A Scientific Study
Every Monday morning, I reluctantly get out of my bed to prepare for the new week.
Every new week brings new experiences, headaches, joys, and/or projectile vomiting.
While I may not be able to fully anticipate everything that the new week has to offer, I believe an estimate of sorts, a scientific study per se, can be made on the outcomes of the week to come.
My hypotheis: “The future events of any given week may be predicted through the song selections played in one’s car during the Monday morning drive to work.”
Being the brave man that I am, I chose to play randomly shuffled songs on my way to work today to start off my brand new week. Here’s the analysis:
1. Eminem feat. Nate Dogg - Shake That
Ah, reminents from the previous Saturday night. Always a good way to start off a week by remembering what I did the previous week. If all goes well, life will work its magic and come full circle for the upcomming Saturday.
2. Boyz II Men - 4 Seasons of Loneliness
This one brought back the memories, brought them way back. I believe it is a precursor to events that will remind me of the good old High School days. Maybe I’ll eat a $2 cheese pizza? Maybe I’ll go to the Cupertino Library? Maybe I’ll get thrown in a trash can? Oh the excitment!
3. Deep Blue Something - Breakfast at Tiffany’s
Around this time, I was contemplating turning off the shuffle feature as the selections were seemingly to get worse. However, I perservered and wanted to keep true to my science and trodded on. This behavior alone suggests that I will have to endure some pains (perhaps gay ones) this week, but I shall eventually overcome. Power to me!
4. Yellowcard - Ocean Avenue
See? Things are already getting better
5. Train - Drops of Jupiter
This song makes no sense. Singing about “the best soy latte you ever had” might be perfectly clear to some people, but not to me. Either way, it’s a nice soothing song, which relates directly to the nice soothing off Friday I will have this week.
6. Angels and Airwaves - The Adventure
One of my favorite songs right now. And look at the title. “The Adventure”. Wow. I don’t think it takes a rocket scientist to decipher this one here, but I’ll go out on a wild limb and guess that I will have an unexpected adventure this weekend. What could it be? The excitment is building!
7. Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone
Oh yeah, baby, that’s what I’m talking about! One could only ponder deeply and imagine the wonders I will see this weekend. An adventure of a lifetime I tell you! “The Adventure” into the “Danger Zone”! I can’t wait!
So there you have it, a detailed analysis through song and music on my entire week to come. Really, I don’t see how much more accurate this prediction can ever be. Now it’s just a matter of time for events to unfold before me.
Only thing I wonder though, is how retarded I looked driving into Lockheed’s campus, showing off my badge to the security guard, blasting “Danger Zone” on the stereo, and pretending that I was Maverick in my Honda Civic.
