02/24/11 - NNHS Newsletter - The Rose “O my luve is like a red, red rose That's newly sprung in June;” - Robert Burns, 1794 (25 Jan 1758 - 21 July 1796) |

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today's Newsletter theme is being revisited from exactly three years ago today:
http://nnhs65.com/02-24-08-NNHS-The-Rose.html
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oR6okRuOLc8 - The Rose - Bette Midler
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rose_%28song%29:
"The Rose" is a
pop
song written by
Amanda McBroom
and made famous by
Bette Midler, who performed it in the 1979
movie
The Rose. Since then it has been covered by a variety of
artists. "The Rose" is featured in the 1979 film of the same name, in which it was performed by Midler. The single peaked at #3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart and #1 on the adult contemporary chart, and it was certified gold by the RIAA for over half a million copies sold.[1][2] McBroom won the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song, although she was not nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song.[3] Midler won the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for "The Rose".[4] There are two mixes of the song. The single mix features orchestration, while the version in the film (and on its soundtrack) includes an extended introduction while doing away with the orchestration in favor of piano-and-vocals only. |

My Favorite
Animal |
||
![]() |
Our teacher asked us what our favorite animal was, and I said, "Fried chicken." She said I wasn't funny, but she couldn't have been right, because everyone else in the class laughed. My parents told me to always be truthful and honest, and I am. Fried chicken is my favorite animal. I told my dad what happened, and he said my teacher was probably a member of PETA. He said they love animals very much. I do, too. |
|
Especially chicken, pork and beef. Anyway, my teacher sent me to the principal's office. I told him what happened, and he laughed, too. Then he told me not to do it again. The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favorite live animal was. I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, just like she'd asked the other children. So I told her it was because you could make them into fried chicken. She sent me back to the principal's office again. He laughed, and told me not to do it again. I don't understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher doesn't like it when I am.
Today, my teacher asked us to tell her what famous person we
admire most. GIGGLES!
Thanks, Joyce!

Making
Life Work for You
By William Constantine There is an old
adage, "Life is what you make it," and I couldn't agree more. Life
doesn't need to be so complex; in fact, it can be easy and stress free!
Sounds, too good to be true, right? |
FINALLY:
From http://www.ajokeaday.com - 02/23/11:
A man was checking into a
hotel when he saw a golden retriever sitting on a rug near the hotel
elevator. Talking to the man behind the desk, he asked, "Does your dog
bite?"
The attendant said, "No,
he doesn't." But as the man let his hand down to pat the dog, it bit his
hand and held on so tightly that the man had to throw him across the
room. The attendant simply answered, "My friend, that is NOT my dog." |

The Rose
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rose_(song)
Words and Lyrics by
Amanda McBroom
(b. 09 Aug 1947),
1979
Recorded by
Bette
Midler (b. 01 Dec 1945)
Some say love,
it is a river that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love,
it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love,
it is a hunger, an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
and you it's only seed.
It's the heart, afraid of breaking,
that never learns to dance.
It's the dream, afraid of waking,
that never takes a chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
who cannot seem to give.
And the soul, afraid of dyin',
that never learns to live.
When the night has been too lonely,
and the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snows,
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love,
in the spring becomes The Rose.
