Ronan

Taylor Swift is really good at telling stories. Ronan isn't the only one out there who deserves a song. <3 p="p">





I remember your bare feet down the hallway

I remember your little laugh
Race cars on the kitchen floor, plastic dinosaurs
I love you to the moon and back

I remember your blue eyes looking into mine
Like we had our own secret club
I remember you dancing before bed time
Then jumping on me, waking me up

I can still feel you hold my hand, little man
And even the moment I knew
You fought it hard like an army guy
Remember I leaned in and whispered to you

Come on baby with me we're gonna fly away from here
You were my best four years

I remember the drive home
When the blind hope turned to crying and screaming "Why?"
Flowers pile up in the worst way, no one knows what to say
About a beautiful boy who died

And it's about to be halloween
You could be anything you wanted if you were still here
I remember the last day when I kissed your face
I whispered in your ear

Come on baby with me we're gonna fly away from here
Out of this curtain room and this hospital grey, we'll just disappear
Come on baby with me we're gonna fly away from here
You were my best four years

What if I'm standing in your closet trying to talk to you?
What if I kept the hand-me-downs you won't grow into?
And what if I really thought some miracle would see us through?
What if the miracle was even getting one moment with you?

Come on baby with me we're gonna fly away from here
Come on baby with me we're gonna fly away from here
You were my best four years

I remember your bare feet down the hallway
I love you to the moon and back

Wrong Or Lie?

Let's say you made the mistake of saying, "a banana is pink", but then realised that a banana is in fact yellow. You'll say, "oops, sorry. I was wrong" to the person you said otherwise to.

But if you think about it carefully, you lied about the banana being pink. And lying is a sin. Of course, you didn't do it intentionally, but is it still telling a lie now?

According to dictionary.com,
A lie is defined as 

1. a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth; a falsehood.

2. something intended or serving to convey a false impression; imposture

3. an inaccurate or false statement.

4. the charge or accusation of lying: He flung the lie back at his accusers.

5. to speak falsely or utter untruth knowingly, as with intent to deceive.

6. to express what is false; convey a false impression.

and 'wrong' is defined as 

An unjust, dishonest, or immoral action.

Synonyms:  incorrect - erroneous - mistaken - false - improper - bad


It seems that point 1 and point 3 don't mean the same thing. Point 1 specifies that a lie is an intentional wrong-doing while point 3 just says that a lie is an incorrect or false statement. So according to 3, wrong = lie.......?

Or course, if you did something wrong, it can't be used in this context since a 'lie' is of spoken words, not actions. So should we be saying "sorry, I lied about a banana being pink" instead of "sorry, I was wrong"? 
In this scenario, the word "lie" implies that you did it intentionally. 

Huh. I'm not getting anywhere. 

I do think that this is an important issue, because lying is one of the seven deadliest sins and all (yes I am Christian)... Well, good luck figuring out another mystery of the english language...

*listening to Carly Rae Jepsen's new album. It's a bit to fluffy and cotton-y for me though :/

Shakespeare's Da Man

Was wondering why in the world Shakespeare's times were already so vulgar LOL.

Amen

"Amen" has many different pronunciations, and I've noticed a few things.

Chinese-orientated ppl usually say "Ah-Man".

English-orientated ppl tend to say "Aye-Man".

How come no one actually says "A-Men"?
Or rather, I've never heard anyone say that.

Just wondering.
