As mentioned previously, i'm still getting used to this crazy little thing called blog. So as another initiation, rite-o-passage for me, here's my first attempt at the blogger games. You know, those little space fillers that people throw in their blog when they have nothing to say, or don't want to say what's really on their mind. You've all seen them. I guess they're like that little segment at the end of the local news where some fireman gives a cat CPR and saves its life - cute, unobtrusive, but shouldn't we be talking about the genocide in Africa instead?!?

This one comes from Negro, Please which i'm beginning to think is the negro mirror of my very white life.

For this little shin-dig, put your music player on random and record your favorite line from the first 25 songs that it plays. Like most games though, i didn't read the instructions very well and screwed up on the details with this one. In most cases i just picked the first line(s) of the song. Guess i was trying to save a little time. And i guess i'm supposed to have somebody out there actually guess who sings which songs, but that would mean that someone would actually be reading this. Hah! So the who's who of singin' follows each line. Enjoy...
