A mix CD about the last 2 1/3 (or 10) years of my life....

Sometimes I make mix CDs just for the hell of it. Just to have songs I like in a certain order (even if I all ready have them in a different order on five other CDs). Sometimes I make a mix CD with a theme that isn't that apparent upon first listen. Sometimes I make mix CDs as "soundtracks."

This is a soundtrack. One to the past two years, four months of my life. (Or ten years-- depends on how you look at it.) I made it because I needed to have these songs in this order. I made copies for my two best friends, as a token of appreciation (I made them read a long, boring, somewhat depressing written version of the events these songs are supposed to represent).

This isn't one of those mix CDs I made to sound good. It was made because the lyrics of the song relate to the events... That's why there are so many bad songs on here.

I think that some of these tracks add humour to the event(s) they describe. Which is good, because I about depressed one of my friends to death with the story.
