Everyone has seen the chain email that is a "life soundtrack" thing. You set your music player on shuffle, and whatever it comes up with is a song that represents a certain aspect of your life. This can sometimes be really funny. Still, yesterday I had a moment. I was walking into troupe through the parking lot. The sun was shining and it was an excellent 60-something degrees. I was happy, and listening to a certain song. It matched the moment PERFECTLY. If I had been in a movie, that song would've been playing at that moment. Amazing.
It got me thinking: if my life was a movie, what would be on the soundtrack? I have some ideas.

There are some embarrassing songs, some I proudly declare that I adore. It was really interesting to go through my music and pick 35 songs that I felt represented my life. It was funny to see the many different styles that appeared on this list. I would go through and explain each song, but it's a little personal. I'm sure that most of you who know me well already know why these songs are here.
Peace from the East,
