Saw this on Christopher’s site<\/a> (he saw it on Trina’s site<\/a> (she got it from her brother-in-law<\/a> (he saw it on CC Chapman’s site<\/a> (he got it as a chain mail from his sister))))… have I mentioned I have trouble staying on track?  Where was I?  Oh yes…  <\/p>\n

The general idea is this: put your entire music library on shuffle, write down the first 14 tracks and slot them in for these pre-set sections of your life movie (rules, my play list and movie scenes below).<\/p>\n

So, here’s the thing, I wanted to link to clips of each of the tracks so people would be able to listen to them if curious, but Amazon doesn’t have samples of all these tracks… so I instead went waaaaayyyy off the reservation and and started pulling pictures in from my life, slapping them into Photo Story and adding the musical tracks.  The end result lands somewhere between nostalgia and narcissism. <\/p>\n

Steps\/rules: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)\n
  2. Put it on shuffle\n
  3. Press play\n
  4. For every section below, type the song that\u2019s playing\n
  5. When you go to a new section, press the next button\n
  6. Don\u2019t lie and try to pretend you\u2019re cool \u2026 <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
