yet another musical meme

i've actually been tagged this time instead of my normal thievery.
i've been meaning to write something of substance, but i've actually had too much on my mind to write it down and actually have it make sense.
so...
another meme it is then.

quick sidebar tho: an oppurtunity may have presented itself that would land me in la la land next week. but responsibility is currently slapping me in the face, and both the realization of the coming winter and the necessities involved with the coming winter (i.e. new tires and a tune up for the whip, and a nice coat and gloves.) is doing the same... only harder.
so.
i dunno.
i'm trying to be spontaneous...but its so hard.

Rules:
1. Put your itunes/music player on shuffle
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER WHAT
After you’ve answered all of the questions, tag 5 other people and then let them know they’ve been tagged to do the meme themselves!

i needed to share

these are the shoes of life...



and i dont understand how musiq went from this...



to this...



i don't know how i feel about "new and improved" musiq.
seems like everybody is making the leap over to pop culture/music
first david banner...
now this.

BOO.

well

school's starting next week
my back is a constant source of excitement and new,
since a new ache and/or pain seems to pop up daily.
my "tips to end nicotine dependency" class was cancelled for today,
possibly to be rescheduled in dec

*lights up newport until dec*

so... i have a lot going on for some reason right now.

...calgon take me away.

this is helping me cope for some reason



i think its cause of kanye's killer dance moves.

the bliss questionnaire

recently a friend and i were having a conversation about our life goals, and what we thought would make happy. and she forwarded this to me. i've been trying to write this for awhile...well since last night. but i haven't been able to concentrate. i can now...

...i share things now. it helps me to feel better. i've kept things bottled up for a long time, and it feels good to let my emotions out. plus, somewhere deep inside me i believe that for this to actually happen, i have to share. at least some of it.

so...

what do you have on desire?

peace of mind. a home of my own. a place where i feel completely at ease...completely at peace. some place warm and open. i desire to be self-reliant. to be comfortable with myself, no matter what size i may be, how i might look.
to be able to say "fuck it" and actually mean it. strength, courage and wisdom. an (authentic) angela davis poster. well, maybe two so i can give my mom one. true love. happiness. respect for others without compromising respect of self.
to finish school, get my masters degree and actually use it. to publish something; either poetry or a non fiction. a good night's sleep.

what do you want to feel like?

imagine being home alone. i don't mean that you live alone, you're home alone since everyone else that lives with you is gone. when i say everyone, i'm not referring to roommates either. i mean someone with authority, someone with the capability to halt all future plans that could involve consumption of any kind, or explicit activity that might take place.
imagine them packing bags, and being gone for awhile.
*sigh*
i want to feel that...all the time.


what kind of conversations do you want to be having with people around you?

intelligent ones where quoting gibran is the norm. the kind of conversations that begin and end with laughter, and are filled with memories and promises of good things to come.

what do you want to be doing with your days?

write. relax. sip cold drinks on hot sands. see the sights. live my life like its golden. travel. see old friends and introduce them to new ones. make new friends.
read good books.


what do you want to do with your nights?

write. relax. see the stars over paris, rome and japan. let happy hour at bump turn into shots at copa's. spoon with someone that smells good.

if you could have it anyway you wanted it...what would it look like?

contentment. being able to breathe easy and know that everyone i loved was taken care of. feeling comfortable with moving to a new city and spreading my wings. i'd be open to change, and willing to accept it. i'd have someone important reading my work, and appreciating it for what it is. i'd be fresh to death, dressed like a million bucks...all day, everyday. manolo and louboutin would know my shoe size in their sleep. fluent in japanese, mastering french and starting on spanish. i'd have someone to love me, either platonic or romantic...someone to love me exactly for who i am and not expect me to change. i would feel confident in myself, all the time without fail. i would never feel inferior, or like i didnt matter, or measure up. i would believe in me and be my own cheerleader. i would FINALLY get my koi fish tattoo. deep, deep laughs from the bottom of my soul...everyday.

i'm bored/in pain @ work

i stole this from nay...

my back is killing me right now
so i can't actually concentrate long enough to write something plausible,
since everytime i try to do so,
searing pain shoots through my lower back.
add that to the tension settling in my neck and shoulders
and yup... you guessed it, i'm not really the happiest person right now.

so...

a musical meme


IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?
So, here’s how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, 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. Don’t lie and try to pretend you're cool…

Opening Credits:
musiq (soulchild), "don'tchange"
...i never really felt this song like that. i think it was cause of the way musiq looked in the old guy makeup. he looked like how grandpa smurf SHOULD look. ...gross.

Waking Up:
*nsync, "no strings attached"
ha. a pop locking joey fatone should wake anyone up.

First Day At School:
112, "anywhere interlude"
um... so not school appropriate.

Falling In Love:
wu tang clan, "method man"
"i got myself a 40/i got myself a shortie/and i'm about to go and stick it"

Fight Song:
troop, "all i do is think of you"
okay, so... fight song and falling in love should switch.

Breaking Up:
bob markley, "get up stand up"
damn straight.

Prom:
random reggae artist (my bad, don't know the name), "me no like"
we used to do a whole bunch of naughty dancing to this song.
tee hee.

Life:
bizzie bone/jim jones, "twin towers"
i've never even heard this song before.
maybe i should listen to it now.
bizzie bone scares me tho...

Mental Breakdown:
usher, "think of you"
"all i do is think of you/holding on to someone new/don't make me lose my mind


Driving:
mary j blige, "our love"


Flashback:
loon/mario winas, "how i made it"
damn straight.

Getting Back Together:
masta ace inc., "born to roll"


Wedding:
paula abdul, "vibeology"
LMAO!

Birth of Child:
queen, "another one bites the dust"
umm...


Final Battle:
snoop, "losin control"
i've never heard this before either, but its ironic that its on the last meal album.

Death Scene:
r. kelly, "thank god its friday"


Funeral Song:
lumidee, "for keeps"
i could really make a joke right now, but i won't.


End Credits:
faith evans, "sunny days"

i think i want a do-over.

things that i need to do:

-clean my room. i mean, i STILL can't find the debit card that i lost around here like 2 weeks ago. yeah...it's been about that long. i finally just gave up on finding it and went to get a new one.

-throw away some of this miscellanous crap that i have stockpiled in said room. maybe if i went through it, my room would stay clean/organized longer. there is no reason for me to still have all the original issues of BLAZE magazine. *sheesh*

-act as if i have some sense.

-prepare myself for the looming dark cloud that is the fall semester. between books and the potential group work, i'm surprised i havent started screaming yet.

-buy the 160gig ipod. i dont need it. but i really, REALLY want one. i know i'll never fill it. but i wanna try.


-find the boots that i saw in dsw over the weekend. i can't even describe the fabolousness of these knee boots. first off, i NEVER find knee boots that i both like and can fit in the calf muscle area. not only do i love the shoe, but i can fit it all the way up the leg AND they're comfortable. i'm trying to think of what is more important: bills or boots. i'll get back to you with my answer.

i need to get ready for work in the morning. even tho... well you already know.

p.s. why are these fugly boots on the web, but i can't find mind??
hmm??



gross.
