Still busy. Still planning. In the process of moving to my sublet this weekend. But two posts in one week? One work week in fact? I’m happy with that.
Sooooooooooooo what’s keeping me sane? Musica. I don’t really know if any of these ones are considered “current” but they are goodies in my eyes and if I can scream at the top of my lungs and bust a move then it’s all good.
And since I’m taking casual Friday to the extreme and listening to my iPhone as well as going out dancing tonight (holllllllllllllllerrrrrrr) I want to use this post as a vehicle to start getting pumped (trust me: I spent the past…well I’m not going to admit to how long I actually spent searching/researching songs. I had to limit myself to lucky #4 for the blog though). And by pumped I mean creating a pre-gaming mix. Suggestions are welcome!
Also note: these songs go on running mixes too. Thankfully I don’t run with music often because I’m 97.3453% sure that I’d end up with more cracked ribs that way!
- Fist pumping song. Never. Gets. Old. “Yeah X3” by Chris Brown
- This one is just awesome to belt to. I’m toying with the idea of karaoke-ing it. Angry. “You Lie” by The Band Perry
- “You Be Killing ‘Em” by Fabulous. Mostly because it have the best line ever! (They say she a dime. I say she underrated)
- “Evacuate the Dance Floor” by Cascada. Ummmmmmmmmm dancing. Need I say more?
- One that I just rediscovered is by Shakira. Hot.
Okay so that was 5. Moving onto running related notes before I add 5 more…
I’m still running obviously. Like the month of May I’ve been running a lot of miles and trading off for speed. Lately (aka this week) my energy levels increased a bit — mostly from sleeping a combined 34 hours over last Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and partly from doing more afternoon running — and my pace has sped up a bit as a result.

I. Wish.
I’m just rolling with the running thing. My muscles are starting to feel slightly sore and so are my feet so I’m going to take it as a sign to start listening to my body and ease up if it seems to be an ongoing/recurring/continuing thing.
But that whole going out and dancing thing tonight? If it’s going to cause muscle/feet soreness, well then, I think it’s a price I’ll have to pay. Have a great weekend y’all!
Music totally keeps me sane! I love that Chris Brown song… I never saw the video before either. Loving it!
Good luck on the move!

Have a great time tonight. You’re only young once, go dance your ass off. Fun on the increased speed and a huge Yay on the increased sleep. Great going, missy!

I think I made it through Luxembourg because of “Oh Yeah…” and I just downloaded you lie.
🙂 Thanks!
And I am having a karaoke party on the 8th, if you’d like to come to Germany

OMG. Thank God. For a moment I thought you were going to play that nasty “Friday” song.

Glad you added that 5th song… I was about to have a little panic attack. 😉
