I know this song is a little ghetto for my usual tastes.  I loved this song when it was first released and I still think it is great.  It may be considered gangsta rap, but is it really?

14 - a song that no one would expect you to love –

Regulators by Warren G from Regulate 1994

End of the Innocence by Don Henley from End of the Innocence 1989

30 Song Challenge Song Six

This song reminds me of the summers I spent as a child in Ellicott City, Howard County Maryland.  They were the best times of my life with some of the greatest friends I ever had.  Every time I hear this song it reminds me of all those times and those people.  Michael, Brian, Kenny, Chris, Drew, Katie, and Amy those were the days.

06 - a song that reminds you of somewhere:

This Use to be My Playground by Madonna from A League of Their Own Soundtrack and Erotica 1992

30 Song Challenge Song Five

This song reminds me of my first love.  This was our song and to the day we die it will always remind me of what we once had, how special it was, and how it all got messed up and slipped away.  The three years I spent with him were some of the happiest of my life.

05 - a song that reminds you of someone:

All My Life by KC and JoJo from the album Love Always 1998

30 Song Challenge Song Four

This song brings back a million memories for me.  It reminds me of my childhood and the friendship with my cousin Jessica I once held so dear that has slipped away over the years.  It reminds me of times lost, people dead and gone, and friendships that evaporated for no good reason or because of imagined slights.

day 04 - a song that makes you sad

Time after Time by Cyndi Lauper She’s So Unusual 1984

30 Song Challenge Song Three

03 - A song that makes you happy

This song is happy, fun, and fierce.  This video is very different and original so I adore it.  Despite being typical poppy garbage, I actually do like a lot of Rihanna's music.  I think it is because she is so different so it makes the music more fun and original.

S&M by Rihanna from Loud 2010

30 Song Challenge Song Two

02 - Your Least Favorite Song

I hate a lot of songs.  Many are dull, uninspired, unoriginal, and basic steaming piles of dog shit.  I like things that are original, heartfelt, inspirational, and groundbreaking.  This is just my all time least favorite song, but I hate A LOT of music.  I will not share a video of this song because I would not want to torture you with this heaping helping of self indulenge and pure vomit inducing vocals.

Put A Ring On It by Beyonce from I Am Sasha Fierce 2008

30 Song Challenge Song One

This was orignally designed as a facebook 30 day challenge but for good measure I am posting it to my blog for retrospet and archival nuiance.  I have changed the name to the 30 Song Challenge to better suit my blog. Enjoy!

01 - your favorite song: Bullet with Butterfly Wings by The Smashing Pumpkins from the album Mellon Collie and The Infinite Sadness 1995

     

I have no voice for my creative and pop cultural endeavors so I will try this. I am a very jaded person with a quirky sense of humor and a jaded sense optimism. Enjoy
