The Shuffle Worldview

2008 October 20

I ride my bike to work.  Well, actually, I drive to my daughter’s school and then ride my bike from there to work.  Well, actually, we drive to a parking lot near her school, we walk to her school, and then I ride to work.  I’m kind of not into parent-drop-off-traffic.

Anyhoo.  I’ve recently discovered the interesting world of randomized music.  My little mp3 player holds 1gb, or about 20 albums.  I usually listen to full albums.  But now I’ve got it set on random play, and it’s created a new world of my music… with some interesting juxtapositions.  Which leads me to this — what does my music say about me?  More specifically, if I took the message of the last five songs I listened to, what would it say my worldview is?  Let’s find out:

Last five songs:

  • “We Lift You Up” by Jason Morant
  • “Diane” by Robert Randolph and the Family Band
  • “Let Your Love be Strong” by Switchfoot
  • “The Lonely Road” by Mike Farris
  • “Everything Glorious” by David Crowder Band

Therefore, my view of life is:

  • God is amazing, over all and deserves praise
  • I’m gonna be true to my main squeeze, even when I’m not sure I’m loved back
  • I tried to fix my problems myself, but I need God to do it
  • The world is messed up, but God’s got a grip on me.

Hmm. I buy that.

    Wow, your morning commute sounds really complex–maybe you can work a skateboard ride in there somewhere. :-)

    It’s an avoidance commute:
    1. Avoid paying $7/day parking at work
    2. Avoid paying gym fees by riding my bike for exercise
    3. Avoid scary harassed drop-off parent drivers by walking up to the school

    If I added a skateboard I would be avoiding actually GETTING to work, since I’d be lying unconscious on a sidewalk.
