Random Musings... Be Your Own Champion... Ride your Own Wave!

Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Icing, Caramel Drizzle and Candied Pecans....

That'll do Pig.

Where's Marty?

So that's where all the cans are made....

Chocolate and Shrimp?

I've paid my dues - 
Time after time - 
I've done my sentence 
But committed no crime - 
And bad mistakes 
I've made a few 
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face - 
But I've come through 

We are the champions - my friends 
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end - 
We are the champions - 
We are the champions 
No time for losers 
'Cause we are the champions - of the world - 

I've taken my bows 
And my curtain calls - 
You brought me fame and fortuen and everything that goes with it 
- 
I thank you all - 

But it's been no bed of roses 
No pleasure cruise - 
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race - 
And I ain't gonna lose - 

We are the champions - my friends 
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end - 
We are the champions - 
We are the champions 
No time for losers 
'Cause we are the champions - of the world - 

We can't all be Olympic athletes or Tour de France Winners or a CEO of a Fortune 500 Company but we can each pick something to improve on...

Run that flight of stairs instead of taking the elevator - feel the discomfort and exhilaration of being out of breath.

Do your own research to find the answer to something vs relying on someone's watered down version of the answer. 

Say what's on your mind instead of running it through all the filters that society has thrust upon you. 

Pick an event, a challenge, a weakness or a fear...

And then resolve....

To Own It!

Be Your Own Champion!
 

Take, if you want a slice 
If you want a piece 
If it feels alright 

Break, if you like the sound 
If it gets you up 
If it brings you down 

Share, if it makes you sleep 
If it sets you free 
If it helps you breathe 

Don't come over here 
And piss on my gate 
Save it just keep it 
Off my wave 

Cry, if you want to cry 
If it helps you see 
If it clears your eyes 

Hate, if you want to hate 
If it keeps you safe 
If it makes you brave 

Pray, if you want to pray 
If you like to kneel 
If you like to lay 

Don't come over here 
And piss on my gate 
Save it just keep it 
Off my wave 

Keep it off my wave 
Keep it off my wave 
Keep it off my wave 

My wave 

There will always be those around you who want to piss on your parade....

On something you hold dear, that you've worked on, that you believe in and are passionate about. 

They are likely just envious of what you have accomplished or just too stupid, lazy or chicken to get out of their own way. 

Make Your Own Wave....

And Ride It All the Way In!
