Here we are at yet another Chinese(Lunar) New Year-the Year of the Tiger in fact. Here is some background information:

Tiger symbolizes such character traits as bravery, competitiveness and unpredictability. Tigers love to be challenged and will accept any challenge if it means protecting a loved one or protecting their honor. They don’t worry about the outcome because they know they’ll always land on their feet. Don’t let their calm appearance fool you though; Tigers will pounce when they feel it’s necessary.

Metal Tiger – Years 1950 and 2010

Assertive, competitive and sharp, once Metal Tigers set their sights on their goals there’s no stopping them. They’ll always do what’s necessary to remain at the center of attention. Metal Tigers tend to jump to conclusions; a behavior they need to work at improving.

Since this is a "Metal Tiger " year I thought it only appropriate to include one of my favorite David Bowie songs-Hang on to Yourself with lyrics that typify the metal tiger.
