Rolling with the Punches

Up and down...up and down...that's the way this always seems to go.
Don't know what to do.
Do i stick with it, or get out while i still can?
Is the attention of another a good enough reason to realize what i want and deserve?
Maybe the grass just appears greener on the other side.
There'd be a lot of changes to be made.
There'd be a lot of things to take care of.
Are those worth staying?
Happier avoiding, or happier facing?
Am i truley not getting what i want/deserve?
I can't imagine i seriously blinded myself this much.
Then again, maybe I have.

QUESTION: If your life is a movie, what songs are on the soundtrack?
Here's how it works:
1. Open iTunes (or whatever ya got)
2. Put it on shuffle and press play
3. For every question, type the song that's playing
4. Make up a Title and choose your Cast

Title:
Let it Play Out

Cast:
Drew Barrymoore (as Jenna)
Jason Stathem (as J)
Jack Black (as Joey)
Kevin Smith (as James F)
Michael Buble (as James W)
Sally Field (as Gramey)
Sean Connery (as Grampey) (b/c it'd be kewl)
Monique (as CW)
Susan Sarandon (as Mom)
Bruce Willis (as Dad) (this just keeps getting better)

(rolls yet to be filled: George, Daniel, Patrick, and several others)


Opening Credits (and DVD Menu): Fall For You- Secondhand Seranade
I'm totally in love with this song right now, too! It's a good opener...talks about a struggle! Life has been that way for me for awhile!

Waking Up: Expo '86- Death Cab for Cutie
While i think that this is supposed to be waking up from sleep, this song makes me think of waking up from a haze. That's going on for me right now.

First Day At School: It's Over- Jesse MacCartney
I'm starting to see a theme here! lol Yeah, school is already over for me. That is true.

Falling In Love: Tell You Something- Alicia Keys
Talks about trying before it's too late! That's exceptionally fitting right now!

Fight Song: The Trouble with Love Is- Kelley Clarkson
Yeah, this is a lover but a fighter song! :o)

Breaking Up: My Heart Will Go On- Celine Dion
It's like you're over and yet in your mind/heart you re-visit the relationship. You know it's done but you are reminiscing in order to move on.

Prom: Like You'll Never See Me Again- Alicia Keys
I take this two ways, one: it's almost the end of the year so you're supposed to cherish the moments and life them to their fullest; two: it could be between two high school lovers who are going to loose their innocene that night!

Life: The New Year- Death Cab for Cutie
Yeah, i'm feeling this way right now about life. This song talks about how it's the new year, but nothing has changed. and how he wishes things could go back to a simpler, less complicated time. i'm totally there w/him on that.

Mental Breakdown: There For You- Flyleaf
Wow this great for a mental breakdown. Such a deep meaningful song about internal struggle.

Instrumental Intermission (two): Stomp- God's Property & Hand's Held High- Linkin Park
Two very good songs. One wakes you up and the next calms you back down for the movie.

Flashback: Who Do You Think You Are- Spice Girls
I LOVE THE SPICE GIRLS!!! This is a great flashback song for my life!

Wedding: You Are the Only One- God's Property
While technically a gospel song about God, the lyrics still fit for a spouse! Good lines!

Birth of Child: No More Sorrow- Linkin Park
The lyrics in this song make me not want to bring a kid into the world! lol But I love Linkin Park so i'll listen anyway!

Final Battle: Valentine's Day- Linkin Park
"My insides are turned to ash, so slow And blew away as I collapsed, so cold"
wow, what a perfect song so for the final battle. it's technically about a lover gone...but hey, the lyrics are working for me.

Death Scene: We Hustle- Mary J. Blige
hahahaha umm...ok!?!?! I don't know about this one!

Funeral Song: No One- Alicia Keys
"I just want you close, where you can stay forever" sounds like someone is in denial over the death! but i like the part "everything is going to be alright". I try to have that outlook so maybe it'd be my song to peoples attending?!?!

End Credits: In Between- Linkin Park
(this has become less of a shuffle than it really should be)
WOW!! This a great song for ending credits. Couldn't have picked something better, really!

End Credits (Secondary): I'm Sorry- Flyleaf
Flyleaf is an awesome group...so i'm happy to have them at the end of my life movie. Great song to end with as well. Deep and loud!
