What Examples Show 'Stay Foolish Stay Hungry' In Action?

If you want to light up a room or blast out of a long drive with everyone singing at the top of their lungs, drop 'Should I Stay or Should I Go' right when people need a jolt. I use it as an opener or a bridge in party playlists because its call-and-response chant is pure crowd fuel — people know the chorus and can’t help but shout along. For road trips it’s perfect after a mellow stretch of songs; that crunchy riff and stomping beat wake everyone back up and reset the energy. It’s versatile: throw the original Clash cut into a punk-rock block with 'London Calling' for an adrenaline surge, or sandwich a modern cover to show contrast and get people talking about versions. On the flip side, I love sneaking it into break-up or indecision-themed playlists where lyrics matter more than volume. Placing it near acoustic confessionals or yearning pop tracks gives that line “should I stay or should I go” weight — it becomes the moment of decision, not just background noise. I also experiment with tempo transitions: an extended intro from a softer track can let the Clash drop feel huge, whereas fading it in after a high-energy EDM tune softens its punk bite and makes it feel wilder. Covers and remixes are great for mood shifts too; an acoustic cover can make the same lyric feel fragile, while a remix amps it into a gym-ready banger. I still grin every time that riff hits, it’s a dependable mood-changer in my mixes.

Lately I’ve been obsessing over the tiny decisions that decide whether a print lives for a week or a century, and that curiosity led me to a rather nerdy breakdown of prints in darkrooms. If a print is properly developed, fixed, washed, and dried, and you then tuck it away in true darkness, it can last decades or even over a century depending on materials. Silver-gelatin fiber prints that were well processed and optionally toned (selenium, gold) are famously durable. Color prints are a different beast — they’re much more sensitive and won’t tolerate the same long-term treatment. In an active darkroom under safelight, though, the story changes: safelights (red/amber) are designed to let you work without fogging paper, but papers have different safelight ratings. Resin-coated (RC) papers tolerate safelight exposure longer than some fiber papers, but I wouldn’t leave a print sitting under a safelight for hours; fogging can creep in. Practically, I avoid leaving important prints exposed to any safelight for more than the short time needed to handle them; for overnight storage in trays I put them in envelopes or cover them. If you’re storing prints long-term, use archival, acid-free sleeves, stable cool temperatures, and low humidity. I’ve rescued prints that were decades old and still gorgeous because someone cared about processing and storage—proof that darkrooms can be safe havens if you respect chemistry and climate.

I get swept up in anime marathons the way some people chase the perfect coffee — with a little ritual and a lot of stubborn focus. I start by planning the session like it’s a small event: decide on a finish point (three episodes, a two-hour block, or a whole season if I’m brave), queue the episodes, turn on full-screen, and make sure the streaming app is set to stop autoplay so I’m not yanked into an accidental six-hour run. For longer shows like 'One Piece' I chop the evening into realistic chunks; for dense, plot-heavy series like 'Attack on Titan' I give myself a short debrief after two to three episodes to absorb what's happened. Physical prep is huge for me. I clear a small table with water, a snack that doesn’t require attention (fruit or pre-cut veggies), a comfy throw, and a mute phone in another room or on Do Not Disturb. I set a timer for a five-minute stretch every 90 minutes — it sounds silly but it kills the itch to check my phone and keeps me from turning into a couch potato. I also close tabs and mute social feeds; spoilers are distracting and can ruin immersion. Finally, I treat binge-watching like a ceremony: dim lights, good speakers or headphones, and a mindset that this time is for pure enjoyment. When a show is extra tempting I’ll even write a tiny checklist of plot points I want to watch for so my brain stays engaged rather than scrolling. It helps me savor the ride instead of getting fragmented by everything else in life, and I always finish feeling more satisfied than frazzled.

Thinking about booking a wild getaway to Hedonism II? Let me give you the dirt from my spreadsheets, receipts, and the embarrassment of wearing a neon sarong into the wrong bar. Prices fluctuate a lot depending on season, room type, and whether you book an air-inclusive package. Generally you'll see per-person, per-night rates that start around $120–$200 in the low season (mid-spring through fall) for basic rooms when splitting a double, and climb into the $250–$600+ range per person per night during high season, holidays, or spring break for nicer rooms and suites. If you factor a typical 3–7 night package, that translates to roughly $400–$1,500 per person for a short break and $900–$3,500+ for a full week in upgraded accommodations. On top of the headline price, expect taxes, port or departure fees, and sometimes mandatory gratuities to add another 10–20% to the total. Airport transfers, spa treatments, scuba excursions, private dining, and premium beverage upgrades are extras. If you're booking through a travel site, watch for bundled airfare deals — they can swing the price dramatically, but read cancellation terms. Peak dates (Christmas/New Year, Presidents' Day, spring break) nearly always spike prices. I recommend subscribing to the resort's email list and following a few travel deal accounts; last-minute deals and flash sales pop up often, especially in shoulder season. My practical tip: pick your vibe first — are you after the party rooms or a quieter suite? That choice changes the budget more than you’d think. I once turned a pricey-sounding week into a manageable splurge by flying midweek and taking a transfer shuttle rather than a private car. Totally worth it for the sunsets and the weirdly soothing conga lines — I still grin thinking about that first night.

Bright blue icing always gets me giddy, especially when it's shaped exactly like 'Doraemon'. I usually break this down by decoration type because that’s what actually decides how long the cake will stay lovely. If the cake is covered in fondant (that smooth, sculpted look), the fondant helps keep moisture in and you can safely leave it at cool room temperature for about 1–2 days in a clean, dry place. Buttercream-covered cakes do fine out of the fridge for a day if your room isn’t hot, but I still prefer to chill them overnight—they taste fresher that way. If your 'Doraemon' cake has whipped cream, fresh fruit, custard, or other dairy fillings, treat it like fragile treasure: refrigerate immediately and plan to eat within 24–48 hours. For longer storage I freeze slices (wrapped tightly in plastic and then foil) and they keep great for up to 2–3 months; thaw in the fridge overnight to avoid sogginess. Also, when you pull a chilled cake out to serve, let it sit 20–30 minutes so flavors open and you don’t get that cold, clumpy mouthfeel. I always stash a slice in the freezer for emergency late-night nostalgia—works every time.

Bright colors aside, for me the practical truth is simple: rainbow milk made from regular pasteurized cow's milk and food coloring behaves just like plain milk. If it's a store-bought carton, follow the printed date and once opened I try to finish it within 5–7 days. I’ve found that after about a week the flavor dulls and the chances of souring climb, even if the color still looks cheerful. If I make rainbow milk at home—just milk plus a few drops of food dye or some flavored syrups—I treat it the same way. Keep it in a sealed glass jar or bottle, stash it toward the coldest part of the fridge (not the door), and label it with the date. If you add things like fruit, whipped cream, or ice cream, I wouldn’t keep it more than 24–48 hours because extra ingredients bring extra bacteria. Smell, texture and taste are your best quick checks: sour smell, lumps, or a slimy film means toss it. Personally, I like to make just enough for a couple of days so it stays bright and fun—and I don’t end up with a science-project bottle in the back of the fridge.

I get weirdly sentimental about tiny misheard moments in songs, and 'Stay' is a goldmine. I’ve sung it in the car, at karaoke, and in the shower, and each time someone in the backseat insists they heard a totally different line than I did. What makes 'Stay' such a playground for mondegreens is the way two voices melt together, the breathy production, and that fragile emotional delivery — all perfect conditions for our brains to fill in the blanks. One typical mishearing revolves around the chorus’s expression of uncertainty about feelings. Many listeners come away thinking the line is aimed at the other person — basically a switch from “I’m not sure how to feel” to “I’m not sure how you feel.” It’s a tiny shift in pronoun focus but it changes the whole emotional target of the line, and I can’t tell you how many times I caught friends arguing over who’s being honest in the song because of that. Another classic is the closing plea: people sometimes hear the final word as a homophone — what sounds like a soft, lingering wish gets misheard as something more action-oriented, which is why karaoke renditions sometimes end with awkward pauses and confused applause. There are also lines that trip people up because of breath placement and consonant blending. When the vocalist slides between words with that intimate, close-to-mic technique, the consonants can blur and suddenly a simple verb becomes something else entirely in the listener’s ear. I remember once texting a buddy the lyrics and he replied with a laughing voice note: he’d been singing a completely different verb for weeks because one consonant was swallowed in the studio mix. My go-to trick now is to check the official lyric video or listen to a live acoustic cut — hearing the voice separated from the heavy reverb usually settles the debate. If you’re into sleuthing, try isolating the vocal on a streaming playback app with an EQ, or watch a stripped-down performance; those tiny shifts in delivery become obvious, and the mishears lose their grip. Either way, discovering what we each thought the song said is part of the fun — songs like 'Stay' almost invite that kind of shared confusion.

I've been hunting down lyrics for songs since mixtape days, and when it comes to 'Stay' by Rihanna I usually cross-check a few places because not every platform shows the same detail or the same “verified” badge. The big, trustworthy streaming services that typically offer licensed, time-synced, or officially sourced lyrics for popular tracks like 'Stay' are Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, Deezer, YouTube Music, and Musixmatch. Spotify shows lyrics in-app (powered by a lyrics partner like Musixmatch), Apple Music gives you the full time-synced lyrics experience with official publishing credits, and Amazon Music and Tidal both have licensed lyric displays through their lyric providers. Deezer and Musixmatch also provide synchronized lyrics, and Musixmatch is handy as a standalone app if you want a centralized place to check lyric attributions. That said, the term “verified” can mean a couple of different things: some platforms label lyrics as officially licensed or verified by their lyric partner, while others rely on community-contributed text that gets reviewed. Genius is another crucial stop — while it’s not a streaming service per se, Genius hosts the song’s lyrics and sometimes has artist-verified annotations or the 'Verified' video series where artists explain lyrics; if Rihanna participated in one, that would be the clearest sign of direct verification. Also, official lyric videos on Rihanna’s Vevo or her official YouTube channel are as close to canonical as you can get, because they come from the rights holders. One practical tip from my own playlist wobbling: look for small cues in each app — phrases like 'lyrics by', 'full lyrics', or a lyrics icon — and check the credits or the source (Musixmatch, LyricFind, etc.). Regional licensing sometimes means a lyric display might be missing in one country but present in another, so if you rely on a single platform and can’t find the verified text, try loading the track in another app or seek the official lyric video on YouTube. For me, a quick cross-check between Apple Music (for sync/credits) and Genius (for annotations) usually settles any lingering doubt about what's accurate or what Rihanna really sang that night.
