To Shuffle Or Not To Shuffle


I like music, a lot. It's what helps me through my day to day routines, gets me in the mood to work out, cheer me up, or even put me to sleep. But every once in a while I'm at a loss of what I feel like listening to. I'll open up the ipod player on my phone and skim through my preset playlists, and if nothing strikes my fancy, I'll switch over to 'songs' and hit that magical tab at the top, 'Shuffle'. 

I've also got a ton of music on my phone, enough to last for a week or two if played straight through, so when I hit the ol' shuffle button, it's a bit of a crap shoot of what you're gonna get. But isn't that part of the fun? There are definitely times when I've heard a really good song that I didn't even know I had, and have had to look down to see what it was. There are also times when I get a song that I really don't like at all, and I'll reach down and hit the 'next' button to skip over that song, and then I'm left wondering why I even still have that song on my player, taking up valuable space! Of course I don't do anything about it, and then ask myself that same question next time I hear the song.

Moving on though, this morning was one of those mornings where I was left with no choice but to hit the shuffle button, and thought it would be fun if I wrote down the first 10 songs that played, and then share them with you all. I should note that I chose to not skip ahead through any of them, so everything on this list I listened to in it's entirety whether I liked it or not! Also of note, I always find it crazy that out of more than 3,500 songs, there are still times when I get the same band a couple times in a row [like what happened with Senses Fail in the list below.] At any rate, listed below is my list, and admittedly, I was hoping for a better finale than Prodigy, but that is how today's shuffle list decided to play out [haha, get it?] Enjoy!

My ipod broke last year sometime and so now I use Chris' when I go to the gym. I always just hit shuffle b/c he has all sorts of stuff on there that I don't know!
