This one's about music and hey, it's my 25th entry!
'Sup everybody? Not a whole hell of a lot around here. As eager as I've been to write something...anything, I haven't. Mainly because I'm laying low a little, and not much has been going on that I would post about. But it's my 25th post (any reason to celebrate will do *Smile* and in honor of my pal Julie D - PUBLISHED! gifting me with a Music MB for guessing the video she posted in her blog (and really, look over to the left and click her link, you won't be disappointed), I hereby declare that it's time for the inaugural (for this blog, at least) iPod SHUFFLE QUIZ!!!

(You know the rules....put your iPod, Zune or any other musical device of choice on shuffle and answer the questions with the song that comes up. If you're familiar with my previous blog, you'll know or remember.)

I have to admit I stole this from a friend's off-site blog that I was recently allowed access to, but I've added a twist to it...if they're available, I'll throw in links to each song. I know...I'm crazy interactive like that! *Smirk* I've got 14,000+ songs that could either love me or do me in, so here we go:

VITAL STATS:
*Bullet* My consensus is that the iPod failed me this time around. And I need some better questions.

*Bullet* Love me a day off once in awhile! That would be tomorrow. A weekend day spent recuperating from a strenuous job change just isn't enough. Even when I take time to make sure I work at my own pace (much to the chagrin of my employer). While I retain the mental capacity to talk about work and hockey-related things to my boss, I still can mock her. But my legs don't want to move like the kid I used to be when I was running a football over and around neighborhood lots. And my knees don't want to help me much anymore when I have to get low and then get back up.

That's it for me tonight, folks. Gonna plug in the links and add a coat of WDC ML paint, and I'm gone. Enjoy your independence, if you have some. Otherwise, I get the feeling this space will be closed on July 4th....if not for personal maintainence, probably something else I don't wanna do. GOODNIGHT NOW!
