Monday's Better With Rhymes. (On Tap 144)


As our souls are reawakened on this Monday morning.
Let us rejoice with joy instead of overrated mourning.
Hey guess what? It's Monday whether your like the headline or not.
So get up and seize the day or just sit there and rot.

Believe That.

See? The warriors raise their game to match the stakes.
Defeating their enemies with flawless victory and bystanders watching in wake.
Can't stop. Won't stop. Multiply by 3 at the starting line.
What are you gonna do? Let the rocks crush you or are you gonna climb.

Climb the summit filled with impossibility and lost hope.
Many men have failed. Been finger tips away but choked.
Lost that drive when they were closer to the prize.

Here's your chance: Strive to Thrive.

Believe That!

Hump In The Key.

Allo Hello on this new and improved Hump Day! Now with 25% more hump and 75% less creepiness!

Whoop! Whoop!!

This one is gonna be a short one...giggity...due to the aftermath of chanting, screaming and stomping with a splash of yelling at last night's VCU game. Needless to say...I'm a tad bit tired upon my alarm summoning me this morning.

Not yet in full game shape just yet lol.

And I get to do it all over again Thursday! Yeah I definitely need to recover all day, every day lol

Have A Good...scratch that...Great Hump Day people! 
And remember...don't start no stuff, won't be no stuff.

Believe That!

The Daily: GAMEDAY!!!

That Moment You Realize...That It's GAMEDAY!
Allo Hello party people! Welp as you can tell my picture of choice for this post...I'm excited and energetic upon opening my eyes because it's GAMEDAY!!!

#LetsGoVCU

The biggest show in RVA is finally back! (Officially!) And yes...I'm too hype. Wait is that even possible? Nah... As an extra bonus, feeling pretty good after a cardio-packed night out on the soccer field and even got a decent amount of z's?

All I Do Is Win, Win, Win!

Haha. Anywho, have a great day peoples! And I'll see some of you at the Stu tonight!

Remember...you are more powerful than you think.
Believe That!

Back Again Monday?? (On Tap 143)


Allo Hello Monday, Monday, Monday. Are you ready to do this?

Judging by the moaning, groaning and slowly arising out of bed this morning...not so much haha. A little too much fun over the weekend?

Wait...that's blasphemy. Forget I asked that.

Speaking of the weekend, it was an entertaining three days for myself. VCU won against Tennessee (Go RAMS!), headed down to the Richmond Marathon and cheered on some of the runners as they ran closer to the finish line and basically chilled while having some good fun.

Now for Monday. I'm blessed to see another one and for good health and use of my body. I could go on about all the blessings I've received this morning but that would take up my entire blog. Literally.

Let's Do It People. Where's your starting point? Right here? Now push yourself to be further down the course before the day is over.

And always remember...fuck the excuses and the drama. Live your life and have some fun while doing it.
Believe That!

Brrr...the warmth has diminished a tad in the room.
Let's crank it up with a little Bon. Bon. Bon. Bon.
Now that the setting is right, time to jump right in.
Head first looking for that golden header to secure the win.

Oh it's Friday. x2 for fans of Rebecca Black.
Let that infect your brain like those old 80's non-playable tape decks.
Dagnabit. It's spreading.
Umm...distraction...hey did you receive your daily blessing?

Rhetorical question. Of course you did.
Wait I did? Can't you read?
Can't you see with eyes and visualize what you about to do?
Crack your hands, shake your limbs, stuff your face.
You didn't receive one blessing. More like 88.

That's to the Christians, Jews, Muslims..even towards the Atheists.
No matter the ethnicity, sexuality or whatever that is you may be.
Blessings happen to all. For all.
You want more? Gotta get hands-on to receive the call.

Ahh...this soapbox has me preaching more than usual.
Coming from this special breed, that is quite unusual.
Instead of draping in the highest fashion, I prefer casual.
Don't judge a book by the cover. Or you may be a casual...ty.

All these annoyances of drama, hatred and dead air.
More annoying then getting a pick stuck in a ball of hair.
Bam. Bam. Karate Chop!
That's the sound of hatred shut down when the beat drop.

Creating a new version of tetanus. Also known as lockjaw.
Laying down shock-waves courtesy of me to you.
With bigger booms than Mack committing to VCU.
Speaking of the Black & Gold, hooray for GAMEDAY.

Let's Ball Out! It's Time To Play!

Cheers!   

Hump Towards Progress


Allo Hello everybody! Are you ready to get humping?? Cause Hump Day has sounded the alarm!

Whoop! Whoop!!

Upon the midpoint of the week, I'm feeling pretty refreshed than usual. I blame the wild nap that appeared yesterday and used sleep on me in the version of a rest day. And yes it was super effective! Now that Hump Day has started, just need to get movin' and get groovin' around. Which should be a fun warm-up today before the main course of kickin' arse in the gym later.

Speaking of the gym...I've really seen progress since the beginning of the year when I had a few fitness goals of mine. Yes, it's still shocking to see actual muscle growth on my limbs and I'm at healthier weight! Now of course according to the BMI scale I'm overweight...even when I was around 175 pounds I was still overweight...so yeah, never listen to BMI. Ever.

Progress. Go make some today.

What do you want to do next?
What do you want to learn?
Got a skill you want to improve?

Whatever it is that you do...progress is the way to making it even better.
And so does Humping.

Whoop! Whoop!!

Now if you excuse me...I gotta listen to the Shady CXVPHER...again.

Viva La Hump Day!

Thank You Veterans.

'Merica.
Allo Hello ladies and gentlemen. 

It is a special day here in the States as we take time to personally show our appreciation to our fighting men and women that help make this the best damn country on Earth.

Yes I said it.

So to all of our fighting men and women wherever you may be stationed, to those that went to war for the Red, White and Blue to defend our country and it's citizens and those that lost their lives fighting for what they believed in and for the United States of America.

I would like to wish all of you a Happy Veterans Day.
You guys and gals are the true American Heroes.

Believe That!

A Rambunctious Weekend and Week Indeed! (On Tap 142)

Take Your Marks. Set. GO!
Allo Hello! I'm excited for Monday!

Now before you asked what did I do to my bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch this morning...I actually feel this way about Monday naturally.

And after a Rambunctious weekend of yelling, screaming and cheering with about a good thousand friends of mine at the Stu, going on a brew trail and almost causing my girlfriend to cry (in a good way!)...it was a very eventful and awesome weekend!

Did I mention rambunctious? Pretty sure I did.

Anywho, Monday is here and it is a rather below chilly one in the city but aye gotta turn up the notch today. Taking care of business in the morning, having fun in the evening is a good way to describe my day today. Especially with 3+ hours of Futbol tonight.

Kind of glad I took that rest day Sunday...needed it for tonight.

So don't be like the average Monday go-getter setting out to prove that Monday will indeed suck. Fuck Average and Excuses. Live your Life and Make Monday awesome!

You have the power to do it.
Believe That!

Okay. Now hold up...let me check my calendar.
It's Friday?? Hip-Hop Hooray!
I'm not Naughty by Nature, more by choice.
Rolling around with that extra bass in my voice.

No matter what you say or what you do, live your life at your own setting.
Don't be average; soar over like a learjet.
It's nice to have swag, now mix a little hustle and hard work.
Sprinkle a bit of dedication and you can rattle the entire nation.

No patience? Well that's ok. I'm not a doctor.
Reading your symptoms..you're on a crash course for cold sore.
Ay yo, Calm Down. Or better yet Keep Calm and Keep Pushing.
It's not a 90 second cure. Add more time to the meter to receive your award.

I may be young, naive and not have life figured out.
She's an equation filling my blackboard from bottom to top.
Life equals what? Well it varies on the formula.
Plus the numerous variables and signs. Ugh, too much math..going into a coma.

Quick someone shock me! Clear!
Whew...need time for my brain to reboot.
5...4...3...2....
Now with all these protons...what to do? what to do?

I know! Wait the light bulb isn't on.
I can live my life so therefore.
Let's rejoice and party. After all, it's Friday!

Plus it's GAMEDAY in RVA!

Cheers!

Where The Hump At??

Allo Hello and welcome to one of the best days of the week! Also known as Wednesday aka Hump Day!

Whoop! Whoop!

Hopefully you boys and girls did your civic duty as an American citizen and voted at the polls on Election Day yesterday. As a famous man once said: "Don't Vote. Don't Bitch." It was a rather eventful day before I could enter the polls but thankful the process literally took seconds.

But that was yesterday...today is Hump Day!
Whoop! Whoop!


What are you gonna do today to make today awesome? Whatever you decide to do, do it to the 100% power!



It's gonna be an awesome day.
Believe That!

And now...the quotable trio!

Vote Or Perish.

Allo Hello and Good Tuesday to all of YA! This one's gonna be a quickie.

Giggity.

It's Election Day here in the states and some of y'all are probably with the mindset of: "it's not for the President so why bother?" or "I hate politics" or "I got better things to do" blah blah blah!

You're right. It's not for the Presidential vote but it's pretty important since the people involved actually help the President make decisions on both the national, state and local levels.

So it may not be the main event vote but it's on the card and that affects you.

Go Vote People! It's your right and privilege. Don't let it go to waste.
Believe That!

An Hour Less? Now With Less Stress! (On Tap 141)


Allo Hello to all of you on this Monday morning. A rather chilly one upon the ESPN NHL 2K5 theme song blaring from my phone to wake me up to the new week.

Don't judge. Da-da-da-da!

People might be a little extra salty this Monday due to Daylight Savings time "screwing" us over with losing an hour...but guess what? Today is still gonna be a good day.

And you should know why...it's in your hands as to whether or not today is gonna be a stereotypical Monday of suckage or maybe just maybe it may be an awesome day with a chilly start-up.

No matter the work load, assignments due, bosses giving you the stink eye, friends being a-holes or whatever bullshit you encounter today, you have the power to not let that filter up your awesomeness and turn it to not-so-much awesome.

Today is Monday but damn it's gonna be a good day.
Believe That!
