A Rise to a Challenge

Ah mix tapes. I remember making them of favorite songs on the radio and giving them to friends, but mainly I remember keeping them and listening until they literally wore out. Well friends - here is a mix tape that won't wear out from over use. Yes. A digital mix tape.

In response to Pete's challenge, I have created my very own compilation of tasty musical treats. For my mix tape I went with a theme and decided to go with music I already had. This collection is of what would be dubbed emo songs. This is because everyone has had a bad day and/or a bad breakup. That's what this music is all about - even if it has a more heavy emphasis on the later of the two qualifications.

Luckily you can listen to these tunes without having to assume the full emo persona including tight pants, too small band tee-shirts (it is better if no one knows the band), eye liner for both genders, black hair dye, straightened and badly fringed hair cut. No. You can simply lock yourself in your room, curl up in a little ball in your lonely bed, and drown in the sadness. Well. That might be a little dramatic - but that is what emo is all about.

Anystyle, I enjoyed putting together this play list and hope that you find at least something you like or at least find amusing.

Leah! What a surprise! Kinda like seeing you randomly at Kiss Me Kate, only without the subtle awkwardness of re-meeting your father. But I digress...

Blogger is exciting times. I wish more people would make the switch, it's much more sophisticated and in the long run you can actually make this blogger into your own domain (if you buy one). Pretty soon I'll have a website just for my portfolio. Maybe once I accomplish that I'll make one just for a blog. I need to learn more script!

Thanks for the comments on my poetry. I have a slew of them coming in sort of rapid fire over the next few days, so...expect more. I don't really know how subscriptions work on this thing yet (though they're probably just RSS feeds of some kind), but I'll be sure to subscribe to you.

Later styles,
Chris
