30 Days of Me- Day 10

Day 10- Songs you listen to when you are Happy, Sad, Bored, Hyped, Mad

For the most part, I don't really have specific music that I listen to depending on my mood. I pretty much put my iPod on shuffle every time I turn it on and let it play. If a song hits me for the moment I turn the volume up. Then I forget to turn it down, so the next good song gets a little louder. It's really a vicious cycle. Once the volume is on as loud as it can go I might remember to turn it down, or I might not. It all depends on how I feel.

There is an exception to this rule, though. I had a CD that I made for my car called "Energy." It was all the songs that really got me pumped. I would play that whenever I was driving and I needed inspiration or was so excited I could jump around. Obviously I can't do that while driving, so I needed a different distraction. That CD got worn out, and I haven't made another one yet, but I will soon. Just as soon as I'm in the driver's seat again. The CD needed to be updated, anyway.

I will attempt to name a song for each of these categories in the spirit of the 30 Days of Me challenge.

Happy: Bubbly by Colbie Caillat

Sad: Worried Shoes by Karen O and the Kids from the Where the Wild Things Are soundtrack

Bored: Linus and Lucy by Wynton Marsalls (Any of the Peanuts music by this artist is fun. Give it a try!)

Hyped: Centerfield by John Fogerty (This song actually works to GET me hyped, too. I listen to it on the way to job interviews or important tests. Any time I need to feel powerful or in control, this song works for me.)

Mad: Far Behind by Candlebox (Caution: This song is NOT family friendly in some parts. Please listen at your own discretion.)

I had my husband help me with this list. When I told him what I was doing he laughed. "You don't have specific music you listen to when you are in a certain mood." The man knows me well.

I really enjoyed writing this post, so I'm linking it up to Thirsty for Comments Thursday. Welcome new readers!
