Sometimes, there's just no way for me to get around running on the treadmill at the gym. I'd much rather be outside running in nature. To make the time pass and make the workout a little more enjoyable I wear my fancy little ipod. I rock out to my music and thought I would share some of my favorite lyrics with you...

*Song: Doo Wop (That Thing) by Lauryn Hill
Album: The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill--this is one of the best albums ever made, hands down
Line that I love: "Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem, baby girl, respect is just a minimum"

Hey, that's good advice!

*Song: New Sensation by INXS
Album: The Best of INXS--I never owned this album growing up, so I did go out and purchase the greatest hits. Now you know that I have a secret crush on Michael Hutchence.
Lines that I love: Live baby live/Now that the day is over...Sleep baby sleep/Now that the night is over/And the sun comes like a god/Into our room/All perfect light and promises

Okay, that's several lines. I just love this whole song. It's great to run to and I love the lyrics. The sleep baby sleep line articulates how I feel about insomnia. Just when you start to go to sleep the night is already over! There's another line in there that makes me want to hug the ghost of Michael Hutchence..."don't let your pain take over you". Why don't you all just go download this song right now and listen to it over and over again.

*Song: Get on Your Boots by U2
Album: No Line on the Horizon
Line: "Laughter is eternity if joy is real"

I'm dyin' to hear this live in concert!!!!

Your songs sound way cooler than "Rock your Body" that I listen to :). Running was divine last night my dear.
