Vox Hunt: Song In The Key Of Life

Jason — Thu, 08 Feb 2007 17:56:50 +0000

Audio: Share a song that fits the moment you’re living right now.
Inspired by cherè.

I don’t have the song on me right now…I might throw it up later if I remember. I do have some lyrics though.

This song’s been floating around in my head for the past month or two pretty regularly. Specifically after the first chorus. Just been going through a rough time, with the changes at work in January.

My iPod seems to have a habit of playing songs on random that happen to apply to whatever I might be feeling at the moment. It’s rather strange. Anyway, it’s not QUITE as bad as the song might make it seem to appear, but it really does apply.

Spock’s Beard – Rearranged

I have never been in this
For all the fortune and fame
All I ever wanted
Was to be in the game

A part of something bigger
Something bigger then me
Inspired from love of the moment
And being what I was born to be

Sometime a dream gets wasted
Sometimes it all just falls and fades away
And you may feel you’ve made it
Then in a flash it all get rearranged

Deaf dumb and stupid
Or am I just plain nice
Live and let live was a mantra I used
More then once or twice

Thought I had it all going on
Thought I was cruising in 5th gear
In a snap it all went out of control

Everything that was so normal now seemed
So confusing and weird
Now the live and let live
That was so safe in my heart
Didn’t feel that sincere
Giving all that I had
Doing right I believed
I’ll just go cry in my beer
I blinked my eyes and I had a new life
This much is clear

Sometime a dream gets wasted
Sometimes it all just falls and fades away
And you may feel you’ve made it
Then in a flash it all get rearranged

Vox Hunt: Yeah, About This Thing

BIG Calculator

Here’s a BIG calculator from Staples. I got it as a christmas present from my parents. Kinda a jokey gift. There’s a stick of gum sitting on it (the shiny thing on the bottom) for scale purposes.

This is also on my desk at work. I’ve gotten a few comments from people wandering by. “Holy shit, that’s a big calculator” is my favorite so far.

Too bad it’s not solar

Vox Hunt: I Love This Cartoon

Video: Show us a clip from your favorite cartoon.

Here’s a spliced together version of the Dethklok Duncan Hills Coffee Jingle from Metalocalypse on Adult Swim. I found this on YouTube, and it’s an edit so it has some illegible lyrics on the bottom. Still good though

I can’t wait for the DVD of this show to come out, considering I don’t get cable and can’t watch it that often.

Vox Hunt: That’s The Ticket

Dream Theater Ticket

Here’s a ticket from 3 years ago when I want to see Dream Theater opening for Yes. Note the mispelled band name on the ticket. This was to be my first real rock concert, but then I went to see them 2 weeks earlier in Massachusetts when they announced a headlining show there.

Vox Hunt: Rocked My World

Metropolis Pt 2: Scenes From A Memory - Dream Theater

This was the first band I got into heavily. Scenes From a Memory was the first CD of theirs which I purchased as well. I heard track 5, Fatal Tragedy on an internet radio station wayyy back in the day (I ended up getting into them about 7 years ago, I believe) and it stuck.

And now I’m a fanatic. They were also my first concert in Worchester, MA on August 21st, 2004.

Vox Hunt: It Better Be Good

Jason — Thu, 18 Jan 2007 13:44:01 +0000

What’s the first image that comes up when you Google your name?

Full Name

I did my full name first, which came up with exactly one picture. This one was pretty disappointing to say the least. (It’s on the right). It looks to be some sort of a navigational image from some design companies web page. So I decided that I wasn’t going to stop there…I’d widen the search a little bit.

So using my first name only, I come up with this…

First Name Only Search

… Ooook. Moving on then.

Derango

At this point I decide to stop looking for my real first name, but instead look for the two nickname/handle things I tend to use when playing online games. First up, Derango (Don’t ask. Just…don’t. There’s no reason or explanation for it. No, I wasn’t even thinking of the car when I put it in. It sounded cool, sorta, so I went with it).

Apparently, Derango is some kind of a swedish psychedelic trance band and this is one of their album covers. Not bad. Not my kind of music really, but, there could be worse things.

Frost

So now I decide to look for “Frost”, the handle I use when I’m playing MMO type games. This one was pretty predictable.

Tada! Frost! The 4th result was a drawing of Marvel’s Emma Frost which I particularly liked, but I had to go with the first result, as per the guidelines set up by the question.

So there you have it. The first images that appear when searching for various names.

Suikoden V

Here’s a pretty bad shot of me playing Suikoden V, my current video game of choice. The bridge there is supposed to look horrible though, so that’s at least accurate.
