shuffle me crazy!
it's all in the mix
[because it's more exciting to switch it up, right?!]
since i was still pretty sick today i worked from home again...and had the luxury of actually signing for my own fedex package! i got my ipod shuffle today...i was boring and got silver but i figured hey--let's just get back to the basics for a little. so i randomly loaded up my shuffle with songs, clipped it my sweater, and started on what was a relatively exciting journey (need i remind you i was working from home, sick).
some people hate the ipod shuffle because you don't know what song you're listening to and you cant control playlists and whatnot...but i think that's the beauty of the shuffle. if you randomly load it up and let it do its thing, you'll never know what'll come up next. it's always a surprise--and the things that come up will definitely bring you back a couple of years or just have you think..wtf?? or if you're like me you'll be all happy when a random song pops up. some songs that got me grinning today:
+112-cupid
+shakira - dia especial
+peter griffins rendition of rock lobster
anyway, there's bound to be a couple songs that will just get you thinking...good times...
and so i thought, since i've been thinking about a lot of things lately, that this is what i need. i think i get fixated on certain aspects of my life, and i try to plan things around them. like my playlists--sometimes i get pretty anal and spend so much time on them making sure that the songs go together and exude a certain mood or feel...and then i listen to the same thing too much. with the shuffle i'll just listen to what happens to come up, and if i don't really like it i'll just pass.
so, i think i should maybe give the shuffle approach a try in life. i've always been one to say yes to new opportunities and getting to know new people, but i shouldn't try to bank on a certain song coming up in the next hour or expect to have consistent fluidity in this playlist of mine.
