I have the weirdest relationship with sharks. Firstly, I am definitely scared shitless of them, especially when swimming out in the open ocean. You never know what these crazy things can do.

Second, I actually enjoy learning out them, watching movies with sharks, and I even enjoyed swimming with some sharks in the Caribbean. Yes…I know, call me crazy!!

I forget what type of sharks they were, but I got to swim in a huge enclosed space in the Caribbean sea where they had all sizes of sharks. There were huge ones and little baby ones that followed the mommy shark closely. Let me tell you, that experience was scary but it sure as hell was thrilling too!!

So, I’m not sure if I love them or hate them. I think it’s a mixture of both. Sometimes I think they can be very scary and then other times I just think, they are just trying to survive too. The one thing I know for sure is that I have this huge fascination with sharks. I swear it’s true. I have so many books about them and love watching them on the discovery channel.

Like I said in the beginning. I have a weird relationship with sharks.

My father showed me this song the other day. It’s by a Portuguese singer named Eduardo Mourato. The first video is the song “The Blue Ocean” in English. The second video is in Portuguese and is called “O Mar dos Acores”.

This guy really sings good. If you’re not Portuguese, you probably won’t think so and might not understand why he’s singing about the ocean. But seriously, the ocean is really the heart of many Portuguese people especially those from the island of Azores where my parents are from.

So enjoy some music from a culture you may not know. Watch the videos below.

I’m sure you know some info about water, but not everything. That’s why you all should check out this website at AllAboutWater.org.

After looking through the entire website, it really is a great resource for learning more about the water you drink and the process that takes place to make bottled water. There is even a section dedicated to the truth about bottled water in which you can learn the difference between bottled water and tap water. Take a look.
