Lyrical Spiritual 33

I'm beginning to feel like...

Me. Not a Rap God.

Not at Shady's level, more like intermediate.

Ruthless with a goofy swag that can't be repeated.

Starting from the bottom, haven't made it to the top yet.

Located in the middle strolling though the muck.

Everyone with dirt strains and dirtier faces glaring.

Oh I think they like me. Well maybe not so much.

I'll keep blaring through these streets not giving a fuck.

Can't let the hatred infect my stream.

Won't ever give up living the dream.

That alarm has been on repeat, I can't hear it.

I'm still in comatose living through it.

Life is a dream. No cliche, true story.

A fairy tale going from rags to glory.

So as the bitching continues, bums asking to fill their empty cup.

I'm gonna keep living 100 until I wake up.

Cheers!

The Hump Remains.

Allo Hello. From my mouth to your ears, I would like to say the following: Hump Day Is Here!

Whoop! Whoop!

The midpoint of the week has arrived and the opinion of it varies from person to person. Some love it, others happy see it, and some just rolling their eyes thinking "ughhhh...another day."

Hey yo. Out of those three options, I'm option A. I'm feeling good, I'm looking good according to other people thanks to a shave and a haircut and in general...I'm just one happy dude. It's been a busy week with a few struggles here and there yet I'm still here with a grin on my face and a dirty joke on my brain.

Giggity.

Plus it's Hump Day for goodness sake! Humps can always put a chuckle on this guy's face. Hopefully it brightens up your spirit on this day as well.

Hump Day quotable trio coming at ya!

A New Swag, A New Day

Wake Up. We Got A Day To Conquer.

Allo Hello.

Look it's Tuesday! Meaning the mumbles and grumbles of the Mondays can cease. Also it's another day, another blessing along with having a new swag for a new day.

I'm feeling pretty good upon my alarm waking me up; even took a few moments to glaze at the upcoming sunrise. 

Pretty good start to the day. 

Let's keep the goodness rolling party peoples.

Believe That!

Overconfidence? I'll Take It! (On Tap 132)

M-Eralp. You sir take some amazing photos!

Allo Hello G-double O-D GOOD! peoples! 

Sadly the weekend has come to an end at sunset...and it was a good one wasn't it?...now Monday is here upon opening our eyes for the start of a new adventure. Something that I heard over the weekend rattled my curiosity and now I bring to your attention:

Overconfidence. 

Chit-chatting with a few people I know along with complete strangers over the weekend, for some reason this word kept popping up like a FB Chat that just won't go away.

Some people think overconfidence is a bad thing; I do not share the same opinion. Personally, I would rather have overconfidence than no confidence at all when I can back that overconfidence up.

Now there are cases overconfidence backfires the performance given on occasions; which gives overconfidence a bad rap sheet. There's also times where overconfidence comes through which leads to the bragging and the "I told you so!" plus a side of "That's What I Do!"

Whether you have confidence or overconfidence, it's better than not having any confidence in yourself at all. So...and yes I know it's Monday...insert some confidence in that body system of yours and get stuff done today!

Cause if you don't have confidence in yourself, the hell are you gonna accomplish in life?

And Monday is gonna be a great day.

I have confidence in that.

Believe That!

These Legs Ain't Humpin...

Hump Day. Allo Hello!

Whoop! Whoop!

My body is still buffering this morning; I blame Leg Day. Other than that disadvantage of leg satisfaction with rep after rep after rep, feeling pretty stellar out the gates.

Man...those 100 reps on the Leg Press is gonna make walking fun today haha.

Hump Day.

Whoop! Whoop!

(That'll put some extra power in the step.)

Along with some protein..mmm protein haha.

And now this week's quotable trio! Enjoy the Humpness!

Time 4 Sum Aksion! (On Tap 131)

Time to get back on the road.

Allo Hello and let's get ready to RUUMMBBBLLEEEE!

The weekend is long and gone with Monday rolling into the city looking for a fight. My weekend was stellar with a mixture of random events and good times.

And Also This! #ALSBucketChallenge

I can still feel the ice going down my shirt... Yes, I was also challenged by two of my "pals" to do the ALS Bucket Challenge. Which was pretty fun and cold...very, very cold haha. And of course there's video via Instagram!

After that cool down, the rest of the weekend was literally...lazy haha. Although I got 5 dots on my FitBit so I guess I wasn't a true bum for the whole weekend. Gotta keep this figure up and moving somehow. 

Anywho, my weekend was fun. Hopefully yours was as well.

Monday has entered the squared circle, octagon, hexagon or whatever multiple sided battleground you want your arena to be. The objective stays the same; Monday is gonna knock you out!

At least that's what it thinks...

Even with a rather impressive record of KO's and tapouts on it's resume, Monday has never truly faced a worthwhile opponent; until today. Today it faces a beast that will not accept defeat. A foe that may land a few lucky licks on the canvas but can't knockdown for a full 10 count nor fully get to quit via submission. 

Nah, Monday may have finally met their match.

All it takes is a beast.

Make Your Move.

Have A Great Day.

Bring The Pain To Monday.

Lyrical Spiritual 32

Well Friday is here. Hip Hop Hooray!

Time to rave and slay until the calendar reads Monday.

Monday? Ugh...I mean yay!

Usually comes with bad vibes yet this week was a full ride.

Smooth sailing on these rocky waters without a captain.

No destination in place, just making things happen.

Bystanders starring with looks of Ooh, Ahh and a few demonic glares

Lesson 1: It's impolite to stare.

Well in this case, the lesson can be thrown at the chalkboard.

Keep staring and I'll flip some knowledge down your vocal chords.

Lighting up these dark streets with a smile and no care in the world.

"You're a strange fella"

Call that a compliment for this "alien" fella.

At the end of my journey, there is just me, myself and I.

As I beam me up Scotty towards the stars and skies.

I'm on a high way beyond Cloud 9.

More blaze than Puff Puff Tuesdays.

Just a man saying "Welcome to the Good Life" from me to you.

Blaring snippets from Man on the Moon and some MMLP2.

Yeah I'm a little explicit...ok maybe a lot.

No time for judging. More time for celebratory purposes.

So crack open a can and raise your head toward the surface.

Friday has arrived at your doorstep.

Now do the 2 Step.

Cheers!

The Hump. Nothing But The Hump.

Hump Dayyyyyy!

Whoop! Whoop!

Oh Wednesday you always put a chuckle in my system when my alarm goes off. Even through the hustle known as Monday and Tuesday, here you are to brighten up the week.

Speaking of weeks, you know that feeling you get of spending weeks on working towards a goal? Whether it's finding a job, losing weight around your beer belly or learning a new skill to add to your arsenal of skills? 

Well one of my fitness goals this year was to work on increasing my strength, muscle and stamina; so far...I think it's safe to say that those goals are close to being conquered. 

Close. But not conquered. Not yet.

Anywho, have fun today people! After all...it is Hump Day! Whoop! Whoop!

And now this week's quotable trio!!!

The Daily: Ninja Kicks!

Now if only I looked as cool as this...

Allo Hello! I'm feeling pretty fantastic this morning and sending some vibes to you and all on this Tuesday morning.

A rather humid Tuesday morning but aye...gotta work with something.

If I had to describe my Monday in words: Ninja Kicks. Yeah...that's perfect! Apparently I was in my inner Japanese warrior sensei yesterday slicing objectives with ease thanks to my katana. Along with soaring through a house of flying daggers on the soccer field later that night and ALMOST scoring a goal via a Ninja Kick!

So yeah...Monday was a pretty badass day for myself!

As for Tuesday, well guess we will have to turn the page and see what's in store in today's chapter. Spoiler Alert: it involves kicking ass, working my ass off and Air Heads. 

Lots and lots of Air Heads. Gahhh!

Have A Great One!

Make Your Move. Boot the Stress. Forget the Mess.

Monday?? Yay! (On Tap 130)

Arise. A New Challenge Awaits You.

Allo Hello to all of your pretty faces! It is Monday. You can let out that gigantic UGH! upon the realization but guess what? Today is STILL gonna be a good day.

Regardless of the ugly title of it...

By the way, was your weekend was eventful? Mine kind of was. Another few days of solitude and relaxation for this guy which was just what my doctor would have prescribed for me after my weekly checkup. Along with stuffing my face with some good eating thanks to my girlfriend and mi familia and trying out some new local brews and out-of-state ones from Louisiana and Mississippi...it was a pretty chill weekend.

Onward to Monday and here we are as the sun rises again. Another blessing in disguise for all of us fortunate to see it when you really think about it. So enough of the moaning, wining, crying and bitching just because it's "Monday".

Still can be a great day if you put some effort into it.

Now wipe the crust out your eyes and go brush your teeth. Also freshen up that head of yours...nobody likes that bed hair look. A shower couldn't hurt either haha. Gotta look your Monday best right?

Make Your Move. Enjoy Your Day. Boot The Stress Away.

130...!
