An oldie and kinda funny... Shake Down cruise by Jay Ferguson
"It was thirty days around the horn
The captain says it's a thirty-five more
The moon looks mean and the crew ain't staying
There's gonna be some blood
Is what they're all saying
It's a shakedown cruise
And I was just another fool
There ain't no easy way out
They're gonna shake you 'til you shout
They treat you like a dog
But you're only human
You miss your home
Lord, you miss that woman
The captain laughs, he says,
"You boys want some sex?"
You can squeeze the sails,
You can lick the decks"
It was a shakedown cruise
I guess I just was born to lose
They tell you life is going cheap
I got myself in pretty deep
Starlight lost in the night
Drift away and it feels all right
Starlight alone in the night
Drift away and it feels all right
I guess it feels all right
The fever's hot,
the winds are blowin' cold
The captain's crazy eye puts the fear in your soul
I heard somebody cryin'
"Lord let this end
You know I'll never go to sea again"
It was a shakedown cruise
And now we're sendin' out the news
There ain't no victory at sea
unless it's mutiny
Now if I don't get off alive
It's just as well
I'll be waking up in heaven
'Cause I've been through hell
on this shakedown cruise
They call it a shakedown cruise
Shakedown, shakedown cruise
Shakedown, shake it up and move
Shakedown cruise, got me shakin' in my shoes"
Life is either an adventure... or you're not doing it right!!!
A friend who used to work for NASA sent this link to an utterly astounding video of the launch of space-shuttle Atlantis STS 135, using angles from dozens of cameras.
Footage assembled by the imagery team that is responsible for documenting the preparation of the vehicle, the launch and through the rendezvous pitch maneuver as it approaches the International Space Station (ISS). They have dozens of cameras located on the vehicle, pad, and elsewhere for analysis for debris damage or other factors that might cause a problem.
"Best watched on a big screen and with loud speakers," says my friend, and I agree - I was captivated by the entire piece last evening.
This is a web 'photo' find!
I think this sculpture is really cool!
The words I removed were religion related, but I think the "Trapped to Free" feeling of it will be different for everyone. Enjoy! Sculpture redo by Menehune Man, on Flickr
