Hire people to make me a theme song

Who doesn't want their own theme? Just being able to walk down the street, and hear music suited to your mood, or to be going to the garage with dramatic music playing in the background would be cool.

I need a tool, but I'm not sure if there's a chainsaw wielding MANIAC in there!

Okay, so you have the ability to hire somebody to write your theme music, and record it. But...who do you get to write it? Choose carefully, wise one, between two of the "best" in the business:

John Williams: Known for his legendary pieces such as Star Wars, ET, Superman, etc. He is considered somewhat of a sham, as his music is often the same melody repeated in different beats and tempos. Recently, he modified an old religious tune for the inauguration, played by some of the most brilliant musicians to grace the world, and yet it was immensely boring.

Danny Elfman: Known for his immortal Batman, Beetlejuice, and the Simpsons. His style is as follows: take one catchy melody, and play it for 5 minutes, constantly adding a little bit to it, as to make the piece sound more passionate. Toss in quite a lot of trills in the background, and you've got a hit.

On one hand, you can have a surefire hit, knowing that it's worked before, it can work again. On the other hand, if it's a good melody, it'll stay in your head forever. That being said, the choice is clear:

Hire both of them, put them in a cage, and let them create a masterpiece for you.

Now that we have the piece of music, let's focus on carrying it around, and playing it at necessary times. Do we go for hiring a marching band to follow you around? Or more for a speaker system? In that case, wouldn't your music need to change to accommodate the music itself? IT'S A NEVERENDING CYCLE!!!!

My question to you is:

-Who would you hire to write your theme song (it can even be a rock band)?

In unrelated news, a friend of mine had a seizure today. It's a little less dramatic then how they make it look on TV. It was a wooooooooonderful way to start the morning, as he seized to Boston's "More than a Feeling" (I've been working on a joke for this all day. I just wish I could remember what a seizure was, and that I wasn't too lazy to Google it).

When he went, he didn't make a sound. He laid down to seize. The way we knew was that another friend saw him lay down, and realized what it was. We cleared the area, and got help quickly. Within 5 minutes, he was safe, with an ambulance called. I think we did damn well, and he's doing fine now. He was lucky enough to catch the signs and lay himself on his side before hand.

So, that's my day. I felt kind of bad afterword, because all I could think was, "Hmm...My first seizure witnessing. Not as bad as I thought it would look. Kind of makes me want to have one of my own." It's going on the list of depressing things I need to see or do before I die. The simple fact that I have a mental list of that stuff is number one on that list. Again, a vicious cycle. So, sorry for the long and boring post, but I'm going to go do stuff, like sleep, or...well, that's just about it.

Long Days and Pleasant nights to you all.

  6. It's not hard. Just envision yourself standing atop a high building. The city below you cries for help, and you are it's guardian. Before you make your leap to help, you have to answer the one question:

    Who are you?

    After that, the rest is a piece of cake.

  7. Yeah I can't do it lol, I can see the whole city pleading in discomfort and I see myself pouting furiously, hands on hips, cape billowing behind me as I look danger in the face. Who am I? I'm kidding myself XD
