Mojo Manifestation

**Wanders in with a broom and begins to sweep out the cobwebs that have started collecting in the corners.**

I saw this in about half the blogs I read, so I thought I'd try it!
Concept is to load all your electronic music into a player of choice, and have it play a random song to answer a particular question. I've just loaded my 3,859 mp3z into Winamp and here I go!

How does the world see you?

• Song: The Eagles - The Best Of My Love
• Comment: Yes, I love all people. So I wonder who got the worst of my love?

Will I have a happy life?

• Song: Lexxus - Spy
• Comment: Hmm, it sppears I'm in the wrong profession? I'll try not to hack into your computer as you read this.

What do my friends really think of me?

• Song: Glenn Lewis Amel Larrieux - Whats Come Over Me
  
• Comment: LOL! Well I hope they don't come to their senses too soon!
  

What do people secretly think of me?

• Song: Freddie Mcgregor - Falling In Love With You
  
• Comment: 'Nuff said!
  

How can I make myself happy?

• Song: Yummy Bingham feat Jadakiss - Come Get It
  
• Comment: Okay. So I should eat more cherries? Hmm....
  

What should I do with my life?

• Song: Matthew Wilder - Break My Stride
  
• Comment: Well that song fits well. I have my moments of being a very determined man. Some say stubborn, I say determined!

Will I ever have children?

• Song: Bounty Killer - Target
  
• Comment: This implies I have problems finding the target. I suppose that's somewhat accurate.

How will I be remembered?

• Song: Boo - I'm Ready
  
• Comment: I have no idea what this means. I don't even know that song. Maybe I need to delete some of my downloaded music.

What is my signature dancing song?

• Song: LL Cool J - Loungin'
  
• Comment: Kinda' slow for dancing. But I do like loungin' in general!

What do I think my current theme song is?

• Song: Cecile - Give it to me
  
• Comment: Well now I sound like a greedy bastard! Sometimes I'm like that with food.

What does everyone else think my current theme song is?

• Song: Geto boys - Scarface
  
• Comment: Hmm, a song about sellin' coke. OK. I prefer diet cherry.

What song will play at my funeral?

• Song: Mikey General - More To Beauty
  
• Comment: Well I hope I'm not just remembered as a pretty boy!
  

What type of women do you like?

• Song: Lina - Fly
  
• Comment: Well that term went out with the 80s, but yeah, I like Fly Girlz. Or perhaps just Flies. *shrug*
  

What is my day going to be like?

• Song: Mary J. Blige - Let Me Be The 1
  
• Comment: Yes, I am the only one in my house.
  

Well there you go - extremely scientific insight into my life.
Damn! The next song was Beyonce - Naughty Girl. Where was that on the 'type of women' question!

The contest is over. Over a month ago, I asked for feedback on naming/describing this blog, and received approximately eight ideas. I ended up with a mix from the ideas and from my own brain. Let me know what you think of the name and the description!

I also added a couple new sections on the right for progress and definition of Mojo.

WI was incredible! Even though I showed maintain last night, I ended up 3lbs down from my last WI Woo Hoo! I'm into the 180s and I'd like to NEVER be back into the 190s again. Okay now that I've said that, I'm probably in the 190s now. I had my normal post-WI flex point sacrificial offering. The WW gods have accepted my gift as illustrated below. It ain't pretty but at least I'm writing it down!

18 choc cvrd Cranberries
3 PB

2 popcorn

Yes I'm a passenger, at least today. I was helped onto the wagon today by a friend asking me how many points I'd had - at the precise moment when I was about to go over points.
So I journal, I blog, I post, and then on Friday I WI. I'm taking control of this weight loss journey again!
