I've rolled with the original version so many times in my day, but I have to say this remix version is a bit more appropriate to my life now. Classic!

Number 4
Coming in at Number 4 is an absolute classic for the those of us who grew up in the Southeast. The lyrics are spot on and couldn't sum up my feelings more appropriately. I believe this was filmed on Lake Norman just outside Charlotte, NC which is where I spent many a summer days back in high school (on the weekends of course).
Only three more spots on my Top 5 Greatest Hits! Enjoy!

Drumroll Please
First off - I just deleted like half of this original post - which really got me fired up! So this new version is a bit revised and more to the point....
Fact is, I've decided to create a TOP 5GH (Greatest Hits) List. Don't roll your eyes just yet! I'm not talking the Casey Casum or Ryan Seacrest version of ranking todays pop rock. I mean who cares about those copyright infringing turds that feed off the classic compositions that previous generations crafted. That's a whole other conversation that we can discuss next week... Perhaps entitled - "What happens to cute kids when they reach stardom?"
What we're discussing here is a dignified, thought provoking and "bringing the heat" style of TOP 5 List.
See, rather then utilize the standard hallmark classics and paint "Stairway to Heaven" or maybe "The Day the Music Died" as the anointed - I'm bringing a new twist - and for the sake of conservativancy (new word I just created) take this review to the next level.
How about a Top 5 List where we focus on not only the classic hits, but also a "Where Are They Now" segment? Ahhh, you say!!!
Friend - put the charcoal back in the bag because we're about to be cooking with gas!
To be perfectly honest, I had little trouble conjuring up the first classic that falls in at #5. Fact is though - I've got little time to conduct the necessary research as we move forward in assessing the leading entertainment professionals (thanks to my blessed day job). That said, I would love to get suggestions that will inevitably get my wheels spinning! I'm definitely up for receiving recommendations and all such will be diligently considered with my suspiciously influential consultation team (my 4 kids).
So starting at #5 we've got a Y2K Classic! It takes me back to the days in Dunwoody, Georgia where I ever so eloquently captured the heart of my beautiful wife! I have no doubt without the help of one Sisqo - I would not be where I am today.... How's that for deep!!!!
So without further adieu, please:
1. watch the video
2. go grab the lady in your life and
3. get your groove on!
The "Where Are They Now" portion is left for communal contribution.

OK, so the later two of the three didn't work out for me personally... But, hopefully it did for you... Whatever... The fact is - this song will forever hold a place in my heart and is certainly worthy of being placed in my (now) well documented Top 5GE (Greatest Ever) List.

The Honey Badger
This video documentary on the honey badger ranks up there with the all time best! I came across this on the Sportsman Living website, www.sportsmanliving.com and couldn't resist throwing it up on the blog.
It's amazing what a twist in commentary can do to a show typically reserved for little more than soothing background noise while prepping that Sunday afternoon nap on the couch. More people need to think outside the box when presenting educational material like this. Although I've always been a fan of National Geographic and Discovery Channel, these shows are missing out on engaging a large portion of the population due to the dull approach in which they present the material. Usually it's some douche with a British accent talking in a whisper like he's right there with the creature. A video in this format captures the educational components in a compelling manner that will certainly be recalled by viewers. So much so that you will never forget what a honey badger is for the rest of your life after watching this video!
National Geographic - mission accomplished!
A Shot of Inspiration
Human Achievement is Amazing. I found this video fascinating and the following quote equally as impressive. It's this kind of mindful inspiration that drives success.
Am I a fool at this late date,
Am I a fool at this late date,
To heed a voice that says, "You can be great"
I heard it young, now I hear it again,
I heard it young, now I hear it again,
It says, "You can be better than you've ever been"

You're Kidding... Right?
A restaurant in London is planning on serving breast milk ice cream called "Baby Gaga". The expensive treat will cost £14 pounds ($23 US dollars) a serving. Where does this breast milk come from? Mothers answered an ad that was placed online and are selling their milk to the restaurant for £15 pounds for every 10 ounces of milk.
One of the donating mothers said she believes if adults realized how tasty breast milk actually is, then new mothers would be more willing to breast-feed their own newborns. Do moms really decline breast feeding because they don't know how good it tastes? That is a ludicrous concept. She also said, "What's the harm in using my assets for a bit of extra cash?" Now we're all on the same page!
Baby Gaga is said to "melt in the mouth". The recipe blends breast milk with Madagascan vanilla pods and lemon zest. Churn it a bit and you have ice cream. They are planning more new flavors to serve up to the public.
Free-range, organic, natural, milk. What's not to like?

My only regret is that I didn't think of this first... Having four kids, I could have made a fortune! LOL, not to suggest my wife is my Blue Bell! Perhaps I should correct the statement and say, "SHE could have made a fortune."
