Quickie with Stevo...mixed tapes!

Congratulations to Emily for finally picking up her much anticipated new book, "Breaking Wind"... I made Amy a playlist on my ipod that she can listen to while she runs. It reminds me of the teenage years when people would make mixed tapes for the objects of their affections. It typically involved some hair band ballads, some Chris Isaak and maybe even a little R&B depending on how into diversity you were! I recall Big Dave making numerous tapes for his women...it worked for the first couple of days, then they were usually broken up after a week, two weeks tops. I never made mixed tapes for anyone...mainly because I was too much of a retard to attract anyone of the opposite sex. The playlist I made for Amy is definitely not of the Chris Isaak variety. She wanted something to get her fired up while she goes on her runs, so I included a variety of "fire it up" music that includes Metallica, Slayer and Rage Against the Machine. I slipped the Slayer song in just to see how she would react and she actually likes it!

clarification... I just finished reading Breaking Dawn. It was a great book. Worth the wait. Thanks Steffan I had no idea you paid that much attention.

Emily, though I appreciate the attempt at clarification, I got the title right the first time...

I think Amy gave me my first ever mix tape. Was it in an attempt to woo me? At any rate, I LOVED it...and I think I may still have it somewhere. I will never be able to hear a Collective Soul song and not think of cruising the taco bell with Amy in my mom's audi...man those were good times!!
