Random Post of the Day

So my Animal Behavior Teacher is trying to get a video playing, so I thought I'd share something stupid, but somehow relevant to the happiness of all of you. If you value your senses, take the following steps and thank me when you feel it is appropriate to do so.

Step 1: Go buy the following items (if you have any of these already, you may strike them from the list): A computer; an iPod or other MP3 player; a really nice set of headphones; a copy of Black Holes & Revelations by Muse.

Step 2: Load the CD onto iTunes.

Step 3: Plug the headphones into the iPod.

Step 4: Play Track 5, "Soldier's Poem"

Step 5: Try not to mess yourself.

There you go. I said it would be random.

Let's Get This Party Started

So, I'm really happy that my family has decided to come together and make a concentrated effort to make the changes we each personally need. I know that I should take this time to write some rousing cheer, but it's one in the morning, and I need to sleep. But I'll say this: I will take the time to post my activities relating to this challenge everyday, and I ask everyone to call me on it if I don't. Anyway, I've uploaded a new playlist with a few songs that have good tempos and pump me up a bit. I thought my angsty days were done, but the last song on the list, while being from a band I don't care for, is a JAM. Anyway, enjoy, and good luck to everybody. Let's stay on each other and kick this thing's fat ass.

Fun with iTunes

So, apparently, you put your iTunes on Shuffle, then press forward and answer the question with the song title, then skip forward again to answer the following question, and so on and so forth. Let's see how retarded this gets-expect some commentary:

IF SOMEONE SAYS "IS THIS OKAY" YOU SAY?
"Human" - Apparently, you can now answer a closed-ended question any way you please nowadays.

WHAT WOULD BEST DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONALITY?
"Fresh Tendrils" - I'm kinda disgusting, I guess...

WHAT DO YOU LIKE IN A GUY/GIRL?
"Cry Freedom" - So there you go...the girl of my dreams must be emotional and patriotic.

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE'S PURPOSE?
"I Burn" - Instead of being a husband, father, and dentist, I'm meant to be kindling...kinda depressing.

WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO?
"Sic Transit Gloria...Glory Fades" - Well, I just found out I am destined to burn. Don't expect something inspirational from me.

WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS THINK OF YOU?
"Shiver" - Cold? Don't worry, if everything goes according to plan, I'm about to heat the room up something fierce.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT VERY OFTEN?
"Dancing Nancies" - Hey, don't judge. You don't know me!

WHAT IS 2+2?
"Calm Like a Bomb" - Whatever.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR BEST FRIEND?
"Blackout" - My best friend is OG&E, and we're not on speaking terms right now.

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE STORY?
"Whole Lotta Love" - Brown chicken BROWN COOOWW!!!!

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?
"Dead and Bloated" - I just guffawed and farted on the job.

WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU SEE THE PERSON YOU LIKE?
"4th of July" - Lacey's quite the firecracker.

WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK OF YOU?
"Glass and the Ghost Children" - They're really old, so it probably makes sense to them.

WHAT WILL YOU DANCE TO AT YOUR WEDDING?
"Times Like These" - It's even the acoustic version! Good one.

WHAT WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL?
"Master of Puppets" - I'm so bad-A, they're gonna bury me with a bazooka and an MRE in case I get hungry. The MRE will consist entirely of bacon and nails.

WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY/INTEREST?
"Home" - With school and work, I wish I had more time for my hobby.

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST SECRET?
"House of the Rising Sun" - So I'm a drug addict as well...this game sucks.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR FRIENDS?
"Satin in a Coffin" - I think of it all the time...

WHAT'S THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN?
"Today, Tonight" - Screw the normal flow of time!

HOW WILL YOU DIE?
"Until It Sleeps" - Well, I thought I was gonna burn to death, but instead, I am doomed to suffer exhaustion from insomnia or something.

WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU REGRET?
"Forever Isn't Long Enough" - I'm kind of a procrastinator.

WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH?
"Trouble" - Like that wannabe tough guy on the news last night who said he loved stuff like tornadoes, yep: I laugh in the face of Trouble. (Seriously, did anyone else see that guy?)

WHAT MAKES YOU CRY?
"Back to School" - ...Amen.

WILL YOU EVER GET MARRIED?
"Micro Cuts" - Swahili for "I Already Am..."

WHAT SCARES YOU THE MOST?
"Black Star" - Oprah freaks me the freak out!!

DOES ANYONE LIKE YOU?
"The Widow" - She gives me Twinkies so I'll talk to her.

IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME, WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE?
"Ocean Breathes Salty" - That's right. I would change the content of the Earth's largest bodies of water...if only I could go back in time...

WHAT HURTS RIGHT NOW?
"No Memory" - Something hurts, I'll tell you what...I just can't quite recall what it is.


And there you go. Bonus points to those who can tell me what bands are to be credited with the songs listed above. Answer enough, and I'll come to your house and make you French Toast (you have to provide the ingredients, utensils, and labor. I'll watch cartoons in the front room.)
