Soundtrack of my Life

I never really watched the show Ally McBeal, but the few clips I did catch involved the characters having soundtracks that defined who they were at the moment. I was thinking about the soundtrack of my life - when I was little it was sitcom themes - cheesy 90s music in high school - country music for about a month when I lived with my friend Becky in College Station. Now the soundtrack of my life is a mix of cartoon theme songs and this:


You only get the full effect if you play it full blast on surround sound. That's what I hear as I clean the kitchen, fold laundry, write articles, talk on the phone, etc. And before you get all judgemental on me and decide that the screaming might stop if i stopped long enough to attend to the poor kid, let me assure you that the screaming continues through hugs, kisses, and peace offerings. Once he gets going, he pretty much has to cry it out on his bed before he can return to his usual, adorable self and join the rest of us. Somebody remind me of this when he's 18 and I cry because he's not my baby anymore.
