Twitterpation

I'm a terrible blogger. Don't hate. However, I refuse to let this playlist blog add to my already red alert level of anxiety & stress. I'll update it when I want to.

I made this playlist last week... it's mostly really sweet love songs (go figure). Thus I named it "Twitterpation" from the word "twitterpated" in the movie Bambi. Not from the website "twitter."

Your Call - Secondhand Serenade
Fell in Love Without You (Acoustic) - Motion City Soundtrack
About a Girl - The Academy Is...

The Farsighted See Better Things

One would think that I would be early on this post seeing as how I lost my job Monday. But I'm not. Stupid layoffs. Stupid economy. You know, I had always been "in your face" at the economy. I still shopped. I still ate out. I was stimulating the economy one pair of shoes at a time. And now, the economy has turned on me. Eff that.

Alas, I will not let it keep me down. I will keep plugging along, pursuing my career as a playlist blogger. Lucrative it may not be, but I certainly do enjoy myself.

So, this will be a bit of a continuation of the optimism playlist I had awhile back. It will be eclectic and happy and energetic - kind of like me. Because even without a job, I have so much for which to be thankful. I'm very excited to see what happens next in this adventure I call my life. Enjoy!

10. Brighter Days - Leeland
11. The Shadow Proves the Sunshine - Switchfoot
12. Get Up - Superchick
