I know we&#8217;re well into the information age and with all sorts of communication technology, information can travel at the blink of an eye. But it still astounds me how fast some news travels, especially things that involve myself.</p>
<p>For example, just tonight at worship practice, one of the vocalists, Beth, mentioned how she heard that I have an interview next week and that she&#8217;d pray for me. Sweet! But I was once again surprised, because I had only gotten the call about the interview earlier that day and only 3 other people knew about, or so I thought. Apparently my mom had talked to her between me telling my mom and me seeing her at practice.</p>
<p>And just last week, same thing. This time, when I was volunteering at school, the secretary inquired about an upcoming opportunity for me. She was of course referring to an interview I had later on that week, but again, I had only found out the day before and had only mentioned it to 3 other people at that point. Still haven&#8217;t figured out how she found out so fast.</p>
<p>So news does travel at the speed of light I guess, even when you don&#8217;t expect it.</p>
<p><span style="color:orange;"><em>&#8220;Hey, I&#8217;m not even sure there&#8217;s such a thing as the Internet. It might just be Jeannie telling everyone stuff.&#8221;</em></span><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was tagged by Gendi in a note on facebook a little while back and hence this post:</p>
<p>So, here&#8217;s how it works:</p>
<ol>
<li>Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)</li>
<li>Put it on shuffle</li>
<li>Press play</li>
<li>For every question/heading (e.g. opening credits, waking up, etc), type the song that&#8217;s playing</li>
<li>When you go to a new question/ heading, press the next button</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t lie</li>
</ol>
<p>Sound track of my life:</p>
<p>Opening Credits &#8211; He&#8217;s My Son, Mark Shultz</p>
<p>Waking Up &#8211; The Wisdom of Snow (Instrumental), Trans Siberian Orchestra</p>
<p>First Day of High School &#8211; Hurt, Christina Aguilera</p>
<p>Falling in Love &#8211; Angels Losing Sleep, Our Lady Peace</p>
<p>Fight Song &#8211; You Are Worthy Of My Praise, Sonicflood (hmmm&#8230;.)</p>
<p>Breaking up &#8211; La Luna Che Non C&#8217;e, Andrea Bocelli</p>
<p>Prom &#8211; Will You Worship, Elevator Radio</p>
<p>Sex Scene &#8211; Redeemer Saviour Friend, Integrity Worship Singers (ummm&#8230;.)</p>
<p>Mental Breakdown &#8211; We Speak to Nations, Israel Houghton</p>
<p>Driving &#8211; This Christmas Day, Trans-Siberian Orchestra</p>
<p>Flashback &#8211; Little Lotte&#8230;/The Mirror (Angel of Music), Phantom of the Opera</p>
<p>Proposing &#8211; Made of Steel, Our Lady Peace</p>
<p>Wedding &#8211; Feel Better, Wally (a friend of mine&#8217;s original recording)</p>
<p>Birth of Child &#8211; The Spectrum Song, Disney</p>
<p>Final Battle &#8211; Overture to the Marriage of Figaro, K. 492, Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra</p>
<p>Death scene &#8211; O Come O Come Emmanuel, Nicole C. Mullen</p>
<p>Funeral &#8211; My Answer Is You, Brian Littrell (yes, I have Brian on my computer, no shame)</p>
<p>Closing Credits &#8211; Daughters, John Mayer</p>
<p>hmmm&#8230;kind of interesting. Didn&#8217;t think so many Christmas songs would come up. Thought John Mayer would have come up more with the amount of tracks I have of him. meh, whatever. &#8216;Twas a good way to kill time.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m suppose to tag 10 other people, but I&#8217;ve never been a big fan of these, so I won&#8217;t. I hope the time you spent reading this was as&#8230;uh&#8230;fulfillng as the time that I spent writing this.</p>
