In My Head

I still call you mine...
In my head
and we're still together up there
in a space all our own
You won't leave me alone
memories out of control
That's all I get
for wanting you back
(but somewhere you're holding me tight... in my head)
You see nothing's left
but I have it all
stored up in a house full of prayers
You can't see the future,
or where we could go
but I have this huge wish- way up there
with some crazy stories
of things we once did
'cuz I call you mine
In my head.

Melbourne Shuffle: Pae and Sarah

sSo, noticed yesterday that people familiar to me aren't always familiar with others. People known by a hundred thousand. So, big, but not quite big enough to warrant typical celebrity status. Particularly role models for a large group, such as basketball or quilt making.
Meet Pae and Sarah. Ever heard of the Melbourne Shuffle? It's a type of street dance originating from Australia. (specifically, Melbourne) A simple foot rotation and side-to-side motion, paired with a move called the Running Man (originated in the '80's, think MC Hammer) and there you have it. Glorious.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the Melbourne Shuffle.



Pae and Sarah are perhaps the most easily recognized of their peers.
This video made a huge splash in 2007:



This pair is a decided step up from the conventional shuffler, and one of the best introductions to this Hardstyle dance.
