I enjoy watching people from all around the world reacting to different cultures - their music, fashion, food... but this YT video is close to my heart because of #BabyLasagna spectacular folk-rock #eurovision2024 performance, also, theme of the song being "let's have one more round ๐ปand party our hearts out" before we get to leave family, friends, pets, cats, farm animals.... in a quest for a better life/future.
One of the interesting questions that author of the YT video was asking - if Baby Lasagna and his band mates are dressed / costumed in - as #pirates ?
Ahem... โบ๏ธ I'm gonna have to use one phrase that everyone moving in and living in Texas (and South in general) like to use - "Bless his little heart!" ...He couldn't be as far from the truth as he thought.
Let's clear something out, once and for all - pirates that we know these days, from Disney ๐ movies (...although I grew up watching mostly "The Crimson Pirate") - were, actually, all the time dressed as all Mediterraneans living in that era, as all folklore loving Istrians from Umag - and Baby Lasagna now for his "folk-rock" Eurovision contest performance ๐ญ
Laced, puffy sleeves and vests are part of Istrian folklore clothes, and Istria (where rocker Baby Lasagna is coming from) was, for a loooooong time now (1100 years exactly), part of the big, big, big, I mean BIG pirate culture - better known as the The Republic of Venice.
Yup - long time before the Pirates of the Caribbean - almost everyone living in Venice and their territories (Adriatic regions - Italian Republic, now Croatian Istria, Dalmatia; Cyprus, Greece, Albania, Montenegro, were already establishing the rules of the trade ๐ดโโ ๏ธ

*Normatec compression therapy is a form of pneumatic compression that uses a device to apply sequential pressure to your legs or arms. The device inflates and deflates according to a programmed pattern, creating pressure around the tissue stimulating lymphatic drainage or blood flow depending on the chosen level of pressure.
*Flower Essences Therapy (not to be confused with essential oils) is a holistic, homeopathic healing practice that uses the vibrational energy of flowers to address emotional and spiritual well-being of people, animals and some holistic gardeners are using essences tending to their plants. Involves using flower essences - infusions made from various, but mostly flowering, parts of plants, to help balance emotions and promote personal growth. Therapy's been around for almost a century and is based on the idea that flowers have a unique energy signature that can be harnessed to support emotional healing. The therapy is gentle, safe and it's recomended to be used alongside other treatments. #Market #VisitSATX #sanantoniohiking
@PiaJSigler So true!
That's why I love to watch @calleymeans interviews! https://t.co/mQjF1NjWON
Lots of great insights into big $๐ค$ that are being made over sick people's bodies (literally)๐ฃ
Ok people๐ซต๐คจ, medical and recovery science advanced so much that our current life expectancy might double in next decade or two. ๐ as @Noble_Nutrition says - it is your choice if you want to live those extra years capable of moving around and enjoying life. ๐ช๐
...and no more "Dog ate my homework" ๐คช BS - when you get a good quality program to follow - suck it up buttercup and stick with it.
Don't be fooled into thinking you don't have a choice about your health after 40. You do...and not making a choice means that one will be made for you. This is your health! This is your life! Don't leave it up to chance.
Big importance of staying active at all ages๐ซถ
๐ plus, I've discovered another lifelong-learner fellow @PiaJSigler !
