Concerns


Comic-Con is fast approaching; we are going on Wednesday morning so it's almost down to the wire. Besides being overwhelmed by the amount of choices to be made once we arrive, I am also wrestling with the fact that I hate to fly. My passion for road trips has more to do with staying on terra firma than exploring strange and unusual places.
 
I am handling my anxiety in the age-old way of mature adults: I'm refusing to discuss my concerns with anyone and thinking of what might help me relax onboard.

Clearly, the only solution is uplifting and life-affirming music so… a mix for my ipod:
United.com1.  Howie Day, Collide
2.  Once soundtrack, Falling Slowly    
3.  Chris Issak, Only the Lonely
4.  Snow Patrol, Chasing Cars
5.  Marc Cohn, Walking in Memphis
6.  Sia, Breath Me
7.  Rufus Wainwright, Cowboy Song
8.  Eric Clapton, Running on Faith (unplugged)
9.  Gavin deGraw, More Than Anyone
10. Coldplay, Vida La Vida  
11. Leonard Cohen with U2,  Tower Of Song
12. Dropkick Murphys, Forever 
13; Annie Lennox, Bridge Over Troubled Water
14. Jeff Buckley, Hallelujah
15. David Cook, Music of the Night 
16. Gavin Rossdale; Mind Games 
17. Rufus Wainwright; Everybody Knows.
 
Looking back on my list, I realize I don't have any uplifting and life affirming music on my I-Pod at all. Perhaps after listening to this lot a little shuddering from the engines will cheer me up.
