Make sure I'm around when you've finally got something to say

It's been a while since I've posted, by my standards at least.  Everyone else seems to have abandoned their blogs completely, and while I don't have a whole lot to report I certainly don't want to admit to myself that I might be just like "everyone else", so I've decided to post a lengthy playlist I made for Jimmy and Lorin's cross-country trek.  I know it's not much, but it'll have to do until either: a) John gets his heart broken again and finds a reservoir of emotional baggage to dump onto poor blogspot, b) John gets wired on caffeine and decides to post something silly that he will be excited about for all of two hours, or 3) John gets bored, tosses a few back and searches desperately for something to post to his ailing blog.  As most of us know, I am an affirmation whore, so if you have any positive comments it will aide the regular updating of this blog, as well as make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.  And I do like feeling warm and fuzzy.  The order of the songs is alphabetical by album (approximately), and I will post a download for these tracks upon request.  Be well.
