Millennium SuperMix

Well, music has been part of my life since I got Michael Jackson's Thriller cassette album when I was a kid and always listened to songs on the radio and recorded them on my cassette tapes(yeah, I STILL have cassette tapes, I am totally old-school). But whenever I go somewhere or be with friends and whatnot,I would hear a song playing somewhere and then whenever I hear that song at home, it would remind me of that person, place, or thing. I really don't know why that is but it just does, I am weird like that. So here my top songs in different categories/situations I went through, remember some lists may vary between top 5 & top 10. All these songs I have decided to name the Millennium SuperMix!

Now the next 2 top 10 lists I am about to present to you are songs that remind me of a friend of mine that I once HAD a crush on: Paulette Costa. She was cute when I first met her and my methods of impressing her was too Urkelesque and then in 1995,she started dating my good friend Ruben Pimentel. Needless to say, I was heartbroken & angry at her. Imagine my reaction when I found out about their breakup in early 2002,after being engaged in 2001--I was shocked. She ended up getting married in 2004 and now has 2 children. Sometimes things are not meant to be but good things comes to those who wait, he has her happiness, but I am being patient when it comes to women.

The last Top 10 songs list were played on the radio in the Ruby Tuesday kitchen under 2 radio stations: FUN 107 & 95.5 WBRU. Plus, one of the songs on the list was heard by me once over the P.A. system in the front of the house in the restaurant. This was when Ruby Tuesday was a fun place to work at. 

Well, when I quit Ruby Tuesday back in April of 2010 and went to work for the Swansea Mall in May of the same year, I never liked it over there. What made the experience worse over at the Swansea Mall is the songs that mall played and here are the Top 5 songs I hated and will always remind me of the nightmare of working at the Swansea Mall: 

1) Need You Now- Lady A
2) Hey,Soul Sister- Train
3) Bad Romance- Lady Gaga
4) All The Right Moves- One Republic
5) Impossible- Shontelle
