Visual Assignment- Stories written in Windows Media Player (or iTunes)

Hey everybody kicking off the week with my first visual assignment: stories written in windows media player. I thought this assignment sounded fun because it reminded me of this game one of my friends showed me by answering a list of questions using the song titles you get on shuffle. Anyways pretty simple task here, don’t know why its worth 3 stars, just create a new playlist on any sort of music player you have then add songs whose titles will make a (slightly) coherent story, sentence, poem etc:This assignment actually made me realize how many songs I had with “world” in the title which I knew I had to do something with. The concept of my story poem thing is how we get so acquainted to our lives we forget that there’s a much larger world out there. Our initial thoughts once we visit this world is typically how scary and different it is from the safe lives that we left behind for whatever reason. This in turn makes us nostalgic for the past which brings us much joy, but it is bittersweet as that is long gone. However by embracing those memories from long ago we can connect our old feelings to this new world. Once the illusion of a frightfully unnamed world shatters, we can see and hear what this world entails without hesitation.
