10 things you would describe as mindblowing
 

This applies to entertainment, only... music/movies/video games/books/pieces of art that you would describe as having blown your mind. Limited to 10. The definition of "mindblowing" is pretty loose, this doesn't have to be your favorites in every field or something, these are just things that have helped reshape and change your mind and change how you rethink things. "Life-changing" would also be a good substitute for the word "mindblowing", but I dunno. Here is mine, in no order...:

It was just something I thought you'd like.. Was there any money inside, or did the mailman steal it?

Haha, yeah, there was. Thanks!!!

haha.

Girlfriend is not a piece of entertainment, though, but I'll let it slide. My girlfriend blew my mind constantly -- usually not for good reasons though.
