Ёлка и подарки 🎄🎁 Перед новым годом настроения не было от слова совсем. Ёлку то ли решили не ставить, то ли забили на это. Ну вот нет настроения, совсем нет. Год закончился, на плечах грузно собралась усталось. Осознание длинных каникул не приносит приятного чувства лёгкости и можно только мечтать о звезде забвения. Но вот 31 декабря. Утро. Мне думалось, что рано я не проснусь. Как бы мне не хотелось. Однако, встала я не поздно. Все спят. А у меня, тем временем, будто разом открылось второе дыхание, хотя и первое не закончилось. В запале улетела на кухню- печенье! А как же без печенья?! Салатики! Как бы не было прибито настроение- салатам быть. Но а ёлки по прежнему нет... Настроение... пожалуй выше на уровень от плинтуса 🤔. День- тесто для печенек не кончается, а салаты надо начинать! И вот я уже жонглирую овощами. Что-то варится, что-то жарится, печётся, моется, режется. И вот я подумала... Подарок есть, а положить его некуда 🤷. Не по канону. Да и настроение уже далеко оторвалось от плинтуса и ёлки уже прямо явно не хватает. Достали ёлку, нарядили. Делов-то на 20 минут, а атмосфера меняется разом. Весь сумбур из простого превратился в праздничный и груз усталости превратился во что-то приятное. Наверное моя звезда забвения действует именно так. #happy_new_year #happy_2019 #cristmas_tree #gifts #somehistory #happy_time #love #nice #likeit #make_a_wish (at Zyuzino District) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsSnzFuFviF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1igyhsv2st2h0

This @gatorade “CITRUS COOLER” flavor is from 1992. The Original glass bottle, seal still intact, Never opened. Never wanted to either.. #NoNotDrink........................ #BeLikeMike.......................... 🤾🏽‍♂️ ************ #SomeHistory************* On August 8, 1991 it all began with @gatorade for MJ. Executives at Gatorade, then owned by Chicago-based Quaker Oats, were head-over-heels for good reason -- they'd just stolen their hometown star from Coca-Cola, fresh off his first championship. Quaker paid a hefty price to land Michael Jordan -- a 10-year, $13.5 million deal and the promise that he would be the beverage's only endorser. Days before the first commercial was to debut, advertising exec Bernie Pitzel, who had come in late in the process, got a preview of the spot that was already approved. Pitzel was honest. He thought it was awful. It merely featured highlights of Jordan dunking, something that Nike had shown countless times in its spots with Jordan over the previous six years. Pitzel wanted a chance to do something iconic. OK, the Gatorade execs said. So the ad went from idea to final version in three days. Pitzel's original idea was to show kids looking up to Jordan while playing the song "I Wan'na Be Like You" from the 1967 film "The Jungle Book" that Disney had recently rereleased. But Pitzel said Disney wanted Gatorade to pay $350,000 for a five-week run. At the time, the cost was too much. So Pitzel went back to the drawing board, sat down at his favorite Italian restaurant, and came up with the "Be Like Mike" lyrics on a napkin in four hours. Pitzel put the lyrics to four local music houses and quickly settled on jingle specialists Ira Antelis and Steve Shafer. The result was the commercial song that the world came to love, which was then paired with Jordan and kids, and the spot was quickly shot. The rest is history. "If we had used music from 'The Jungle Book,' the advertisement would have been forgotten," Antelis told me for my book on Gatorade, "First In Thirst." "Instead, we generated a piece of music that we could own that the world could identify with Gatorade." #history

Maori Tattoos

An original tribe of New Zealand is the Maori tribe. The Maori tribes people lacked a written language. In order to have their stories written down, they got something called a “Ta Moko”. Ta Moko means Maori tattoo. To get these was a long and painful process. An incision was made in the skin and ink was released into the wound. The men are allowed to get full facial tattoos where as the females generally get them from the lips and down on to the chin. Males are permitted full-face tattoos as a way to tell tribe affiliation as well as a defense mechanism against other tribes. The Maori males are pretty large and scary to begin with. When going into battle, they do a chant called the Haka. They stomp and yell and make terrifying faces in order to frighten their opponent. When you add on the facial tattoos as a sort of highlight, the expressions are accentuated and allow for an even more frightening appearance. Women are not allowed to do this. They are only allowed to have the facial tattoo as a sign of beauty. Aside from the face, anywhere else on the body is also permitted. This is because that each moko requires a very large amount of skin. You can think of it as having thousands of words from a book put onto your body. The most common moko is the whakapapa. Whakapapas tell the story of the skin’s genealogy. Each curve, line, pattern, ect tells a piece of familial history of the skin.
