Really listening to music

So on the second half of my year on Utrik, I decided to start an exercise regiment.  And by exercise regiment, I mean running at the air port.  I would dawn on my sneakers, socks, running shorts, and a rather large, unattractive guam dress, grab my water bottle and ipod, and start running.  I have found that it is best to run in the evening, because its not so hot.  (just to be clear, it is ALWAYS hot, but not as hot when the sun starts to go down, and plus, the sky looks amazing!!)

See, I told ya so!!

So while I am running, I would listen to music that would have a great beat.  Examples include Backstreet Boys, Insync, Ashley Tisdale, etc...  So usually when a song has a good running beat, the lyrics are a piece of shit.  This will be important later on in this post.
So after many laps of running, sweating, walking, running, sweating, drinking water, running, walking sweating even more, I head home to take a shower, cause lets face it, I smell.  Okay, so that it is the end of that story.  (Although I did stop running for about a month, because the island had no food, and I realized that the amount of calories I was consuming was way under than what I was losing.  It was dangerous, so I quit running for a little bit.  But then the food ship came, as well as edible calories, so the exercise started back up again.


So to go back to the music, every Saturday, I would do laundry.  For several hours, I would sit there and scrub and scrub.  And I would watch the muscles in my right arm get significantly stronger than the ones in my left arm.  Lets just say that flexing looked awkward.  

So as the year went on, I decided that listening to music would be a good idea while I was scrubbing my never ending pile of unclean clothes.  So thinking that this would be a good idea, I decided to listen to the music that helped me so much when I was exercising.  Have you ever really listened to the lyrics of pop songs from the 90s?  Well, I know I haven't, until that day.  Holy cow - I was filling my ears with lyrical trash every since I was in the 4th grade and I had no idea whatsoever!!  Man, that ruined my whole childhood right there!  So disgusted with my taste of music as an elementary school student who had no choice of radio stations while on the bus.  And this moment also ruined country music me as well.  So let's just say that when I got home, I had a huge music make over.

Haha, my laundry all done!!!  So beautiful!
