0:12.0	I remember the first girl I was really like in love with when I was a teenager and I remember working up the courage
0:19.7	to go over to her house and tell her how I felt. I remember being
0:24.3	incredibly difficult. I really psyched myself up and I just got in my driver's license. Maybe my permit.
0:32.3	And that song by the cranberry's dreams had recently come out and I was obsessed with it. I was listening to it constantly.
0:38.8	So it was one and the days we had tape players so you'd have to rewind it. And I pulled into a drive when my parents

1:52.3	Oh, dude, dude, dude, dude, Shippew.
1:55.3	You're listening to Life is Short.
