Jukebox XVII

GAME ON!!! I am an really competitive person. I can remember playing Tetris with Hanssie when we were dating and she would always be SO cocky and arrogant when she won...I would have to destroy her for a few days, just to keep her in check (we ultimately stopped playing video games together, for obvious reasons). Anyway, a few friends of mine have begun a competition to see who can develop the best habits.

A very brief overview of the game is this, we get points for consuming under our 'goal' for calories, for sleeping 7 hours a day (my biggest area of weakness), for drinking 3 liters of water a day, for developing a good habit, for stopping a bad habit and for communicating with the people in the game. There is also an overall goal that if you are tracking every week, you get a bonus. This is my motivation for working out the past few weeks. And I have found it very hard to get this 20 minute workout in every day. So, I have resorted to taking runs with Bentley after dark.

Anyway, here is my game on work out list. I will warn you this is not a random shuffle. I put 6 CDs on my iPod and am random shuffling through those 6 CDs. The CDs are:

The Band Perry by The Band Perry
Hemingway's Whiskey by Kenny Chesney
Charleston, SC 1966 by Darius Rucker
Speak Now by Taylor Swift
The Incredible Machine by Sugarland
My Kinda Party by Jason Aldean

1. Postcard From Paris The Band Perry

The is my favorite cut from this CD (I don't know why I even said that, my favorite is definitely bound to change). I can't put my finger on why I like this band. Maybe their music just resonates with me. Whatever it is, this CD is in my car and it is on all the time. Well, besides the Jason Aldean CD...

2. Hip to My Heart The Band Perry

The first release off the CD, it is ok!

3. Every Girl Like Me Sugarland

I really like Sugarland, but I am not feeling this CD yet. I listened to Love on the Inside and I was sold on 10 of the records. This CD has been slow to catch my attention. Having said that, I like this song. 


4. I Got Nothin' Darius Rucker

I was cleaning the car one day and decided to give this CD a real good listening to. I need that one song to hook me, and Darius had that song Let Her Cry from his Hootie days (a special live version is on this CD). Anyway, that got me and I have been hooked on Charleston ever since. His first CD was really good and this one is a good follow up. Although, I don't think there are as many hits in this group (listen to me drawing conclusions like I am a music critic...and I am not through apparently).


5. Better Than Revenge Taylor Swift

Playing Tim McGraw to Tim McGraw a few years ago was priceless. I loved how raw and innocent she was. I liked Taylor Swift, I loved Fearless, I am torn on Speak Now. What I am certain about? I don't like this song. As a cute 16 year old, the bitterness and vindictiveness is a little more tolerable (I mean, not for my daughter, but for her), but as a 20 year old trying to be an adult...try being better at singing!


6. Seven Days Kenny Chesney

I like Boys of Fall, but this is the song that hooked me on the CD...the jury is still out on the rest of the disc!


7. Just Passing Through Jason Aldean

The more I hear Jason, the more I like him. I really wanted to see him last year at a festival in Lake Elsinore, but somehow missed the show. I don't think he comes out this far west often...
