Daily Slacker: Audio-Visual EditionThe Daily Slacker

Moooooooooooooooosic!

Wednesday, May 10, 2006

So it's been a while since I did a real Magical Musical 8-ball Meme, and with all the uncertainty lately with life and my job, I could use the advice! So here goes:
 
How's it go? Basically I ask my Oracle (in my case iTunes) 10 questions. 5 are standard from week to week, and 5 are new for each week. The Oracle randomly selects a song as the answer to each of the questions... the interpretation is up to me though!
 
So here goes!
 

Standard:

How does the world see you this week?
Green Day - Geek Stink Breath
"I'm on a roll. No self control. I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine. Don't know what I want. That's all that I've got."
- Wow, iTunes, how kind of you. Not! Anyway I know I'm a geek, I have a blog for crying out loud! Anyone got a breath mint
?

Will I have a happy week?
Tom Petty - Free Fallin'
"Gonna free fall, out into nothing. Gonna leave this, world for a while. And I'm free, Free fallin."
- I really hope this means my week is going to be carefree and not that it's going to go into free fall!

Do people secretly lust after me this week?
White Zombie - More Human Than Human
"I
am the Astro-Creep a demolition style hell American Freak."
- Ok, if you have ever heard the opening to this song you'll know the beginning of it is all about lust heh. Hopefully they'll stop being secret ;O)

What should I do with my week?
Santana feat. Eric Clapton - The Calling
Not really any lyrics...
- Hmmm, so who am I supposed to call?

What do I think my theme song of the week is?
Paula Cole - Where have all the cowboys gone?
"
Oh you get me ready in your 56 chevy, Why don’t we go sit down in the shade. Take shelter on my front porch, The dandy lion sun scorching, Like a glass of cold lemonade?"
- A better question is: why should I care? Or is the message more in the lyrics? Should I be someone's John Wayne?

What kind of week will I have?
Van Halen - Why Can't This Be Love?
"
Oh, here it comes, that funny feeling again Winding me up inside every time we touch. Hey, I don't know. Oh tell me where to begin. 'Cause I never ever felt so much. And I Can't recall any love at all. Oh baby, this blows them all away."
- Oh no, not another one of those. Hmm, who;s she going to be though? I don't even have prospects....?

This week:

Should I get a new job or hope things work their way out here?
Prince - Pop Life
"
What’s the matter with your life, Is the poverty bringing u down? Is the mailman jerking u ’round? Did he put your million dollar check, In someone else’s box? "
- Damn skippy he did. I should find him and kick his ass. A guy in my building is a mailman though... hmm...?

Should I try out match.com again?
C+C Music Factory - Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)
"
Come on and dance guys grab a girl don't wait make the twirl. It's your world and I'm just a squirrel. Trying to get a nut to move your butt to the dance floor"
- Sounds a lot like and affirmative to me, time to get back out there and dance eh?

Will I be able to get the year old sidewalk project done this weekend?
Jackyl - Push Comes to Shove
"Push me on off the ledge, I'm standing with my toes hanging over the edge. I'm worried about a push coming down from above. I'm ready for you, when push comes to shove."
- So I'll be ready to do it then? Umm, huh?

Will the usual Wednesday Stub and Herb's trip finally happen this week?
Yes - State of Play
"
You can hear the siren screaming, Take me to the promised land. See the intervention, Take you higher and higher. See we are the giving world, We are responsible. We're not about to break."
- Play eh? so I guess that means it will happen. In fact I know I'll be going one way or another since I just made an appointment to go over kickball stuff for Stub and Herbs as well!

What should I watch out for this week?
Rod Stewart - Every picture Tells a Story
"
I couldn't quote you no Dickens, Shelley or Keats, 'cause it's all been said before. Make the best out of the bad just laugh it off. You didn't have to come here anyway. So remember, every picture tells a story don't it."
- Hmm.. so what incriminating picture does someone have?? hehe

Standard:

What kind of week will I have?

-Umm, iTunes, yeah, I kinda don't have one... or since you talk about meeting one earlier, does that mean I'll get one and then she'll be gone? Arg, not again... guess we'll see!

This Week:

Incubus - Drive
