Roadtrip
Even though my chances of marriage have dwindled down to an unspeakably low percentage rate, I'm still working on my quest for holy matrimony and happily for everyone involved (except possibly the ball and chain, but I can't be sure), it's going real well.
I've made it to step #5 and while THE CRUSH is not in the cheeriest of moods (she's signing the he's-totally-at-fault divorce papers tomorrow; I'll be there at the courthouse with balloons and an ice cream cone), she's ready to get away for a while and agreed to go on a roadtrip with me. Boo yeah! Oh wait, I have to practice my serious and concerned face; not the giddy, manic one. This is hard.
Subtle difference? Yes, but it's all in the context.
But anyways, we're headed to Massachusetts after she eats her ice cream. You know who else is just as excited for the upcoming nuptials? My iPod lover! It's coming along for the ride. My know-it-all little brother knew how to install a wired fm modulator since I don't have any auxiliary inputs for a mp3 player on my stereo. Now I can begin the brainwas...winning over her heart static-free BEFORE we get to the courthouse in Boston (or Provincetown if I get desperate for more "coaxing" help). Yeah, that's going to be a tricky step and/or manuever...
But no worries now. I must assemble a perfect playlist.
- Love the one you're with by CSN- oh yes, this will be the theme song
- Can't fight this feeling by REO Speedwagon - perhaps she will empathize and take ownership of the feeling Mr. Speedwagon is singing about
- Lost in your eyes by Debbie Gibson - oh how the romance oozes out of this song wow
That's enough. I'll put these awesome songs on shuffle and then repeat and I predict something EXCITING happens before we even hit the Mason-Dixon line.

So the fast times and loose women lifetstyle of Rio is finally catching up to me, resulting in a shortage of sleep and funds, but I couldn't let your great Northeastern expedition go by without adding at least a couple of songs which I actually believe make a much more suitable playlist for your "excursion" across state lines.....
So, in the spirit of your trip.....
"Stop, in the name of love" - The Supremes
"Help" - The Beatles
There will be more forthcoming. Perhaps even before the ice cream is completely melted!

HEY! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING DOWN THERE WITH MY MONEY?
In your drunken haze, you forgot:
"Must be crazy for me" - Melissa Etheridge
She is, you know. She's just crazy for me...about me...at me...because of me...hmmm, I'm not sure which preposition sounds right and/or honest.

You see, my dear, that's the beauty of cash. No paper trail, no incriminating evidence for any legal actions which may or may not be contemplated against you. What happens in Rio stays in Rio! (except of course for the 30 different photos of the said Rio event taken by the 20 different cameras of your new law school best friends).
And personally I think just plain old "Crazy" is a more fitting song for your playlist. Although lord knows Melissa Etheridge is certainly appropriate mood music for any psychotic obsession anyone may have at any given moment....
