Same Name - Music


 On Facebook, I'm part of a huge geeky group called the Promenade and the other day someone started a topic of discussion about songs with the same name that are completely different and by different music artists. Since the group has well over 6,000 members, there were plenty of replies and it was really interesting to see what people thought of. Being a music geek myself, I thought it would be a great way to find out about different songs and music stylings, so I do encourage you guys to comment below with any you know of that I don't include (you don't need a Google account to comment, by the way).

With just 10 different titles, there are 25 different songs listed and the only commonality is the title, and clicking on the artist names will let you hear each one. Be sure to add any you know of that I may have missed in the comments below!

*These songs have additional title wording. For Halestorm: (So Do I); for Rupert Holmes: (The Pina Colada Song).

Craft TIME

Howdy Ya'll

So y'll know I love me some crafts, my new current addiction is Duct Tape crafts, So today I will show ya'll how to make Duct Tape Bows.


Supplies

  • Duct Tape (Duck Tape brand is what i recommend)
  • Scissors
  • X-Acto Knife 
  • Cutting Mat




For this bow I will use Star Wars and Red 



1. Cut 6 strip 4 1/2 ich long. 


2. Take the strip and place it on top of the same color ( I found if you use the lines on the cutting board and line up both bottom you get a better lineament) 

3. Trim off stickies and make the all even.

  
4. Cut a small strip about 2 1/2 inch ( this will be the middle part so choose wisely the color) 



5.Cut about inch strip  I made two just in case
 6. Fold in half 

 8. When fold in half, fold each side  backwards 
( almost like folding those fan we did as kids)



 9. Put the Together and find the middle



10. Use that piece of tape we cut earlier to wrap around it.

Volia! We made a Duct Tape Bow Tie.  You can hot glue a hair pin to it, or attach to a headband or create a collar and wear it as bow tie. Up to you. 


Stay Geeky

Writing Prompts Part Deux

 I have a touch of writer's block again, so I figured I might do another fun prompt. This time, I chose number 211: Write from the point of view of a clean sock that was mistakenly placed in the hamper.


Ugh! Why did he have to do that? He just tossed me in here like I was a pair of skid-marked underwear! And now I'm laying on his grody skid-marked underwear... Oh god, if I had a stomach, I'd be puking right now. It smells so bad in here! I was fresh and ready to slip onto his foot, but NOOOOOOOOO! Heaven forbid he take the time to check me out and see that I was clean. Well, we'll see about this. I may just have to talk to the dryer and see if it can help me disappear. That'd show him! Let's see how he likes having just one sock, that bipedal neanderthal!
