Today was a better day for me mentally, for the most part. While the stress of unemployment still lingers, at least today felt like a good day at job one. First, it was pay day so that was obviously cool and then I got some positive feedback on a project that I was working on. Unfortunately, I still need to wait for the boss man to see it, which means I'll probably have to start all over again from scratch. Such is the life of an editor. Which is why I don't want to be strictly an editor.
On another positive note, the traffic wasn't horrendous today so it only took me about 20 minutes to make it to the gym. So that was great. Today was another off day, so it was just a brisk 30 minute walk on the treadmill. Nothing super exciting. My right leg felt tense for about 20 minutes of the walk though, but then loosened up I guess. Such is the mystery that is my body. I have an easier time explaining how they get the cream into a Twinkie then I do anything physiological (is that the right word?). Perhaps research is in order.
Every day when I go to the gym, I have to walk past the spinning class. Does anyone know why they never turn the lights on in there? Always seemed weird to me. I keep thinking that would be kinda fun to try one night, but then I'd have to listen to their music and I don't think I could take 30 plus minutes of Des'ree's "Love Will Save The Day." I didn't even like that song when it was okay to like it and I'm certainly not going to start now. However, it did get me thinking about music that motivates me. I know I mentioned AC/DC in the Day One post, but I'm going to need a whole lot more than that to get me through 26.2 miles. If nothing else so I don't get bored. So far I'm including Journey's "Don't Stop Believing", AC/DC's "Highway to Hell" and "You're The Best" by Joe Esposito from the Karate Kid Soundtrack, as suggested by my brother. I actually looked up the lyrics for that song because the chorus as I hear it goes "You're Best Around mumble mumble keep you down." In the middle of the lyrics, the person who transcribed them actually wrote and I quote "Inspiring Guitar Solo." I don't think I could have put it better myself. I'd love to watch Karate Kid on mute with the close captioning just so I could see "Inspiring Guitar Solo" scroll across the screen. Awwwwesome. Now that I'm all inspired by that guitar solo, maybe I'll go to the beach and work on my crane kick this weekend. If I could just find an old wise Asian man to show me how to do it properly and teach me life lessons at the same time.
Hit me up with some comments about songs that inspire you to do great things or just inspire you to do anything like crane kick a guy in the face when he tries to sweep your leg.

"Gold Dust Woman"- I know, cheesy. I find that the tempo of the music matches the tempo of my run. Fast=Fast. Maybe not a good thing if you want to run 26.2 miles, but I love, love, love me some good fist pumpin' when my ass feels full of pudding.
