Wednesday Wist
Wednesday, October 26, 2005As is standard practice in the blog world, people take ideas from other people and keep using them over and over, and putting their own flair on it. Such is the case here with the Wednesday Wist. I copied the idea from Amy, she most likely stole it from elsewhere. New ideas are hard to find in the blogosphere, be long live the good ones!
Anyway, onto the Wist.
So how do you participate in Wednesday Wist? You take whatever music player you use. Put it on shuffle. Grab the first 5 songs and write what that song makes you remember. If it's a new song...and you can't relate it to a memory....do you like it? Leave a comment if you do it on your site and if you don't have a site, comment what you would leave if you did have one. Oh...and feel free to comment about my songs as well!!!
1. Five for Fighting - Superman:
This song makes me think of lots of things. Basically it makes me think of everytime I was in a situation where I felt I was doing everything I could do and it just didn't seem to be enough. The biggest of the time it makes me think of is the part right up to the time I ended up getting suspended from College. I hadn't learned yet how to deal with the ADD and things were spinning out of control. Seemed like the harder I tried to fix things the worse they got. Ended up getting incredibly sick with sinus, ear, throat and bronchial infections at the same time.
2. Weird Al Yankovich - Star Wars (The Saga Begins):
In the tune of American Pie, this song is great:
"Oh my, my, this here Aniekan guy,
May be Vader sometime later, now he's just a small fry.
Now he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye,
Sayin' soon I'm gonna be a Jedi,
Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi..."
this one makes me think of getting to see Star Wars - Episode I the midnight before the midnight that everyone else got to see it.
3. The White Stripes - We're Going to Be Friends:
This one reminds me of Orientation Girl. When we met we got along instantly and I'm fairly sure we both knew we were going to be friends.
"We sit side by side in every class.."
Yeah, that was us. We did indeed schedule all of our classes together and then proceeded to pass a notebook back and forth instead of paying full attention. Ah yeah, we had fun.
4. Extreme - More Than Words:
I don't really get a memory with this one, but I definitely do agree with the song. Word are words, they're nice, it's easy to say something you don't mean. Love is most definitely more than just saying it.
5. Roxette - Listen to Your Heart:
Apparently it's "Relationship and life Advice Day" on My MP3 player. Well, except for the Weird Al. That was just fun. Unless The Force is real and that really did happen in a long time ago in a place far far away...? Ok so who doesn't need this advice? You should always listen to it, though I'm not so sure you should always trust it. Who can't take this and apply it to at least one relationship in their life?
Anyway, there you go, the Wednesday Wist is toast. And in case you're wondering, #6 is now Bobby Brown's "My Perogative." hehe.
Later peoples!

I always love seeing what other people listen to. talk about time warp throw-back... some of the songs reminded me of high school and first year of college. but that's cool.... good times.
I've been in a radio kick for a while lately... but that's because I've been listening to my CD player for the past 6 months or so... thought it was time to find out what else is out there.
anyways.. happy hump day.... -

For the record, "Pretty Fly for a Jedi" is hilarious, too! (I just listened to it for the first time last night while trying to hunt up the other star wars/wierd al tune)

First let me say I love this idea, so my compliments to Amy. I'm obsessed with randomly playing my mp3s. I didn't know about those Weird Al songs--I HAVE TO HAVE THEM! Now I'll be surfing the net all night...oh wait, I guess I do that already anyway. And I also saw Ep 1 the midnight before the midnight everyone else saw it, and stayed up until sunrise complaining about it. I am such a geek. Chief Slacker, thanks for stopping by my site!
