I suppose I could talk about the whole joys & horrors of moving, first home ownership, first mortgage payment (OW!!), etc. But forget all that, let's go for a Music Meme...

-Put iTunes on shuffle.
-Pick your favorite line(s) to the first 30 songs, no matter how embarassing.
-Have your friends guess what songs the lines are from.
-Bold the ones people have already gotten

Okay, so my musical taste runs from embarrassing to obscure, and twelve of the first 30 songs were instrumentals (don't worry, I didn't use those). Anyway, here they are, for anyone who cares to play once again.

1. Baby my love will last / (how long?) /Long as life’s in my body

2. A walk through hell ain't bad compared to where we've been

3. Now I need a pound of fatback drums...

4. And she laughed and she cried and she tried to taunt him / And he hated to be separated

5. When you were a child you were treated kind / But you were never brought up right

6. Ain't about no cotton fields or cotton picking lies

7. I hear the drums echoing tonight / But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation -- "Africa" by Toto, guessed by mymzee

8. We'll move up into the mountains so far we can't be found / And throw "I love you" echoes down the canyon "Please Come to Boston," by Dave Loggins (this version by Willie Nelson), guessed by franwi

9. Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend / Which came as some surprise

10. Other peoples' thoughts they ain't your hand-me-downs

11. Father will do the best that he can/ But he can't do and he can't understand

12. I'd see his frown behind the lighter's flame / Now that same frown's in my mirror

13. You always scold me whenever somebody is near, dear

14. Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind -- "Carolina in My Mind" by James Taylor, guessed by mymzee

15. Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake / Luck ain't even lucky -- "It's My Life," by Bon Jovi, guessed by mymzee

16. I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all / Many times I've often prayed

17. Won't you help to sing these songs of freedom -- "Redemption Song," by Bob Marley (this version by Sinead O'Connor), guessed by ultraviolet730

18. We'll hitch-hike, bus, or yellow cab it / (Cab it?) -- "Movin' Right Along," by the Muppets (Kermit & Fozzie, specifically), guessed by mymzee

19. If I but ask He kindly will help me

20. Say little darling' if you were mine / Wouldn't do nothin' but starch and iron

21. The most original, amazing, astounding, miraculous remarkable, startling, sensational, stupendous music that has ever been created is ours - but believe me it was complicated -- "Brand New Funk," by DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, guessed by mymzee

22. Look around, my little friend / Jubilation in the land

23. A hundred dead guitarists lying in the cemet'ry

24. You make me forget myself / I thought I was someone else / Someone good

25. 'Cause I sat beside you then / and I felt the warmth as it left your hands

26. You're always up to no good / you catch on like a bonfire

27. I don't care about the cold, baby / 'Cause when you're hot, you're too much

28. I can't believe you had a life before me / I can't believe they let you run around free

29. Each and every single day I know / I'm going to have to eventually give you away -- "I'm Like A Bird," by Nelly Furtado, guessed by mymzee

30. It's the perfect ending / to the bad day I was just beginning -- "My Favorite Mistake," by Sheryl Crow, guessed by mymzee

Well, I'm all worn out just getting this thing set up...

I have been warned by someone I've trusted for more years than I care to admit to that blogging will ruin your life and wreck your writing. So it's probably a good thing I'm too lazy to do much.

I have no idea what this will be--I started it mainly to hang out more comfortably with some old PCO friends. We'll just see how it goes, I guess.

Maybe Tomorrow
