Groove, Jams, ADD, COOKIES!!!

    Well, my finger is healing up nicely, thanks for asking. However, I have recently encountered another problem. Working out while recovering from a cold/mangled digit. In fact, I was much looking forward to getting back to my routine at L'Ru Studios. I was going to buy classes with my newfound birthday money until last Friday happened. Instead I am stuck with a very limited amount of movement make it difficult to even visit the gym upstairs. Oh, but fear not my friends, I didn't sign up to be in the creative industry for nothing...

   When a practical solution doesn't exist, invent one. I have been battling ADD most of my life - oh....look at the sky!! - making things like housework nearly unbearable without some type of distraction, namely music. While MB studied for the bar, this habit translated over to cooking as well; replacing the "family-friendly" cooking conversation into a full fledged dance party complete with headphones.

   Today I spent the day baking various things and cleaning the house - wifey I know. While I'd love to go on about the awesomeness of my oatmeal cookies (recipe found here) I think I'll share some tracks that are essential for what I like to call cook-aerobics-fantasmic-dance-off. NOTE: if you have hard wood floors socks are highly encouraged...the more slide in your step the better.

    I fully endorse any shameless music choices found beyond the break. I spit on musical elitists because I can, I used to be one. Everyone is entitled to their own playlist and anyone who pretends to be above anyone else always has skeletons hidden in their iTunes...don't kid yourselves.

Thank me later....more after the break.





1. Ride or Die Bitch - Styles P & Jadakiss
    Cuz nothin' says ride or die quite like fresh baked cookies...


2. Housewife - Dr. Dre
     Self-explanitory...


3. Pitbull - any song will do.
     I have a (no longer) secret obsession with Pitbull. Well, my Malaysian friends may know about it. Needless to say, that man can make the dullest of wallflowers shake his/her hips...
     Substitues include: Don Omar
     And yes...this is a shout out to all my international homies =p



4. Calvin Harris - any song will do.
    Move! Substitutes include: Avici and Tiesto...Oh how I love them both...

I could keep going. Don't forget about the oldies, the goodies, and anything that gets you MOVIN! I'm stopping because I've noticed I haven't done enough dancing...and too much blogging. Remember to get up and groove people!
