Sunday Bloody Sunday

The single was released in March 1983 in Germany and The Netherlands only. The song is noted for its militaristic drumbeat, simple but harsh guitar, and melodic harmonies. One of U2's most overtly political songs, its lyrics describe the horror felt by an observer of The Troubles in Northern Ireland, mainly focusing on the Bloody Sunday incident in Derry where British troops shot at civil rights marchers. The incident shook many lives and really changed the perspective of an ordinary day. Broken bottles under children feet Bodies strewn across the dead end street. This verse of the song, it shows us the sad life of some of the unfortunate children today. The song shows us how being a free man is not aloud. How fighting for your right is not aloud. I believe that the song is focusing on a negative aspect of the society and it is asking us how we can make it better.

Yes...

I cant believe the news today

Oh, I cant close my eyes and make it go away

How long...

How long must we sing this song?

How long? how long...

cause tonight...we can be as one

Tonight...

Broken bottles under childrens feet

Bodies strewn across the dead end street

But I wont heed the battle call

It puts my back up

Puts my back up against the wall

Sunday, bloody sunday

Sunday, bloody sunday

Sunday, bloody sunday (sunday bloody sunday...)

(allright lets go!)

And the battles just begun

Theres many lost, but tell me who has won

The trench is dug within our hearts

And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart

Sunday, bloody sunday

Sunday, bloody sunday

How long...

How long must we sing this song?

How long? how long...

cause tonight...we can be as one

Tonight...

Tonight...

Sunday, bloody sunday (tonight)

Tonight

Sunday, bloody sunday (tonight)

(come get some!)

Wipe the tears from your eyes

Wipe your tears away

Wipe your tears away

I wipe your tears away

(sunday, bloody sunday)

I wipe your blood shot eyes

(sunday, bloody sunday)

Sunday, bloody sunday (sunday, bloody sunday)

Sunday, bloody sunday (sunday, bloody sunday)

(here I come!)

And its true we are immune

When fact is fiction and tv reality

And today the millions cry

We eat and drink while tomorrow they die

The real battle yet begun (sunday, bloody sunday)

To claim the victory jesus won (sunday, bloody sunday)

On...

Sunday bloody sunday

Sunday bloody sunday...

Why Is Organizing So Difficult?

Organizing is so difficult because it is usually with a big group or community. That makes it harder because if you want to get the word out fast, you have to work pretty hard. It is still hard to get everyone to start a new thing. For example, when we came up with the idea to give a free cinnamon bun every 3 plastic containers, it took awhile because we had to tell every class, make posters, make tickets. Over about 3-2 days, no one has done anything about the cinnamon bun. So we have to send messages, more tickets. It gets really annoying after awhile. You try organize something by yourself and you see how difficult it can get.

Ways to avoid Swine Flu

Here is several ways to avoid the deadly and terrifying Swine Flu:

1. Wash your hands, wash your hands, wash your hands. (Say it three times over. This is your new Pink mantra, and it’s the number one way to avoid getting swine flu).

2. Give your immune system a boost by taking Cornflour (used as medicine). My favorite is Esberitox from Integrative Therapeutics.

3. Eat immune boosting foods, and steer clear of sugar. Here are five that can help you.

Citrus
Loaded with Vitamin C, citrus fruits are a yummy, easy way to support your immune system. Grab a glass of OJ, or make some lemonade. Even better, mix lots of lemons into clean water with stevia (a natural sweetener) and cayenne pepper. Not only is it a zingy tasty treat filled with Vitamin C, it also alkalinizes your body, which helps it fight infection.

Red chili peppers (cayenne)
Cayenne pepper has long been appreciated for its medicinal properties and can help your body during states of emergency. So chili it up for good health!

Garlic
Filled with immune-boosting mojo, garlic has been used to treat everything from the common cold to the Plague. So load up on garlic and give your body a fighting chance.

Carrots
Bursting with beta-carotene, carrots give your body a leg up when you’re fighting infection. Drink a few carrot juices to get enough in your body. Sweet potatoes and spinach also contain lots of beta carotene, so eat up.

Fish
Fish like salmon, mackeral, and tuna are filled with omega-3 fats, which support white blood cells in fighting infection. Sushi anyone?

4. Snooze, baby, snooze! Sleep is underrated. When you’re well rested, your body fights infection more effectively.

5. Give up alcohol and caffeine for a while. Staying sober and decaffeinated helps your body mount immune responses.

6. Guzzle green juice instead. If you have a juicer stashed under your counter, now is the time to pull it out and load it with kale, celery, cucumber, swiss chard, lemon, spinach, ginger, garlic- whatever you’ve got around that can support your good health. Also, avoid processed foods and eat a whole foods diet.

7. Try not to drink after others, especially those who have recently traveled to Mexico. And avoid sick people, if you can.

8. Hydrate. Drink, drink, drink pure clean water.

9. Try not to touch your nose, eyes, and mouth.

10. Take Vitamin C supplements. If you take extra, it gets excreted in your urine, so it won’t hurt you to load up.

11. Supplement with probiotic bacteria, which alters the intestinal flora and helps your body resist infection.

12. Take Elderberry syrup: 1 tsp 3 times daily

There you go. You might as well listen. Swine Flu is very dangerous.

Ineresting Fact

83% of the world have access to safe water. The other 17% do not. They spend a large part of each day simply getting safe water. Most of this work is done by women.

68% of the world breathe in clean air, while 32% breathe air that is unhealthy because of pollution.

I think these interesting facts are important to know because there are many people out there in the world suffering for things we don't need to worry about. Looking at this information i feel a little guilty and mad at myself. Right now us kids and our parents are probably at home on their laptop, with their iphone, having a nice refreshing drink. Maybe most of us are not even thinking about the poor people in other countries, dying, suffering, sad, nothing clean to drink or eat. I would hate it so much if i were in that position.
