God's iPod

I was going to serve up a nice little nihilistic rant to begin the week, but I've thought better of it.  Instead, I will provide you with a list.  It's been a while since I've done a list, right?

Last week, I failed to give a special birthday shout out to Nina Simone.  After posting my blog, I spent most of the day listening to Nina (partly because it was her birthday, partly because I needed to get Soulja Boy's "Speakers Going Hammer" out of my head).  The exercise lead me to Youtube.  One of the comments on a clip of "Sinnerman" reads: this is on God's iPod.

I'm stealing that idea for today's blog.  What, exactly, is on God's iPod?  A few guesses (which may just look like a list of some of my personal jams, because the God I believe in has the same [excellent] taste in music that I have.  Me being made in His image and all.):

I ask my brilliant and blasphemous reader(s): What else might be on God's iPod?

You mean to tell me, God is not listening to ANY soulja boy? Blasphemy.

Teena Marie - Yes, Indeed -- God likes all of her ballads, but this one makes Her weep.

Nina Simone - I Want Some Sugar In My Bowl -- For the same reason God loves that line in "Buffalo Stance". And because I believe God loves Black women, especially those who know what they want.

I could go on and on but I don't want to get struck by lightning. LOL.

Banning Webber through environs and also removing
Diablo 3 Items the achievements from the course's records is only small and ridiculous. If NCAA won't transform it is methods, an increasing number of skill can omit higher education as well as head out straight to the advantages. Even though it makes everyone unfortunate that these avid gamers will not move foot inside a Billig WoW Gold
school, I can not responsibility all of them a single little.
