memes
Just putting off getting stuff ready for work tomorrow... Blech.
Don't remember where I got the links from but here are two memes.
HowManyOfMe.com
There are:
255
people with my name
in the U.S.A.
How many have your name?
Interesting tidbit is this:
BRANDON:
* There are 392,959 people in the U.S. with the first name Brandon.
* Statistically the 142nd most popular first name.
* 99.24 percent of people with the first name Brandon are male.
SHAW:
* There are 194,980 people in the U.S. with the last name Shaw.
* Statistically the 142nd most popular last name. (tied with 4 other last names)
* Famous people with the last name Shaw:
o Fiona Shaw
o Robert Shaw
if(PopularityOf(Self.firstName) == PopularityOf(Self.lastName)) print "Not bad, mom and dad."
> Not bad, mom and dad.
And trying to keep my geek music cred, I present meme #2:
Open your playlist, and choose songs that start with each letter of your username. The songs have to mean something to you. Don't just pick a song because it starts with a letter in your username. Post the list to your journal. If you want you can explain why the songs are important to you, but it's not required...
S-- "Simple Man" by Shinedown [I wrote off this band until I heard this song; now I am a fan]
T-- "The Impression That I Get" by the Bosstones [Boston, REPRESENT!]
E-- "E Menina" by Sergio Mendes [got this CD yesterday; review to come]
A-- "A Small Victory" by Faith No More [definitely an under-appreciated band from the '90's]
M-- "Mary Had A Little Lamb" by Stevie Ray Vaughan [reminds my of car-rides with my dad]
P-- "Plush" by Stone Temple Pilots [former audition peice]
U-- "Uptown Odyssey" by Ruckus [Therence DeClouet (vocals) is unbelieveable]
N-- "Not Property" by Emptyhead [Portland (ME), REPRESENT! So hard to find this song, too...]
K-- "Konayuki" by Remioromen [recently, my token Japanese karaoke song]
P-- "Pagan Poetry" by Björk [Vespertine happens to be one of my favorite albums ever]
I-- "In My Heart" by Moby [Depression Sufferer's Mantra: "Lord, I want/ To be up/ In my heart"]
R-- "Rain King" by the Counting Crows [just because I have 5 unique copies of it on my playlist]
A-- "After the Tornado" by Jim's Big Ego [first song I ever "wrote" was an arrangement of this]
T-- "Touched" by VAST [John Crosby (vocals, lead guitar, songwriter, etc.) is GOD]
E-- "Elias" by Dispatch [It'd be hard to find a indie band get a crowd going like these guys]
