Elvis Presley was made to rule the world, and is rightly called the King of Rock & Roll. Normally he was shy, polite and a little bashful, but once he got on stage, he turned into a monster rocker, a gyrating fireball, with a charming smile.
Elvis helped by being the first visual, crossover artist, with great looks, a beautiful voice, ‘black’ music sensibilities, and country mood. He really was The King, having an unmatched popularity even to this day.

I never imagined my darkest hour
to be this dark
I'm consumed in this hole
connecting my heart with my mind
combining the eyes of Horus
searching for the reason
my days are so drab
An unimaginably loud explosion,
Is followed by broken glass,
And the screams of women and children,
Who are caught up in the blast.
They are caught up in a conflict,
It is catching up with all their lives,
It hasn’t asked for what it’s taken,
And it won’t apologise.
The people open their eyes,
Or at least all those who can,
They don’t want to see the damage,
Dealt by the bombers hand.
They survey all the bleeding,
They hear the cries of pain,
They struggle to comprehend this,
And they start to feel the strain.
A half a dozen are dead,
Fathers, mothers and sons,
And no one can answer the question:
In all this loss, just who has won?
What would drive a person
To board a bus with this in his head?
The survivors don’t know the reason,
Anyone who does is probably dead.
- Art does not have a universal definition, though it is generally believed that it is an intentional and conscious creation of something that requires imagination and skill.
- It can be thought of as a symbol of what it means to be human, manifested in physical form for others to see and interpret.
- The word ‘art’ originates from the Latin word ‘ars’ that means skill or craft.
- Art, like beauty, is subjective, and its valuation and definition changes as time goes by.
- To understand art one has to see it’s essential nature and the social impact or importance it generates.

If I could
Do everything over...
I wouldn't
If I could
feel the end coming...
I wouldn't
If I could
make you understand...
I wouldn't
If I could
trust you...
I wouldn't
If I could
end it all...
I would
I’m weak and tired,
shaky and damaged.
Why does strength make me
weak?
Why every time I stand strong
do I shake and inside,
turn meek?
Strength rips off my flesh
and tears my insides
so the timid, helpless child
can no longer hide—
No longer hide
the tears, the screams
the slashing, the gashing,
the moaning the pain,
the ashes, the crashes,
the rain, no gain.
Strength grabs me, it stabs me
and sets me afire;
it slaps me, it snaps me,
running me down
to the mud and the mire.
I walk proudly
as strength kills me from the
inside out.
I scream and shout
but my pain reaches not one ear
while I fall and shake,
cry and break;
yelling for something to save
me,
for strength to stop raping me
and killing me
with every breath I take.
Digital nomads are people who attempt to gain freedom by travelling while working. This clearly distinguishes between them from business travellers who travel for work and tourists.
Many digital nomads work for clients or companies in a way that is very similar to other more sedentary workers. However, digital nomads are more likely to have an entrepreneurial attitude.
Digital nomads tend to think that they need to be “switched on” to work opportunities all the time.

I'm not what you expected.
Or maybe I'm exactly that.
No matter how you look at it,
I'm a fucking disappointment.
You saw in me what no one else did.
But there was nothing there to see.
