My Music Yearbook

I’ve always been the girl to document every little important detail of my life (or at least try to.) I know it’s crazy, but I swear I’m not a hoarder…If I am, I’m an organized one! =P

Anyway, I’ve been thinking of doing a musical yearbook for the longest time. My musical yearbook would consist of the songs and/or albums in my life that have made an impact on who I am today.

There will be six different time frames: Early life (Infant-5 y/o), Early Grade school (6 y/o - 8 y/o), Late Grade school (9 y/o - 11 y/o), Junior High (12 y/o - 13 y/o), High School [with sub-categories in each class] (14 y/o -17 y/o), and College [with sub-categories in each class] (18 y/o - present).

Each entry will include the song and artist (obviously), the time frame in which it made a difference, and the story behind it. There also may or may not be an audio clip or video for that song.

It may be awhile before I start, but finally writing it down, I think will push me to begin.

Can’t help if I space in a daze. My eyes tune out the other way. I may switch off and go in a daydream. In this head my thoughts are deep, but sometimes I can’t even speak. Will someone be and not pretend? I’m off again in my world!

Nautical Tattoos. There are many. Sailors in large part are responsible for the revival of tattooing—and as a cast of men, at the mercy of Mother Nature, they were a superstitious bunch. 

For Sailors, tattoos were representative of experience. Each image held specific meanings, and was either a mark of pride, or precaution. Some of these images can be found today on many young tattoo enthusiasts, eager to commandeer nautical/maritime symbols as metaphors for their life conditions (Ex: Stars, Sparrows, Compass, etc). I’ve composed a list here of various tattoos and their meanings/superstitions for the advancement of your trivial knowledge. 

  • Swallows: Always find their way home.
  • Sparrows: One for every 5,000 nautical miles sailed.
  • Anchor: Having sailed the Atlantic. Also, if the sailor was a merchant marine.
  • Rope around the wrist: The sailor was a deckhand.
  • Lettering across the knuckles: (Typically HOLD FAST) to help a sailor keep from dropping line or falling overboard.
  • Turtle: Having sailed/crossed the equator.
  • Dragon: Having sailed in to port in China.
  • Dagger through a rose: Willingness to kill or fight, even something delicate as a rose.
  • Compass/Nautical Star: To guide a sailor home.
  • Mermaids, Hula Girls, Pin-ups: To remind a sailor what awaited him at port, good luck if a sailor fell overboard, (and so they could always carry porn with them). 
  • A pig or rooster: To prevent a sailor from drowning, also: ‘Pig on the knee, safety at sea. A cock on the right, never lose a fight.’
  • Piercings: Sailors often got their ears pierced because it was believed to help improve eyesight. Particular earrings/piercings also held meaning in regard to a sailor’s accomplishments. Most importantly, gold earrings were used as a means of ensuring they were buried properly should they die at sea or in a foreign port.
