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.

i wonder what will come up next ;p

+ need to stop..making..plans..dammit
+ ok cpa tests in april for SURE

"get down on your knees whisper what i need something pretty i feel that when i'm old i'll look at you and know the world is beautiful then you tell me you say that love goes anywhere in your darkest time it's just enough to know it's there when you go i'll let you be but you're killing everything in me"
