danger smells like clean socks

My music listening habits are quite amusing. I've never favored the use of playlists ... I'm more of a "pick a song when I feel like it" type. This, of course, leads to repetition when I'm busy working... in other words, I get deep into programming, so one song will stick on repeat on Winamp until I get REALLY tired of it.

My roommates cannot stand this (actually, I'm not really sure who can stand it besides me).

But the most interesting things happens when you subconsciously listen to a song for that long. You start examining the lyrics more seriously.

For example, I've been listening to Vanessa Carlton's "A Thousand Miles" right now and I'm remember a conversation I once had about how ludicrous this song is.

Let's look at a sample line: "I'd walk a thousand miles if I could just see you tonight."

This is obviously just a "line" Vanessa is singing to try to get into the pants of some poor schmuck. It's impossible to walk a thousand miles in one night. Maybe more realistically she could of said "I'd walk a hundred miles if I could see you tonight."

It's like saying "I'd buy you the biggest diamon ring if I were a billionaire." It's a nice gesture but means nothing!

NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok I'm not really sure what the purpose of this post is. I was trying to be funny, but I'm really not. I'll just go back and program some more.
