Fun, Fun, Fun! (On Tap 136)

Allo Hello Monday. Wipe yourself up, we got some fun to be had.

Speaking of fun, my weekend was definitely that. Oktoberfest had steins being filled, bratwurst being devoured and good times where had all across town.

For myself, I was nowhere near town as I went camping with the family...where we had our own Oktoberfest celebration in the wilderness haha. Still..good times were had at the campground.

See the common theme here? Now Monday may not be on the same page but guess what? Fun will be had today. At least that's my agenda along with handling a little bit of business on the side.

Either way, fun shall be had today Monday. Fun shall be had.

Believe That!

Lyrical Spiritual 37.

Here comes that brand new flava to ya screen.

Another day, another chance to reign supreme.

Hey Hey! Just a prince working towards the crown.

With a smile that makes peasants feel foul.

Foul play? Just another day of dirty tricks.

Now I have something to aim at as I step back up to bat.

Another wild pitch, this time I popped it.

Instead of going over the fence, full force into the eye socket.

"Ohhhh what a swing! That's gonna sting!"

As the announcer goes for another serving of ball park onion rings.

Full count. The pressure's on.

Do I go for the safest thing or risk it all.

Risk scares people away at first sight.

Yet to get that upgrade, you must fight.

Guts over fear in order to get the reward.

If you crave for more, then you must risk by moving forward.

Cheers!

Calm Down! Hump Day Is Here!

Allo Hello and rejoice for Hump Day has arrived!

Whoop! Whoop!

We have reached the middle! Where all that juicy goodness that Monday and Tuesday was hiding behind that hard shell as Hump Day shows up to put a smile on thousands of faces. My face currently still has crust in my eyes so a wash cloth and some soap will be necessary upon typing this up.

I'm feeling good, I'm feeling blessed, I'm feeling...like me! So a triple threat of goodness on my end for the win! Can't let that petty mess other wise known as bullshit ruin a perfectly good day in the making.

Plus...it's Hump Day!

You can't be mad on a Hump Day!

Whoop! Whoop!

I Whooped! Whooped! Twice. I'm gonna leave it there and wish you all a humpolicious Hump Day!

And leave the quotable trio right here!

Monday? Sweet. (On Tap 135)

Erlap and his photoscopic amazingness!

Monday morning. An Allo Hello to you kind lady.

Kind Lady? Monday?? Yes Monday can be a bitch to handle sometimes. Yet I'm gonna treat her the same way I treat the other 6 beautiful days of the week; with a smile, a care-free attitude to any bullshit that comes my way, along with an iron will to accomplish whatever it is I set out to do.

Oh yes, and of course the randomness that I bring to the table. Gotta remember the randomness.

See...I've been through too much and seen too much to throw a pity party when I rip off the new day on the calendar and it reveals Monday; I'm just gonna party a different way.

I'm grateful to see another Monday and thousands of other blessings that could probably fill about 15 full web pages if I decided to make a couple of posts about the variety of blessings that I receive haha. 

Life is way too short to be moan and groan about shit that doesn't even matter. Learn to be grateful about your life and what you got because there are people out there that want what you have. It may not be an ideal situation you currently are sitting in; work towards upgrading it or shut up and enjoy rolling around in your filth.

Now if you excuse me, Monday is getting dressed and so do I.

Today I'm going to enjoy my Monday.

Believe That!

Lyrical Spiritual 36

The sun is moving over the horizon,

Another man is summon to another rising.

One more day to make something with what he has.

Making more with just parts and a duffel bag.

Maybe he won't. Or maybe he will.

He may fall, he may rise to the occasion.

He may quit, he may stick around.

He may become a victim, he may make them haters move around.

What's a man to do?

Well first tie your shoes.

Look at what you gotta do.

Extra bonus for completing in one swoop.

If you're happy where you at, don't worry about moving.

Yet when things get hairy, changing addresses seems less scary.

The only moves necessary are ones heading north.

Claiming victory and moving on to the next court.

Lil Tuenchi stays 'Ray Charles to the bullshit.'

That philosophy should be a daily practice for all.

Don't let shit unfilter your vision, use your actions to scream 'Fuck 'em All.'

Keep grindin with that "I Got This!" Attitude.

Rewards be a-coming even if it takes a longer interlude.

I'm about whatever man with an never ending objective sheet.

Since I haven't reached the pinnacles that I want to reach.

Opinions spreading like wildfire, just blaze and put them out.

Keep calm and be you. Not a carbon copy of another invention.

Change the game, don't be a bum in the frozen meats section.

Cheers.

Connect The Dots.

This is pretty nifty from Jenni77!

Allo Hello! Thursday is here and I couldn't be happier to see her face. Don't tell Wednesday that...she gets jealous easily.

I mean who doesn't love humps right? Whoop! Whoop!

Anywho, I've been busy all week and was blessed to have a little bit of free time this morning just to type up an Allo Hello! in hopes that all is well on your side of the universe as the week has almost come to an end.

Let's aim for ending it on a high note.

That's what I'm striving for.

Believe That!

"You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.

Let's Do This Monday. (On Tap 134)

Allo Hello Monday morning and to all of you wishing that it was still the weekend.

Unfortunately the weekend had a time limit and there's no toll we can add change to for time extension purposes; if that was an actual option in life, this would have been the weekend for me to have a few extra quarters.

Mine wasn't a super spectacular festivity but it had it's entertaining moments. From Cards Against Humanity to a local beer craft festival to witnessing one of the craziest playoff soccer matches ever. Yeah this weekend was a pretty damn good one.

Now Monday is here upon the sun rising above the skyscrapers. I'm grateful to see another day in this crazy place. That's one thing you can do on Monday...be grateful that you get to see another day and stop tripping about small stuff that don't even matter. Time to get up and get moving!

Actually, I need my morning protein first...

After that intake, I'm gonna have some fun today. 

Believe that!

Lyrical Spiritual 35.

I've lost my mind, that's not a bad thing.

Less paperweight on my body to carry.

Physically that wouldn't be ideal, mentally is more accurate.

With one click, it's magic.

"Don't you need that tho?"

When I'm doing academics yes,

Along with the basics of breathing and feeding.

Yet when you turn your mind off, it's almost similar to healing.

Just you, your body and your soul. No outside distractions.

Three beings creating the ultimate heel faction.

In this world, our minds run around the clock plus overtime.

Wearing down the temple, discerning the heart.

Don't let the game change you, change the game with your version of art.

We all need that me time, it's good for the heart.

Money, job, house, car. Words that rattle the brain.

Not having one of those words drives them insane the membrane,

And that's not just a Cypress Hill lyric.

A dose of reality injected to the human spirit.

Keep grindin' fellas and bellas, life is a beautiful struggle.

Don't forget to enjoy the pictures while using your muscle.

Stay true to oneself and keep it moving better and better.

Then you'll level up to finally get that chinchilla sweater.

And when you have the time, lose your mind.

You need that self-time to make yourself truly shine.

Cheers!

Never Forget.

Never Forget.

Allo Hello everyone. Can't actually believe that it has been 13 years.

13 years ago to this day on September 11, 2001 my life was changed here in America. Today we mourn as a nation for those that lost their lives on that horrific day of cowardness when the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington D.C. was attacked by terrorists.

Thousands of lives were taken away on that dark day and thousands upon thousands were injured. Yet on the darkest of days in American history, we stood tall. Yes we were knocked down by the massive blow but not for very long. Firefighters, police officers, EMT's, soldiers, civilians, bystanders, everyone that was able to lend a hand stepped up to the plate.

You want an example of courage, guts, emotion, passion, meaning. Look and listen to some of the stories on that day when the planes made impact. Look at the imagery of bravery and compassion by our men and women rushing into the sounds of chaos to help out their fellow citizens in agony. Look at what people have done in order to ease the pain and grief of those that lost their mom, their dad, their brother, their sister, their husband, their wife, their BFF, their Day One, their partner in crime.

Life is way too short people. We never known when we are going to take our final breath or walk our last step. You gotta get out there and live your life while at the same time be blessed and thankful with what you got. It may be not much nor it may not be what you want but that's A-O.K. Just be thankful that you got something to work with and keep pushing, keep grindin' towards the things you want to get out of life.

Enjoy your damn life people. No matter how broken down it can get, no matter how shitty it can be at it's darkest moments, no matter how much hate and blasphemy comes your way to derail you off the tracks...ENJOY. YOUR. LIFE.

My condolences and well wishes to all those that were affected by this tragic event 13 years ago. I personally hope that the healing process has gone well for you but I also understand this isn't easy when you lose someone close to you in the matter that it happened. Yet you know that the spirit of that individual that's on your mind on that day that didn't make it home is surrounding you and within you every single day and just when you think you're alone...they are right there. Remember the good times you had with them, God bless you and may all those people that had their lives stolen from 9/11 Rest In Peace.

"On this day we witnessed chaos, turmoil and heartbreak in our homes. Yet on that dark day, a light of courage shined bright through those dark clouds of tyranny."

Hump Time!

Allo Hello guys and gals! Guess what? It's Hump Day! (Whoop Whoop included)

Whoop! Whoop!

See? Anywho it's the middle of the weekly conquest that we see today. Hopefully your conquest is going well as the explorations have resulted in findings worth digging up and cashing in the rewards.

On the other hand, some explorations have not gone as planned as the terrain has got tough to dig something good out of it. For those, keep grinding and keep digging; in those rough patches lye the best gold money can buy.

On a personal note, this week has gone smoothly this time around start wise. Although my fuse has been lit a few times this week, still been a pretty stellar few days in the neighborhood.

Even got back into soccer shape after a week of rest. And by rest I mean going to the gym 4-5 days during my mini futbol vacation.

Gotta keep the temple from cracking right? haha.

Enjoy your day good peoples; I'm gonna do the same.

Believe That!

Allo Hello peeps! 

Monday is here; I can see the excitement in your eyes. For myself, I'm still in the progress of waking up so Monday is gonna have to wait a few moments before I'm completely ready to see her lovely face.

A shower would be ideal as well...

Anywho, personally hoping that this week goes along way better than the previous one. It was a ferocious last seven days for myself yet I'm still here. Through hits, drama, mistakes and slip-ups yet I still got a slight grin on my face. Someday it will get better; that is what I believe and that is what I'm working towards. That Someday.

What's your Someday? 

Someday when you finishing off paying your loans. 

Someday when you find the relationship of your dreams. 

Someday when you finally get that job you've been searching for.

Someday when you lose 50 pounds. 

Someday when you sign your name to a mortgage.

Someday when you get yourself clean.

Someday when you finally forgive that unforgivable betrayal.

Someday when you find your purpose.

Someday when you graduate high school.

Someday when you finally get over the heartbreak.

There are a multiple Somedays and it can vary upon person to person. We all have things that we want to strive for yet there are objectives that we get over-obsessed with trying to complete. Someday I want this, someday I want that. And I love seeing people working towards making that day a reality instead of just waiting on the day to "magically" appear on the calendar.

So whatever your Someday is, I hope that you are able to see it one day. Whether you see it today, tomorrow, next week, in 8 months or 5 years...Never. Give. Up.

I Repeat. 

Never. Give. Up.

Believe That!

(And Have A Spectacular Monday!)

Lyrical Spiritual 34

Out here in this chaotic world lies distractions, disguises and thirst traps.

Followed by a handful of drama looking for necks to snap.

It's rather easy to fall victim to a permanent dirt nap.

Except I forgot my pillow, gotta go, no time for a quick chit chat.

This week has been full of elementary irritation,

More annoying than a Zimmerman interrogation.

At every corner, another wild annoyance appeared.

With morning breath nagging nuisance in my ear. 

Through all of these moans of these bitches and ho's in this salty ocean.

Rising over them like high tide while they replied "O-Shit!"

The wave was treacherous, my balance was even worse.

Couldn't tell by my landing with the judges awarding me first.

Whining and crying is acceptable under certain conditions,

No one wants to deal with the water works distracting from the mission.

Wipe them water boogers from your eyes,

Less bitching, it's time to put on that armor and forward strive.

My B.S. detector is on red, time for a cool-down.

Plug it back in for a quick charge as I press restart.

Tearing things up, a start from scratch is in order.

Clawing my notepad like a caged animal trapped in a dark corner.

Ow my face! Well you shouldn't have put your eye there.

Watch out for the other one, it could be next.

Or maybe your thorax since you don't say shit with your chest.

Scattering to the streets unwanted pest.

On my own two feet in an upright position.

Near the finish but not in pole position.

A variety of matter in between the cracks of my Tims.

Finito. Completo. Now it's your turn...suit up Slim.

My arsenal has been upgraded, skills at +5.

Don't forget those potions. Increased chances to survive.

Objectives painted for you, the enemy lies in the wait.

This is survival mode. The controller is in your hands.

Will you survive? Welp, that answer is in your hands. 

Cheers!

1..Hump...2...Hump.

Allo Hello and a happy Hump Day to you and you and you!

Whoop! Whoop!

You know that feeling you have when you actually get a decent amount of rest the night before? And I'm not talking about that good sleep...I'm talking about that Chris Tucker yelling "You Got Knocked the F#*k! Out!" type of knockout snoozefest. Man, that was good nap haha.

As we arise to the sun rising over the trees, noisy neighbors warming up the cars and all the morning commotion around the house...we have successfully reached the midpoint. Otherwise known as Hump Day.

Whoop! Whoop!

Double the Whoop! Whoop! this morning? Them z's definitely got me feeling good this morning haha. Anywho, don't stop here people; you know you can go a little further. You know you can push yourself a couple more feet. You can work a little bit harder. You can conquer a little more convincingly.

Even if this week hasn't been the best of luck for you thus far, you still have a impact on the end of the week's outcome. No matter how much shit your bosses or co-workers give you around the office, no matter the amount of drama surrounding you and your friendships, relationships and other -ships, no matter the heaviness of the burden put on your shoulders by your family, your society or even yourself.

All of that can drive someone insane in the membrane. Yet you can either let all that sink inside your body systems and kill you from the inside-out OR give all that the finger, be yourself and run rampant through all that towards upgrading your arsenal, hardening your armor and advancing through life in a convincing fashion.

No matter what anyone says...

The Choice Is Always Yours.

Believe That!

Back 2 Tuesday?

Allo Hello and welcome to Mon...I mean Tuesday. Ahh Tuesday.

Monday may have been in rare form since most people were actually happy to see it due to the fact that it was Labor Day! Grilling, brews, family, friends and good times were had on that day so you better be in better form come Tuesday. My Labor Day involved a trip to the gym and then passing out on the couch...nothing special but still a good day and an even better nap.

Today also marks the beginning of school for all the kids! All the little ones getting their day one outfits ready while freshmen entering high school territory lurk in the shadows away from the seniors haha. 

Yup. Class is back in session.

Speaking of Tuesday...which is today...get out there and have some fun!

At least that's what I'm planning anyways.

Believe That!
