Survey Deal Bop

I skifed this from Hannah- I'm all about reading into the music that I'm listening to. So there's that.

Instructions: Put your mp3 player or iTunes on shuffle mode. Ask yourself the question in bold. The song that pops up is the answer. Give it a try.

How does the world see me?
"Hard to Expain" the Strokes. Well I like to think that I'm complex, so that's a good answer

Will I have a happy life?
"I Am" Moving Units. Debatable- but maybe I'm just not realizing that I am.

What do my friends really think of me?
"Different but the Same" Ben Kweller. I'm different than everybody but still substantially normal?

What do strangers I meet think of me?
"Perfect Disguise" Modest Mouse. If they only knew what it was hiding...

How can I be happy?
"Gigantic" Pixies. I got this off of a snowboarding movie, so maybe I'm supposed to be at Snowbird? Or maybe I just need to be gigantic although I'm not sure how that happens.

What should I do with my life?
"Wonder" Natalie Merchant. Be a philosopher? My brain hurts just reading that.

Will I ever have children?
"Miss Delaney" Jack's Mannequin. 'It's biblical how f&*%ed my sleep can be
But she won't sleep with me'. So I'm guessing that's a 'not so much'?

What is some good advice for me?
"Goodbye My Lover" James Blunt.

'It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.

There's a couple ways I could take this.

How will I be remembered?
"Everything Will Be Alright" The Killers. In spite of the fact that I mess everything up?

What is my signature dancing song?
"The Love Below(Intro)" Outkast. Not actually a song... Just like I don't actually dance.

What do I think my current theme song is?
"When You're Around" Motion City Soundtrack. More like 'I can't f*&%ing stand it when you're NOT around'. But they didn't ask me.

What does everyone else think my current theme song is?
"I'm Really Hot" Missy Elliot. Well I am hot, so that makes sense.

What song will play at my funeral?
"One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces" by Ben Folds Five. Apparently they will get confused and bury a dwarf in my place. He'll be mad, but he could have a worse fate. At least there will be a lot of sad people at my funeral. It'd be sad to have a funeral like unto Scrooge's.

What type of women do I like?
"Back to Me" Nine Days. Yeah. Come back to me.

What is my day going to be like?
"Nebula" Incubus. Cloudy?

The President

I was wondering about stuff today. And it occurred to me that the president should tell the families of the soldiers killed personally of their loss. It shouldn't be that hard- there aren't that many. Maybe he does already, but if he doesn't- then he should. It's his decision that sent them in harm's way. It would mean a lot to me and I think it would mean a lot to a lot of people. It would show that he really does take the war seriously. Anyways- that's what I think. So there.

The News-Review - Frontpage

A Dutch multicultural group is organizing a soccer tournament between gays and Muslims, hoping to counter what a study published on Thursday said was a rising tide of fear among gays.

Muslim-gay tension is the theme of the soccer tournament organized by the Institute of Multicultural Development, to be held next week.

An organizer of the group, Suzanne Ijsselmuiden, said she hoped the competition will 'help ease these tensions so that people can openly talk about homosexuality.'
