Umbrella and a Bad Run

Here’s a terrible running story.
Erika and I went for a run the other night. We were only going to be together for 2 miles of it though. I was going to run for 13 or 14, so I had my ipod in my belt ready to play as soon as we split up.
As soon as we went our separate ways, I put on my head phones and pushed play. The song Umbrella by Rihanna came on. It’s the only song I’ve ever bought from iTunes and it was over played with my buddies in Seattle, so it was kind of fun to start off listening to. After it was over, the next song was…Umbrella by Rihanna – I hit fast forward, the next song was Umbrella by Rihanna. Yep, all that I had on my ipod was one song – one song and 11 miles to go. I tried to figure out all the words, but I don’t think I can still understand them. I also figured out that my external hard drive must not be hooked up since that was the only song I’ve purchased, that would be the only song on my C drive, everything else was on the external drive.
I heard Umbrella 24 times on that run – It’s my most played song in iTunes.

Fifteen Posts in 15 Days

Alright – it’s been a long time since I’ve updated this thing, so to get me back to thinking about things like this that are important, I’m going to start with 15 posts in 15 days. I’m not sure what they will be about, but by 8/12/2008 – there will be a post a day.
