Current running playlist, and iTunes Ping link, for those who are interested in such things:
(*I* am most definitely interested in such things, so you should tell me about whatever music is rocking your earbuds lately.)
3 handy tips for running, from me to you:
• Don’t drink one of those 5 Hour Energy drinks before a run.
• No, seriously, don’t.
• You know how the logo has that athletic-looking figure on it, all supercharged with energy and stuff? He’s sprinting for a bathroom.
Speaking of crappy (har!) advice, one or two of you may remember a website I used to run called Sundry Buzz. I retired the site a long time ago, but it seems someone has grabbed the URL and is using my old tagline while publishing a bunch of weird Engrish-sounding spam. Sorry if a long-dead RSS feed suddenly lit up with a bunch of strange articles about log cabins and “health club services to get you stress-free today!”
Lastly, we carved pumpkins tonight, and I love how the boys’ designs turned out :
I also carved one, and here’s your chance to click away, because mine is a maybe-spoiler for the season 4 finale of Breaking Bad. Haven’t seen it? Look no further! La la la la la la are you gone yet?

The pumpkin on the far right looks like it is suspicious since the lid is not on all the way. Funny post–especially the part about the energy drink!
Well…I suppose you run faster that way!
Awesome pumpkins. My run list needs a little reviving. I’ll let you know after all the candy next week :)
Wow, your play lists are way cooler than mine. I tag songs using the Shazam app on my droid while I am driving. Any song that makes me want to drive fast goes on my running play list. One of my recent favorites is Waving Flag. If you play/like soccer, this is a good one.

I love when people post their playlists because I need new stuff all the time. Currently, I am rocking A LOT of 80s hair bands: Cinderella, Winger, Warrant, etc.
OH…but what IS AWESOME is the watermelon CHOMPS by Gu. I took those on my run this weekend and they were so tasty! First fuel I’ve found for during a run that hasn’t made me want to vomit.
Your energy drink comment just made me laugh my ass off. Thank you!
Um, I just watched the last episode of Breaking Bad yesterday, and your pumpkin is hilarious. That was the first television experience of my life where I sat up and screamed excitedly. Such a great show.
That is a BRILLIANT use of the willies I got after the season finale of Breaking Bad. Oh Gus, we hardly knew ya!
So sad Gus is gone for this world. I’ve had some major BB withdrawal lately so have been rewatching the first season. That said your pumpkin is freaking amazing.
Love Gus Pumpkin! Missing BB too….
You always make me laugh SO hard! I love your sense of humor :)
P.S. totally rad pumpkin designs, jus sayin!
Had to look away from your pumpkin – at least for about four more days until I finish my BB marathon. All other pumpkins looked awesome. I have no running music recommendations as that would require me to actually be running outside instead of indoors on treadmill city (circling back to the BB marathon I’ve been going through).
Ah, a bunch of my favorites on your playlist there, I’ll have to check out the others.
The 5-hour energy drink warning makes me laugh. But I’m quite sure it wasn’t funny at the time.
the song that I shit-kick the shit out of, is:
Ground Shake by Dirty Radio listen to it a couple of times and you’ll be hooked.

Foster the People…Pumped Up Kicks.
I know, I know. How pop-ish of me, right?
I did a 5 hour energy once. It had no effect on me at all. I was sooo disappointed.
Weezer: If You’re Wondering
one song for you:
red solo cup by toby keith
it will burn a hole in your brain and will still be there! just goes to show a song can indeed be written about anything! silly little ditty I have been singing since I heard it! you’re welcome.
oh, and as for 5 hour energy shots? ya, 14 hour drive from idaho to calif, took one, felt nothing after an hour so, what the heck, maybe if I drink another one it will last 10 hours. um, guess what? doesn’t work that way! can we say crawling out of my skin, driving across the God forsaken nevada desert alone with the dog, drooling on myself. not my best idea. had to stop in south lake tahoe for the night, and yes, I did sleep, albiet with bizzare dreams! learnng curve? um, never again!
You need love is a battlefield… Get the cover by ceelo green and the vicki chick that won the voice. I always kick assduring that song.
What I need is a way to watch television when I run. Could someone get on that please? I get so bored and no matter the playlist I find all kinds of ways to talk myself into walking for just a minute.
@annie Javier won The Voice..not Vicki. But i agree, that song/cover is awesome.
LOL. I stopped watching Breaking Bad with the huz long ago because of the gore factor (I think around that dissolved-dead-body-eats-through-ceiling scene). But, I happened to be blogging away in the living room when he watched that finale, and HOLY HELL. Nice job on the pumpkin, a perfect rendition.
