Tiffany's Soundtrack...The coming out party.


I had this unwritten rule than I wouldn't blog after 2 am or 2 beers but I am breaking both of them this evening.
I had this surrealistic moment where I had a full body realization of how weird I am. Dont get me wrong. I embrace this weirdness, in a positive way. I have this juxtaposition of personality traits: the traditional wife who believes your not a good woman unless you remove your husbands shoes and detail his boat..to this polar opposite... independent, idealist, alternative, Type A big thinker...

What triggered my coming out party of weirdness was a list I stumbled upon on MTV. com of the top songs of the year(check it out).
Music is such a strong mental trigger. As soon as your hear a song you heard.. you played in the car you drove before it had car seats in it, you are reminded of who you were then. You can physically feel mental state, your youth, angst, happiness.
I have always been a music fanatic. If I loved a song.... everyone knew it. I played it over and over. Whether it be a 45 single (remember those), CD , MP3 playlist. I am just a music person.
Being reminded of the songs that defined me, not in there inherent content but by just the groove.
I made a random list of my all time favorite albums, that pretty much sums up my "weirdness".
(Links just so you could be included in my party, all radio edits, for the children )

Pink Floyd~ Animals
Madonna ~Confessions on a Dance Floor
Black Sabbath ~We Sold our Souls for Rock and Roll
Eminem~ Slim Shady, Marshall Mathers, Eminem Show (its a tie)
Disney~ Fantasia Soundtrack
Dr. Dre~ The Chronic

***Just a quick update on my previous post.. I look amazingly awesome in a swim dress.
Rock on middle age!
