Eh, I'm bored, generic, and I can't think of anything terribly interesting to talk about. I was trying to choose between my hatred toward my MP3 player, why playing guitar doesn't get you chicks unless you're NOT in a ska band or good, or why I think Billie Joe Armstrong is a better guitarist than those boring-as-hell shredder types. But I've always found these things fun to do so, here's my life according to my MP3 player on shuffle. It actually turned out alright...
Opening Credits: Go: Apples In Stereo
Good, upbeat way to start.
Waking up: My Generation: The Who
Aw hell yeah
Falling in love: Cheat: The Clash
Must have been a lame love.
Fight song: Scar Tissue: Red Hot Chili Peppers
It's not hard or intense but it works in it's own way.
Break up song: Say It Ain't So: Weezer
Well that ended up being incredibly accurate...
Making Up: Don't Leave Me: Green Day
...as well as this.
Life's Okay: American Gigolo: Weezer
Life is very good
Mental Breakdown: Alone Down There: Modest Mouse
This was very accurate too.
Driving: Soul To Squeeze: Red Hot Chili Peppers
I always felt the Chili Peppers were best on drives, including their older stuff. This works great.
Flashbacks: Double Team: Tenacious D
HAHAHA, greatest flashback ever.
Happy Dance: Today: Smashing Pumpkins
It was the greatest day Ive ever known.
Regret: All Alone In My Big Empty Apartment: Bomb the Music Industry!
Damn
Final Battle: Scattered: Green Day
Weird final battle, scattered pictures on my bedroom floor FTW!
Death Scene: Siva: Smashing Pumpkins
I just kick so much ass
Final Credits: Room Without A Window: Operation Ivy
Well there is always one that does not fit to well
So, overall, it turned out good... it's still not original at all...
Comments:
Yeah, it's fun to do. Besides the last few songs, it was accurate. But about Weezer, I'll never admit that the Blue Album is better than Pinkerton.

This is awesome, I can comment on my own blog. I forgot to mention that it was all on shuffle and random, so I didn't pick the songs. And Dennis, I'll never say that the Blue Album is better than Pinkerton... even if the Blue is really, really, [b]really[/b] good.

I have to admit, all of those songs seem quite fitting for the moments they're supposed to describe. Most of the time that I see these things, there's no rhyme or reason to them, and they end up seeming silly. I mean, yes, I know they're selected randomly, so there's more than a good chance that you're gonna get something like Gorguts to accompany your tender love scene...I did this a while back and was actually surprised at how fitting mine, was as well. Maybe I'll post it. Or maybe I'll go get a sandwich.
Sandwich it is...

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about! Thanks for diving in and being one of the first posters.
Anyway, with regards to your post, I'd buy your soundtrack. I see you picked a song from Weezer's Blue album. I knew it was the better of their first two. ;)
