Yawn. Monday. Blech.
But two things that make it easier to come in this morning:
Watching the football team workout on their morning run. Yes, I know they're barely legal and all, but yum.
The construction contractors working on my new office. I'm not exactly in a hurry for them to finish by fall.
Rising early on a Saturday with good intentions, I walked and fed the dog, made breakfast, and sat down at the laptop to pay bills. While killing my freshly good mood while seeing my bank account dwindle, I couldn't really find anything on iTunes that I wanted to listen to. I'm fresh out of new music, and the old standbyes weren't working, so proceeded to make a new mix.
I was looking for something fun, danceable, singable, etc. It's been a while since I made a mix cd, and this one isn't stellar by any means, but I was inpired when Rob Base got shuffled into the playlist from my library. While g-talking with Dave, we volleyed lyrics from Snoop Dag to Run DMC, and it was practically kismet.
So voila - my "Old Skool" mix:
- It Takes Two - Rob Base
- Insane in the Braine - Cypress Hill
- Come Baby Come - K7
- Gin & Juice - Dre and Snoop Dog
- Push It - Salt n Pepa
- Baby Got Back - Sir Mix Alot
- It's Tricky - Run DMC
- The Choice is Yours - Black Sheep
- OPP - Naughty by Nature
- Hypnotized - Notorious B.I.G.
- The Humpty Dance - Digital Underground
- Jump Around - House of Pain
- Nuthin but a G thang - Dr. Dre
- Keep Their Heads Ringing - Dr. Dre and Ice Cube
- This Is How We Do It - Montell Jordan
- Jump - Kriss Kross
- Rappers Delight - Sugar Hill Gang
- Bust A Move - Young MC
So today's productivity? Questionable. Music? Excellent.
