"Don't look away, don't run away. Baby it's only life"

Ok so the season has officially changed.  We kinda slid right by Spring and are heading full on into Summer.  With the exception of some awesome spring-time thunderstorms and cool nights...Summer is right.around.the.corner :)  I'm a total believer in that seasonal mood disorder thing.  At the end of every season I've had enough, especially cold seasons.  I get grouchy and irritable and nobody is safe haha. 

For this very reason I decided that it's time for a new mix.  Most of my music is really good (I'm prideful enough to believe I have fairly good taste), but my kind of good good good music tends to be a little slow and chill.  I needed to get out of my winter time slumpy grumpy bluesy chill mood and find some upbeat get ready for the sun music.

So here ya go!  My May 2010 pray that it doesn't snow again or go below 50 degrees Mix!

So there you go!  It's long, but as most of you know, I have a problem with editing when it comes to music :)  Most of them have extra meaning because they literally relate to my life at the moment....but it puts me in a good mood, and it's not the radio!! 

Love and stuff :)
