I do not think I am knowing precisely what to make a description of, and so I will only describe who I am and also I will make attempts for this describing to be very much brief.
You may dub me Sasha. I will be twenty years old in the summer that approaches. Momentarily, I will be nineteen years old, and I will be attending university in a place that is not my hometown. I miss many things from home. Perhaps that is the reason I have made this blog: I desire to remind myself of the things I am away from or of other things that bring me happiness. There are many, many things that do this, so I cannot be for certain what things I will post on this. I am sorry I cannot make more specificity for you. Also I am making a notice that I am also a male person. I make this notice because, OK, Sasha maybe is more often being a name for girls and also for women, and maybe it would be vey premium for me and also no different if I were one of them, but I am making notice that I am really not and that I am a male person.

I must manufacture an apology, even if I am sorry, it will be a very much brief one, for the reason of, the problem I will make a mention of progressively remains a guest with me momentarily.
Very simple is this explanation for how long I have not made a post: this final week that is making an approach is, most metaphor in the way it is, behaving to kill myself! I am so much tired for all of the time I am awake, and I am not given so much time to be asleep as I am desiring, for the reason of, I have so many things I have a requirement to complete.
So much work I am required to complete, and very little time do I possess for it. And so, OK, I choose to not maybe make posting to my blog in a regular way, and even still I am maybe not being as much successful as I have a desire for in completeness.
OK, this is all I am desiring to say. Progressively to my final week and prior of times, such as this moment, I will be very much more in presentness.

“Private Ivan A. Smith, editor of the Camp Hood Panther, at Camp Hood, Texas, originated this novel method of reminding fellow soldiers to practice discretion. From the Office of War Information, 1943” (via This Man May Die: 1943 | Shorpy Historical Photo Archive)
I have made a little while viewing this picture, and only now have I made an illumination of it. Very much is this a clever notion, I am thinking, and also a very premium capturing of this notion.
I do not believe wars are so much to be a good thing. Rather in a converse, they are a very miserable thing I do not have any desires to see happening. This does not so much mean maybe they are not possessing the ability to create also very much intriguing things, for an example, this sign I am viewing here.

Once more, I make apology to persons who make a follow of me, for reason of I am manufacturing z’s even during many times I am making a mask of to be also so awake. I do not have a single feeling of being awake. At my school I am making an approach to what is dubbed “final week”, in which making a path to I possess very much exam, project, and additionally papers, all of them who need a completion to be done to them so much soon. Always I am discovering myself to be very tired, and also making a daydream to manufacture z’s. Maybe also this is not being a thing for which I have a feeling of proudness, but I will make a mention of once, I previously begin to manufacture z’s even when still I was inside of my class. For this reason, this class instructor, she made a slap at me with this book also I had made a reading of, and she gave me a small piece of embarrassing, of this “Sasha, do not manufacture z’s inside of this duration of class!” and also this other students made a teasing of me for this.
OK, so I am very much a tired person, and also a very much busy person, and for this reason I possess a plan to make a sleep that will not be so much a short one as so many my z’s, but instead to be hopeful a very much long and very much filled with a relaxation for myself sleep.
Maybe now I will make a wishing to you that you will possess a very premium evening and progressively I will not manufacture more posts, but instead to manufacture very many z’s.
Goodnight Sasha! I don’t know what time it is where you are, are we in the same time zone even?
Finals week is pretty much hell on earth- it’s coming up here to so I understand how you feel there. I have very little homework for tomorrow which is nice, but I barely slept two hours yesterday, which is annoying.
(Also I think you’re overusing or mixing the idiom of “manufacturing z’s”? Most English speakers don’t really use that one that often. I don’t mean any harm or anything I just thought you might wanna know.)
OK, I am almost making a journey to sleep (already I am making a preparation, for an example, I have just made a dissemination of my shirt, so that I can also make a dressing of myself for sleep and not for awakeness - which is to mean, I have made a genesis of becoming a person who is covered in pyjamas but not jeans or additionally a t-shirt). Primary in fashion, maybe I will make a reply to this message.
I have heard this thing - this notion of very much an unfortunate week being “final week” - which was told to me also by assortment of my friends. Additionally, I am discovering these persons to be so much in correctness and also accuracy. Always I am so much in tiredness, and also business, but also I do not possess a certainty if I will manufacture very premium numbers, which is a thing I am desiring.
Also I am thanking you for giving a correction to my English. Progressively of this moment, I will not so much make a use of this idiom “to manufacture z’s”. This seems to me a confusion, for the reason of I have made so many a view of this picture which is showing a man, and also he manufacture’s z’s, which is meaning he is not an awake person. But OK, if this is not so much an idiom for which American persons make a use, also I will not be making so much a use of this.
For me in ultimate responding to this responding, I will also make a mention of the contemporary time, which for me is being 22:19 hours. Maybe this is an early time to make a sleep, but also I do not possess enough awakeness to make a caring of this, and so, OK, I will make a sleep.
To you additionally I will say this “Goodnight”, and progressively, I possess very much, also as I have made a many mention previously, to make a sleep, and also to make a completion of this becoming a person who is covered in pyjamas for sleep.
I almost forget. You made a mention of “internet friends” inside of this tag box, so I also make a small inquiry previously to my sleep. I am not possessed of a clarity, is this tagging indicator of you and also myself to be “internet friends”? If this is meaning of tagging, I am finding myself to be a very much smiling person, because of this reason of I do not before this have made connection to be this “internet friends” previously. I am hoping you will give me an assurance of this. You are seeming to me a very much agreeable person, and also I think it would make a very happy thing to be this “internet friends” of yourself.
OK, one more time I will be saying this goodnight, and also I will make more conversation some time which is not so much tonight, for the reason already made a mention of, that I am even now beginning to make a sleep, and I have not yet become a person covered in pyjamas! No more times do I possess desire to be a person who is progressively making a discovery of this: he has made a sleep inside of his clothes, and not made a change to be covered in pyjamas. This, I think, is becoming very much a ramble, for which reason I make an apology, and instantly, I make a journey to my bed, which is not so much a long journey, and am hopeful also to manufacture many premium dreams, and also to become a very much relaxation person who is so happy to be covered in pyjamas. Please make a forgiveness of me in this case of my English being increased in clumsyness tonight, for a reason of I am so much a tired person. Almost I possess a feeling of my blood has been made a replacement of with a tiredness which a very much unpleasent person has made a transforming of into this new blood for myself.
I am making so many very much not needed words. OK. I am hoping you are possessing so much a premium evening, and also I say “Goodnight”.

Okay, so it’s not quite the 21st here yet, but it is across the pond, so that’s what matters. In honour of Trafalgar Day, I’ve put together this Nelson/Trafalgar-tastic post! It is very lengthy. You have been warned.
~
The 21st of October 1805 saw what is considered one of the most famous naval battles in history take place. The British fleet of 27 ships-of-the-line soundly defeated the combined French and Spanish fleet of 33 ships-of-the-line off of Cape Trafalgar, near Cadiz, Spain. While these odds may seem steep, it was pretty well-known even at the time that the Royal Navy would be able to thump the French and Spanish.
One reason for this is that British sailors had better training than their French and Spanish counterparts. Most Royal Navy ships drilled at gunnery every evening, and if their captains could afford the extra powder and shot, that included live fire. The French and the Spanish were often blockaded in port by the British, depriving them of valuable time at sea to train. French and Spanish ships were also immensely overcrowded. While British ships were made up primarily of able seamen with a contingent of Marines to help man the guns and small-arms during battle, French and especially Spanish ships were filled to bursting with soldiers. These soldiers were often seasick, no good to man or beast (Oh, O’Brian, how you’ve influenced my language).
In addition to this, the British had knowledgeable officers to lead their men. In order to reach the rank of lieutenant, a midshipman had to pass a gruelling examination given by a board of captains. This exam included extremely detailed questions about practical seamanship, which could include completely de-rigging and rigging again an entire mast (trust me, that’s tricky). French officers, in contrast, were decimated by the Revolution. Most belonging to the aristocracy (like the British), had to flee the Terror. This left inexperienced officers to take their lubber-filled ships into battle.
Another problem for the French came from their Emperor. While Napoleon Bonaparte was a brilliant tactician on land (well, except for that Russia thing), he was completely incompetent when it came to naval matters. Thinking that quantity beats quality, he filled his ships with soldiers, not realising that they were doing more harm than good. Bonaparte also didn’t allow his captains and admirals to make decisions on their own, giving them very detailed orders without taking into account the weather, the enemy, or other uncertainties that go hand-in-hand with sea travel.
This is partially why the Battle of Trafalgar occurred in the first place. The French admiral, Pierre-Charles Villeneuve was attempting to carry out Bonaparte’s invasion plan when, aware of superior British forces, he turned the fleet he had managed to gather back to Cadiz and waited in the harbour, the British fleet just beyond the horizon. Well, Napoleon didn’t like this, so he sent for Admiral Rosily, a French naval hero, to replace Villeneuve. Villeneuve got wind of this before his actual orders arrived, and sent the combined fleet out to face the British in a last-ditch attempt to save his honour.
The battle commenced around noon on the 21st of October 1805, concluding some four hours later. The British captured 18 French and Spanish ships while losing none of their own. It was an outstanding victory that greatly improved British morale at home, where fear of a French invasion had been brewing. It was a bittersweet victory, however, because it also saw the loss of Britain’s hero, Vice-Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson.
~
Horatio Nelson was born on 29 September 1758 in Burnham Thorpe, Norfolk, to Reverend Edmund Nelson and Catherine (hey, my name with a C!). The sixth of eleven children, Nelson’s mother died when he was nine years old. He began his naval career at the age of 12 when he signed on aboard HMS Raisonnable under his uncle, Captain Maurice Suckling. Here he discovered he suffered from seasickness, which would plague him for the rest of his career.
Nelson later joined an expedition in search of the Northwest Passage under Captain Constantine Phipps aboard HMS Carcass. While the passage was never found (though they did reach within 10 degrees of the North Pole), a popular story was circulated that Nelson had gone after a polar bear because he wanted to give the skin to his father before being called back to the ship. This is debated, but it makes for a nice story, anyway.
Between 1773 and 1776, Nelson served aboard HMS Seahorse in the East Indies in support of the East India Company. He contracted malaria in 1776, though, and was sent back home to England aboard HMS Dolphin. By the time he got there, though, he had practically recovered and (thanks to his uncle’s influence) was appointed acting lieutenant aboard HMS Worcester.
After passing his lieutenants’ examination and receiving his commission, Nelson carried out several cruises in the Caribbean. With the breakout of the American War of Independence, Nelson was given his first command. A captured tender named Little Lucy. On the 8th of December 1778, Nelson was appointed Master and Commander of the brig, HMS Badger. (How awesome is that? I want a boat named Badger.)
On 11 June 1778 Nelson was made Post (Huzzah!) and took command of HMS Hinchinbrook. After taking some American prizes though, Nelson suffered again from a bout of malaria. After being discharged and recovering back home, he was appointed to HMS Albermarle in 1781.
Nelson was moderately successful during his command of the Albermarle, but when the peace broke out in 1783, he returned to Britain. He was soon given command of HMS Boreas and sent to enforce the Navigation Acts. He and his admiral, Sir Richard Hughes, interpreted the acts differently, and the American captains of ships he had captured sued Nelson. While in Nevis, Nelson met and married his wife, Fanny Nisbet. With the courts ruling in his favour, Nelson returned home, Fanny following him.
When the war resumed in 1783, Nelson was in command of the 64, HMS Agamemnon. He served in the Mediterranean, where he met Emma Hamilton in Naples. While involved in an assault on Calvi, Corsica, Nelson lost the sight in his right eye after being struck by sand and debris. Nelson continued to serve in the Mediterranean, seeing a few actions, through 1796, when the British evacuated to Gibraltar.
On 14 February 1797, Nelson fought aboard HMS Captain at the Battle of Cape St. Vincent, where he engaged and captured two Spanish ships. While he directly disobeyed orders, it was a great victory, and Nelson was made a Knight of the Bath. Soon after (due to seniority), he was promoted to Admiral of the Blue.
In July of 1797, Nelson led the failed attack on Santa Cruz de Tenerife where he was shot in the right arm which was subsequently amputated. On his return to England in September, he was greeted with a hero’s welcome after his success at Cape St. Vincent, while the public ignored the shambles of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
In 1798, in command of HMS Vanguard, Nelson set sail for the Mediterranean once again. It was at Aboukir Bay he discovered the anchored French fleet on 1 August and fought the famous Battle of the Nile. The French didn’t expect the British to attack in the evening, but this they did. The British pounded the French on both sides until their surrender. While Nelson was wounded above his left eye, the battle was a significant victory, destroying many French ships and stranding Napoleon in Egypt.
Nelson landed in Naples after the battle to immense celebration. He was titled Baron Nelson of the Nile, though he had hoped for something higher. At Naples he again met with the Hamiltons, and soon fell deeply in love with Emma.
In December, though, the Royal Family and British nationals had to evacuate Naples when the French invaded after Naples’ King Ferdinand declared war. In 1799 Nelson was promoted to Rear-Admiral of the Red and spent his time blockading Naples. King Ferdinand gave Nelson the Dukedom of Bronté in thanks for his support.
By 1800, Nelson was gaining a reputation for insubordination and his relationship with Lady Hamilton was being scrutinised. He returned to England (with the Hamiltons) and was again treated to a hero’s welcome. Tensions, however, between Nelson and Fanny reached the breaking point, and they separated.
On 1 January 1801, Nelson was promoted Vice Admiral of the Blue, and on the 29th his daughter Horatia was born. He soon had to set sail for the Baltic however, where he fought at the Battle of Copenhagen. Deliberately turning a blind eye (har har, where the phrase comes from), Nelson ignored direct orders to retreat and instead engaged the Danish fleet. The battle ended in a truce, and Nelson was awarded with a Viscountcy.
He returned to England in July but almost immediately was ordered to defend the English Channel as Napoleon was gathering an invasion force. With the Peace of Amiens in October, however, he returned home and toured England and Wales with the Hamiltons, being greeted as a hero everywhere he went. William Hamilton died in April 1803, but the next month war once again broke out, and Nelson returned to sea aboard HMS Victory.
He commanded the Mediterranean fleet in a blockade of Toulon for the next year and a half. He was promoted Vice Admiral of the White in April 1804, and spent the beginning of 1805 chasing Villeneuve across the Atlantic. He returned to England briefly before receiving orders to command the fleet blockading Villeneuve in Cadiz.
The rest, as they say, is history (sorry, that was really cliché). Before the Battle of Trafalgar, Nelson sent up his famous signal to the fleet, “England expects that every man will do his duty.” An inspiring message to the men who would fight in a bloody battle. (Though some argued it was a silly thing to say. Of course they would do their duty.) Around 1:00pm, Nelson was shot by a French sniper aboard Redoutable. The bullet had entered his left shoulder, went through his lung, and stopped at his spine. He spent the remainder of the battle below in agonising pain, until the news reached him that they had won. Among his last words were, “Thank God I have done my duty.”

Whew! That was a bit long. The Trafalgar stuff I have down pat. Written two essays (and counting) on it already… If you’re interested in a bibliography, do send me a message. While I know most of the general Nelson stuff, I’m sorry to say many of the details came from Wikipedia. Which is why it’s so long. I have two big, fat biographies of Nelson I plan on reading when I finish Aubrey-Maturin. Unfortunately, school keeps getting in the way.
I hope this post added to your Trafalgar Day! Do remember to raise a glass to the Immortal Memory of Lord Nelson today.
Hnnngh you beautiful man get on my blog
I find a fascination to read this mention of Aubrey and also Maturin, for the reason that I had manufactured to think of these very premium novels as soon as I had first viewed this collective pictures. Very much I am enamoured of these novels, which very much have a concern to being sailors and also living inside of very magnificent sailing ships. I think maybe it would be a most premium thing for me to be a sailor on a vessel which are like these, maybe inside this Royal Navy, in spiting of that I am originated from Ukraine and additionally not in Britain. This maybe so much does not have a matter, because also maritime living, it is not so much similar to this in contemporary Royal Navy ship.
Also I find this Nelson to be a much exemplary man of history, and also one maybe I will make an investigation for progressively.
So much this set of pictures gives me a fondness, for this reason, that so many pictures, and also very much having concern of maritime notion. Additionally, this possesses very much information for a commentary, which is a thing also I am appreciating, maybe for the reason of history, most exemplary to be of maritime and also of ruined places (which I am not making a view of in this examples), is very much inspiring of a happiness and also of intrigue inside myself.

combining owls with other, cooler animals has also always been a passion of mine
I am not possessed so much of what to say! This is very much a rare feeling to me. I am so much intrigued by this combination of animals who are not this same animal in primary.
It was for this reason of animal combine pictures I made a view of that I manufactured a follow for this artist, and so much I am fond of them, and also of this way he makes his pictures. So much real they have an appearance of being, but also not to be grotesque as so much I am feeling maybe my pictures sometimes are being.
Maybe I will view more of these pictures progressively, and I will make an addition of this very much more happy notion of pictures in times I will manufacture these for myself. Also I maybe will attempt to make a portraying of these combined animals?

Very much an appealing photograph and also a thing to do. Maybe you will have made already a notice how much fondness I possess for light things, most of when these are in a dim place or even more a darkness. Making a view of this glowing is to me very much a pleasing thing. Additionally, I am very much fond of water, and also of many things which are in a relation to it, for an example these things to be dubbed maritime. My grandfather made once made a circumnavigate to the oceans, and also now he makes a residence in a place which is dubbed Sicily. This is also I will make a mention to be my father’s father, and not the one who is for my mother. My mother, she is living still in this town so much close to Odessa, which is also where my family makes a home still, which exception of myself, who is now in America. Sometimes I make a visit of my grandfather who makes a residence in Sicily, and also possesses instead of a house a very much premium boat, which also contains so many rooms, to make an example, bedrooms, and also a kitchen. This is where my grandfather makes a residence, and I am very much enamoured of this place. My sister, she is not so much fond of it, for the reason of she becomes very much seasick.
I do not have a perception of what will be the progressive encounter I will make with my grandfather, but always I will possess a very massive fondness for him, and also for oceans, and additionally for Sicily and for boats also, for the reason: these things always are inspiring in me feelings of freedom and happiness, and also for memories of my grandfather, who I possess so much love for.

Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre Photography
Maybe some persons will discover it to be a strange thing that I am finding so much beauty inside of this picture, but to me this is OK. Also I am fond to view pictures other persons are also finding to be beautiful, things that are dubbed to be art or also many other things dubbed to be so much possessed of a premium appearance.
I am thinking maybe there are being different notions of things to be beautiful. Art is being very much beautiful, but not always the same as ruined places, or also of natural things. Maybe there is a sad notion of beautiful things, but also a happy one, and maybe also an angry notion, and also a notion which is making uncomfortableness, and additionally so many others.
So many things are being dubbed to be only in one column of things, but this I do not think is so much the reality of things. Also this I am seeing of feelings, to make an example, love. Only one word is made for meaning so many different things, for an example: maybe I will say “I make love for this very premium sandwich”, but also persons manufacture love for each other, and also for places and many other things. All of these things maybe are making use of this same word, but not all of these are so much similar. So many words I am finding in English, additionally that I have heard there are even more than in so many other languages, but still I must make attempts to know when is the correct time to make use of words that are possessed of so many different but also similar meanings. Also this makes a feeling in me of becoming scared to make a use of these words always, for this reason that so many occasions exist for which I could make a use of this word, and maybe I think I will make a use of it very much often, and will make an annoyance of my words.
OK, this commentary is becoming very much far away from this picture, and I manufacture too many words to how much I am inspired in a perplexing and also a fascination to this notion.

Also I am so much filled with an awe for this universe we have a place inside of. Additionally to the fondness I am possessed of for such muted things such as underground places and also ruined places, I very much am enamoured of such very magnificent colourful things.
Some nights I will make an exploration into the outside, and I will view only the stars for very much time. This is obvious that I do not view so many very magnificent and premium colours and also things that are so much far away, similar to nebulas, but maybe it is OK to me, for the reason of when I make a casting of my imaginings into this very far away place, for which I only am required to shut my eyelids and to manufacture a not asleep dream.
Also I do this when the night is remaining distant still, but I think it produces more enjoyment when I am knowing maybe if I was possessed of telescope lenses for my eyes instead only of these human eyes, I could make a viewing of these very much magnificent things I only make an imagining of.
