“Tell Me All of Your Doubts”

Saw Inception today again. If people have been talking about it like crazy on facebook, and you roll your eyes, don’t. That movie is pretty much as good as everyone says. Confusing, hells yeah. But…damn. Just damn.

So maybe you’re wondering after all this time we’ve had together what the inner workings of my mind are. “What’s your top 25 most played?” you ask me. Today, I bring you the answer. This list is legit. I’m sure you’ll recognize some of them too…

What does this tell you? It tells you I’m partial to Coldplay. It probably tells you I like instrumentals and soundtracks. I like songs for when I’m sad mostly, but I like songs with love and that’s ironic, seeing as I think love is a myth.

But mostly it tells you that the last thing I do before I go to bed is I put on my music. And it’s the only thing that puts me to sleep. So long as it’s not Sum 41.

A song that will soon migrate to my top 25 most played:

Hans Zimmer – Time

Now, I need to go to bed. Mostly because it’s been a long…long night for me. Let’s just say I need some quality time with “A Bad Dream” and “Breathe In Breathe Out.” Also I’ll spend some time on this thing I’ve been writing. I don’t know what it is, because I can only write it when I’m overtired. I guess it’s a story, but it’s a shit story. And you can guess I’m only sharing this with you because – that’s right – I’m overtired.

…Inception kicked ass.
