The Story in Your Eyes - Justin Hayward

Not only is this one of my favorite MB tunes, it's one of my all-time favorite songs.

What Australian Animal Are You?

You Are a Crocodile

You are fierce and strong. You go after any prey that is in your sights.

You have a take charge personality, and you are quite dominant. You are not easily intimidated.

It's likely that you've had to struggle for survival in your life. You've had to develop a very thick skin.


You can be brutal, but you can also be tender. You tend to have two sides to your personality. 



If I had been a kangaroo, I'd have posted this video, but this one works just fine for these results:

What Major Human Emotion Are You?

You Are Love
You find it easy to love. First of all, you love yourself - and that's extremely important.

You truly love your friends, and you even have a special love for all of humanity. Other people mean a lot to you.

You find it easy to express your feelings and get close to people. And while no friendship is perfect, you've mastered the art of forgiveness.


You are affectionate and caring. Your love can be anywhere from platonic to passionate, but it's always strong. 





Which begs the question...

Elephant Cam

From the website: Visit a regularly frequented waterhole and the open plains of Africa with live streaming webcam views. Situated in the busiest elephant corridor that joins the Chobe National Park and the Hwange National Park, Camp Kuzuma is a private and exclusive safari lodge situated in the pristine Kazuma Forest reserve in the Chobe region of Botswana. Visitors will have the chance to see an abundance of wildlife, including elephants and lions.

Unlike most cams, it has a microphone and even if there's no large animals getting a drink, it's cool to listen to the birds and the wind blowing. I've never seen any lions around the waterhole, and usually there's not much going on, but this was the scene a few hours ago:


Actually, just before I decided to post this, I checked back in and it's pretty much still the same scene, although the elephants have moved a few feet to the left. Yes,I say "elephants" because behind the one elephant is another, smaller one - the baby of the larger elephant, I reckon.

This was the view earlier this a.m.


If you're disappointed in not being able to see the baby, don't feel lonely; I watched the cam for an hour earlier and only got small glimpses of it, mostly its trunk.

Here's some consolation:

Satisfaction - The Rolling Stones

In the early morning hours of May 7, 1965, in a Clearwater, Florida motel room, a bleary-eyed Keith Richards awoke, grabbed a tape recorder and laid down one of the greatest hooks of all time: the opening of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction."  Just three days later, the Stones took the song into the Chess studios in Chicago and completed it on May 12 after a flight to L.A. and an eighteen-hour recording session at RCA.

40 yrs. later, the song is ranked near the top of many greatest rock hits lists.  Rolling Stone (which ranks it #2 on their list of "500 Greatest Songs of All Time") wrote this about the song: "That spark in the night...was the crossroads: the point at which the rickety jump and puppy love of early rock and roll became rock."

A performance in 1965, one of the earliest known recordings of a Stones live concert.

Story of My Life - One Direction

I know people like to hate on One Direction - because they're a "boy band" or it's pop or for any number of reasons. I don't own any of their albums, but I do like this song and especially this video.

You Don't Know Me, Do You?

Got this rather ironic spam in the junk file folder just now:


Like I said, they don't know me.  I don't think I'm a douche, but I'm definitely a time-waster.  In fact, it's probably one of the things I do best.

This calls for a song, my life story:

Rubberband Man - The Spinners

I just noticed that on the Today in History module on the right-hand column that the rubber band was patented by Stephen Perry in England on March 17, 1845. That calls for this old tune:

Hell's Bells - AC/DC


If you think this song is evil, or simply don't like AC/DC, then just go ahead and play the gong part on your own.
