Today is History + The End of the World Averted (Again) + Liebster Award


Happy Saturday everyone! It seems like its going to be a nice day and I have to work at 2pm. Booo. Oh well, better than being a zombie on the midnight shift. Anyways....I just wanted to post today because the world has avoided another predication of the End of the World.  *sighs* Why bother announcing the date that the world will end because in the end you will always end up either the bad guy or the idiot. Why do I say that? If you are right everyone dies and you are the bad guy that jinked us. If you are wrong you are going to look like an idiot/fool. No more predications! I beg of you (and you know who I'm taking to)!




ANYWAYS, I just wanted to thank Lieder Madchen for awarding me the Liebster Blog Award. *sniff sniff* I'm so honored to win an award. I never win any awards. I'll soon have my list of winners in the next few days. It'll be hard to only pick 5 *chews lip*.

If you're wondering what this award is all about, I'll tell you....it awards good blogs that only have 200 or less followers. It gives these baby blogs some sunlight and love. Just like a baby tree in the forest (mind me, I just woke up). Well, once you will this from a fellow blogger, you do the honors and award 5 other blogs you think deserve this award.


ANYWAYS, now I'll share some events that happened on today's date, because since the world survived again, it's time to appreciate a little world history:




 ~Peyton Randolph dies, 1775, American Revolution


~President Kennedy announces blockade of Cuba during Missile Crisis, 1962, Cold War



 ~My favorite gangster, Pretty Boy Flloyd, is killed by the FBI in 1934 *sniff sniff*



~A coal mine in New Mexico explodes, 1913


~The first parachutist uses the parachut, 1797


~Today is Jeff Goldblum's birthday! He was born in 1952


~Franz Liszt is born in 1811 (he's a pianist and composer)



~American forces suffer first casualties in the Vietnam War, 1957



~President Thieu turns down peace proposal, 1972

~Germans capture Langemarck during the First Battle of Ypres during WWI in 1914


~Allies in WWII confer secretly about Operation Torch, 1942




Well, I hoped you liked today's little history reminder. Have a great weekend you guys!
