What's your themesong?
You know...a song that fits you and what you do
Mine's probably gotta be "American Idiot"
for the lyrics, not the title of the song

So you're an American idiot, then?
My theme tune would probably be "Why can't we be friends" or "Frosty The Snowman".

Ok. Someone else on this board had said that he was bisexual, and was writing it about a man, but that was purely anecdotal and there were no sources or anything. Because of the honey thing, which I had forgotten (the lyrics at that part are really hard to hear...) about, I certainly see your part. But, to be fair, you can feel the inside of a man as well...
and any song about sex and nihilism is alright by me
It is more about hedonism than nihilism, I think, and it seems to be lamenting the nihilistic lifestyle. It seems that it is meant to show some of the hedonistic corruption brought about by sex addicts, and is showing the terrible result. It also happens to be embracing it, in a way, however...but that is just part of how it all works.

Do you believe that there is anything wrong with that? Everyone has to live their own life, we all make our own choices, you own your life don't you...so is there anything wrong with living your life the way you want to?

I am perfectly fine with letting anyone who wants to live that way do so, but I don't think it is the healthiest way to be. I would argue with that person that is some meaning to life, but if they are convinced of their convictions, then I would live and let live. Who knows, perhaps the nihilists are right, and the meaning I see to life is merely contrived by my mind? Though, to be fair, my thoughts are merely that there is the biological meaning to reproduce, to enjoy life as best as one can, to help others do so, and to die in order to fuel future life. The last one is the most important in my opinion. I'm really into the whole druidic cycle thing. Or at least I found out I was--I came to that conclusion and later found out that it is a basic drudic belief.

LIVES IN THE BALANCE - Jackson Browne
I've been waiting for something to happen
For a week or a month or a year
With the blood in the ink of the headlines
And the sound of the crowd in my ear
You might ask what it takes to remember
When you know that you've seen it before
Where a government lies to a people
And a country is drifting to war
And there's a shadow on the faces
Of the men who send the guns
To the wars that are fought in places
Where their business interest runs
On the radio talk shows and the T.V.
You hear one thing again and again
How the U.S.A. stands for freedom
And we come to the aid of a friend
But who are the ones that we call our friends--
These governments killing their own?
Or the people who finally can't take any more
And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stone
There are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wire
There's a shadow on the faces
Of the men who fan the flames
Of the wars that are fought in places
Where we can't even say the names
They sell us the President the same way
They sell us our clothes and our cars
They sell us every thing from youth to religion
The same time they sell us our wars
I want to know who the men in the shadows are
I want to hear somebody asking them why
They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are
But they're never the ones to fight or to die
And there are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wire.
You may listen to this song if you've never heard it. It's safe to click.. I uploaded it to my website.

Wow this totally reminds me of an assignment I had in high school. We were supposed to make an invention and market it, mine was a pair of shoes that had an MP3 player in them, with little speakers in the side. They were billed as playing the personal soundtrack of your life. I still wanna try and make them, if anyone steals the idea I will murder you! lol.
My shoes were a big pair of hiking boots they had a few songs for everyday things (OK some of these I don't do everyday, but they looked good in the commercial I made)...
Walking Down They Street: Stompin' With My Big Black Boots - Ice Cube
Confrontation With/Running From The Cops: Open Up - Dispatch
Riot/Protest Song: Take The Power Back - Rage Against The Machine
Ass Kicking Song: The Blade Techno 1 Song (Is it called Bloodbath?)
There we're a few more too, that commercial was awesome.
But I would say my all time theme song is Primus - Groundhog's Day http://www.airlyrics.com/lyrics/Primus/Groundhogs-day-lyrics.html
With Rage Against The Machine - Bullet In The Head as a close second.

Meredith Brooks' Bitch
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between

Mine would be The Imperial March and tune when the Trade Fed is attacking Naboo in TPM. And Run Away Train by SOul Asylum.

That classical music/opera piece they always play in Satan (like the Omen) movies, whenever Mr.Bad Guy's around.
What, Toccata and Fugue in D Minor? Because that's the most satanic-sounding piece I can think of.
I guess my current theme song is Die MotherF***er Die by Dope
