Week 1- Friday October 10th

This is the historical post that I put on Facebook before starting this blog. Post was done on Friday, October 10, 2008 at 8:39pm

Some of you may remember that last Thursday I began an epic challenge that will be exhausting and may take years off my life... yes Thursday October 2nd I decided to attempt to listen to every song all the way through in my iTunes library in alphabetical order by artist. No skipping unless I agreed to delete the song forever.

As of Thursday October 2nd at 2:35pm I needed to listen to 6972 songs which constitutes 19.6 days of listening enjoyment. My plan was to listen to approximately 2.5 hours a day and then I would finish in about 6 months.

It all started with "Take on Me" by A-Ha

It's been a tough road so far but I am happy to say I finished the A's today. There were some tough times when I thought I would quit... Alanis Morisette, Alicia Keys, Arrested Development.

Later this afternoon I started the B's and got stuck on Baby Genius Lullabies. Yes we have baby music in iTunes. Sad really.

More updates to come next week.
