      Elise Bird : Here’s some ideas (heheh time for my creative juices)
      1) Imagine Dragons covers
      2) Twenty Øne Piløts covers
      3) Panic! At The Disco covers
      4) I Don’t Know How But They Found Me covers (they’re relatively new only one album which is technically and EP called 1981)
      Can you tell that I’m an emo lol
      But actually though you’d be really good at TØP covers cause in the Blurryface album days they used ukulele so if you learn the tunes you can do a complete cover, music and vocals. That would be awesome. Also, Origins by Imagine Dragons is a great album full of stuff you’d be good at (Deluxe version is especially awesome just sayin)

    I know this is an old vid, but I live in Australia and my local dive site, The Gutter at Shellharbour, has one of these huge cuttlefish that lives in a small cave, and every time we go for a dive he comes out and lets the dive instructor pick him up and we all scratch his belly and play with his tentacles. It's like an ocean puppy! It's the best thing I've ever experienced.

    My wife and I had an interesting encounter with cuttlefish a few years back! We were diving around Richelieu Rock, a prime diving spot in the Andaman Sea, off the coast of Thailand. Coming around a boulder, we encountered 3 cuttlefish swimming in tight formation... no giant ones, but still 15-20 inches long. We stopped swimming, they did the same, and we observed each other for several minutes, maybe 15 feet from each other.
    Then, one of the cuttlefish, the bravest ? approached me, close enough for me to touch him (her?)... but I didn't. We stared at each other for maybe 10-20 seconds, when one of the two remaining cuttlefish swam to him to grab his rear and pull him back... just as to signify: are you crazy to get that close from those two alien monsters?
    The encounter lasted a few more minutes, until the cuttlefish had satisfied their curiosity and swam away.
    It left me the feeling that I had an encounter with a very alien, but intelligent life form! But perhaps that is just my fantasy!...

    Cuttlefish are so fascinating! There are still so many mysteries surrounding their abilities, nervous systems and sensory capabilities, that we just don't know for sure how they do much of what they do. I wonder what they'd achieve if the parents stayed alive to raise and potentially teach their young. Their colorful displays could have some potential for communication, and at least some species use it to make flashing patterns to put their prey in a sort of trance (idk if all of them do it), and from what I've heard they're kinda smart!
