Controlled Chaos (original) (raw)

Recent events

Things have been bleak.

But I have hope.

I've been shot 3 times.
I've been stabbed in the neck once by myself...because a guy was trying to kill me and it was the only way I could cut the garrote from my neck.
I've drowned once and been brought back to life.
I've never had a wreck that didn't flip at least once and catch on fire.
I've been diagnosed with a brain tumor and told I had 11 months to live.

I'm still here.

Things look bad. and they may get ugly. but one thing is certain. I'm the only one that can kill me.

My Life as a Movie Soundtrack

August 18th, 2006

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?

So, here's how it works:

1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, etc).
2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Press play.
4. For every question type the song that's playing.
5. When you go to a new question press the next button.
Ready? GO!

Opening Credits: Jimmy Buffett – A Pirate Looks at Forty

Waking Up: Evanescence – Going Under

Falling In Love: Ray Charles – I’ve Got a Woman

Fight Song: Jan Johnston – Unafraid (Paul Oakenfold Remix)

Breaking Up: Ray Charles – Hit the Road Jack

Getting Back Together: Jim Croce – Time in a Bottle

Getting Dressed: Frank Sinatra – One for My Baby

Life's Okay: 12 Stones - Broken

Mental Breakdown: Type O Negative – Wolf Moon

Driving: Disturbed - Stupify

Flashbacks: U2 – Van Diemen’s Land (The Edge on Vocals)

Happy Dance: Israel Kamakawiwo’ole – Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Regretting: 3 Doors Down - Love Me When I’m Gone

The training: Pink Floyd – Run Like Hell

Final Battle: Led Zepplin - Tangerine

Death Scene: Johnny Cash – Folsum Prison Blues

Ending Credits: Pachelbel – Cannon in D Major

** BTW I had to kind of cheat a little. I mean I have about 1200 damn songs on my laptop, but for some reason damn near every time I hit the Shuffle button another Ray Charles song came up, that wouldn't have been very interesting would it? I shit you not, Out of 1200 songs, Ray Charles came up no less than 10 times, so I kept hitting next until I got something else in those cases, I also bypassed the ones that just said something like "Unknown artist - track 2".

-D

'Cause everyone else is doing it and I want to be cool.

If you comment...

1. I'll respond with something random I like about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll name something we should do together.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me (or just me).
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll leave you a quote that is somehow appropriate to you.
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal so you can do the same for other people.

You are "Heroes"!

You've been through a tough break-up and would like
nothing better than to have that person back at
least for one day. Or you're just in a funk and
feeling very sad.
