RIP Queen Anne

It's been 487 years since Anne Boleyn was put to death by her husband, King Henry VIII, for false charges and selfish reasons. Through all this, she went out in the grace and charm she always showed:

"Good Christian people, I have not come here to preach a sermon; I have come here to die. For according to the law and by the law I am judged to die, and therefore I will speak nothing against it. I am come hither to accuse no man, nor to speak of that whereof I am accused and condemned to die, but I pray God save the King and send him long to reign over you, for a gentler nor a more merciful prince was there never, and to me he was ever a good, a gentle, and sovereign lord. And if any person will meddle of my cause, I require them to judge the best. And thus I take my leave of the world and of you all, and I heartily desire you all to pray for me"

Music Monday

Happy Monday everyone! I know I haven't posted one of these in a wee bit, but finally I have some freetime to do so! School is nearly done for this semester...thank God. It was so hard to be motivated...not only is it lovely outside, but I just haven't cared. I took Winter off, which helped none at all, and I've been working like a crazy kid and a lot of my time has been going to my boyfriend. Sighs. The day just doesn't have enough time in it.

Well, the first video is 'Just Give Me a Reason' by Pink and featuring Nate from Fun. I haven't utterly enjoyed a Pink song in years! I loved her first CD, but after that...I wasn't a fan. Perhaps it's because of Nate, but I love this song.

I'm really falling in love with FUN. They are amazing. Here's another song I adore, 'Carry One'. Such a good drinking song/motivation song:

And finally...since I didn't post what I wanted to post yesterday...here is a little tribute in honor of Queen Anne Boleyn who was wrongly executed due to the corruption of Cromwell and the selfishness and insanity of Henry VIII:

Bookish Blog Hop Partah & Some Poetry

These Bloody Days Have Broken My Heart
by: Thomas Wyatt

Who list his wealth and ease retain,
Himself let him unknown contain.
Press not too fast in at that gate
Where the return stands by disdain:
For sure, circa regna tonat.

The high mountains are blasted oft
When the low valley is mild and soft.
Fortune with Health stands at debate.
The fall is grievous from aloft.
And sure, circa regna tonat.

These bloody days have broken my heart.
My lust, my youth did then depart,
And blind desire of estate.
Who hastes to climb seeks to revert.
Of truth, circa regna tonat.

The Bell Tower showed me such sight
That in my head sticks day and night.
There did I learn of of a grate
For all favor, glory, or might,
That yet circa regna tonat.

By proof, I say, there did I learn:
Wit helpeth not defense to yerne,
Of innocence to plead or prate.
Bear low, therefore, give God the stern,
For sure, circa regna tonat.
