This my blogger friends is my 500th post! Crazy! How have I possibly come up with 500 things to post?
The law of writing and statistics says that for every 100 pieces of of writing, a writer has done, only one, will be any good. (Any one want to fix the grammar in that sentence?)
Meaning, that as of today I have written 5 good posts. For some reason this makes me smile. Also, eliminates the pressure of coming up with an awesome post to celebrate my 500th post.
Today, we are going to talk about one of my favorite subjects, MUSIC!
S. is back in the water but not back on a swim team. So we have been going to the gym at 5 in the morning in order for her to swim and for me to exercise.
I love EXERCISE. Just wish I LOVED eating right. I also wish I LOVED getting up at 4:40 in the morning. AGGGG!
To get my rear in gear I plug in my Ipod and start moving. Every morning I start with the same song.
"Hope" Mister Mydas/Shaggy. I LOVE this song!
Here is the chorus:
She said, “Son there’ll be times when the tides are high
And the boat may be rocky, you can cry
Just never give up
You can never give up,” uh-uh
In this life you could lead if you only believe
And in order to achieve what you need
You can never give up
You can never give up
And this hope
That keep me holding on
On and on
And this hope
That makes me carry on
On and on
Next on my playlist is "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield
I have even been known to hit replay on this one a couple of times...
I love the whole song but my favorite part is this
I break tradition
Sometimes my tries
Are outside the lines, oh yeah yeah
We've been conditioned
To not make mistakes
But I can't live that way oh, oh
Next up is "Afraid" by Nelly Furtado featuring Timbaland
I have been known to sing the chorus of this one out loud in a crowded gym. I try to hold back but...
I rarely succeed...
"We all have the choice to take the lead or follow
I want to feel the light shine on me
You're so afraid of what people might say
But that's okay cause you're only human
You're so afraid of what people might say
But that's okay you'll soon get strong enough"
Now that I am in full on boogy mode I bump up my speed as I launch into "One Girl Revolution" by Super Chick. It is all about the girl power.
And I'll be everything that I wanna be
I am confidence in insecurity
I am a voice yet waiting to be heard
I'll shoot the shot, bang, that you hear round the world
I have a few more faves that I play through. Mixing in some new songs here and there. In the end I walk out of the gym endorphins pumping, my feet tapping, and a song that reminds me I CAN DO IT caught in my head.
So there it is my 500th post. Might not be the greatest post I have written but I'm smiling, my foot is tapping, and I have "The Climb"by Miley Cyrus stuck in my head.
can almost see it.
That dream I'm dreaming, but
There's a voice inside my head saying
You'll never reach it
Every step I'm takin'
Every move I make
Feels lost with no direction,
My faith is shakin'
But I gotta keep tryin'
Gotta keep my head held high
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
It's the climb
The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down, but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it, but
These are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most
I've just gotta keep goin', and
I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on, but
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
It's the climb
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
It's the climb
Keep on movin'
Keep climbin'
Keep faith baby
It's all about, it's all about
The climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, woah

Music! What, no Lady Gaga? Guess you can post about her come March...
So I used to play One Girl Revolution at the radio station over and over and over again. You're supposed to follow the playlist, but I was on at 4am, on the college radio station, so I knew nobody was listening and I played what I wanted. neiner neiner, in your face, college. I also love Unwritten, but Miley Cirus makes my breakfast want to reappear.
