Letters from Khruschev

Well, just got home from school. Been very busy with lots of school stuff, I get my Art exam paper on Wed and get to start lots and lots of prep work, whoopie (do you sense my sarcasm?). Anyway, I just had History, I couldn't really concentrate in it til the end, but thats like with most subjects today. We keep having trial tests in every subject and tests every lesson is just really not fun or brain stimulating. I feel like my brain is turning into goo when I'm in tests for too long... But as I was saying, just had History, we were doing the cuban missile crisis and I filled in letters from Khruschev to Kennedy, Chelsea said I should put them on here so I thought why not, so here you go...

On the 22nd of October 1962, President Kennedy announced a blockade and called on the USSR to withdraw it's middiles from Cuba.

Letters (black parts were already there, blue parts are what I wrote)

23rd of October:

Dear Kennedy
Sorry, Soviet ships won't be paying attention to your little blockade. And we don't have nuclear missiles anyway.
Love Khruschev

26th of October:
Dear Kennedy
Maybe we do have missiles, but they're just defensive, honest. If the USA promises not to participate in an attack on Cuba and the Blockade is lifted then the request to remove missile sites will be much easier to consider.
Hugs & missiles kisses
Love Khrushchev xxx


27th of October:
Dear Kennedy
Actually, now I think about it, if you take your little missiles off Turkey then I suppose I can manage the removal of the missiles from Cuba.
Thanks a bunch,
Love Khrushchev xxx

However on the 27th of October 1962 an American U-2 plane is shot down over Cuba, the pilot is killed, the President is advised to launch a counter-attack on Cuba but he waits. He decided to ignore the second letter by Khrushchev but agrees to the first (How could he agree with the first? :S). He claims if the Soviet Union does not withdraw from Cuba an attack will follow.

28th of October:
Dear Kennedy
As I am the better person, I mean you have to admit I'm quite handsome, anyway, yes, a new order has been issured to keep the peace. The USSR will remove the 'offensive' weapons and take them back to Russia.
The more peaceful, better looking, and generally better man --->
Love Khruschev xxx

So there you go, I hope you find it interesting, or something. It was a slightly more interesting account of the letters and so I hope it'll help me remember the content...

So if anything interesting happens upon my path I will try to remember to type it on this lovely blog.

The Llama Song

Heh, just discovered a cool song :p

Visit the llama song here

And I've recorded the lyrics below:

Heres a llama
theres a llama
and another little llama
fuzzy llama
funny llama
llama llama
duck

llama llama
cheesecake
llama
tablet
brick
potato
llama llama
mushroom
llama
llama llama
duck

I was once a treehouse
I lived in a cake
but I never saw the way
the orange slayed the rake
I was only 3 years dead
but I told the tale
and now listen, little child
to the safety rail

did you ever see a llama
kiss a llama
on the llama
llama's llama
tastes of llama
llama llama
duck

half a llama
twice a llama
not a llama
farmer
llama
llama in a car
alarm a llama
llama
duck

Is that how it's told now?
is it all so old?
is it made of lemon juice?
doorknob
ankle
cold
now my song is getting thin
I've run out of luck
time for me to retire now and become a
duck

Must add this as 'stuff' on my site...
