Four Chords

In retrospect, maybe I could've finished a song, and made it a hit, if I'd just used these Four Chords:





Oh well, next time.

The Best Laid Plans

I procrastinate. I swear, I may as well get paid for it - its all I do. Which I why this blog was going OK until I set myself a structure to follow. Basically, I shot myself in the foot. I have since realised that the blogs I follow don't actually have a structure, they're more spontaneous with their posting habits, and also tend to be more emotive. Thus, it occurred to me: if those are the types which I like, then naturally that should be the type which I make.


I lay down plans for myself all the time, but I rarely see them through. Especially the better ones. If I know exactly what will happen, and there will definitely be no surprises, then I'm less likely to follow them to the end. Whereas, if anything goes and anything could happen, I'll jump at the opportunity to be there and watch events unfold.


Which is why so much of my work remains unfinished.


Any of those out there who know me personally can vouch for my more musical tendencies, and how sometimes I pour literally all of my time into a project. However, what they don't know is the percentage of those which actually get finished - a number which lies somewhere between 3 and 5%. Those few that are complete usually count towards a grade as well. Apart from those, my compositions usually end at just lyrics, or just a melody, or even just a fully-orchestrated introduction.


If I can't even finish something that lies so close to my heart, is there any hope for other things?


Honestly, probably not. Gosh, uni could be fun!


Anyway, I'm rambling. I've gone so far off on a tangent that I can't even find the circle in my mind again, but I think my point was something like this:
If everyone plans went well, the world wouldn't be where it is today. We wouldn't have the technology we have, we wouldn't have the same general morals we have as a race, and (on a more personal level) we wouldn't each have had the experiences which make us the individuals we are, and deserve to be.


And I definitely wouldn't be about to introduce you to a brilliant tune.


Listen, smile, and let the words which are sung mean something personal to you. That's what music is about: emotion.


I'll be back soon, I promise.

I wish there was another way to tell you of my plans,

If Shakespeare was around today I'd ask him for a hand.

I'm headed out to cross the sea, to find a second home,

I'm hoping that the world stands still while I'm traveling alone.

But in the end I'll come back 'round the world to your front door,

&& never leave again just me and you for ever more.

I hope you understand the reasons why I cannot stay,

&& why my vessel home will only land in early May.

There's something deep inside my heart that says I need to go,

I know that you'll be fine, you are the strongest girl I know.
But in the end I'll come back 'round the world to your front door,
&& never leave again just me and you forever.

I wonder what you'll do when I am sitting in the trees,

I wonder what you'll say when passers by ask if you're pleased.

I know that everytime I see your picture on the wall,

To a sad and lonely state of mind I'll probably fall.

&& by the time I'm home will you still need me like before?

I do confess I'm worried about all these things in store.
But in the end I'll come back 'round the world to your front door,
&& never leave again just me and you for ever more.

Oh, What a Muppet I am Re-Run

Now, its time for saying goodbye.

Oh, What a Muppet I am

If the title doesn't give you enough of a hint, hopefully todays first item will be a good introduction:





ITS MUPPET WEEK!


So, here is my personal favourite of all the things I'm about to show you.

The Muppets Bohemian Rhapsody

Queen adaptations are always fun.

Next up, something I want to bake at some point:

Cookie Monster Cookies

Nom nom nom.

This next one was hard to choose, but I couldn't do a Muppets post without at least ONE video from one of their movies.

The Muppets Treasure Island: Shiver My Timbers

When I thought about it, the choice wasn't really that hard.

&& finally, mixing this weeks theme with a strong passion of mine, music:

Beaker's Ode To Joy

Now, its time for saying goodbye.

WARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS SIGNS Re-Run

Today's post isn't necessarily funny, it just really made me smile, and I hope it has the same effect on you.

Positive Thoughts

This is such a clever idea. It really put a smile on my face too!

Full credit for finding this goes to Joanne Louise Sayle. I really hope she doesn't mind me doing this ..

Oh, && next week's theme is already planned, and I'm really looking forward to it so make sure to come take a peek.

So, this is goodbye.

Little late, again. I'm getting bad at this '8 o'clock-ish' thing. 
ANYWAY:
I honestly don't know how I forgot to include this guy in my original post. This picture literally made me laugh out loud for 10 solid minutes. Love it.

Jesus Guy

How awesome is he!?

So, this is goodbye.

WARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS SIGNS

Ok, so as you can tell this post has a rather .. broad title. Thus, one day, a sequel will appear. For now though, here's some random signs for your enjoyment.

Creative Picketers

These guys are just so clever: I love them.

Here's an old time favourite of mine.

Hours of proctrastination have been provided via:

Bus Slogans

One of my favourite websites, seriously: hours of fun.

&& post links to them as comments for us all to see :)

If this next one could be found near me, I would spend hours repeatedly crossing the road:

High Five Please

Suggested by an awesome fellow geek:

Oddly Specific Signs

Ok, so this is exactly what the name implies.

Loving it.

Here are a few favourites:

&& just the best one ever:

This post is coming to a close now .. and not a moment too soon as this computer I'm using at the moment is TERRIBLE. Its not my own, thus I hate it. Stupid internet won't connect on mine. BAH!

Anyway, here's another website for you to have fun with:

I'll be back on Wenesday, AND ON A DECENT COMPUTER.

Star Wars Re-Run

Firstly, a massive apology - this appears to be a little later than my usual 8 o'clock-ish timing. Surprisingly though, I do actually have a life away from my computer.


Anyways, today I present you with:

'Star Wars (John Williams Is The Man)' Medley

Sent to me by an awesome ginger :) Its pure brilliance.

So yeah, 
May the force be with you, and all that jazz.

Star Wars Follow Up && How We Work

So, decisions have been made!

This is how Live, Laugh, Die is going to work:

• Posts will be made on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays
• Mondays will include up to 5 pictures/videos/anything else funny
• Mondays will also introduce a theme for the week
• You comment or message (or email, if you actually know me .. ) other funny things you've found based on the weeks theme - failing that, I'll go in search of some
• Wednesday and Friday's posts will be of my favourites of the other things I've been sent/found, hopefully based on the theme, but if nothing else decent has been found it will just be something random :)

Now, ON WITH THE FIRST FOLLOW UP .. which automatically goes to a really good friend of mine, as she was the only one to send me anything. However, this is brilliant, and most likely would've won anyway:

The 'Star Wars No'

Click it and be happy :)

May the force still be with you

Star Wars

Many failed blog attempts later, AEW finally has a semi-decent idea .. just things that make me laugh.

This is just a starter - I thought I'd delve straight into nerdy laughter, and begin with a Star Wars theme! (Plus, May the Fourth was last week, so this seemed mildly appropriate.

First up: 

Star Wars: Retold (by someone who hasn't seen it)

I cannot explain just how much I love this one. Just, watch:

Star Wars: Retold (by someone who hasn't seen it) from Joe Nicolosi on Vimeo.

Next,

Possibly the unhappiest-looking cat EVER. 

Except maybe for that one with the lime on its head ... but lets save that gem for another day.

Ok, this next one I've only found recently:

Star Wars Gangsta Rap

 It is so funny I just can't get it out of my head.

Now:

What Stormtroopers do on their Day Off

Just a couple of my faves from http://tinyurl.com/wsdotdo

&& my favourite one EVER:

Seriously, how cute is WALL-E!? I actually adore him :)

So, my final Star Wars post of the day was recommended by one of my best friends, and she was so right, this kid is just adorable:

Star Wars According to a 3 Year Old

&& with that I bid you adieu, more funny stuff to come in the future - I promise.

May the force be with you.
