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

Please, you're in my way...

"We will now discuss in a little more detail the Struggle for Existence." - Charles Darwin on the Origins of Species by Means of Natural Selection.

While strolling a public place and walking at a regular pace--not too fast and not too slow--and having just enough space for yourself and your friend on your right side, someone walks closer and closer to you and is heading your direction and you're thinking oh no worries, he'll move to the left since he has the space...but ohh so surprisingly that doesn't happen!

In the past I used to just move out of the way and simply get pissed off inside my head, but in such a country it kept happening way too often and everywhere and by all sorts of ages and people (exception to the old and the very young of course.) It was time for a change. So I began to continue my straight line walking and at the last minute, before a collision happens, THEY would move. Violà, so easy and it even felt good! If they didn't move and we ended up bumping each other, I would hope it hurt them (more than it hurt me) and that they would learn to get out of the way next time!

Why now am I writing such a post about such an issue? Well its cause from the above personal and human experience, I had a thought today while driving through a street full of birds that had to fly out of my way. There was even one birdie that didn't move till the last minute and that made me look back in the mirror to check if it was alive, (it was). So it made me wonder if birds get annoyed when they keep seeing these huge things--the cars--coming their way and interrupting their meal time.

Poor creatures--I feel their pain--us humans are quite annoying.

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

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
