maurice jarre-lawrence of arabia, it's magnificent. the movie and the soundtrack. people who mainly watch modern movies may not like it...
klaus badelt-pirates of the carribean, ned kelly

i'd love to buy some soundtracks but i have no money. my mom refuses to follow through with my plan of giving me money without doing chores to give me something to vouch on that i'll recieve money. so, i need a job but i'm scared that i'll get so lost up in school work if i get a job...
