Fortune Telling iPod

I've played this game of sorts with myself for a while now. It's like a Magic 8 Ball, but more vague. Or bible dips, if you've ever read Running With Scissors. I get a question in my head, put my iPod on shuffle and see what it tells me. Shuffle has also given me some hilarious coincidental descriptions of my life.

Some of the funnier (haha funny and also peculiar) ones in my time:

Today I went ice climbing. I got in my car, turned on the iPod, and "Ice, Ice Baby" starts playing.

While driving home from a date one time, I asked my iPod is this relationship worth pursuing. iPod comes back with "Ain't No Good" by Cake.

Once I asked, "When will I figure my life out?" And I found myself listening to Built To Spill's "The Wait".

I believe it sometimes. Mostly when it confirms something I'd already been thinking. Sure there have been plenty of non sequiturs:

What am I hungry for? "Terrible Canyons of Static"- godspeed you! black emperor

Or the incredibly cruel Where should I live? "Candy Land"- CocoRosie

But I start to consider my foolishness for wanting to believe in truth outside myself when I have an answer in mind and the iPod gives me the opposite.

Should I get a dog? I want "Say Yes" by Elliott Smith and instead Phish plays "No Dogs Allowed"
