The lazy dude with the strange nickname<\/a> thinks I’ve got nothing better to do while I’m working. How ver introvert-ish !
\nAh well, it’ s something about a chain mail thingy with weblogs. I don’t do nonsense like that (same for real snail mail and e-mail), but then again, I do try to keep this junkyard updated daily.<\/p>\n

So here goes:<\/p>\n

Total bits’n’bytes of music accumulated on your pc ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, PC is at home, so I’ll take the slightly un-updated mirror here at work: 7.708.535.664 in 1369 files. Luckily the question was not about the music stored on the backup cd’s and dvd’s (as those are spread out, and contain songs I don’t listen to).<\/p>\n

Last bought CD ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mad Season by Matchbox Twenty in May 2000. I even asked the MediaMarkt to reserve one for me. (Impatient as I was, on the release date, I went to the other MediaMarkt in town, and when I was about to pay, I received a call the CD was in. They didn’t mind I was buying from their colleagues)<\/p>\n

Last song heard before reading the “questionnaire” ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m at work, so that would mean I would have to remember the song I was playing when I hibernated my PC at home last night. And that, I’m not gonna do. So lemme un-hibernate my notebook here and wait… U2 – Sunday Bloody Sunday<\/p>\n

4 Songs you listen a lot to or mean a lot to you ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, that’s just plain mean. So I’ll just pick one, and explain it, and be done with this question.<\/p>\n

Goo Goo Dolls – Name<\/p>\n

When listening to this song, you will realise it’s actually about how the x-generation fits in, and being the first generation (born here, or second, living here) Chinese mob, I can very well identify with the lyrics. Every single line is powerful and meaningful, for instance “We don’t belong to no one, and that’s a shame” and “Scars are souvenirs you never lose”. That woven into a multi-layered acoustic set, that kicks into a pretty wild riff at time-index 3:16, means it’s not only a story, it’s a story well-told.<\/p>\n

Hah, and you really think I’d do this for FOUR SONGS, WHILE AT WORK ??<\/p>\n

Which 5 persons do you force to continue this ridicule and why ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why is simple, I don’t even know that many. So I’m throwing a few that will end up on my own server again, so
\nTienz<\/a>, catch ! And Ez<\/a>, catch too !
\nThrowing one to another lazy ass, Mr T.<\/a> (who supposedly got Apache MySQL and PHP running a while ago, MWHHAAHA. He’ll probably start a weblog in, like… 2010).
\nAnd a few random ones, to Araphor<\/a>. And … uhmm, can’t think of something else. Ah well, doesn’t matter, even if it’s 2 or 3, it’s still exponential growth, and saturation will happen anytime soon now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
