock and roll band in existence. No doubt about it. They taught us everything, from how to twist and shout, to what love is really all about. Listen to their music if you need a little pick-me-up!

0160: EPIC RAP BATTLES

 



Oh my dear lord!! I could choose just one so I've posted four - they are that good. If we get past the swearing, these are so funny, but particularly clever. Anyone can rap about seeing a girl in a club and wanting to take her home to your cribs and condos with your king sized mattress where you can lay, or about how angry you are, but making argumentative raps - now that is truly a skill. So choc full of information, debate and hilarity. If you can deal with the language (they are not all offensive) they are the best mood lifter!! Soooooooooooo good.

 

P.S who do you think won in each one??

0159: REALLY GREAT EMAILS

Those really cute emails about animals, amazing pictures, funny little stories, tear jerking inspiration, or forward to x people or you no-one will ever love you/you will die/something possessed will appear and tear out your lungs and eat your appendix. Gotta love 'em.

0158: KNOWING ALL ALONG

So basically being a good friend. Fo shiz though, I can be so blind sometimes, but every once in a while, I know something. I don't often pick up on the way people feel, or what they "really mean" but when I really care about someone, I know things about them that they don't even know.

So to those people out there who I love, I know, and have known all along. I'm here for you. And always will be. You know who you are.
