Just finished my workout…..time for the shower. Exercise is good for me mentally and physically, and I’ve managed to do it all my life. However, I have fallen off the wagon and gotten lazy from time to time. It’s always difficult to re-establish that routine once I drop it, but my will to succeed is stronger than my lazy streak. I hate going to the gym, so all my exercise is done here at home using free weights and sometimes a Bowflex. Not often on the Bowflex, though. I workout to Nickelback on the iPod. I have 3 of their CDs on it, and I just skip past the softer songs and go with the hard hitters. Keeps me focused that way.

I also plug the iPod into the aux jack in my Mustang when I’m on the road in Houston or surrounding area. Nickelback tends to make my foot heavy, though, and I’m really hoping I don’t get a ticket. It’s just impossible to listen to them without driving faster and faster. I also have Paramore, Santana, David Cook, Alanis Morissette, Muse, Coldplay, Duffy, Evanesence, Finger Eleven, Fuel, Good Charlotte, Seether, Twilight Soundtrack, and a few other scattered artists. Pretty good mix, huh. I seem to be an oddity around here. It seems most people listen to country music. Not that I have anything against it, but if I wanted to be depressed I could manage that all by myself. I do like a few of the songs out now, and if I’m somewhere and country’s playing I’ll listen, but that’s not my preference.

I did find a song I’d been looking for without luck. Way back in the dark ages, Kenny Rogers sang rock, as in psychedelic rock. I found Kenny Rogers and The First Edition’s “Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)” and downloaded it. Probably the best song he ever put out. Weird, huh?

Gotta run. Calling on a client today. …(accounting).
