Coordinates: 10°29′S 105°38′E / 10.483°S 105.633°E / -10.483; 105.633 The Territory of Christmas Island is a territory of Australia in the Indian Ocean. It is 2,600 kilometres (1,600 mi) northwest of the Western Australian city of Perth, 360 km (220 mi) south of the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, 975 km (606 mi) ENE of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, and 2,748 km (1,708 mi) west of the Territorian city of Darwin.
Christmas Island has a population of 1,403 residents who live in a number of "settlement areas" on the northern tip of the island: Flying Fish Cove (also known as Kampong), Silver City, Poon Saan, and Drumsite.
The island’s geographic isolation and history of minimal human disturbance has led to a high level of endemism among its flora and fauna, which is of significant interest to scientists and naturalists. 63% of its 135 square kilometres (52 sq mi) is an Australian national park. There exist large areas of primary monsoonal forest.
Phosphate, deposited originally as dead marine organisms (not guano as often thought), has been mined on the island for many years.
Andrew Jackson (March 15, 1767 – June 8, 1845) was the seventh President of the United States (1829–1837). Based in frontier Tennessee, Jackson was a politician and army general who defeated the Creek Indians at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend (1814), and the British at the Battle of New Orleans (1815). A polarizing figure who dominated the Second Party System in the 1820s and 1830s, as president he destroyed the national bank and relocated most Indian tribes from the Southeast to west of the Mississippi River. His enthusiastic followers created the modern Democratic Party. The 1830–1850 period later became known as the era of Jacksonian democracy.
Jackson was nicknamed "Old Hickory" because of his toughness and aggressive personality; he fought in duels, some fatal to his opponents. He was a rich slaveholder, who appealed to the common men of the United States, and fought politically against what he denounced as a closed, undemocratic aristocracy. He expanded the spoils system during his presidency to strengthen his political base.
James William "Jimmy" Buffett (born December 25, 1946) is an American singer–songwriter, film producer, businessman, and author. He is best known for his music, which often portrays an "island escapism" lifestyle. Together with his Coral Reefer Band, Buffett has recorded hit songs including "Margaritaville" (ranked 234th on the Recording Industry Association of America's list of "Songs of the Century"), and "Come Monday". He has a devoted base of fans known as "Parrotheads".
Aside from his career in music, Buffett is also a best-selling writer and is involved in two restaurant chains named after two of his best known songs, "Cheeseburger in Paradise" and "Margaritaville". He owns the Margaritaville Cafe restaurant chain and co-developed the Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurant concept with OSI Restaurant Partners (parent of Outback Steakhouse), which operates the chain under a licensing agreement with Buffett.
Buffett spent part of his childhood in Mobile, Alabama. In grade school years, he attended St. Ignatius School, where he played the trombone in the school band. He later lived in Fairhope, Alabama, mentioned by himself as his "Home Town" during a 2001 concert. He graduated high school from McGill Institute for Boys (now McGill-Toolen Catholic High School) in 1964. He began playing guitar during his college years at Pearl River Community College, The University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and Auburn University where he received a bachelor's degree in journalism in 1969. He was initiated into the fraternity Kappa Sigma (ΚΣ) at the University of Southern Mississippi. After graduating from college, Buffett worked as a correspondent for Billboard magazine in Nashville, breaking the news of the separation of Flatt and Scruggs.

Today I lost my shit in a museum
It was a video installation of Linda Ronstadt
And I really miss my friends, but I don't see you.
All I see is this video of Linda Ronstadt
Today the salt and sun ran down my face
After a year of hiding all my feelings
And I totally lost my shit in that museum
All from a video installation of Linda Ronstadt
I almost made it through a year of choking down my fears
But they're gone for now
All thanks to Linda Ronstadt
And I can't handle astounding works of beauty
I think I like my pretty pretty ugly
But the beautiful soul I witnessed in that movie
Was an entirely different kind of overwhelming
It was a dog that won't stop barking
Like a cut that never stops bleeding
Arizona sunsets in the early evening
Or a grown man inconsolably leaving
I almost made it through a year of choking down my fears
But they're gone for now
All thanks to Linda Ronstadt

Eine Frage der Begierde
Zerbrechlich
Wie ein Baby in deinen Armen
Sei sanft zu mir
Ich wuerde dir nie absichtlich weh tun
Entschuldigungen
Sind alles, was du von mir zu bekommen scheinst
Aber wie ein Kind
Muss ich laecheln
Wenn du dich um mich sorgst
Und du weisst:
Es ist eine Frage der Begierde
Es ist eine Frage des Vertrauens
Es geht darum, nicht zuzulassen
Dass alles, was wir aufgebaut haben
Zu Staub verfaellt
Es sind all diese Sachen und noch mehr
Was uns zusammenhaelt
Unabhaengigkeit
Ist immer noch wichtig fuer uns, obwohl (wir feststellen)
Dass es leicht ist, den dummen Fehler zu begehen
Den anderen gehen zu lassen (Weisst du, was ich meine?)
Meine Schwaechen
Du kennst jede einzelne (Das macht mir Angst)
Aber ich muss mehr trinken
Mehr, als du zu denken scheinst
Bevor ich jemandem gehoere
Und du weisst:
Es ist eine Frage der Begierde
Es ist eine Frage des Vertrauens
Es geht darum, nicht zuzulassen
Dass alles, was wir aufgebaut haben
Zu Staub verfaellt
Es sind all diese Sachen und noch mehr
Was uns zusammenhaelt
Kuess mich zum Abschied
Wenn ich auf mich selbst gestellt bin
Aber du weisst, dass ich lieber daheim waere
