i hate you, iPOD

Why is it that just when everything becomes copacetic and seemingly fine....WHAM, something happens that completely knocks me on my ass.
And you know what? I was doing really well... I was feeling, dare I say, happy even. Hanging out, listening to the old iPOD. And then there it was: that song that made me feel all that stuff I've been trying not to deal with.
Stupid random song chooser.
Isn't there a way to keep those songs from EVER playing on the iPOD again?
Those songs that pierce right through my very core and knock me on my booty.
Those songs whose only purpose in the entire world is to take me back to places I'm trying so hard to forget right now. Places full of hope and love. Places full of new beginnings and promises.
Places with nowhere to go, except where they went. Which was nowhere.
Stupid random song chooser.
