Crap. How did I get to be 30 already? It seems like only last Tuesday it was 1999 and I was 29. Well...now that I'm all growed up, I guess I've got to listen to grown-up music. Ahhh...easy listening. Or, wait!!! Frank Sinatra, yup, Frank, Deano those dudes, they were the sh*t. Now what to … Continue reading Twisted MixTape 18
100 Word Song – Mirrors
CiCi woke up to the sun shining gently across the sheets. Breathing deeply, she felt peaceful; as she lay there the memory of the day before came back more gently than she had expected. She was comforted by the realization that as she assimilated this new information, she filled a void she hadn't even known … Continue reading 100 Word Song – Mirrors

Welcome to Twisted MixTape Tuesday, this week we disembark from the 90's. This decade has been the most versatile and controversial yet. For me the 90's were an extremely transitional period. I transferred college 6 times, lived in 4 states, graduated in 6.5 years. Took one year off to follow The Grateful Dead. Managed … Continue reading Twisted MixTape 17
Old School Blogging
So my friend Dana over at Kiss My List tagged me in the Old School Blogging Lists of Five. I am happily playing along, because it's fun, and I don't want to think of something serious and poignant to write. Funnily enough, I couldn't think of 5 things I'd like to do before I … Continue reading Old School Blogging
I Am Not Getting A Job
Tonight as I was getting the boy ready for bed he told me out of the blue: I'm going to be the kind of person who doesn't work. Oh really, sweetheart? What are you going to do? Well, I'm not going to work. Well, you have to get a job. Everyone needs a job. I … Continue reading I Am Not Getting A Job

It's been a crazy ride so far this summer and I'm loving it. The process of creating mixtapes based on the decade has forced me to look back and think of the music I was listening to "way back when." I can't help but think of what was happening in my life and it's … Continue reading Twisted MixTape Tuesday 16
100 Word Song – People Have the Power
I've been writing a disjointed story/treatment for a novel/short story - in the form of responses to the perfect and fantabulous prompt - in the form of a song - hosted by my most crazy musical brother in arms Lance from My Blog Can Beat Up Your Blog. The only rule? Your post must be … Continue reading 100 Word Song – People Have the Power
Sabra
Her feet pounded on the dry cracked earth. Dust rose like smoke clouds behind her as she ran across the barren expanse of land: A courtyard surrounded by housing for the Military Officers. There were no children playing out in the open; at any moment there could be shells, or gun shots. She got home … Continue reading Sabra

I can't believe how hard these lists have been. For a decade that most people say was void of much "quality" music. It's been nearly impossible to stick to my own rules. So much so that I was tempted to have an 80's vol 3, but it's time to move on. We've all tracked down … Continue reading Twisted MixTape Tuesday 15
Twisted MixTape Tuesday 14
The 80's - the decade of big hair. Isn't that how we remember it? For me, the 80's is a pretty expansive decade. Being a decade baby (born on the actual decade - yes I made that term up) the decades seem pretty huge to me. Especially the 80's. It started in my early adolescence, … Continue reading Twisted MixTape Tuesday 14
