Press PLAY....Randomly

I have 1390 songs on my iPod....it's almost 6 gigs of music....if I let it run continuously it wouldn't stop playing music for over 4 days!!!

I spent 3 years of my 20's working for Sam Goody, remember Sam Goody? There aren't very many locations left on the West Coast, let alone in Texas. Anyway, while working there I was exposed to a lot of different types of music, including music that I didn't particularly care for. I can't tell you how many times I listened to Garth Brooks'
Ropin' the Wind....that album drove me crazy!! But ya know what?? He was HOT at the time and we had to play music to bring people into the store.

Another thing that broadened my musical scope was living in Singapore....there are musicians that are soooo BIG and popular ALL OVER THE WORLD....except here in the states....for whatever reason they just don't catch on here (or they don't get radio air play here).

In my collection now I have: Jazz, Hip Hop, Alternative, Top 40, Kid's Stuff, Country, Swing, Classical, Rock and I'm sure there are other types.

I thought I put the iPod on SHUFFLE SONGS and am going to list the first 10 songs that it plays.

So without further ado....here they are:

(01) DAUGHTERS / John Mayer

(02)
MISERY BUSINESS / Paramore

(03)
GOOD AS GONE / Little Big Town

(04)
LITTLE BY LITTLE / Oasis

(05)
FEED THE BIRDS / Mary Poppins Soundtrack

(06)
NOTHING (HEADCLEANR ROCK MIX) / Depeche Mode

(07)
AXIS BOLD AS LOVE / Jimi Hendrix

(08)
RADIO / Robbie Williams

(09)
NAIVE / The Kooks

(10)
KILLING ME SOFTLY / The Fugees

Trust me, these are the first 10 that came up....I do have some embarrassing songs on there, they just didn't come up....THIS TIME!

I'm thinking about making this a regular thing on the blog, what do you think?

In the meantime....it's your turn!! (No iPod needed)

If you have a digital music collection, go ahead and select RANDOM/SHUFFLE and list the first 10 that show up for you!! Leave your first 10 in the comments!

Resident Evil: Extinction

I've never seen any of the Resident Evil movies, nor have I played any of the video games. But in honor of it being the #1 movie last weekend....

She loves coffee....I do not.


How addicted to coffee are you?

Meet Invest 93

It seems like I've put more posts up here about storms than anything else, especially lately....but I guess when you move from Sunny SoCal to (what seems like the rain capitol of Texas) Houston.

So the newest storm that we are "tracking" has been named Invest 93....since it's just a storm and not a Tropical Depression or a Tropical Storm, nor a Hurricane.

It seems like the computer models are predicting that it'll move towards Louisiana or Alabama....only one model has it entering Texas. Even if it does enter Texas it'll move pretty far north of Houston.

Currently the storm is still raining on Florida, but once it hits the Gulf of Mexico, all bets are off.

All of the weather people here in town are waiting for this storm to hit the Gulf, so they can see what it's gonna do....until then all the local news folks are gonna continue to try and freak out viewers, with STORM WATCH!

If this does become a Tropical Depression or a Tropical Storm, or a Hurricane....it already has a name....JERRY!

José Out


Chelsea and José Mourinho have parted ways....

I'm curious....who's going to do the talking and complaining in the Premiership now?

Fashion designer Marc Ecko wants you to vote on the fate of Barry Bonds record breaking 756 home run ball....








....for the record, I voted to send it to the Hall of Fame, without the branding.

Addicted to Blogging

I found out about this quiz on another photographers blog....70% isn't THAT addicted, right?

The mingle2 site has a bunch of other quizzes on it too, so I may be posting some more results soon!

Twins AGAIN

If you've followed my blog for awhile you may remember this post. Where a colleague at work and I wore the same shirt to work on the same day.

Well....I've been avoiding this particular shirt for awhile, and decided I give it another shot and wore it yesterday....just so happens Tolu wore his shirt too!!

My boss actually mentioned to me...."Hey, I think Tolu is wearing that shirt too!" and then she started laughing!!

I think it's time for Tolu and I to come up with some kind of "Man Pact"....he is only allowed to wear his shirt on Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays and I can only wear it on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Maybe that'll work!
