Queen - Love Of My Life

Love of my life, you've hurt me.
You've broken my heart and now you leave me.
Love of my life, can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back,
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know
What it means to me.

Love of my life, don't leave me.
You've stolen my love and now desert me.
Love of my life can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back,
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know
What it means to me.

You will remember
When this is blown over
And everything's all by the way.
When I grow older,
I will be there at your side to remind you
How I still love you - I still love you.

Hurry back, hurry back,
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know
What it means to me.

Love of my life
Love of my life ...

"Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence."
H L Mencken

We love you as much as football!

Indeed!

Imagination & Creation

Here we have something from someone you'd never expect to create something like this.
First of all, read:

"In the spirit of the Valentine's Day,think love,think passion,think that the one in your arms is the key and the gate keeper of your heart,and know that whenever you need that person,it's always there,it is your armor,and you are it's eyes and ears,for only the beauty of your voice can take that person to where happiness awaits."

"Your light,your beauty,the sound of your voice is like music sent from heaven,your soft touch is like a bunch of rose petals slowly falling down to my hands,the feeling of you whispering 'i love you' in my ears,feels like happiness and joy,and tears..."



Aaaaand... they are from... *tum tum tum* ... Dallas !! (Eugen)

Great job, indeed. Keep going!

The History of Valentine’s Day

Every February we celebrate Valentine's Day by giving flowers, sweets and cards to those we love. We do this in honor of Saint Valentine. You may be wondering, "Who is St. Valentine"? Time to brush up on your Valentine's history!

Legend says that Valentine was a priest who served during third century Rome. There was an Emperor at that time named Claudius II. Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those who were married. With this thought in mind he prohibited marriage for young men in hopes of building a stronger military base. Supposedly, Valentine, decided this decree just wasn't fair and chose to marry young couples secretly. When Emperor Claudius II found out about Valentine's actions he had him put to death.

Another legend says that Valentine was an imprisoned man who fell in love with his jailor's daughter. Before he was put to death he sent the first 'valentine' himself when he wrote her a letter and signed it 'Your Valentine', words still used on cards today.

Perhaps we'll never know the true identity and story behind the man named St. Valentine, but this much is for sure...February has been the month to celebrate love for a long time, dating clear back to the Middle Ages. In fact, Valentines ranks second only to Christmas in number of greeting cards sent.

Another valentine gentleman you may be wondering about is Cupid (Latin cupido, "desire"). In Roman mythology Cupid is the son of Venus, goddess of love. His counterpart in Greek mythology is Eros, god of love. Cupid is often said to be a mischievous boy who goes around wounding both gods and humans with his arrows, causing them to fall in love.
