So I should be working on my project, or writing, or something. I'm not.
Instead, I did the "ipod i ching" which I stole from someone and then forgot about.
Set your MP3 player to shuffle and figure out how to solve your problems!
Song 1 The problem at hand: Beautiful - Moby
Sample lyric: Look at us, we're beautiful
All the people push and pull
But they'll never get inside
We've got too much to hide
Interpretation: I'm feeling pressured and in need of privacy at work. In other words: The fucking name tag issue is still being 'discussed' by the trustees.
Song 2 Your feelings about same: Run Rabbit Junk - Yoko Kanno/ HIDE
Sample lyric: (Tricky, since I can barely make them out)
you're makin' me
mad enough, sir
boom, boom
you are done, sir
Interpretation: I'm pissed and ready to tell someone off. Or shoot someone. Not sure, but hey, that fits with song 5!
Song 3 The environment in which you operate: Give Me The Words (Touch Me) - Rising Star vs. Shane 54
Sample lyric: Give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing.
Interpretation: I work in an environment full of meaningless chatter from my superiors.
Song 4 Immediate action to be taken: Hook - Blues Traveller
Sample lyric: If I'm doin' my job
It's your resolve that breaks
(alternately: There is something amiss
I am being insincere
In fact, I don't mean any of this)
(alternately again: I wanna bust all your balloons
I wanna burn all of your cities to the ground
I've found
I will not mess around)
Interpretation: Well, I could just smile and fake it all, or I could burn the library down, but both of those would be wrong so I should just stand firm on the issue and hold my ground.
Song 5 Likely outcome: Fett's 'Vette - MC Chris
Sample lyric: I'm a devious degenerate defender of the devil
Shut down all the trash compactors on the detention level!
Interpretation: I will quit my job and become an intergalactic bounty hunter with a bitchin' ride.
Rock on.
