Top 11 Most Relatable Anna Kendrick Tweets





Apparently celebrities are just like us!  They put their pants on one leg at a time.  (Even if those pants cost a whopping $800).  Sometimes Twitter is a reminder that all of us mere mortal beings occasionally struggle with a unhealthy relationship with carbs, awkward human interactions and the perils of adulthood.

On her Twitter account, actress Anna Kendrick seems to explicitly say what you've been thinking at one time or another.  Listed below are 11 of her most relatable tweets.

Music Discovery Mondays - Songs To Add To Your Workout Playlist



If you are anything like myself, you absolutely cannot work out without your iPod.  I refer to my workout playlist as a personal trainer.  The more motivating and upbeat my song selections are, the more likely I will prolong my workout.  If you are looking for new or noteworthy fitness songs to download for your workout playlist, look no further than the compilation listed below.



Busy Earnin' - Jungle

You may be busy earning a living, but this track will also inspire you to earn a few extra steps.  Download this Euro hit and mimic the mesmerizing dance moves from the music video.  (Or better yet, develop your own choreography).   




Use The Force - Jamiroquai 

When you have neglected your fitness goals, and you are looking for redirection, Jamiroquai can lead you right back into the fitness game with their track 'Use The Force.'  While working out to this tune, you will believe that you 'can do anything' all the while using the 'force' within.





Apollo Throwdown - The Go! Team

It is nearly impossible to listen to this track without grooving to the beat.  At the very least, you will catch yourself partaking in shoe-tappin' activity.  For optimum health results, crank this song on your Ipod to the highest level of ghetto-blasting amplification.

In God's Country - A Trip to Joshua Tree National Park



A month ago, I was finally able to cross off 'Joshua Tree National Park' from my bucket list.  Perhaps part of the inspiration for the trek was U2's 1987 critically acclaimed album titled none other than "The Joshua Tree."  I have included lyrics from their "The Joshua Tree" album below to showcase our relationship with desert life...and perhaps life in general.    





Desert sky
Dream beneath a desert sky 
The rivers run but soon run dry
We need new dreams tonight

"In God's Country"





In the locust wind
Comes a rattle and a hum

"Bullet The Blue Sky"






Night hangs like a prisoner  
Stretched over black and blue
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat

"Mothers of the Disappeared"




My lips were dry, throat like rust
You gave me shelter from the heat and dust

"Trip Through Your Wires"





We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill
As the day begs the night for mercy

"One Tree Hill"





I'll show you a place high on a desert plain 
Where the streets have no name

"Where the Streets Have No Name"
