Saw this on Christopher’s site (he saw it on Trina’s site (she got it from her brother-in-law (he saw it on CC Chapman’s site (he got it as a chain mail from his sister))))… have I mentioned I have trouble staying on track? Where was I? Oh yes…
The general idea is this: put your entire music library on shuffle, write down the first 14 tracks and slot them in for these pre-set sections of your life movie (rules, my play list and movie scenes below).
So, here’s the thing, I wanted to link to clips of each of the tracks so people would be able to listen to them if curious, but Amazon doesn’t have samples of all these tracks… so I instead went waaaaayyyy off the reservation and and started pulling pictures in from my life, slapping them into Photo Story and adding the musical tracks. The end result lands somewhere between nostalgia and narcissism.

WOW – you really went above and beyond! You overachiever, you!
It’s really great, though. We had fun seeing all of your photos and watching you grow up! By the way, great hair!
::clap clap clap:: That was wonderful. I totally dug your long hair. Seriously dude, that was an awesome display. It was great seeing you grow up right in front of my eyes. You and Paula look so good together.
