Runs Are a Good Time to Ponder Life; alt title, Running While Rapping Along to Perfect Gentleman Takes Innovation to a New Level
Ten years. Hard to believe it’s finally here. We’re pretty sure Reader Isa and elaney spent many afternoons on the floor of their rooms decorating things with paint pens and speculating about what life would look like at our ten year reunion. And here we are! In all of our beautiful and imperfect glory. So the other day, per the aforementioned brilliant idea that took place while running and rapping (there really should be more of that in the world), we immediately offered (re: demanded) to put a playlist for the big event together. Here’s what we’ve got so far…please help us other high schoolers of the late 90s-01! Help us make the (30ish) Brookstone Cougars that will be at our reunion proud (Sidebar: and if you don’t, we promise not to shake our clipboard at you. We’ve really matured. We swear.).
Ps: the Spanish version of “Come on Over” by xtina was extremely intentional. Just because we weren’t allowed to use the Spanish version for the cheerleading pep rally dance doesn’t mean it’s not the best. Escucha me.

I know you’ve already got a Shakira song on there, but “Hips Don’t Lie” was kind of a staple… Also, where is the Nelly?!?! Outkast, Dido, Enrique, and R. Kelly also come to mind…”Get Your Freak On” by Missy Elliot…
Love thinking about you and your clipboard, btw…

Imma be needin you to make this a public playlist on Spotify so I can use it at our 10-year in a few weeks.
We’re also going to need some GooGoo Dolls and Lifehouse added to this list.
