Wistery of the Magical Musical 8-Ball!
Wednesday, March 22, 2006
So yeah, in reading Miss Charades' blog I came across a meme type thing that I thought was really cool. It was much like the typical Wednesday Wist in that you set your music player to random, but instead of just listing the first five songs, you put each song as the "answer" to a list of questions. Just like the magic 8-ball saying "Yes" or "Outlook Cloudy" the song will speak the truth :O) And come on, who doesn't want their iPod to answer life's questions and make important life decisions for them? So let's have at it!
How does the world see you?
Tool - Ænema
"Don't just call me pessimist. Try and read between the lines. I can't imagine why you wouldn't, Welcome any change, my friend. I wanna see it all come down."
-So yeah, if you don't actually read the lyrics you would think it's all about being pessimistic, but really it's just being fed up with all the bullshit in the world. I can see how a lot of people see me as pessimistic, even though I'm really not, so sounds fair!
Will I have a happy life?
Collective Soul - Untitled
"See, I don't believe in the sorcerers or the preachers. I just believe in you. And I don't believe in the scholars or the wise men. I just believe in you."
-Untitled? Is that like the Musical Magical 8-ball equivalent of "Try again later?" At least it's a song about love, so maybe that's a good sign?
What do my friends really think of me?
Jewel - Intuition
"Follow your heart, your intuition. It will lead you in the right direction. Let go your mind, your intuition. It's easy to find, just follow your heart baby."
-This one seems pretty good, many of my friends come to me for advice. G-Spot calls me her relationship radar because I can read people well and can usually feel out a situation very well.
Do people secretly lust after me?
Korn - Got the Life (Josh Abraham Remix)
"Get your boogie on..."
- After about the fifth line of the song, it pauses and that line cuts in, is that a sign? I don't really know! heh
How can I make myself happy?
Shakespeare's Sister - Let Me Entertain You
"Don't you want to put your trust in, someone who's not ordinary. Don't you want to put your trust in someone like me."
-Yes I promise you this really was the fifth random song that played. I'm not sure what to think, it talks about a woman for hire, so maybe I need to find a prostitute? Then it talks about being loved as a star, so I need to get famous? The it asks if my soul is for hire, so, sell my soul? And the big question… WHO!?
What should I do with my life?
Garth Brooks - Rodeo
"It's bulls and blood, it's dust and mud. It's the roar of the Sunday crowd. It's the white in the knuckles, the gold in the buckle. He'll win the next go round. It's boots and chaps, it's cowboy hats. It's spurs and a lotta gold. It's the ropes and the reigns and the joy and the pain and they call the thing rodeo."
-Oh for crying out loud. All this time and money I've spent studying to be an Aerospace engineer and all the while I should have been learning to ride Broncs and Bulls? Dammit! These things need to make up their mind, that stupid aptitude test way back in school said I should be a surgeon. Arg, ok, where's the nearest ranch.
Will I ever have children?
Aerosmith - Livin on the Edge
"Livin on the edge, you can't help yourself from falling. Livin on the edge, you can't help yourself at all."
-So, it's iffy then? Damn you Musical 8-Ball, be more specific!
What is some good advice for me?
Faith No More - From Out of Nowhere
"One minute here and one minute there, Don’t know if I’ll laugh or cry. One minute here and one minute there, And then you wave good-bye..."
-So, umm, I should travel then?
How will I be remembered?
Aerosmith - Kings and Queens
"Living times of knights and mares, raising swords for maidens fair, sneer at death, fear only loss of pride. Living other centuries."
-YES!!! I knew it! I will be king!!! :O)
What is my signature dancing song?
Michael Jackson - Thriller
"You try to scream, but terror takes the sound before you make it. You start to freeze, as horror looks you right between the eyes, your paralyzed. Cause this is thriller!"
-Who didn't try to learn the zombie dance from this video? Come on, stop denying it. You know you did. And try to laugh like Vincent Price at the end. Mwahh HA HA HA!!!
What do I think my current theme song is?
Anastasia and John - So Sad
"I wouldn't change you. I just think it's strange you prefer to be, so sad. And if I can help you I will. Maybe just stay here until you no long feel, so bad."
-Ok, I don't think I like this anymore. :-P
What does everyone else think my current theme song is?
Prince - Sexy M.F.
"We need 2 talk about things. Tell me what cha do, tell me what cha eat, I might cook 4 u. See it really don't matter cuz it's all about me and u, Ain't no one else around. I'm even with the blindfold, gagged and bound. I don't mind. See this ain't about sex, It's all about love being in charge of this life, And the next..."
-HA. Ha ha ha ha. Ha. Ha. Oh that's good. Ha. Lemme just chuckle this one off for a bit. iTunes, I love you. Way to make up for that last one. Hehe.
What song will play at my funeral?
Disturbed - Violence Fetish
"How do you live without playing the game. Sit on the side and expect to keep sane. Step right up and be a part of the action. Come get a piece of it before it's too late."
-Man, I hope not. But, I guess it's not too bad since it's talking about taking action and I usually don't have too much problem stepping up…?
What type of men/women do you like?
Method Man - The Riddler
"I got your mind twisted. Unrealistic wavelength draining on your brain-strip inflicted. Crosswords puzzling your self. Questioning your own mental health (yeah) it's like a maze within itself"
-You know, this one's pretty true as well. I'm not a fan of books you get the full content of just by reading the jacket. Gotta have some intrigue.
What is my day going to be like?
Chicago - Love Me Tomorrow
"Love me tomorrow, won't you please, promise me. Love me tomorrow like today. Love me tomorrow, hurry back, can't you see. I need you much more than yesterday."
-This isn't in reference to any woman I know of, so it must be about all of you! So, will you still love me tomorrow? :O)
