shuffle fortune

The music shuffle or random mix setting on this computer is a reliable approach to decision making. it's basically the chief method of organizing my life.

take a look at these song titles; forget about the songs themselves, that's for another discussion, just look at this sequence:

--> Heaven-Nice!
--> say hello to the angels
--> watching the boats with my dad
--> cuts the metal cold
--> the bomb
--> the war in apartment 1812
--> bombtrack
--> third eye
--> too much love

consider the artists themselves, the mood and tone, the cover artwork, the release dates, what-have-you, and what you have is a pretty dense globe of predictive power. It's intimately connected to my own previous choices, ie. I included these in my library, downloaded, purchased--they're all in some manner connected to choices I have already made individually in the past and looked at in sum in the present with the added accidental, connections can be made that demand consideration and action.

No need to go into the meaning of the above list, i think it's quite obvious.

ooh: 'they killed you' just came on... eerie.
