Music for Your Mood

So we've covered movies (so I start lot's of sentences with the word so), let's talk about music.  Sometimes you get into a particular mood and you need to validate your feelings with music (or sometimes you just want music to fuel your rage-fire).  I get this way quite often, I actually have a playlist on my computer titled "Anger Management."  Clever idea in the beginning, a list of songs meant to fuel my fire/calm me down (it was a 50/50 deal) when I was in a bad mood; unfortunately, over time, my "Anger Management" list became diluted into "Music Sarah Listens To All the Time/New Music Sarah Wants to Start Listening To All the Time" list.

This is a fairly abbreviated taste of the music I listen to and I am ALWAYS looking for new music so PLEASE comment with your own favorites if it doesn't waste too much of your time and energy.

It is now sufficiently late, but that's ok, only one class tomorrow then I'm on BREAK!!!  Which means making cookies and taking a nap so woo-hoo for that.  'Night World!

P.S. I am too lazy and tired to add links for all those songs at this particular moment in time, but I will do it eventually. . . . . .probably. . . . . . . .or you can just YouTube it yourself. 

Here, have a laugh before you go to bed. . . . . .or start your day?  It's funny whenever you watch it (and it's only 2 and 1/2 minutes long):
