The Diary Series I Got The News Today (IGTNT) was started in April of 2004. The purpose of this diary is to draw your attention to the series and the latest in the series posted last night.
Are you goin' to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there,
she once was a true love of mine.
(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green).
(Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground).
(Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain).
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call).
Scarborough Fair by Simon and Garfunkel
There have been over 500 diaries in the series since then.
One year ago today, the IGTNT diary honored Lance Cpl. Brandon J. Van Parys, 20, of New Tripoli, Pa.
(On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves).
(Washes the grave with silvery tears).
(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun).
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
The series has noted the passing of Pat Tillman and Casey Sheehan and many, many others.
(War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions).
(Generals order their soldiers to kill).
(And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten).
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
One day ago there was another in the series. Please recommend it if you think it is worthy. Please visit HERE and bookmark the IGTNT tag.
