If My Life Was A Musical…
I think it would be in the big band style of the amazing Chicago. “Saturday In the Park,” “Does Anybody Know What Time It Is?”… they all just seem to cheer me right up and narrarate my daily life. If I made movies, I’d film myself walking around at a pleasant pace and play Chicago in the background.
Speaking of “if my made movies” and music, I’m working on another one of those “My Soundtrack” projects with Harp and Taylor. Here’s what I have so far. The one’s in bold are the ones I’m basically sure about.

Obviously I have a lot of holes to fill in. I just have way too many songs for each one! Suggestions are welcome. I’m also trying to get going on JR’s All Time Favorite Songs. Basically it’ll be a massive list of all the songs I love. Every single one of them. Or at least I want to have a list of all the artists I could never live without and (at most) 10 songs I love of theirs. My dream for the past 3 years or so has been to have an incredibly organized music collection with playlists and cds for every single situation imaginable. Yeah… good luck with that. I know…
Just an Update
They should have school right now. I’m such a night owl that I think I’m probably my most productive after 1:30 pm. Too bad I’ve only had maybe 4 hours of sleep and I need to get up for class at 8. This week is going to suck!
…at least Taylor and Dylan paid me back. Mixed with some goodies from Corey and Topanga…. I had a bomb ass night!
My birthday was a good time for sure. Belle and Sebastian both made the trip, same with Harp and some of my crew from school. And I’ve been hanging out with Layla a lot more lately too. She even mentioned living together next year. So even though I’m broke as shit this month… at least things have been nothing too much to bitch about. I have the greatest friends in the world! I’ll give more details at a later time.
I bought a real journal a while back. It was an attempt at trying to get back to my old habits and rhytmn. I wrote one completely pointless 10 pager and haven’t touched it since. I’m trying though, I promise!
I can’t resist the call of another round of Spider Solitare any longer!
Until next time!
