I Swear...Someone Else Bought Them!!!
Despite warnings that it could be hazardous to my health, I went ahead and bought an 20GB iPod Photo recently. The sleek cool factor to this little piece of hardware proved too tempting for me, and the roughly 5000 song capacity was just the cherry on top of my click-wheel and colour screen sundae.
But as I was walking out of the store with my new music machine, I had a sudden difficult question arise: are there even 5000 songs that I like?
I’ve noticed that lately I hate way more music than I like. I rarely listen to radio anymore, haven’t bought a CD in months, and haven’t downloaded a song since sometime last year. My Launchcast station is filled with thousands of ratings of “Never Play On My Station”. I’m sorry, but nothing will ruin my day like hearing hip hop, ska, rap, punk, folk, emo, new age, techno, pop rock, cock rock, crap rock, overrated but under-talented classic rock, or religious music. Hey, I just like music that doesn’t suck.
Well, at least I have my CD collection that I’ve been amassing since I was 12.
Have you ever gone over your CD collection and wondered, “What the hell was I thinking when I bought this?” I had this happen to me as I took a good look at mine. I still have some of the first CD’s I ever bought…and my tastes have apparently changed over time.
So, I decided to show you a few select samples of my collection, and let you know what I must have been thinking when I bought them.
Ren & Stimpy: Radio Daze
Mr Humble Guy Must Have Been Thinking: I have too much money.
Def Leppard: Hysteria
Mr Humble Guy Must Have Been Thinking: No, Dan, I don’t know what has 9 arms and sucks. But I’m about to buy this CD, so tell me the punch line when I get back, okay?
Snow: Informer
Mr Humble Guy Must Have Been Thinking: Man, this guy rocks! “Informa, you know she gobbada ya de abba playa, I lick you bum bum, yeah!”
Soundtrack: Encino Man
Mr Humble Guy Must Have Been Thinking: Pauly Shore is a comic genius! And this is the soundtrack to a movie that Pauly Shore was in! It has to be good!
Blind Melon: Blind Melon
Mr Humble Guy Must Have Been Thinking: They’ve got to have more than one good song…(famous last words for a lot of the CD’s that bought)
Soundtrack: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II
Mr Humble Guy Must Have Been Thinking: GO NINJA! GO NINJA! GO!!!
Savage Garden: Savage Garden
Mr Humble Guy Must Have Been Thinking: …but how am I going to convince everyone at the party that I’m a homosexual?
Needless to say, I haven't filled up my iPod yet.

Savage Garden eh guys? Cool, well, see ya later.
i'm so sad that you no longer find the ren and stimpy cd to be of great value. it was the best cartoon of ever.
*suddenly having flashbacks of stimpy and sven playing "don't pee on the electric fence" and watching with dismay as ren did just that*
*oh crap, here comes another flashback, the poopie and explodie cartoon!!!*
*"it's log it's log, it's big, it's heavy it's wood. it's log it's log, it's better than bad, IT'S GOOD!"*
(someone make it stop...)
*SPACE MADNESS! "oh my beloved ice cream bar, how I love to lick your creamy center! and your oh-so-nutty chocolate covering! You're not like the others...you like the same things I do! Waxed paper...boiled football leather...dog breath..."*
Rebecca, I have to argue that those gems are all found on the "You Eediot!" CD, of which I also have...
*When Nature's callin'
Don't be stallin'
Use your common sense!
Before you let it flow
Find a place to go
Just DON'T WHIZ ON THE ELECTRIC FENCE!*
oh, i just meant that any ren and stimpy purchase is a good one... i don't know what's on what cd. hooray for ren and stimpy, for they alone are your fire dogs.
