Top 6 Reasons For This Posting

6. Obligation - If you're going to have a blog, you feel compelled to write it in to give it legitimacy.

5. Depression - Life has been hard. When people have hard times, they blog. Granted, I am not about to speak about my feelings, because I'm self-aware enough to know the internet doesn't care. So really, this is no good for my feelings. That's fine though - they're no good for me.

4. Facebook is Creepy - I had a sudden realization how creepy Facebook is. I gave them WAY too much information. More scary than that, is the connection that it gives me with so many people. I have changed recently in the sense that I no longer want to be linked up with people. Instead, I want to distance myself from them. Especially on the internet. I prefer secrecy. Thus, spending more time on StopSix means less time on Facebook. This is a good thing.

3. Freedom - I spend so much time learning, it's nice to be able to just write stuff down without fear of its accuracy.

2. Censorship - A recent StopSix posting by some other writers pushed the boundaries of cheesiness beyond what this site deems appropriate. Thus, there is a need to post as many entries in order to push said other entries into the archive.

1. Default - I've made it this far, I might as well finish off the list.

Top 6 Songs I want to Learn (Mostly for the Ladies)

6) Orange Sky (Alexi Murdoch)- I know this song sort of, the chords are C&G but theres some crazy guitar tapping as well. I think I mostly want to learn this song purely for the fact that his voice is so inspiring, and the lyrics could melt the coldest heart.

5) Tears in Heaven (Eric Clapton)- Not much to say about this one. I will guarntee you this, if you start playing that song in any public space by the 1st verse there will be at least 5 girls crowding around and staring intently into your eyes.

4) Dont Wait (Dashboard Confessional)- I know its cheesy but nothing says, "Girl, I know you've been hurt in the past, but I'm not the past, I'm the future," better than a dashboard ballad.

3) Black Ballon (Goo Goo Dolls)- All you need to slay some ladies with a guitar is a gut wrenching song with rich accoustic tones.

2) Fix You (Coldplay)- The lyrics are fantastic and Im pretty sure the song has been used in emotional, really get to you kind of movies. Your riding high if you can belt out the bridge. Its pretty much saying let me be the one to get you through, as long as you dont have baggage.

1) Secret Garden (Bruce Springsteen)- This is one of my favourite songs. If you haven't heard it you need to its a treat. Piano and organ thrown in with a saxaphone solo means you cant do much better. Especially useful if a lady is distant but you know if she warmed up to you it would be lights out.
