Soundtrack To The Movie Of My Life - iPod Shuffle Game

It's been a while since I've done one of these. It's a guilty pleasure. FAIL I know. Anyway here goes.
1. Open your library (iTunes, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...

Scene:
Song - Band - Album
Comments

Opening Credits :
Vanity - Smashing Pumpkins - Machina II: Friends & Enemies Of Modern Music
Fitting since I feel pretty vain playing this game.

Waking Up :
Wake Up Call feat. David Banner - Maroon 5 - Call And Response: The Remix Album
I'm not kidding. Ironic.

First Day of School :
Look Where We Are - Hoobastank - Every Man For Himself
Interesting. Haven't listened to this band in a while. Good stuff. Reminds me of HIgh School.

Falling in Love :
I Got The Girl - Bon Jovi - Crush
Wow. This is creepy how accurate these are so far.

Fight Song :
The Strangest Day - Jonah 33 - The Strangest Day
This song is pretty chill. I've never been in a real fight in my life. So I guess it's fitting. If it's referring to a school fight song well... I wasn't very involved in that type of thing either.

Prom :
Myself - Fireflight - The Healing Of Harms
Fitting. I wasn't going to go to prom. One of my good friends told me she'd pay for everything but dinner if I went with her. So I did. Fireflight has a girl lead vocalist as well. Hmmmm.

Life :
I Was Once A Loyal Lover (EP Version) - Death Cab For Cutie - The Open Door
I really like Death Cab. Good song. Not sure it ties very well with my life but... rules are rules.

Mental Breakdown :
Battleship - Hot Rod Circuit - The Underground Is A Dying Breed
Feels like a mental breakdown for me. Sounds like a get away from everything and think song.

Driving :
How The Lonely Keep - Terminal - How The Lonely Keep
I first have to say... I really like Terminal... I'm sad they broke up. I like driving alone down old country roads. This song fits quite well.

Flashback :
Glass Of Water - Coldplay - Prospekt's March EP
I was kind of hoping this would be an 80's throw back or something. Good song regardless.

Getting Back Together :
What Do You Go Home To? - Explosions In The Sky - All Of A Sudden I Miss Everything
You have to hear this song to know how much it fits.

Your Worst Mistake :
Dry The River - Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster - II
Nice. This mix needed some metal.

Wedding :
Underneath It All - Pillar - Where Do We Go From Here
Sounds like it's going to be a pretty rockin' wedding....my real one was AMAZING!!!!

Birth of Child :
A Critical Proposal - Ghost Of A Fallen Age - Rumors Of The Secret War
This must be one hard labor.... wow. Intense. Haven't listened to these guys in a while.

Final Battle :
Hand On My Heart - Petra - Unseen Power
This ballet must stink. Or I die. This song feels like it belongs in a bad 80's romance.

Death Scene :
Sometimes You Have To Ask Yourself - MXPX - At The Show
Cool.

Funeral Song:
Year Of The Dog - Sufjan Stevens - Enjoy Your Rabbit
Strange album. Strange song. Strange place for it to fall in all this. So strange has found it's place.

End Credits :
Set Me Up - Project 86 - Drawing Black Lines
Besides being this bands best album ever. I really like this for the ending.

Comment with links to your soundtracks. : )

A Stupid Choice Of Late Night Espresso | A Random Post About Nothing Much

I brewed some espresso tonight, aside from that being an reference from The Office and Café Disco, in order to stay up and finish writing my last paper for a distance learning class this semester. It was my last remaining assignment and now it's complete and submitted.

Well... I finished the paper a lot faster than I thought I would. So I grabbed a copy of Breaking Dawn (Book 4 in the Twilight Saga) that I borrowed from Tammy about 9 months ago. I've slowly made my way through the series but with classes and all picking up here lately I haven't had any time for personal reading. I made it through about 300 pages before setting it down and trying to sleep then being unable to began blogging - stupid choice making the espresso I know.

Well anyway I re-autofilled my got my iPod Shuffle a.k.a. "The Padlock", my 160GB Classic is called "The Vault", and have been listening to it the last few hours. It's a really good mix. I'm pretty please with it so far. At this moment Everything For You by The Rocket Summer is playing right now... I like the way this song grooves.

I've also generated quite the chronic headache tonight. I took an Excedrin earlier and it helped a lot, but now my head is splitting. Possibly a mix of the stupid choice of late night espresso mixed with the fact that I need a new prescription for my glasses.

So I've started yawning over and over again in the last few seconds... I'm taking that as my cue that my body may be finally ready to fall asleep. Needtobreathe is closing the night out on The Padlock.

Goodnight all.
