Musical Thing.....

I started doing this the other day (yes, I know, my life is terribly exciting:), and it was kind of funny.

If you're so inclined or super-bored at work and have your ipod, here's what you do:

1. Open your music library (iTunes, Winamp, etc.)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Lather, rinse, repeat ...

Opening Credits: "Better Be Good to Me" -- Tina Turner

Birth: "25 Minutes to Go" -- Pearl Jam

School: "Ace in the Hole" --George Strait (I did not put this in my itunes! Must be compliments of Donatello)

Driving Theme: "Black" -- Pete Yorn

Prom: "Deeper & Deeper (David's Klub Mix)" --Madonna

Graduation: "When We Recovered" -- Toad the Wet Sproket

Falling In Love: "No Scrubs" -- TLC

Fight Scene: "River Kwai March" (It's the whistling like song that kids march to at camp; I remember it from Parent Trap.)

Breaking Up: "Desperado" -- Clint Black

Life: "On the Way Down" -- Ryan Cabrera

Mental Breakdown: "Somebody Told Me" -- The Killers

Wedding: "Who Wouldn't Want to Be Me?" -- Keith Urban

Divorce: "40 oz. to Freedom" -- Sublime (Isn't it sad that this is just naturally in here?)

Flashback: "In Between Days" -- The Cure

Birth of Child: "Highway to Hell" -- AC/DC I didn't like this, so I pushed shuffle again and came up with a track from Bach's Brandenburg Concerto--much better.

Final Battle: "99%" --Soul Ayslum

Moment of Triumph: "A Better Man" -- Clint Black

Work: "Spaceship" --Angie Aparo

Death: "Hands Up" -- Black Eyed Peas

End Credits: "Joyride" -- Oleander

On an unrelated note and for those of you who remember the discussion about whether age is just a number when it comes to dating, I met the 24 year old at a party recently. He seemed nice and was cute, and I can see why my friend Kate wanted us to meet. He's evidently been dating someone though (although I've heard that has recently ended). He definitely appeared younger. We only talked for a few minutes, and no sparks flew. However, he does fall into the "if his personality clicks with mine, I could find him very attractive" category. Most of the guys I've dated have been in that category.

So who gets a three day weekend? Unfortunately I do not. Oh, Billy Bob told me that if he got MLK day off (he doesn't), he would refuse to take it because he basically doesn't think it's something that should be celebrated (he actually said something a lot worse but you get the idea). Ridiculous. But as I mentioned, I'm going to be baptized this weekend AND my mom, great-aunt, sister, and nieces are coming. FUN! I am excited.

I don't own an Ipod, so I can't participate in that shuffle thing. You own way too much Clint Black. You know he's a High School drop out from Katy, Texas. Gotta make us Texans proud.

Congrats on the baptism. That is wonderful.

What kinda law firm doesn't take MLK day off? Yikes. I mean out of pure political correctness.....

I will be working 9-5 (if only, but you get the picture) come this Monday.

A couple years back, we didn't get MLK off. Instead, there was an optional viewing of a documentary on MLK which was being shown during our lunch break. How lame is that?

We've gotten ever MLK day off since then.

Age is just a number it is maturity and the connection you have that matter.

Ally said...

Croaker: I guess age and immaturity sometimes correlate, but in large part, I agree with you.

Ella: That's ridiculous. They should have asked you guys to organize a parade down the hallway during your coffee break too.

e.b.: I totally understand.

Allen: Welcome! I love Chris Tomlin.

Billy: I agree that it's crazy, but our firm is certainly not alone. And I didn't put any of that Clint Black on my itunes; my ex must have.

Aaron: I love the verses you set out; it's funny how some of the songs just fit perfectly.

I love that you have Oleander on your iPod. Fun list...

megabrooke said...

Cool idea:) Maybe I'll post about this soon- it's something different and I like that. Besides, I need something to take my mind off of things.
Congratulations on your baptism this weekend! That's wonderful. Enjoy the time with your family, Happy Friday.

Allen Madding said...

TY for the welcome. I love Chris Tomlin's music too...my Ipod is crammed with it. Congrats on the baptism that is awesome.

Unknown said...

I can't believe you were at a party with him and didn't make the most common of small talk to find out if he has seen "Swingers" or not!!!

Ally said...

Jeff: I totally let that ball drop! Sorry. I'll get my friend to ask:)

Allen: Thanks!

Brookem: It's nice to do mindless stuff like that sometimes.

Ryane: I've been a fan for years!

Kimberly: I love your death song. I want my funeral to be a celebration, and salsa would be one way to do it. Also, I can't help it--I want to see that dance!
