30 Days of Me: Day 11 – Music Shuffle

Day 11 – Put your iPod on shuffle and write the first 10 songs that pop up

I don’t own an iPod but I do have an mp3 player. There’s no shuffle option so I figured I would just turned it on, and list the first 10 songs that played. Unfortunately, the batteries have died and I don’t have any more AAA batteries. So, what do I do?  Youtube to the rescue.  I hit the Browse button, then Music and the following were the top 10 songs:

Super Bass – Nicki Minaj:  Who on earth figured that was a good shade of lipstick for her?  Also, do you think “they” are real? ;)

 

Someone Like You – Adele:  Cute song but kinda depressing. I can’t imagine being so needy to actually show up basically begging one’s ex…but that’s just me.

 

Cheers – Rihanna:  “Life’s too short to sit around miserable” – a woman after my heart! But I’m biased because I like Rihanna.

 

Party Rock Anthem – Lauren Bennett, GoonRock:  I like this song, but I don’t like the strange higher pitch electronic beat. When I hear it on the radio, I listen to about half  of it, then change stations at the electronic beat after the “Shuffling, shuffling”. Video has a weird acting component in the beginning.  

 

Last Friday Night (TGIF) – Katy Perry:  Ahh, the days of big hair, fluorescent colours, braces and Kenny G.  Those were the days.

 

Danza Kuduro – Don Imar ft. Lucenzo:  The old “have tons of gorgeous women in skimpy bathing suits laying about” trick…gotta love it.  Having said that, I couldn’t sit still with this one…even though I didn’t understand a word of it. ;)

 

Gucci Gucci – Kreayshawn:  One would think with the title of “Gucci Gucci”, that there would be equivalent class to the song, or perhaps that’s the point. Hmmm.  Strangely though, there’s a decent beat to this one.

 

Rain Over Me – Pitbull ft Marc Anthony:  Don’t think I’ve heard this song in its entirety before but I like it!  Those latino men know how to put a song together!

 

Rolling in the Deep – Adele:   Not sure how the symbolism in the video relates to the song, but I always turn the volume up when it’s on the radio.  One question…how long did it take to set up the shots of the half empty/half full glasses?

 

The Lazy Song – Bruno Mars:   I liked this song, then I saw the video a few months ago and I loved it after that! Who wouldn’t love sunglass-wearing, singing, dancing and whistling monkeys?

 

What’s your music shuffle?

 

My “Understanding” of Current Events

 

 

 

Being a SAHM to 6 year old twins can be a bit isolating, especially when we just moved back to the family farm and one of my twins has Autism.  Having said that, one always needs to find humour or the positive in every situation so I thought I would share with the world my interpretation on current events.  Please note, pretty much the only sources of information for me is Facebook, Twitter, a music radio station we listen to in the car, and kids’ shows.  So, here are my ramblings without Googling the items first…

 

PRE-GOOGLING

Norway – with the greatest respect, I know something horrible has happened but, couldn’t tell you any details other than people have died. 

 

RIM is laying off 2,000 people – so many families affected…wait, how big is this company?  Crap, I just upgraded to a Blackberry.

 

US Debt – ummm…how is this “news”?  Haven’t they always been in debt?

 

Somalia – what’s going on? I’m guessing it’s related to famine or AIDS.  Either way, it can’t be good.

 

Ontario weather – I’ve stopped checking the daily weather report.  It’s hot.  Hotter than hell.  High temperature plus humidity makes it about ten million.  Glad I have naturally straight hair.  Sorry curly or wavy haired girls…

 

Amy Winehouse died – too bad.  So young. Unfortunately, with the amount of partying she did, I’m not all that surprised…wait, how many times has she been in rehab?  Didn’t help her apparently.

 

Fabio has become the new Old Spice guy – he’s alive? I really need to see this!!

 

JLo & Marc Anthony split up – oh no! Another fellow family with twins bites the dust. So sad.

 

POST – GOOGLING

Oh Gawd.  I suck.  I really need to start paying more attention to the world outside of our little family but…wait, excuse me while I stop my son from pulling at the blinds again, and my daughter from climbing on the back of the couch again

 

However, I gave myself a little pat on the back this morning to discover that I was already following all but 3 of this week’s 20 Mommy Bloggers List from SweetSpot.ca.

 

I know. I need to get out more often.
