Soundtrack of Your Life
Hello everyone!

I just read this blog by Dan Wallace, and I thought it was hilarious. It's brilliant! So I'm going to do it to!

Opening Credits:
"You're All that I Have" by Snow Patrol.

Waking Up:
"Waiting on the World to Change" by John Mayer. This fits excellently. I am always talking/thinking about how the world could change, and how it could be a better place, so this would be a great song to play as I woke up!

First Day At School:
"Going Where My Heart Will Take Me" (The ST:Enterprise Theme) by Russel Watson. Again, this fits amazingly. It talks about following your dreams and saying that you can do anything - even reach the stars. That's an awesome 1st day of school song, if you ask me!

Falling In Love:
"She Will Be Loved" by Maroon 5. Honestly, I didn't plan this! I'm pretty lucky, if you ask me (only here though... my luck is dreadfully atrocious!).

Fight Song:
"Save Your Scissors" by City and Colour. An interesting combination. I couldn't exactly see it playing during a fight, but it would be good if someone broke it up!

Breaking Up:
"How Do You Love?" by Collective Soul. Again, I did not plan this. I swear it! I don't think I have to say anything about this.

Prom:
"California" by Phantom Planet. This works fairly well. But considering I would never go to a school dance, this probably wouldn't matter!

Life:
"Flawed Design" by Stabilo. Well then... I don't think this works well with my life, but oh well! I went with what my MP3 gave me! :D

Mental Breakdown:
"The Riddle (You and I)" by Five For Fighting. Okay. I can kind of see it. It talks about how the only think that matters in life is being with the one(s) you love. Depending on what kind of mental breakdown was occuring, this could turn out several ways....

Driving:
"All These Things that I've Done" by The Killers. :^O Wow. That's all I have to say.

Flashback:
"Jimmy Gets High" by Daniel Powter. I have to say, this was unexpected. If the title was the same as the flashback, I can assure you it wouldn't be me!

Getting Back Together:
"Lean On Me" by Al Green. That worked out well. I hope everyone sees why!

Wedding:
"Broken" by Seether, Ft. Amy Lee (of Evanescence). The song goes like this: "Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome. And I don't feel right when you're gone away." (or something to that effect). Doesn't really fit with a wedding, I don't think!

Birth of Child:
"Don't Tell Me" by Madonna. Considering the fact that I love kids, and I want some, I don't think this one works very well.

Final Battle:
"Walk With Me" by Seven in the Sun. Again, this doesn't seem to fit as a battle song. It talks about walking together in harmony. Nope. I just don't see it.

Death Scene:
"Upside Down" by Jack Johnson. This was the song that was made for "Curious George". 'Nough said.

Funeral Song:
"Worry About You" (I first heard it in a The 4400 episode) by Ivy. This works pretty well. If you looked at it from the view of me (the dead dude) worrying about my loved ones, then I think this works!

End Credits:
"L'important c'est d'aimer" by Wilfred LeBouthillier. (This means "The important thing is to love"). I went to a French Immersion school for 2 years, and we would listen to french songs to boost our listening comprehension skills. We all (pretty much) loved this song, so I downloaded it. (Just in case you were wondering why I listen to French music.) This works very well. I'd be happy with this playing for the end credits of my life!

Well, all in all, I think this turned out fairly well. It could have been better, but really, what couldn't in life? Thanks again to Dan Wallace for this great idea!

May the Force be With You, Happy 30th Anniversary, and see you at CIV! (66 days!)

Interesting stuff. Not really on the main topic, but I'm fascinated that you went to a French immersion school. I think that's cool.

Great job! I think that Jack Johnson's "Upside Down," if scored to a death scene, could be the saddest thing ever. :)

Thanks loyal friends for your comments!

Thank you. I was getting kind of bored in "normal" school, and I was in a really bad situation there, so I decided to go to Frech school for an extra challenge. It was the best decision of my life. I made the best friends of my life there, and the school was relatively small, so there was this great sense of community. Everybody knew everybody, and we were all (except for a few, of course) friends.

I graduated last year at the top of my class, and having only been doing french for two years, that was quite an accomplishment, if I do say so myself. Those were the two best years of my life, and I miss being there.

Great job! ... Nicely done
Thanks a lot! I had lots of laughs doing it!

Al Green? I'm impressed! He's on my iPod, too. You've got some good stuff on your list! B-)

Hey dude,

heh sorry to keep you waiting, I've been rather busy, preparing to move as well as other stuff. I promise I'll get back on the blogging horse soon.

And I dig John Mayer too.
