Inspired by High Fidelity --- My Top Five Songs (Tonight)

1. The Joker -- Steve Miller Band
2. Dreams -- Otis Redding
3. You're the First, My Last, My Everything -- Barry White
4. Bittersweet - Big Head Todd and the Monsters
5. Kerosene -- Miranda Lambert

These five songs always make me smile. Today, I had The Joker stuck in my head and remembered fondly of driving around Franklin with Jared in his white Ford Mustang. The other four songs have memories to go along with each and that I know I will never forget. With Dreams and Bittersweet, I'll remember Sweet Williams flowers and a brick wall. Thinking back to the lyrics of both of the songs, I wonder, if I ever really knew the truth about the man behind those songs. I hope so. Barry ... Good ole Barry. I love this song and want a man to sing it to -- I thought I had that once but now I'm not too sure. Regardless of how it is now, I'll always remember the card that I gave him to listen to this song. And, Kerosene - Love it. I'm fire, just need some fuel. A song of empowerment that reminds me that I have boots and they will take me wherever I want to go.

And just because I was inspired by the movie ... a funny quote:
"Should I bolt every time I get that feeling in my gut when I meet someone new? Well, I've been listening to my gut since I was 14 years old, and frankly speaking, I've come to the conclusion that my guts have shit for brains." - Rob (John Cusack)
