to commemorate the memories of my best friend my mind

yes I was slicing all the mind. I who remember you memories. I also remember you in the same way. yes true you said all walks of life and our world differently. but we still care about this different world we should have both these differences be something that unites us. yes we are united with endless friendship. yes, life here now so a lot of the weird bastard.

why not say yes you will be a memory like a distant memory. you remember before you became memories of our relationship is more than friends. we are united by what is called the abstract feeling of love. yes love that unites us before you remembered. until now I did not know what love is, whether it's something that expresses or painful. I see in the world is now much loved but to be hurt or be loved but only disclosed or even loved but not dihargai.aku had thought myself lucky to have had your heart for a short time because you are now a distant memory.

You also are memories as friend or as someone who could have feelings. yes after you remembered that you yourself into something new in my life.

why do you boast your world while here also I have something to be proud but not like you. I was about to become a memory like you. maybe from now on I have to know how your world was. You should explain how it is remembered memories and fond memories. oh yeah what if I become a shithead you mean if I do not deserve to be where it was? I deserve what in the world is wasted.

I was desperate because I just felt myself under this consciousness. no responsible to anyone. I want to be memorable as soon as possible to let everyone know I will be remembered and will be remembered. what else should I enjoy in this country that many stupid people. if I could ask you to help me so I recorded first so I do not have to queue up with the others to be memorable. I also did not deserve in this world. I do not have anything else unless you memories.

is that true? answer was to be remembered to you?

yes I also agree that whoever had sent this letter should be talking to us both why he connects us as if we were in the same world.

to reach the memories that I want to achieve

my friend who has remember me
it is very sad indeed, why do you remember me in that way?
whether I am sad memories in your mind? so that makes you like it.
Did you not remember when I became memories? when it is also the one you remember me, and since then we are also the world differently. I did not forget you in my world, I remember you getting here. yes my friend this letter be memorable to me, if you think I'm judging you memories of this letter is that shed most of my life had been changedfor you .you friend maybe it's because the world has changed since I was there to be memorable. but I'm proud of myself because I was remembering when the world is changing and you when my world comes alive. yes your writings and words semengerti what you say it is not our way of life and even our future memories.
yes I even have many friends here who understand what it is new to me. although I terpojokan so you do not have good memories about you and it will always be I keep. You did something that was not to be remembered, but what power I have become memories. You may be against you is strong lupamu it. memories said you used the powerful and relentless since I became memories whether you become a person who is able to recall any memories?
I'm sure we met in nature these memories. You know why I'm so sure because of you who created this universe and I'm the memories so we will surely meet friends in nature. I will still know you even though we had not been met, even if it means you either become like what it is but I'll keep looking for you until I get you and make our memories intact.
I was confused by the world's memories, here contrary to your world. many people miserable and mediocre but can not remember and the people are so great they are remembered. everyone here remembering all of their amnesia.
I do not know the path of your life, because I created for you and from you. you probably will not like this world without me and even though we are different but we connect these memories pass letter.
I do not know if I'm real or not because I'm only a second's memories that you never skip. I may be obvious if you think of real but I will remember when you were recalled. so, the point I'm real or not how penafsiranmu to me.
I'm here still believe you because you live in the world why you're not confident with me anymore?
what makes you ask the things that memories

I'm not sure you will succeed against forgetting itself, because I know you're not as strong as what you say memories. they say is true memories because I am only a memory for no particular reason and there's no point when stored. I just forget the memories than I complicate life in the wild there.


yes actually I also do not know if we could meet later in the same universe. I did not know whether you can still recognize me if I've turned into memories like.


I honestly memories I confused this with my world. many people who are so great but I can not remember. there are ordinary people, but that's what I recalled to. memories are forgotten too many people here, so that those people even though amnesia as to what they recalled.


if yes how my life without you memories, can I be the one like this. kkau memories are indeed into my soul, you're the one who raised me. I miss you memories. you are my second soul from me.


I sometimes wonder if you're here it's just really real memories or because you were such indelible memories. so the memories are you real?

First he broke the radius bone , which connects the elbow to the thumb . In a few minutes he broke the ulna , the bone on the outside of the forearm . Subsequently he applied a tourniquet or bandage that binds tightly to his arm . He used a knife to amputate his right arm below the elbow . The entire procedure takes approximately one hour .Ralston gave first aid to himself of a small kit in a backpack . He plugged the anchor with the rope in place . He then hiked 5 miles downstream adjacent Horseshoe Canyon , where he met with the families of Dutch travelers who are on vacation .Dutch couple Eric and Monique Meijer , and their son , Andy , started out of the canyon when I heard a voice behind "Please , I need help " . The couple soon realized that he must have been a climber who lost such information from officers the day before ..Ralston walked quickly toward the couple with his arm in a sling hanging homemade and he spoke clearly : " Hello , my name is Aron , I fell off a cliff on Saturday and I was stuck under a boulder. I cut my hand four . hours ago and I need medical attention . I need a helicopter " .My wife and son Eric tries to get out ahead of the canyon as fast as possible to get help .

Short story : Judgement of Paris

The Judgement of Paris

When the dark beauty, Hecuba, the wife of King Priam, was pregnant, she had a terrifying dream. She dreamed she gave birth to a firebrand and awoke screaming that the city of Troy was burning to the ground. Alarmed by this, her husband consulted his son, the seer Aisacros, who told him the baby would one day cause the destruction of his country. Accordingly Priam ordered that the child should be put to death. So, after the boy was born, he was given to the chief herdsman, Agelaus, to be killed. Agelaus left the child on Mount Ida to die from exposure but, returning five days later, found the boy still alive and took him home, where he brought him up secretly. As a young man, Paris became noted for his extreme beauty, wit and prowess.

At about this time the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, the hero and the sea-goddess, was celebrated on Mount Pelion. All the gods and goddesses were invited, with the noted exception of Eris, the Goddess of Strife, who was hideous and disagreeable. Angered at being left out of the nuptuals she strode into the middle of the wedding feast and threw a golden apple into the assembled company. It landed between the three most powerful goddesses, Hera, Athene and Aphrodite. Picking it up, Zeus found it was inscribed ‘For the Fairest’. Wisely deciding not to judge between the three deities himself, Zeus nominated the beautiful Paris as arbiter, but first he sent Hermes to enquire whether he would be willing to act as judge. Paris agreed and so a time was set for the three goddesses to appear to him on Mount Ida.

When the day came, Paris sat himself on a boulder and waited with beating heart for the arrival of the three great deities. All at once a great light appeared which covered the entire mountain. At first Paris was blinded, but then the goddesses cloaked their light in cloud so that he was able to look at them. First Hera, the great queen, approached him and flaunted her beauty in front of him. Radiant with glory she made him a promise. If he awarded her the apple, she would grant him wealth and power. He would rule over the greatest kingdom on earth. Paris felt the excitement of this and his ambition rose up and yearned for her gift.

After that, grey-eyed Athene approached him, drawing near and bending down, so that he might look into the magical depths of her eyes. She promised him victory in all battles, together with glory and wisdom - the three most precious gifts a man could have. This time Paris felt his mind leap with excitement and with desire for the riches of knowledge and the glory of prowess.

Then it was the turn of Aphrodite. Hanging back a little, she tilted her head so that her hair fell forward, concealing a blush on her face. Then she loosened the girdle of her robe and beneath it, Paris caught sight of her perfectly formed breast, white as alabaster.

‘Paris,’ she said, and her voice seemed to sing inside his head. ‘Give me the apple and in return I will give you the gift of love. You will possess the most beautiful woman in the land, a woman equal to me in perfection of form. With her you will experience the greatest delights of love-making. Choose me, Paris, and she will be yours.’

Then Paris, overpowered by the intoxication of her words and her beauty, found himself handing her the apple without even pausing to reflect on his decision, guided only by the strength of his desire.

So it was that Paris awarded the Apple of Discord to Aphrodite, and Hera and Athene became his implacable enemies. True to her promise, Aphrodite gave him Helen, the most beautiful woman living on the earth at that time - but, in order to enjoy her, he had to snatch her from her powerful husband, Menelaus. So began the terrible ten-years’ war between the Trojans and the Greeks in which many a brave hero lost his life, including Paris himself, and after which the great hero Odysseus wandered the seas for a further ten long years before returning home.
