Year 1469 (MCDLXIX) was a common year starting on Sunday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar.
Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (Italian pronunciation: [leoˈnardo da ˈvintʃi] pronunciation (help·info); April 15, 1452 – May 2, 1519, Old Style) was an Italian Renaissance polymath: painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer whose genius, perhaps more than that of any other figure, epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal. Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the Renaissance Man, a man of "unquenchable curiosity" and "feverishly inventive imagination". He is widely considered to be one of the greatest painters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived. According to art historian Helen Gardner, the scope and depth of his interests were without precedent and "his mind and personality seem to us superhuman, the man himself mysterious and remote". Marco Rosci points out, however, that while there is much speculation about Leonardo, his vision of the world is essentially logical rather than mysterious, and that the empirical methods he employed were unusual for his time.
It's about time I wake up,
And let my soul come out clean
To this girl that I once loved,
But whose face I never see.
Freshman year, drew a picture,
Wrote her a letter just for her,
Because I threw them in her locker,
But I ran forever scared.
Did she ever find it?
Yeah you bet she did.
Did I ever speak my mind?
No way, I'm chicken shit.
Now I know where she works
And I'm gaining the thoughts
To confront
This aging challenge
That has lived inside my heart.
Five years of total silence
Has crept inside my mind.
Growing older everyday,
I'm reminded of her sight.
It's been so long ago,
Adrianna, you having fun?
I just want to tell you
