When I grow up, I want to hire a funk band and be followed by them constantly so that I can pretend I’m John Shaft. Like John Shaft, I’m a complicated man but no-one understands me but my woman.
But, until this day, I – along with millions of other people – will continue to use my iPod to compile the soundtrack to my life.
In fact, I’ve hit upon a way to make the little day-to-day decisions a bit more interesting and dramatic.
Have you got any Snow Patrol / Coldplay / Elbow on your iPod? When it comes to make a choice, put a song on that they’d use at the end of X-Factor or Masterchef. ‘Run’ or ‘Yellow’. Something like that.
Consider your options through the dramatic tension part and then make your decision at the point the song’s dynamic gets louder. You know. The bit where Greg the Veg Seller would go “Keith, you’re cooking for us tomorrow.”
Now, in my head, breakfast time goes like this:
dum dum dum
dum dum dum
dum dum dum
dum dum dum
dum dum dum
dum dum dum
dum dum dum
dum dum dum
dum dum dum
dum dum dum
dum dum dum
dum dum dum
dum dum dum
dum dum dum
dum dum dum
BLAM! BLAM!
BLAM! BLAM!
BLAM! BLAM!
BLAM! BLAM!
BLAM! BLAM!
BLAM! BLAM!
BLAM! BLAM!

Inspired! I love this!
Thank you! I’d like to thank the concept of too much time on my hands!
THROW THOSE CURTAINS WIDE! ONE BREKKIE LIKE THIS A YEAR WILL SEE ME RIGHT!
Brilliant.
I’ve had that in my head all day now!
I prefer to imagine beating everyone and everything whilst listening to aggressive music. Last one / thing standing wins.
