Birthday Month Shuffle - 7th Edition Day 20


There used to be three residence halls here... Tarastec, Zapotec and Toltec. 

I often imagined if those walls could talk, oh, the stories they would tell.
Nothing tops a college experience.

Today’s song is reminiscent of the drama of being a young adult
Away from home for the first time
Falling in love in a disastrous way
Ah, memories.

is about someone going back to a place where 
their relationship played out...
What if it’s not there any more..?

MyPod Birthday Shuffle IV - Day 13 - Something About You

"Now, how can it be That a love carved out of caring 
Fashioned by fate could suffer so hard 
From the games played once too often 
But making mistakes is a part of life's imperfection 
Born of the years Is it so wrong to be human after all?"

There are SO many things I can say about this song.
The song came out in 1985.
High school graduation and starting college.
Meeting UL 2 (unrequited love) who would later cause a lot of heartache
and hardship over the next three years.
This was the first of many I consider "his songs."
And, this one is so fitting because there were a LOT
of games played, and a LOT of mistakes made
on both sides.  I really wish I could go back and tell
18 year old me not to do it.
Don't fall in love.
But I did, and years later this song
still reminds me of a time in my life when I
thought I could have anything I wanted...
Boy, was I wrong.

I thought I would share this version of the song as well.
It came out in an episode of "Grey's Anatomy" and
I downloaded it to my iPod.

MyPod Birthday Month #20 - And She Was


Total 80's song...

I can still remember the first time I heard this song...
or rather, heard the intro beat...

College
Dorm dance
A good friend of mine was the DJ

It was months of wondering what this song was...
Who sang it...?
Why couldn't I get the beat out of my head...?

Then my DJ friend loaned me his DJ Mix tape,
Yes, I said Mixed Tape

Anyway, this song was the first song on the tape,
and then I knew
Talking Heads
"And She Was"

And I was
Very Happy...

MyPod Birthday Month #11 - When I Hear Music


Debbie Deb, SDSU, Tijuana

This song brings back so many memories of dancing like there was no tomorrow.  Funny how we could dance all night long and never feel tired, and now it's an effort to stay up past 10 on most days....

I lived the full college experience and this song was the soundtrack for the early part of my college days... And, I can still say that "...when I hear music it makes me dance..."  I've never lost that love of music... Maybe not all night long now, but still just long enough...

The Mid 40's are in the Books

For some reason I never got around to writing about traveling to National Parks numbers 44, 45 and now 46...! Back at the end of June...
