Radio on, let\u2019s see.<br \/>  2. Or should I say, &#8220;let&#8217;s listen?&#8221; <br \/>  3. Why is my favorite station playing this stupid song?<br \/>  4. New station.<br \/>  5. Wait no, I\u2019ll just wait for the next song.<br \/>  6. I\u2019m pretty sure the next song is gonna be cool. <br \/>  7. I have hope in the next song.<br \/>  8. And I like to give chances.<br \/>  9. Like yeah, my favorite station deserves a second chance.<br \/>  10. We\u2019ve built this firm auditory trust over the years.<br \/>  11. Meanwhile, I\u2019ll just divert my ears\u2019 attention away from this song by trying to guess what song is coming next.<br \/>  12. Guessing game it is.<br \/>  13. But wait, I\u2019m not gonna like predict the actual song, that would be unfair given the outrageous amount of songs in my mental database.<br \/>  14. I\u2019ll just try to figure out the artist instead.<br \/>  15. No, no, too many artists out there\u2026<br \/>  16. Plus if we were to consider that half the songs nowadays are covers, artists would be close to outnumbering songs, making the probability of getting the artist right even less than that of getting the song right and&#8230;<br \/>  17. What am I even\u2026<br \/>  18. Chill out, brain.<br \/>  19. I\u2019m so not gonna predict the artist. <br \/>  20. Music genre it is.<br \/>  21. Umm, I say aternati\u2026<br \/>  22. *commercial comes on*<br \/>  23. Commercials, seriously?<br \/>  24. I\u2019ve pulled through two long minutes of auditory cheese and all I get in return is a stupid toothpaste commercial, great.<br \/>  25. Super great.<br \/>  26. Whatever, I\u2019ll just wait.<br \/>  27. Wait why do all those commercials feature the same voice?<br \/>  28. Also do they have to turn every shampoo commercial into an over-emotional lullaby?<br \/>  29. \u201cLike us on Facebook for a chance to win 24,859 iPads, follow us on Twitter to keep up with our latest updates\u2026\u201d<br \/>  30. No, thanks.<br \/>  31. And we\u2019re finally back to the musi\u2026<br \/>  32. [First beats of Pharell\u2019s Happy]<br \/>  33. NO.<br \/>  34. How is this even my favorite station?<br \/>  35. I\u2019m so changing the station.<br \/>  36. On another note, maybe it\u2019s time to end our relationship.<br \/>  37. *switches to second favorite station*<br \/>  38. \u201cClap along if you feel like a roo\u2026\u201d<br \/>  39. *mentally smashes radio*<br \/>  40. You know what, I\u2019ll just adjust the station according to mood standards instead.<br \/>  41. [Cheesy Arabic song]<br \/>  42. [Cheesier Arabic song]<br \/>  43. \u201cLike a room without a roo\u2026\u201d<br \/>  44. [Another cheesy Arabic song]<br \/>  45. Wait there\u2019s a morning radio show on here.<br \/>  46. \u201cGood morning Lebanon, today is June 23 and we\u2019re live from our Beirut studios\u2026\u201d *weird sounds playing in the background*<br \/>  47. Oh hello there, Mr. radio host!<br \/>  48. You don\u2019t need to mention the date and country every day by the way.<br \/>  49. I believe in my abilities to situate myself in space and time you know.<br \/>  50. Wait someone just requested a cool song!<br \/>  51. What was the guy\u2019s name again?<br \/>  52. \u201cAnd now we\u2019re gonna play Samer\u2019s request\u2026\u201d<br \/>  53. Yes, yes, yes, please.<br \/>  54. Samer, you just made my day.<br \/>  55. Like I don\u2019t know you but we should start dating already.<br \/>  56. There\u2019s nothing like a guy with good taste in music.<br \/>  57. MY LIFE IS COMPLETE.<br \/>  58. Wait why am I mentally constructing his face now?<br \/>  59. That\u2019s an extreme one, brain.<br \/>  60. Just focus on the song.<br \/>  61. SONG???!!!<br \/>  62. Did they just cut my favorite part of the song to talk about Justin Beiber\u2019s new pet?<br \/>  63. *changes channel in denial*<br \/>  64. \u201cHappy, happy, happ\u2026\u201d<br \/>  65. *Sings
