Ant: The Movie

Having surveyed other "proper" blogs, I notice that every so often it is required to pick up on one of the popular internet phenomenons (or "meme"s) and make it yours. Therefore, I have tracked down the latest groove that's got all the cool cats swinging:

This one is based on the (totally and entirely true) idea that the 'shuffle' feature on iTunes (and/or your iPod Shuffle) is entirely psychic and can predict your future like some kind of Magic 8 Ball. Thus, when it comes to be time to make the 'movie of your life', your shufflesome friend can provide the soundtrack to fit.

Try it yourself. See what your iPod picks for your movie's Opening Credits, Song For A Winter's Night, Falling in Love, Breaking Up, Prom Song, Life's OK, Mental Breakdown, Driving, Flashback, Getting Back Together, Getting Married, Sex Scene, Shelter Song, Birth of 1st Child, Final Battle Scene (not sure what that's for, unless you are Ryu from StreetFighter II), Death Scene, Funeral, End Credits.

Here's what the mysterious appley forces predicted for me. This is totally true.

Everyone knows that iPods are psychic, really. I wonder what this says about my future. Other than that I am clearly destined to die in some bizarre breakdancing contest. Which I suppose is not such a bad way to go - and at least my funeral will be well-attended by people dressed in snappy 80s fashions. Who wouldn't be delighted by such a thing?
