How About A Mid-Week Pick Up?! Wilson Pickett - Land Of 1000 Dances

                            

Not only is Wilson Pickett's "Land of 1,000 Dances" my favorite song on Just Dance, it's also on of my go to songs to put a lil kick in my step!

I went for a run early this morning, felt that the day was off to a pretty good start and then made the mistake of falling back asleep watching the news...  Now... I'm draggin!  So at work this morning, sucking back my coffee in hopes of a instant boom of energy, i thought of this song!

Once i played Wilson Pickett on Pandora i noticed myself picking up a bit!  It's only 10am!! I need all the energy i can get, i'm going to a Giants game tonight!! Woot Woot!  Leave it to Wilson Pickett to brighten up my day!

If anyone else needs a Wednesday boost of energy, well i hope Wilson can help!

The Otis Itch!!!! Otis Redding - These Arms Of Mine

                          

I seem to have the "Otis Itch" and I can't scratch it!!!

I tend to find myself going through musical type fads lately... well i guess everyone gets those but ya know what i mean, like that blouse or that pair of shoes you wear constantly!  You can't get enough of it, it goes with everything, its comfortable and cool... well that has been happening with my man Otis Redding a lot lately!  His Pandora station has been invading my ears 24/7.

I get to work this morning with all good intensions of breaking this little obsession i've been on, turn on my Pandora and hit shuffle.... guess what today's first song was... yup! you guessed it, Otis!  "These Arms Of Mine" came on and 'SNAP' just like that i was pulled back ever so quickly into my Otis Redding fad!!!

Now i'm not complaining... it could be worse, a lot worse.  I could have some obnoxious band playing over and over again in  my head that would eventually drive me crazy!  So I thought, "Hell, if i can't break my Otis fad i might as well get everybody else on that train as well!!" 

Happy Friday - enjoy your musical fad of the day, week or month, whatever it might be!

Falling From Cloud Nine...Katy Perry - Wide Awake

                   

Hellllooooooo!  I'm back!  London was amazing and even though i'm terribly sad it's over, it's time to get back to reality....  For some reason today i got this Katy Perry song stuck in my head.  I must have listened to it a hundred times and guess what, it's still there on replay!

"Wide Awake" by Katy Perry is the song in my head today and In a way the song kinda realates to coming home from my trip... "Falling from cloud nine, crashing from the high, letting go tonight, falling from cloud nine.  I'm wide awake."  Yup wide awake and back to reality from my amazing journey.  Met so many cool new people, new friends and great experiences that i will have forever! 

Can I hit rewind and do it all over again?  And guess what?  I wouldn't change a single second of it!!!  Best trip of my life to date.  Gonna be hard to beat this one.
