What an awesome post. Michelle &...Thanks, Lauren. What an awesome post. Michelle & I haven't fully settled here in Buffalo, and it's so refreshing to get glimpes into the lives of those we used to see all the time in Cleveland. It's so fascinating to read through your list. I'm going to have a weird list myself.<br /><br />Bryan Adams reminds me of awkward middle school dances. I didn't listen to a lot of radio in high school, but I played countless hours of Vivaldi (yes, Vivaldi) concertos on my violin.<br /><br />I listened to a lot of Tori Amos's "Little Earthquakes" album early in college when Michelle & I broke up due to transitioning from being a high school couple to a long-distance relationship. "China" in particular seemed to resonate, since she was in China over the holidays. Pink Floyd's "Learning to Fly" helped me out later in college, as I learned to battle through depression & failure.<br /><br />After getting married & before kids, I used to play more video games. One in particular I altered to play "The Wheat" and "The Battle" from the excellent Gladiator soundtrack. I probably heard it 300 times, and it invokes memories of our house in Brunswick.<br /><br />More recently, I've been in search of non-lyrical music I can play while working. Blue Man Group was the sound of 5 years ago, while Lindsey Stirling is dominating iTunes more recently. Christopher Tin's amazing "Calling All Dawns" song cycle both resonated with Michelle & I within the last couple years, of course anchored by his amazing rendition of "Baba Yetu."Mike Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06279519667020445898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9134844337638432219.post-2136409111915311182013-05-27T13:09:18.726-04:002013-05-27T13:09:18.726-04:00Omg lauren i had to learn about the Jonestown Mass...Omg lauren i had to learn about the Jonestown Massacre in a class i took in high school, we studied it for almost 2 weeks. It still freaks me out and is terribly sad. It was one of those things that was so interesting but at the same time did nothing good for my heart. We had to watch the documentary too, so i completely understand.

Your picture here brought back a very random memory I hadn't thought about in years. Wow.Gabi Dickinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10047410746695473845noreply@blogger.com
