Yo Ho Yo Ho a Pirates life for me!

So i have to admit i really like the theme from Pirates of the Caribbean. It kind of gets me pumped up and excited and also brings back a lot of memories from our honeymoon. In fact while we were in Destin Fl for our honeymoon the whole city was celebrating the "Billy Bowleg Pirate Festival" This was a pretty cool event. Everywhere you looked there was some sort of pirate theme. "Colors"(aka Pirate flags) were on every flag pole, street sign, boat, car and jet ski. Everyone from Shop vendors, to tourists also got into the spirit by being fully decked out in pirate gear. They even had a few authentic pirate ships floating on the open seas. Needless to say it was pretty awesome, esp. since while on our honeymoon we were able to catch a early screening of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End! Now this wasn't your normal early screening. This was a main Pirate event. The theater had hired about 50+ extras who were dressed as characters from the movie to pass out all kind of "loot" they even had a huge inflatable pirate ship for the kids to play with. We were kicking ourselves for leaving the camera at the condo but you can see Shannon decked out with her loot below (notice her anchor shirt, she doesn't mess around when it comes to being a pirate).



Ok now to the source of this post. I was playing on Youtube and i ran across a video of this 13 year old kid rocking the Pirate theme on a guitar. Now I am pretty creative but im afraid the music genes were saved for my brother. Now instead of being jealous i figure i would give props to these kids and help get them some coverage. Bonus cool factor is THESE ARE ALL KIDS and the are all PIRATES! So just take some time watch the videos. Check out all the different instruments they use to help pump up your inner pirate.










Ok thats it for the day. Let me know what your Pirate name is. Also remember help control the pet population and have your pet spayed or neutered.
