Black Clouds and Silver Linings 

Dream Theater's 10th studio album. Released on June 22nd 2009.

BCSL is the best album since Scenes from a Memory. The 3 epics on the album are "A Nightmare to Remember", "The Best of Times", and "The Count of Tuscany". "The Shattered Fortress" sums up Mike Portnoy AA suite. "Wither" and "A Rite of Passage" are OK, and they probably the only songs you will ever hear on the radio from this album.

Silver Lining 

The principle that every bad situation produces something good or teaches some lesson. It is derived from the fact that clouds, even though dark, often have bright silver edges where the sun reflects.
2020 was a terrible year, but the silver lining was I got to do school from the comfort of home, finally wasn't constantly busy, got to play lots and lots of video games, and learned to appreciate a normal world.

every cloud has a silver lining 

This phrase is used to encourage a person who is in a very bad situation to create hope.
"Don't worry Joey, every cloud has a silver lining, you'll definitely get past this."

Ken Livingstone

Controversial Mayor of London since 2000 and longtime left-wing campaigner. Although he is often called 'Red Ken' his principles are desperately unclear. At one point he supported subsidised public transport but he recently doubled the fares, adding to the money he raises by charging cars to enter London - though London councils already issue draconian and extortionate fines to anyone who strays into a bus lane or overruns a prepaid parking ticket. Livingstone can be credited with pushing poorer Londoners into high debt and low mobility while presenting a socialist face to the outside world by his unusual alliances worldwide and radical political stunts. In 2006 Livingstone was ruled to have brought the office of mayor into disrepute after incidentally comparing a Jewish reporter to a Nazi and refusing to apologise despite many attempts by officials and Jewish groups to smooth the remark over. The adjudicatory panel suspended him for four weeks but he appealed, making the novel claim that an appointed body cannot judge an elected body. In the interim period he announced that two Jewish Indian businessman of Iraqi parentage should, if unhappy with his proposals to them concerning the London Olympics, "go back and try it under the Ayatollahs". Nevertheless he enjoys staunch support from the hard-left and Labour Party old-timers.
I do understand. I pay road tax. I pay congestion charge. I pay council taxes. I even paid for that parking space. Still you're telling me that even though I bought a ticket and your wardens illegally towed me, if I don't find £300 now you're going to increase that charge as payment for looking after my car, and that until I give you whatever sum that makes you will keep my car and eventually dispose of it, and that if I don't like it I should sue you later? Is this one of bloody Ken Livingstone's ideas for promoting London and making it a cool place to live? I thought he was Marxist?

Silver lining 

"Look for the silver lining" is a suggestion that has been said so often it may appear trite to some. But it actually contains a very deep wisdom, that can help us all to get through difficulties.

"Every cloud has a silver lining" means that every difficulty or setback that causes harm, also contains a potential for a beneficent outcome. By searching for any positive effects of any difficulty or confusing circumstance, we can begin to feel more inner peace in response to the situation, thus regaining our ability to solve it if we can, or accept it if we can't.
I was so distraught that the cyclone had ripped apart our house, and destroyed everything I owned, that I became morose and helpless, unable to do anything. But I noticed that the entire neighborhood were all helping each other, talking to each other cheerfully, sympathetically, showing kindnesses and support in a way they never had before, and I began to recognize that there was a silver lining even in this disaster!

Livingston High School 

Livingston high school isn't as diverse as they say, it's mostly just Asians, Jews and everything in between. Most of them stick together in their own group and become this isolated ball. But one of the ways that people get together is through SEX . i'm not saying that every girls is a thot, i'm just saying that 90 percent are thots. LHS thots tend to go 1 of 2 ways when it comes to clothing, either wear skintight pants that are 6 sizes too small and stick your ass out abnormally or wear about 20 percent clothing where your ass is hanging out (underwear is optional) and if we didn't see enough of you from behind we also have to deal with the 950 snapchat stories about your dog or you making idiotic poses with your tongue hanging out. but LHS girls can't be LHS girls without BLOWJOBS, things that are given out like pamphlets in New York. for them, it seems like chlamydia is a culture and not a disease

But what about guys, well its pretty divided, you're either a jock, a geek, a loner or a prick (with exceptions). There are a lot of guys out there who play sports A LOT and that's not a problem at all, but when you become a complete douchebag about it then its annoying to everyone else. But most of all, certain guys like to emphasize the size of their dick with a passion, for example making jokes like, "my dick is bigger than your future". In this school especially, there is an abundance of fuckboi haircuts and most of them feel the need to fondle their hair every 3 minutes.
"hey man"
"Yea"
"4'o clock, her pants arent even covering 50 percent of her ass"
"wow"
(starts jerking off in class)
"i heard she fucked (insert 7 stereotypical jewish last names)"
"i heard she got chlamydia"
(fapping intensifies)
(pulls out a blunt and smokes in front of teacher)
