The term anno Domini is Medieval Latin, which means in the year of the Lord but is often translated as in the year of our Lord. It is occasionally set out more fully as anno Domini nostri Iesu (or Jesu) Christi ("in the year of Our Lord Jesus Christ"). The terms anno Domini (AD or A.D.) and before Christ (BC or B.C.) are used to label or number years in the Julian and Gregorian calendars.
This calendar era is based on the traditionally reckoned year of the conception or birth of Jesus of Nazareth, with AD counting years from the start of this epoch, and BC denoting years before the start of the era. There is no year zero in this scheme, so the year AD 1 immediately follows the year 1 BC. This dating system was devised in 525, but was not widely used until after 800.
The Gregorian calendar is the most widely used calendar in the world today. For decades, it has been the unofficial global standard, adopted in the pragmatic interests of international communication, transportation, and commercial integration, and recognized by international institutions such as the United Nations.
Adam (Hebrew: אָדָם; Aramaic/Syriac: ܐܕܡ; Arabic: آدم) is a figure from the Book of Genesis who is also mentioned in the New Testament, the deuterocanonical books, the Quran, the Book of Mormon, and the Book of Iqan. According to the creation myth of the Abrahamic religions, he was the first human.
In the Genesis creation narratives, he was created by Yahweh-Elohim ("Yahweh-God", the god of Israel), though the term "adam" can refer to both the first individual person, as well as to the general creation of humankind. Christian churches differ on how they view Adam's subsequent behavior of disobeying God (often called the Fall of man), and to the consequences that those actions had on the rest of humanity. Christian and Jewish teachings sometimes hold Adam and Eve (the first woman) to a different level of responsibility for the Fall, though Islamic teaching holds both equally responsible. In addition, Islam holds that Adam was eventually forgiven, while Christianity holds that redemption occurred only later through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The Bahá'í Faith, Islam and some Christian denominations consider Adam to be the first prophet.
"A.M." by Psychefunkapus
Woke up this mornin', I couldn't find the doorknob
I tripped over the bedpost and I hit my head
I got a revelation, it struck me as funny
My baby wasn't near me, and neither was my money!
Is this what I live for?
Cheap thrills and deceit
but what the HELL is that smell?
I think I'll go brush my teeth!
I feel a little moisture in between my Jockeys
I jump into the shower and I cleanse myself
I feel a little hungry, so I eat a bowl of cornflakes
I turn on the network, oh shit! There's been another earthquake!!
Is this what I live for?
To go down with the ship?
It's almost time for the Jetsons
I think I'll go smoke that ...
Sally wants to be a rich girl
She wants a part on TV
Sally wants to be a rich girl
she don't want to depend on me
But I gave her all my love and I gave her all my time
And ever since she walked out the door the girl is always on my mind
I never had enough to buy her pearls or even diamond rings
I never had any money to buy her any of those things
I need the money
To make her happy
I need the money
To make her mine
I need the money
To make her happy
I need the money
To make her mine
Sally wants to be a rich girl
she don't want to depend on me
Sally wants to be a rich girl
When the earth stopped shakin' I heard the doorbell ringin'
I looked out through the peephole and it was only the mailman
He wants to give me a letter, it wasn't very funny
My rich uncle just croaked, but he left me all that money!
Is this what I live for?
To live life like a king?
Hey - that might be Sally on the phone right now -
I think I'll just let it ring!!
Oh Mighty Jesus!
Sally girl was walkin' down the street without a care
walkin' home with any guy she meets anywhere
Besides, your little game really wasn't very clever
next time, Sally, you should think it out better!
Oh honey!
All that money!
Oh honey!
All that money!
I'm rich!
I'm rich!
