In Greek mythology Pandora ("all-gifted") was the first woman. Zeus ordered Hephaestus to create her as part of the punishment of mankind for Prometheus' theft of the secret of fire, and all the gods joined in offering her seductive gifts. Her other name, inscribed ("[ ]nesidora") against her figure on a white-ground kylix in the British Museum, is Anesidora, "she who sends up gifts". According to the myth, Pandora opened a container jar (pithos) releasing all the evils of mankind— greed, vanity, slander, envy, pining— leaving only hope inside once she had closed it again.
The myth of Pandora is very old, appears in several distinct versions, and has been interpreted in many ways. In all literary versions, however, the myth is a kind of theodicy, addressing the question of why there is evil in the world. Hesiod, both in his Theogony (briefly, without naming Pandora outright, line 570) and in Works and Days, ca. 700 BC, has a very early told and literary version of the Pandora story. In modern times, Pandora's Box has become a metaphor for the unanticipated consequences of technical and scientific development. The evidence of the vase-painters reveals another, earlier aspect of Pandora.
The titanEpimetheus ("hindsight") was responsible for giving a positive trait to each and every animal. However, when it was time to give man a positive trait, as Prometheus, his brother, had taken much longer to create man, there was nothing left. Prometheus ("foresight"), his brother, felt that because man was superior to all other animals, man should have a gift no other animal possessed. So Prometheus set forth to steal fire from the hearth on Mount Olympus and handed it over to man.
Zeus, enraged, decided to punish Prometheus by chaining him in unbreakable fetters and set an eagle over him to eat his liver each day. The eagle is Zeus's sacred creature. Prometheus was an immortal titan, so the liver grew back every day, but he was still tormented daily from the pain, until he was freed by Heracles during The Twelve Labors. Another possible reason for Prometheus' torment was because he knew which of Zeus' lovers would bear a child who would eventually overthrow Zeus. Zeus commanded that Prometheus reveal the name of the mother, but Prometheus refused, instead choosing to suffer the punishment.
However, Zeus also had to punish mankind. The punishment was woman. More specifically, Pandora, her name meaning 'all gifts' (Though, it is believed by some that she was once known as Anesidora). Pandora was given several traits from the different gods: Hephaestus molded her out of clay and gave her form; Athena clothed her and the Charites adorned her with necklaces made by Hephaestus; Aphrodite gave her beauty; Apollo gave her musical talent and a gift for healing; Demeter taught her to tend to a garden; Poseidon gave her a pearl necklace and the ability to never drown; Hera gave her curiosity; Hermes gave her cunning, boldness, and charm.[citation needed]Zeus gave her insatiable curiosity and mischievousness. Thus the name Pandora—"all gifts"—in Hesiod's version derives from the fact that she received gifts from all deities.
The most significant of these gifts, however, was a pithos or storage jar,[2] given to Pandora either by Hermes or Zeus. Before he was chained to the rock, Prometheus had warned Epimetheus to be wary of any gifts given by the gods. However, when Pandora arrived, he fell in love with her and married her despite the warning he had been given. Hermes told Epimetheus that Pandora was a gift to the titan from Zeus, and he warned Epimetheus not to open the jar, which was Pandora's dowry.
Until then, mankind lived life in a paradise without worry. Epimetheus told Pandora never to open the jar she had received from Zeus. However, Pandora's curiosity got the better of her and she opened it, releasing all the misfortunes of mankind: "For ere this the tribes of men lived on earth remote and free from ills [kakoi] and hard toil [ponoi] and heavy sickness [nosoi argaleai] which bring the Keres [baleful spirits] upon men; for in misery men grow old quickly" (Hesiod, Works and Days). Once opened, she shut it in time to keep one thing in the jar: hope.1 The world remained extremely bleak for an unspecified interval, until Pandora chanced to revisit the box again, at which point Hope fluttered out. Thus, mankind always has hope in times of evil and misfortune.
In another, more philosophical version of the myth, hope (Elpis) is considered the worst of the potential evils, because it is equated with terrifying foreknowledge. By preventing hope from escaping the jar, Pandora in a sense saves the world from the worst damage.
The daughter of Epimetheus and Pandora was Pyrrha, who married Deucalion and was one of the two who survived the deluge.

sleepless in singapore at this very moment thinking about many things yep the usual and trying hard not to be too emo lost in a whirlwind of feelings
It's really hurting inside when you wanna love someone but you cannot and you're afraid if you make some crazy move that things will only get worse
not that I keep putting myself down you will too when the circumstances are such but yet you still want to do something cos the person means so much to you
it takes quite an effort to bare your heart yes there is always the reality of heartbreak but I feel there is a need make your feelings felt rather than regret later on sometimes there is no explanation for the things one does
when you meet a gal who is the ONE you will do crazy things too good luck to me I gonna need truckloads of it heh

Hello my friend, we meet again It's been awhile, where should we begin? Feels like forever Within my heart a memory A perfect love that you gave to me Oh, I remember
When you are with me I'm free I'm careless, I believe Above all the others we'll fly This brings tears to my eyes My Sacrifice
We've seen our share of ups and downs Oh how quickly life can turn around In an instant It feels so good to realize What's in yourself and within your mind Let's find peace there
When you are with me I'm free I'm careless, I believe Above all the others we'll fly This brings tears to my eyes My Sacrifice
I just want to say hello again I just want to say hello again
When you are with me I'm free I'm careless, I believe Above all the others we'll fly This brings tears to my eyes Cause when you are with me I am free I'm careless, I believe Above all the others we'll fly This brings tears to my eyes My Sacrifice, My Sacrifice

"All Star"
Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running Didn't make sense not to live for fun Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see So what's wrong with taking the back streets You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow
[Chorus:] Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold
It's a cool place and they say it gets colder You're bundled up now but wait 'til you get older But the meteor men beg to differ Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin The waters getting warm so you might as well swim My world's on fire how about yours That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored
[Repeat Chorus 2x]
Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas I need to get myself away from this place I said yep what a concept I could use a little fuel myself And we could all use a little change Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running Didn't make sense not to live for fun Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb So much to do so much to see So what's wrong with taking the back streets You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow

Your First Name of: Royston
While the name Royston creates the urge to be generous and happy, we point out that it causes an emotional intensity that is a challenge to control.
This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the liver, bloodstream, and nervous system.
Your name of Royston creates a very expressive, versatile, and spontaneous nature.
You are happiest when you are associating with people and participating in activities with others.
Your name gives you a desire to sing, dance, and have a good time.
This name makes you very idealistic, emotional, and temperamental, liking to do things on the spur-of-the-moment and disliking being repressed or held down to monotonous detail.
Your full name creates the overall conditions in your life as well as your destiny. It is a very important factor.

IS YOUR MOUTH WATERING YET?
It should be. Leaner, meaner and more muscular than ever before, the forthcoming Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X is set to be the most potent “Evo” to date. With its bulging wheel arches, ferocious-looking front grille and menacing stare, you quickly realise that this car is not for the faint-hearted. When it comes to the interior (above right), a simple, functional layout allows the driver to concentrate fully on the job at hand, while an LCD screen relays real-time information on the vehicle’s technical status.
While this new incarnation looks like no other Lancer Evolution you’ve ever seen before, rest assured that the legendary “Evo” pedigree is still present and correct. As with previous Lancer Evolution models, which have proved themselves on the world’s toughest rally stages, the motivating force behind this beautiful beast is a 2-litre, 4-cylinder, turbocharged engine. Needless to say, the DOHC MIVEC power-plant in the new Lancer Evolution X has been developed even further, and is designed to deliver instant response – whatever the revs – and keep on pulling all the way to the red line. A clutchless, six-speed, auto-manual transmission provides slicker shifting through the gearbox, with paddle shifters mounted on the steering column. While exact figures have yet to be released, expect acceleration and speed to be in the region of “jaw-droppingly quick”.
Handling is also improved, and body stiffness increased, while the use of aluminium in the bonnet, boot lid, bumpers and roof reduces weight even further. Combine this with a lower centre of gravity and you have extraordinary levels of roadholding. All in all, a nimbler Lancer Evolution than ever before. And when it comes to safety, the Lancer Evolution X features the latest technical developments – in the form of Mitsubishi’s Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC). Based on the full-time 4WD system seen on previous Lancer Evolution models, S-AWC adds Active Brake Control, Active Steering System and Mitsubishi Motors’ “Roll Control Suspension” technology, to create a fully integrated system. As with its predecessors, expect the Lancer Evolution X to combine supercar performance with everyday practicality.

"Chasing Cars"
We'll do it all Everything On our own
We don't need Anything Or anyone
If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don't quite know How to say How I feel
Those three words Are said too much They're not enough
If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told Before we get too old Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time Chasing cars Around our heads
I need your grace To remind me To find my own
If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told Before we get too old Show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am All that I ever was Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where Confused about how as well Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Baby cried the day the circus came to town
'cause she didn't want parades just passin' by her
So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown
While she danced without a net upon the wire
I know a lot about 'er 'cause, you see
Baby is an awful lot like me
Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside, learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all
Baby saw that when they pulled that big top down
They left behind her dreams among the litter
That different kind of love she thought she'd found
There was nothin' left but sawdust and some glitter
But baby can't be broken 'cause you see
She had the finest teacher-that was me-I told 'er
Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all
Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost made it
Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all
