You know those movies that seem to be on TV all the time. Every time you change the channel, there it is. One of those movies is "High Fidelity" staring John Cusack. The story revolves around Rob ( Cusack) who owns a used record store and keeps track of his life by putting everything into lists. The top 5 songs for a funeral, the top 10 date movies, but most important is the top 5 breakups in his past. For you see, Rob and his girlfriend are breaking up. Rob decides to visit the women in his top five breakup list and find out, why. Although it's on all the time this movie is worth the watch, if only to see a young Catherine Zeta-Jones or Jack Black knock out a fantastic version of Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get it On". It also has a great line by Cusack,"What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?" The character of Rob also makes mix tapes for all his girlfriends. ( now to the point of this blog. If you are not a avid reader of this page and don't know who Bill is, stop at this point and go back to the blog for September 17th and get up to date.)

Bill told me she was going back to Florida on September 30th so this is my last chance to win her over before she leaves. Desperate times call for desperate measures. So what would John Cusack do at this point? You got it, a mix tape. So Bill here is what my mix tape to you would be.

I've been searching a long time
For someone exactly like you
I've been traveling all around the world
Waiting for you to come through.
Someone like you makes it
All worth while
Someone like you keeps
Me satisfied. Someone exactlyLike you.

I love you so, I always will

And in your voice I hear a choir of carousels

Oh, but am I ever gonna hear my wedding bells

I was the one who came runnin' when you were lonely

I haven't lived one day not lovin' you only

But kisses and love won't carry me til you marry me Bill

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.

You're beautiful, it's true.

I saw you face in a crowded place,

And I don't know what to do,

'Cause I'll never be with you.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.

You're beautiful, it's true.

There must be an angel with a smile on her face,

When she thought up that I should be with you.

But it's time to face the truth,

I will never be with you.

You give your hand to me,

And then you say, "Goodbye.

"I watched you walk away,

Beside the lucky guy

Oh, you'll never ever know

The one who loved you so.

Well, you don't know me

Well that's my mix tape and Bill if you are reading this, we shared a moment that will last forever.

Now for fun, who can name the songs and artist that were used in the mix?
