Day 15 - Doing the shuffle

Today's topic - place your ipod (or whatever music player you have) on shuffle and list the first 10 songs it plays. Should be fun - I've got a good mix of stuff on it right now...
And as I am enjoying a day off with my son, today should be an awesome day!!

1. Adele - Rolling in the Deep: I love this woman's voice...so much soul. I feel every word she sings.

2. Avett Brothers - The Ballad of Love and Hate: "Love has been waiting, patient and kind. Just wanting a phone call or some kind of sign,That the one that she cares for, who's out of his mind, Will make it back safe to her arms/ Hate stumbles forward and leans in the door. Weary head hung, eyes to the floor. He says "Love, I'm sorry", and she says, 'What for? I'm yours and that's it, Whatever. I should not have been gone for so long. I'm yours and that's it, forever. You're mine and that's it, forever'."
One of the first songs I ever heard by this band - love it...

3. Allie Moss - Melancholy Astronautic Man: This was free from Itunes on some indie summer sampler. Short and sweet.

4. 30 Seconds to Mars - A Beautiful Lie: I have loved Jared Leto since Jordan Catalano first appeared on a television screen. I listened to him sing on My So-Called Life long before everyone else heard him. Still a travesty that series didn't last for more than one season.

5. Weezer - Undone (The Sweater Song): I mentioned I'm a fan of 90's alternative music right?

6. Jennifer Lopez featuring Ja Rule - I'm Real (Murder Remix): I didn't like her regular version but I love the remix. Yes, make fun of me. "Cause I'm real..."

7. Aqua - Turn Back Time: Yes, Barbie Girl was a bigger hit but did you ever listen to that whole cd? It was full of awesome dance songs. This one was the ballad.

8. Sarah McLachlan - Circle: Fumbling Towards Ecstacy is one of my favorite cd's of all time. This one isn't my favorite track, but it's not bad. I still like the song.

9. Four Star Mary - Pain: If you're a Buffy fan, you may recognize this band name as the real band that played when Dingo Ate My Baby performed on the show. From the Buffy soundtrack and I'm not ashamed to own that one.

10. Lemonheads - Become the Enemy: Evan Dando. 'Nuff said. Actually, I will say this about the song. My friend Tiffany introduced me to it while I was trying to recover from the end of my son's father and my relationship. "Oh Love, what you say to me is not how love's supposed to be, and oh what you do to me when you become the enemy" Listened to it over and over.

Day 12 - Picture of where you live

Image
Deviating from the list I originally chose again today because it's a pretty boring topic...who really cares how I found out about blogger and why I have one? That should be obvious - cause I wanted to blog. There ya go. Short, boring post right? Instead, I will post up a picture of where I live - or a close reasonable proximity. You want to see my house? Then be my friend on facebook... The place where I feel most at home though is the beach. Miles and miles of ocean surround me and I'm in heaven. As much as I wish I could be someplace else at times, I feel like I need to be around the water. Yes, I burn. Yes, it's hot and sandy and I make a mess in my car on the way home but while I am there, I just don't care. I live in what is technically a city - albeit a really, really small one that is pretty much dying before my eyes. We are super dependent on the space program and our current administration doesn't feel it's a priority so we are losing jobs and our comm...

A picture of my family

Image
I'm from a big family, but my picture is my own immediate world...Me and my son. I've just blogged about my boy, so I won't give a lot of details but I will do a generic discussion about my family. We're a big family. My mom is one of four girls, and I am the oldest of six (through a blended mix). My dad was one of three but it's more extended family on his side because one of his brothers passed away when he was a teenager and the other has never had children. My paternal grandmother was one of 8 and my paternal grandfather was one of 12. I don't know many of the great aunts and uncles, etc. on my maternal side but my maternal grandmother wasn't an only child either, so there are more family members. Two of my aunts have three kids, and one of my aunts has four. I have a ton of extended cousins and whatnot mostly in Kentucky and Indiana. Three of my sisters also have children so I have one niece and three nephews. One of my cousins also has four ki...

30 days of Krista

A few of my friends are doing this blogging project and I feel inspired to start the new year by attempting to get back to writing for fun instead of just writing legal pleadings all the time. If I can keep it up, then I have another outlet for my sadly waning creativity. Plus, being in a long distance relationship leaves lots of nights where I have nothing to do but miss him, and well, this may help distract me on occasion. So for the first topic I am supposed to post a photo of myself and 15 interesting facts about me...Photo of self posted, now onto the so-called interesting facts about yours truly. 1. I hate snow and really cold weather. Ironically, I've just spent a week in New Hampshire with nothing but snow and cold weather...and for the record, the heat is not on if you have it set for 60 degrees... 2. I believe in God, but I don't believe in forcing myself to go to church. I feel like I've seen too many people play the good Christian on Sunday whi...
