Why do we like listening to music?

Do we listen to music differently in different stages of our lives?  Do we find some songs more gratifying than others in different times in our lives? Why do some songs make us feel good inside and others are just... just alright. Is it the wave frequency or is it that we relate to the lyrics? I, personally, know that I am not drawn to the words, sure it's great when the songs connect to your feelings and thoughts, but that is not my top requirement when choosing which songs I like or I should say which songs pull me in. I don't feel I choose them. They automatically get replayed and eventually given the title (at least in my head if I don't share them with anyone) that this song is goood.  My taste of music is different than what most people around me like. It is a personal thing. Most of the time I listen to music either on my earphones or in my car, sometimes there are others around me where in that case I listen to different genres usually something more upbeat. Most d...

Animal Fur

-



I was watching The Kardashians a few days ago and Khloe was asked to do a nude photo-shoot to be placed in a campaign against animal fur. I'm not going to show it to you cause i dont really want any naked ppl on my blog lol, but if you are interested look it up. Which I actually think is a good way to bring about a message, because it actually gets people's attention--but of course a campaign such as this one would definitely not be done in the middle east or it would have the opposite effect most probably!
Anyway, the campaign was done by an organization named PETA and when she first went to them, she was obviously against the idea of posing naked. BUT then they showed her a video(s) of how they actaully get skinned. Now they didnt show that on tv but it sure got my attention! So I looked up videos on youtube and here's one.
Let me say this video is for the hard hearted, otherwise dont watch it.... here is the link cause i dont know how to put in a video here from the web

here's another one but i honestly couldnt watch all of it:

okay I'm off to go do something happy, can't think of this anymore. but I think if someone wants to enjoy animal fur, just buy the freaking animal or enjoy fake fur

A Blast from the Nineties - 90ies Toys, Games & Gadgets

-
Image
I'm not sure if it's me getting older or if life is just changing quickly (maybe it's both) but taking a trip down to memory lane to remember some toys, shows, food, and anything we interacted with in the nineties feels good. So for that reason I'm going to write a series of posts covering a few things. This one will be about things we played with and used. Take a look and I'm sure you will be sharing my feelings of saying "aaaw" and "I remember that" to a few items and then perhaps start thinking of how things have changed so much and whether or not it's a good or bad thing. Just think, how was your life before your first smart phone? That alone, I think, was a big step in how our lives changed. So here you go, I'll start out with a mobile phone. Mobile Phones Tamagotchi I would still play with one of these if I can find one Etch-A-Sketch I used to spend hours on this. I kept thinking I would be able to draw something ...

Chills, Peace & Simplicity

Something about the air was chilly today...I don't mean temperature wise but rather a feeling of hollowness that gives you the chills. Waves of sadness kept barging in me and those around me uncontrollably. We kept trying to hide it with bursts of happiness, positivity and without having a care but nonetheless the feeling kept coming back. This winter weather does something to you. Perhaps it is the rain from yesterday, something is in the air. Perhaps, it is the political state of what is currently happening in this world (Jerusalem being declared capital of Israel), something is in the air. I think it is the sadness that we as humanity have come to be in Our World. If you pause and really think about it, you will feel it. Nonetheless, I think it is a good thing to feel this way. We are connecting. We are reaching into our deeper selves and feeling our human nature. Basic instincts that were once all we had. Back to a time where there were limited factors, societies, opinions...

This is post #2 which is a continuation of my previous post: "Top Hotel Design in the Middle East: Bahrain and Egypt"  Click here to read it and which will continue with more posts in the future. Today's countries of focus are  Jordan, Kuwait and Lebanon . Do remember that this list is based on my opinion by looking at hotels online and reading about them. I looked for excellence on the feel of the place --where I think the architect and interior designer did a magnificent job together. Evason Ma'in Hot Springs & Six Senses Spa - Ma'in, Jordan It's nice to see a very nice hotel at a very nice place. For those who do not know, Ma'in is a hot spring and waterfall that many people go to for thermal treatments and a relaxing hot soak. That's why this hotel and its unique design catched my eye. It has been built to make use of its surrounding, keeping the mood alive. Water and natural rock are important elements here of design and they look a...
