How the times have changed...

Some of these changes I've witnessed through my life, others no. However, they never cease to amaze me... funny, but pretty depressing as well.

Cringe-worthy songs, or just overplayed?

...I daresay that there's a bit of a difference. I wouldn't call this a good list for the most part, since I expected it to be "bad" songs just based on the title, but it's interesting to think about.

Personally, I find a lot of "classic" songs boring just because I hear them way too often. You know the Beatles 1 CD that came out some ten years ago? Sure, all of the songs were hits and are technically good songs, but I've heard them so many times on the radio that I'm never really excited when they come on. I'm going to guess that that's the notion that inspired this list.

It's too bad, though. Songs define the mood of a generation or era, but then get carried on too far. Why not put them to rest for a while and check out other albums by our favorite groups?

Thriller, Supernatural style

Okay, so this is a day late for Halloween, but 'tis the season anyway!

Bald Eagle "Challenger" soars

http://youtu.be/oOZF4vTAF2M




Text that accompanied the video in my e-mail:

'Challenger' is his name (in honor of the lost space shuttle crew) & is cared for by the non-profit American Eagle Foundation (AEF).

He's a 'human-socialized' bird accidentally raised by the people who rescued Him - after being blown from a wild Louisiana nest in a storm as a baby in the late 1980s. Declared 'non-releasable' by federal and state wildlife Authorities, he was trained by the AEF to perform educational free-flight demonstrations at high profile public events.

He's the first Bald Eagle in U.S. History that learned to free-fly into Stadiums, arenas and ballrooms during the singing of the Star Spangled Banner. The celebrity eagle has appeared at numerous major sporting events like the World Series, Pro-Bowl, All-Star game, BCS National Championship, Fiesta Bowl, Men's Final Four, etc.

This eagle named Challenger has also flown before 4 U.S. Presidents

His life story is told in a children's storybook.

Please enjoy the video and pass it on to your fellow Americans.

Your school photos were never THIS bad...

Bahahaha. Here is one of those websites that eats your life. But I love it.

Woooooot mullets! Laser backgrounds! Bad quotes! Prom queens posing with farm animals!

I love how it looks like a time capsule... until you see a lame photo from last year. YES. Bahahaha again.

Dear photograph...

This is a very cool art project, which reminds me a bit of Post Secret. Take a picture of a picture from the past and post it with a brief story.

I'd love to try this sometime!

Literal music video: Eclipse of the Heart

If you've never watched a literal music video, you really should. They can be a bit insulting and pretty damn mean if you love the band or song, but the ones that are done well are very creative and epic. As much as I love the Monkees, I can't be mad at the guy who made the literal version of "Daydream Believer"... it's just hilarious.

I had never heard of the song "Total Eclipse of the Heart" before seeing this redub, but I love it and have watched it tons of times.

Oh, the '80s. Even more awful than the '90s. Bahaha.

(Can't embed this one, though. Sorry about that!)
