Do you have a list of songs that get you through life; a playlist that is programmed onto your iPod with the title LIFE? Well I have such a list.When I was in Middle School/High School my parents watched the show Ally McBeal. I loved the show for a number of reasons. The mature adolescence I was, thought the show was written brilliantly; and at this time I knew a lot about TV. Seriously, I watched lots of TV as a kid/teenager. I could recognize a great show! Anyway, my favorite character on the show was John Cage. John was a bit of an odd character. He had repeated scenes with him in the bathroom dancing to Al Green. He claimed the songs gave him confidence to squash all the challenges of life, including asking hot girls out on dates.
After watching John Cage rock out in the bathroom and win court cases, I decided I needed to adopt this philosophy for life. At the age of 15, I started compiling my own Soundtrack for Life, but now I call it my Playlist for Life. These are the songs that make me feel like I can take on the world. They make me feel like a million bucks! These are the songs that help me get through a bad day, or bad month if life is real bad. SOOOO without farther a due here is a sampling of my Playlist for Life….

I love that you waited until your second to last song to say "I never sait it was made up of great songs!"
I should do this. It's a good idea.
how fun! DH has been collecting Pepsi points for free music downloads for his MP3 player, so the other night we were going through the list and picking out cool music. I had fun cuz even though his taste in music is a bit different than mine, we were able to choose songs that we both liked a lot.
Hilarious. When I saw "touch my body," I was thinking two things: #1 - shame on her (ha ha) and #2 I can't believe she would admit to this on her blog! Thanks for the laughs.
Kelly- I hate to admit this but I kind of like the song..it has a good beat. haha
Renee- What songs did you guys pick out?
TC- I never claim to have great taste in music. HAHA
