Day 8: Africa by Toto (1982)

"I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become"

Day 7: Some Girls Do by Sawyer Brown (1992)

"Well, I ain't first class, but I ain't white trash
I'm wild and a little crazy too
Some girls don't like boys like me
Aw, but some girls do"

Never watched the movie, but the soundtrack slaps and stuck with me as a kid.

Day 6: Wild Again by Starship (1988)

"I wanna be wild again, no one's child again
I wanna live every minute so hard that I wear it thin
I wanna find the edge, risk it all to win
I wanna see those eyes in the mirror full of fire again
I wanna be wild again"

"I'm alone in this
I'ma as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's lost in this
She's all like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach"

"Come a little closer, it's alright
I'll be your character with flaws tonight
Come a little closer, my firefly
You're not the only one
Who doesn't want to be
Alone tonight"

Day 3: Ocean Avenue by Yellowcard (2003)

"If I could find you now, things would get better
We could leave this town and run forever
I know somewhere somehow we'll be together
Let your waves crash down on me and take me away"

There are so many great Tom Petty songs, but this one remains one of my top favorites.

Day 2: Learning to Fly by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers (1991)

"Well, some say life
Will beat you down
Break your heart
Steal your crown
So I started out
For God knows where
I guess I'll know
When I get there

I'm learning to fly
Around the clouds
But what goes up
Must come down"

I thought this was about some sort of emote at first. The quotes are eyebrows, but the moved comma indicates he is looking to the right. The greater-than is too high up to be a nose so I assumed it was a forehead wrinkle.

I see now that this interpretation was not accurate. "," > "",

Day 1: Mercy Me by Alkaline Trio (2005)

"Oh, Mercy Me
God bless catastrophe
Well there's no way in hell
We'll ever live to see through this
So drive yourself insane tonight
It's not that far away
And I just
Filled up your tank earlier today"

My challenge for November is to post song lyrics once a day. Sometimes it's because what they mean to me, how creative they work, or just how they sync with the music. Nothing particularly deep, but just stuff from songs I really like.

At the Sellwood Bridge Friday Night Protest, in #Portland, OR, people were mad as effing hell tonight about the week of lawless outrages by the administration. It rained, we had a rainbow, people in my part of the world are pissed off. The tyranny stops when we stop it. You need to get involved.

So if I'm understanding this right, the Republicans refused to collaborate before the showdown, now refuse to collaborate until the shutdown ends, and just keep trying to pass the same bill, unchanged, over and over. Seems like a good example of insanity.

Six heroes, One destiny.
It all begin with the quest to find a masks of power.

'Their resilience is a lesson to us all': The maritime lions hunting seals on the beach In Namibia, a group of desert lions have left their traditional hunting grounds for the Atlantic coast and are now thriving as the world's only maritime lions.

Great news for the lions in Namibia. Less so for the seals.

An interesting take on this, with some uncomfortable truths. For example, I understand that he can probably not drop rent costs immediately but hopefully he does work towards that goal... Instead of lying thru his teeth to get votes and power like the orange stain in the White House did.

Wait, Myanmar and Liberia are also included on that list. That seems unfair since they still use imperial units.

"What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid."

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

I'm surprised they know they passed so quickly. It used to take days even after finals for my high school teachers to get the grades out. 🤣
