Changes in Latitude, Changes in Attitude

I came across this impressive song written and sung by Jimmy Buffett. The title is "changes in latitude changes in attitude" which reminds me of Physical Geography lesson on how latitudinal difference affects the climate and regional climate affects agriculture, shelter, clothing and lifestyle in general. Oh no no, the song is not about those lessons. It's a very catchy song and I really liked it!  

Here are the lyrics  (the dialect is kinda hard to understand at first!)


I took off for a weekend last month

Just to try and recall the whole year
All of the faces and all of the places
Wonderin' where they all disappeared
I didn't ponder the question too long
I was hungry and went out for a bite
Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum
And we wound up drinkin all night

Chorus:
It's these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
With all of our running and all of our cunning
If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane

Reading departure signs in some big airport
Reminds me of the places I've been
Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure
Makes me want to go back again
If it suddenly ended tomorrow
I could somehow adjust to the fall
Good times and riches and son of a bitches
I've seen more than I can recall

Chorus:
These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
Through all of the islands and all of the highlands
If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane

I think about Paris when I'm high on red wine
I wish I could jump on a plane
So many nights I just dream of the ocean
God I wish I was sailin' again
Oh, yesterday's over my shoulder
So I can't look back for too long
There's just too much to see waiting in front of me
And I know that I just can't go wrong

Chorus:
With these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
With all of my running and all of my cunning
If I couldn't laugh I just would go insane
If we couldn't laugh we just would go insane
If we weren't all crazy we would go insane 

There shouldn't be one 'officially sanctioned' view of our world!

I am working on a presentation for Map projection and Coordinate System. While I was working on the assignment, I suddenly remember very interesting video explaining projections one of my classmates shared with us. Here it is..

Every time I play this clip, I couldn't stop laughing! (my cheeks are hurting right now) Now, though it is as boring as it sounds, Let me get back to my powerpoint!!
