Life's Playlist

Nicole sent this to me the other day. I’ve seen something like this before. One of those MySpace bulletin things. But I’ve never actually had the guts to pull the trigger. Never sat down and determined what the soundtrack to my biopic would be like. According to the directions, I pulled out my iPod, hit shuffle, pressed play, and then listed the songs accordingly. These are all going to be great songs. Because I put nothing but great songs on my iPod.

“You Don’t Know Me” by Ray Charles

“She Loves You” by The Beatles

First Day at School:

I take it back… they’re not all great. And some of them really just don’t make sense at all.
