When I’m training hard toward some serious physical accomplishment like a marathon, Settlin’ by Sugarland is my theme of choice. The chorus is perfect for any type of sports goal.

The rest of the time Crazy as Me by Alison Krauss and her Pips, aka Union Station describes me quite well.

Someone once told me that my personal theme song is “Online.”

I’ve always thought “80′s Ladies” would make a great personal theme song – the only problem being I’m a man who spent his time in the eighties mainly toddling. Still it’s a wonderful song.

Right now I’m all about “Still is Still Moving to Me” by Willie Nelson, although bringing up Rodney Crowell to start the thread made me think of “Earthbound,” which could become a personal theme song anytime it damn well pleases.

HOORAY FOR YOU! Congrats on finishing up your Masters! I certainly danced circles when I completed mine in ’98. It almost killed me, but it was worth all the struggle.

My personal theme song? Hmmm…right now, it’s “Heads Carolina, Tails California” by Jo Dee Messina.

Dang, no wonder this blog makes me nervous! It seems you have to be a Mensa type with an advanced degree to just be an average blogger here…..(lol)

My personal theme song: Jerry Jeff Walker’s “Redneck Mother”

I prefer to keep the details behind this choice personal and confidential….(lol)

More Sugarland’s for me…. “Just Might (Make Me Believe)” from their first cd, if for no other reason than the line “I need a deep margarita….”. :-) Sing it sister!

From their second cd, other than the previously mentioned “Want To”, I have to say “Settlin’” cuz that song really makes me think about what’s going on and what / why I’m tolerating.

I’m still learning the new cd but I’m sure there’s something on there for me. :-)

Sorry I’m delayed with the congrats–well deserved, I’m sure.

When I was finishing my dissertation for my PhD, I always played Faith Hill’s “Free” b/c of the line “Packed my tools,went back to school And I passed my graduation,and I hold my PH.D In crash test blues I paid those dues”

Maybe you can celebrate being “free” from the binds of school now too :)

Lately, I’ve been shivering with recognition at George Strait’s “Troubadour”. Not too often I have much in common with him, but this song definitely.
