This is my reality, and I'm sticking with it.

gesum, i just looked at my music collection and i forgot so many artists...frank turner, local natives, tchaikovsky, beethoven, billy joel, coldplay, etc...

alright maybe i could squeeze The Road or Photosynthesis on there....and Ticket Taker. and Summer, Highland Falls. and the Sleeping Beauty score!


i can't live on fifty songs. that's mad i tell you! mad!

I dont think I could pick just 50 songs. I have music playing almost all day from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed unless Im in school or at the gym. Music is my life and I think without all of it I would be very depressed.

Wow! I really am a Kink!
