Reading Notes: Epified Krishna Part A

-

 The king Kamsa had feared his destiny and didn't want to meet an end to anyone. A prophecy told him he would die at the hands of a soon to be born child from his sister. The prophecy also saying that she would have 8 children. The king brutally murdered each child up until the 7th born. When the 7th was born, Krishna, his father took him to a safe village where the king or anyone of the kingdom could harm him. The king this night was having dreams of failure and defeat, but he didn't know why since he though he had killed all of his possible defeaters. The 8th child was a baby girl, which made the king laugh, for he didn't believe a woman had the power to destroy him. That's when the baby girl transformed into a goddess and told him off. She stated the baby to destroy you was alive and safe away from him. With this, the king murdered any newborn child he heard of in the kingdom. Still, little did he know Krishna was safe by the side of Yoshuba. Yoshuba growing up was a mischievous little boy, stealing butter, destroying wagons, playing the flute, and "eating mud." The eating of mud actually turned out to be the entire universe containing all of its living and perished species. In one of the last stories by epified we learn of a Gopi girl named Radha. Radha and Krishna had loved each other and were seen as one soul in the eyes of the people of the village.

In the fall of 2019 I signed a lease to a rental house for the 2020-2021 school year. The lease began in the summer (June 1st to be exact), so that fall I decided to enroll in a course for that upcoming summer. I was already going to be living in Norman because of my lease, so I thought why not? While the dampers of 2020 were not known at the time, I could surely not "un-sign" my lease, and the class I enrolled in was an extremely important one for my major, so I followed through with my plan. Last summer I moved into the home I'm living in now and attended my first lecture of biochemistry. Going into the class I had no idea what to expect! What topics does biochemistry even cover? I knew it was very important that I not only earned my A, but that I truly retained the information taught to me. Along with my major I'm pre-med, which essentially means I'm going to have to take the MCAT at some point in order to be accepted into medical school. Having a good foundati

Week 3 Story: Super Mario Bros

Marion after he wins the battle to take Princess Peach back.  Pixy.org Note: I wanted to do a little run-off of the Ramayana but with different characters. In one of my previous blog posts I talked about how much the Ramayana reminded me of the basic Super Mario Bros. story. It's really simply because of how Peach and Sita both get captured and the other husband/fiancé had to come in to save his loved one. I hope you enjoyed!
