So everytime I post a new status update on my personal myspace page, I get one or more messages sent to me from friends asking me "what does that mean?" or "are you okay?" or "gee, what's troubling you this time, Will?"

Well, 90% of my status updates are pulled from song lyrics of my favorite songs. I usually have to rearrange a few things for them to make sense, usually changing them from 1st person to 3rd person. Very few of them have any real connection to how I am feeling (although most of them are there to trigger some false romanticism). So I thought I would list 14 of them and tell you what songs I pulled them from.

I should make this a quiz for all of you, but you are probably all at work and don't have time to play

Vil Vodka walked into the room. There was voodoo in the vibes. He was captured by your style. But he could not catch your eyes. ("So Into You", Atlanta Rhythm Section)

Vil Vodka switched from rum to whiskey. ("Rum to Whiskey" by Murder City Devils)

Vil Vodka is throwing the childhood scenes away. He's through ripping himself off. ("Broken Boy Soldier" by The Raconteurs)

Vil Vodka was fooled by the lover, fooled by the sinner, fooled by himself into thinking he was living. ("Berlin" by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club)

Vil Vodka is into you like a train. ("Into You Like A Train" by Psychedelic Furs)

Vil Vodka is one of them. You say that he's your friend, but he is one of them. ("My War" by Black Flag) 

Vil Vodka is filled with reasons to kill. But everybody wants to play the blues. ("Reasons to Kill" by The Lost Sounds)

Vil Vodka was standing. You were there. Two worlds collided. And they could never tear you and him apart. ("Never Tear Us Apart" by INXS)

Vil Vodka was born under a bad neon sign. ("Born Under a Bad Neon Sign" by the Flaming Stars)

Vil Vodka found a mountain that was far too high. And when he found out he couldn't fly...mama, it was too late. ("Undun" by The Guess Who)

Vil Vodka wants to stick around on his secret ground...and watch the world spin into sand. ("Nothing Left To Lose" by Greg Sage & The Wipers)

Vil Vodka will surprise you sometime...he'll come around...when you're down ("Untitled" by Interpol)

Vil Vodka gets mistaken for strangers by his own friends. ("Mistaken for Strangers" by The National)

Vil Vodka has love like a muscle and you make him want to flex. ("Let's Put the X in Sex" by KISS)

So, I guess I will now retire these and work on new ones...keeping all of my friends guessing.
