the smack factor

Oh Mrs. Twink. Why do you do this to me? I see something like this and I have to do it. I shall be using Winamp.

Rules:

1. Put Your itunes/ music player on Shuffle
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER WHAT

I would like to point out that this is a combo of mine and Factor’s music since I don’t have my own laptop… that’s the only disclaimer I can give. OH, and some of Danny’s so if Nickelback comes on, I am not responsible.

doin it:

IF SOMEONE SAYS “IS THIS OKAY” YOU SAY?
“Cassandra” The Mars Volta
ok, this just sounds chaotic, so usually when someone says “is this OK”, I probably think a million thoughts, mostly overanalyzing and wondering what they really want to know… and also wondering why they can’t just decide and be confident in their own decision. Take ownership, don’t place the onus on me. Onus!

WHAT WOULD BEST DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONALITY?
“Revisited” O.A.R
wow. I hate O.A.R, but nothing could be closer to the truth. I have unzipped, scrapped, broken down (borken), rebuilt, and revisited who the hell I a, my personality, others’ perceptions of my personality, and how I really want to be now and onward since I was canned. Canned with eligibility for rehire, so there. Anyway, yeah. wow.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE IN A GUY/GIRL?
“Hope is…” Killswitch engage
And another wow. If you’re familiar with this song/band, they’re a little metal screamy. Which is what I like in a my guy. Loud, full of energy, the past of a bad kid and the present of a loving little turd, which is why I like the contraditory sort of title. And I’m listening to the lyrics… what I can understand… and it’s pretty apropos. Hope is not lost. I mean, I had to think that every day with every douchebag dismissed.

HOW DO YOU FEEL TODAY?
“I will be heard” Hatebreed
Ok. This is creepy as hell. Obvi, we’re in Factor’s music library. “I’ve got to take my life back, one chacne to make it right, I’ve got to make my voice heard, bring meaning to this life”? Uh, who knew these screaming meemies said anything meaningful. I think that when I join the gym, this is going to be my anthem. “Now is the time for me to rise to my fate?” UH YEAH! Holy CRAP.

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE’S PURPOSE?
“existentialism” - Straylight Run
Hello everyone, I’m going to check into an institution now because this is creeping the hell out of me. I SWEAR I am not making this stuff up.

WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO?
“Party Time People” Prophet Omega
I think the average Joe would interpret this as me being a party people. But guess what, I’m not, I’m a homebody. I passed up being a +1 to a metal show so i could make turkey meatballs (that eventually almost killed me and Factor). However, I like to surround myself with people who are full of life and energy. Party time, people.

WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS THINK OF YOU?
“Entropy” DJ Shadow
1. Thermodynamics.
a. (on a macroscopic scale) a function of thermodynamic variables, as temperature, pressure, or composition, that is a measure of the energy that is not available for work during a thermodynamic process. A closed system evolves toward a state of maximum entropy.
b. (in statistical mechanics) a measure of the randomness of the microscopic constituents of a thermodynamic system. Symbol: S
2. (in data transmission and information theory) a measure of the loss of information in a transmitted signal or message.
3. (in cosmology) a hypothetical tendency for the universe to attain a state of maximum homogeneity in which all matter is at a uniform temperature (heat death).
4. a doctrine of inevitable social decline and degeneration.

Sounds about right.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR PARENTS?

“one night stand” - Dane Cook
It might as well have been. I like to think that’s how it all worked out. One and done.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT VERY OFTEN?
“Slow Country” Gorillaz
100% true. And as I’m getting older and wanting to sort of get more settley and not pay f ing rent, you bet my mind wanders to the ‘burbs, whichis what us city folk refer to as “slow country”. I do think about my hometown a lot too, and how I hope my little sister breaks out of there and discovers all the life and diversity and opportunity in the world.

WHAT IS 2+2?
“Forever” Ben Harper
Obviously, this answer is erroneous. But if we want to get all philosophical and existentialist…

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR BEST FRIEND?
“I hate to see you cry” Ben Gibbard
I have goosebumps. Factor is my bestie and being the guarded emotion boy that he is, it would absolutely crush me to see him cry. If something or someone could hurt him or an event could break him like that… eesh, I don’t even like to think about it.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE PERSON YOU LIKE?
“Ocean Breathes Salty” - Modest Mouse
I won’t analyse the lyrics, because my first thought here is Ocean City! And when I think of Factor I think of how I love being a faux townie redneck in Ocean City, MD with him.

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE STORY?
“Don’t know what you got, til it’s gone” - from Monster Ballads, you know the artist
I’m a terrible friend. I really am. It’s like once the proximity is gone, I don’tkeep in great touch. And while this is probably meaningless to some, I think about those friends every freakin’ day. And when I’m having a shit day when I’m down and out and feeling crap, I wish I could just call them and be like “yo, today is grating me cheese-like.” But I can’t, because I haven’t kept that line open. So Gayle, Meggy, Sarah, Keri… I always think abuot you and miss your friendship and love you!

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?
“perseverence” - Hatebreed
I’m sayin’

WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU SEE THE PERSON YOU LIKE?
HAHAHAhHAHAHAHA “Hangnail” Nickelback
Well, it’s definitely one of the things I think of when I see FActor. the guy has an OCD problem with the skin around his nails.

WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK OF YOU?
“P.S” - Film School
Ok, let’s get therapist on that ass. Because I am not really the emotionally troubled child, I’ve been more of a “PS” growning up, rather than the body of the letter. Yes, it does still bother me. But my sister Tracy said to me once “see it as a good thing that you DON’T need special attention”. I try to remember that. (PS, MB, not talking about you :-))

WHAT WILL YOU DANCE TO AT YOUR WEDDING?
“The fake sound of progress” - Lostprophets
Anyone who knows me knows my personal opinion of marriage. Obviously, there are many exceptions - and actually recently I have seen marriages that I know are not the fake sound of progress, but the living definition of why.

WHAT WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL?
“Full Color Guilt” Boy Sets Fire
No doubt! And not guilt over things I should have done, but probably guilt over things I DID do

WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY/INTEREST?
“Roses from my friends” - Ben Harper
I would like to think of this figuratively. Every piece of support and love that I get, even when I don’t deserve it and probably don’t give it back with the same intensity are like roses from my friends! Ps, i haven’t listened to the lyrics because I want to finish this meme! Hmmm, I just heard a lyric.. andI think it’s not what I was thinking… anyway!

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST SECRET?
“Rise River Rise” Corrosion of conformity
Obviously, I can’t tell you. I’m probably drowning in a river of secrets. Actually, again, very appropriate. If everyone knew everything about me, I’d be rendered unlovable to some.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR FRIENDS?
“on&on” - Film School
They’re unlimited. In personality and love and loyalty. And because Factor is still friends with people he went to kindergarten with, they truly go on and on.

WHAT SHOULD YOU POST THIS AS?
“ebin” - Sublime

Whatever the hell that means!

I’m not going to tag anyone to do this, but I’d be curious to see the coincidental musics of Ethan, Maria, Jessica, and Minnie.
