Music and me.

I've found recently that music plays a huge part in my life, even without me realizing it. I heard a song on the radio, (Blink 182 - Feeling This) and it actually took me back to a portion of my life. To be precise, it was when I was playing another game but getting bored with it and beginning to experiment with private servers and hacks and such.

It amazed me how precise of a memory it gave me, and since then I've gone through all of my music and each song reminds me of a time. My life is virtually categorized by music and songs.

Kanye West: When I was between level 20-40 on my priest, for a short period of time playing a hunter to 20.

U2/Train: When I was level 60, and joined my first raiding guild. The first time I listened to my new CD was when I was going to run UBRS.

Yellowcard: 40ish-50ish, my girl at the time got me into it and I couldn't stop listening to their songs.

Jet: After I was 60, while I was in Peace Keepers. I had rolled a night elf warrior, and this was the music I would listen to while I was leveling.

Jack Johnson: While I was raiding at 60 with Identity Crisis

Grinspoon: Also while I was playing this other game, they had released a new part of the game and my girlfriend wasn't talking to me, for various reasons.

System of a Down: I listened to this alot throughout WoW, it's hard to define a particular time.

NoFX: Wasn't to do with gaming, it was a time where I got obsessed with a few sports, golf in particular.

That's just about all I can think of, but I thought it worth mentioning that I've discovered a huge portion of my life that's been lying there for so long unnoticed. I mean, I've always loved music and that's a part of me, but I didn't realize it played such a huge role in my life and mood.

Currently, I'm listening to Hilltop Hoods, as most people on vent would know.

Every once in a while, I'll hear a song that takes me back. Whether it's a elementary school memory or more recent WoWage (Mindless Self Indulgence reminds me of PvPing w/ Onyx), there are tons of songs that trigger these flashbacks.

Justin Timberlake ftl, though. ;)
