If you happen to still sing it as the old year passes and the new year enters, you may be interested to know that ‘ auld lang syne‘ can be translated as ‘for days gone by’ or ‘for olden times’ or ‘for the sake of old times’. The song was written down for the first time by Robert BURNS about 40 years or so before President HAYES was born. Since it’s almost New Year’s again I thought it would be appropriate to sprinkle some of the lyrics throughout this blog post and to give a little history about it. What was even more exciting is what I found out next.īefore you begin reading though, let’s talk about a familiar New Year’s Eve song, Auld Lang Syne, which happens to be an old Scottish song.
It didn’t take long to see some familiar names from my mom’s chart which was very exciting. So I popped open both my parents’ charts and pulled up President HAYES’ chart. I thought it would be fun to look through his ancestral chart and see if I noticed any familiar names. Hayes Presidential Library & Museums ()) where I noticed a link to President HAYES’ pedigree chart. I was researching the life of President Rutherford Birchard HAYES (whose HAYES family is also Scottish) when I came across a website ( Research & Collections – Rutherford B. This past weekend I stumbled into a new quest. This time last year I was just starting my research for the last blog post I wrote about my Scottish CHAMBERS ancestors.

To keep the peace, people’s identities were kept a secret while the story still got told. It was written about 2 people I know that are related to each other but they don’t know it nor would they want to know it. – An example of a story that was written when not a lot of information is available.
LISA DAYS GONE SERIES
– The first in a series of posts telling the story of the murder of one of my distant family members. – A post I wrote about my son-in-law’s family.

The quality of game writing is moving towards parity with good film in this sense, Days Gone feels like an anachronism.Have you ever thought that you’d like to have your own family stories told? If you like the stories I write and you’d like to contract me to write a story for you or a story to give as a gift to someone else, you’re in luck! I’m opening up my services to you. Similarly, the recently Bafta winning God of War shows that blockbuster games that feature preposterous violence can still have affectingly-told, serious stories. Yet there have been better zombie games than Days Gone – like Left 4 Dead, which did not take itself seriously, or The Last of Us, which did, but was better written.
Game plots are often much worse than the action movies they ape, often because they take themselves so seriously. Those who can brave the story and make it further into the game are rewarded with full-on battles with justifiably-hyped zombie "hordes". It’s extremely entertaining to push an abandoned car off the road as the infected bare down on you, or race away from the game’s various zombie types only to be clotheslined by a lamppost and summarily devoured. This is a shame, because though there are gameplay problems with Days Gone – fall damage is indecipherable the bike can handle like a lawnmower – the bits that have nothing to do with the story are breathless and fun. This is why these kinds of stories often feature characters who seem to have no interest in people or culture, and for whom the apocalypse seems to provide some exhilarating relief from contemporary life. (Conveniently, all the human enemies in Days Gone are also irredeemably repellent.)Īs with other bad disaster stories, as long as the central protagonist we follow remains safe and reunites with their daughter/dog/durag, we are expected to simply dismiss the death of everyone else, not to mention the total erasure of human culture, as background noise.
