Elvis has left the building 20

My mom bought this Elvis concert DVD which got me thinking about his life. So I searched the internet and I found some really interesting facts. Here’s a little list:

  • Elvis was found dead in his bathroom, and when they did the autopsy, they found 15 different drugs in his system!
  • Priscilla, Elvis’ wife cheated on him with his karate instructor.
  • Elvis took drugs for the very first time in Germany when he was drafted.
  • Elvis was actually a twin, but his brother was stillborn.
  • Elvis Presley was bullied at school, and bullies used to call him “mamma’s boy”.
  • His first recorded song was a song he wrote for his mother.
  • His family was extremely poor, and his father went to jail for only 10 U.S. Dollars.

So there you have it! I bet you didn’t know all of that huh??
But I gotta say, when I read about his personal life, I felt sorry for him… He was a very good man, he loved his mother and adored his wife. And in my opinion the main reason of his death was because the two women he loved most were gone! His wife cheated on him, but it was because Elvis was always away for concerts and stuff. And his mother died while he was in the army!

You can read more about Elvis Presley on (WikiPedia.Org) and (Elvis.Com).

College Life

Just two more days until my holiday!! My midterms actually finish tomorrow, but since we are obligated to attend classes, I have to go on Monday as well :( How lame!
I only have Computer Science left, but it’s not as easy as it sounds, I actually need to know ALL the parts of a computer and their functions… I also need to be able to recognize them from images and stuff like that. So it’s a lot of work!

  7. Jay says:

    Those were indeed some interesting facts. I didn’t know all of that. To be honest, I never took the time to listen to his music, but A LOT of people idolize him so I think I’m going to get some songs and do some research too when I have some time to kill. TUTORIALS!!!!!!!! Yaya.

    Oh, and did you use a plug-in to show what you’re listening to for Wordpress back on Arab? I was just curious.

    Elvis is on my list of people to read biographies about. My favourite fact about him was that he dyed his hair black, as really it was a light colour :)

    I’m fine too thank you :p I have just made an update on my site.. Hmm.. I wanted to tell you about yesterday but since there is so much to say about it I’m just too lazy to type it again; you can read it in my blog if you’re interested :p

    Me too.. I really love songs like that, very moving!

    Hey there.
    Congrats on the opening (I’m a bit late I know, sorry)
    Oh my gosh I’m so jealous of you that you’ll have your holidays like so soon, I still have to wait ’til the 19th December! Long time…
    Aww I wish you good luck with your exam. We were talking about all the computer parts in my computer class the other day. It’s kinda confusseling to me.
    I really feel sorry for Elvis, even though I don’t really listen to his music – but I like a few songs. I didn’t knew that his wife cheated on him! That’s so harsh. I didn’t knew about the other facts either though.

    Have a nice day(:

  15. Shellz says:

    mid terms are over for me, next up are finals then a 3 week break!!
    Wow, Elvis had a pretty hard life, eh?

    lmao at the comment above me!

    I’m pretty sure Computer Science would be like Technology, and I hate Technology :( We have to cut wood and make some kind of shelf, which causes a bunch of wood dust of fly all over the place and resulting a) stinging to the eyes, b) stinging to the nose and c) stinging to the mouth. WOO!~ LETS STING THE STUDENTS UP SO THAT THEY’LL SUFFER AND THEN STAY AT HOME SO THAT WE WILL HAVE LESS PEOPLE TO TEACH!

    I’ve never really imagined Elvis looking like he does in that picture, he doesn’t look like a strange fat dude with a weird hairstyle xD But yeah, the part about him dying in the toilet is pretty funny and I’m not sure if I could consider it tragic, but there you go. After learning about this fact a year ago, I went about telling everyone how he ate a mcdonalds burger, had a constipation and died of a heart attack because he was frustrated with the whole constipation stuff, lmfao. I’m the bringer of the gossip, peoples.

  17. Christine says:

    hahaha, they actually have a class at my university called The History of Elvis! You’d probably enjoy it! They also have the history of: The Beatles (I so want to take this one!!!), Rock and Roll (I already took this… very interesting), Country Music, and Hip-Hop music.
