Too Busy To Hump? Nah.

It's MATCHDAY! Hope You Have Your Flares..

Allo Hello party people! Guess what day it is? Guess what day it is? Well if you really have to guess at this point you can use a lifeline. It's Hump Day!

Whoop! Whoop!!

Man oh my, I'm feeling alright alright alright! It's kind of strange not having a soccer match for whole week thanks to Memorial Day but no complaints...slightly. After clocking out and rushing home to grab my gear now I can just chill on the couch for a few moments and head to the gym? What is the anarchy?!

Speaking of the gym, I've been going H.A.M. in there and making some gains towards my yearly goals. Regularly curling 35's and if the progress continues well then I'm gonna attempt to make the jump to 40's; not the ones at the local 7-11 haha. Total body wise I feel more in tune with myself and getting stronger in my arms and legs. Extra Bonus: The 6-Pack is coming back!

Just gonna keep going at it in the weight room and on the soccer field. Even with a week break, I made it out to the fields just to practice a few things. Probably won't make it out today due to U.S. Open Cup action at City Stadium and Standing Up For Richmond. You know how it is.

#SUFR

Anywho, I'm blessed where I'm at and awaiting what I can do next to improve on the daily. Along with giving a few smiles and laughs to those as the journey through life continues. Contemplating a few options in my mind but who knows what the final decision will be; stay tuned.

Also...my barber gave me an awesome fauxhawk and people can't stop staring it. Literally.

You'll go blind if you stare for long periods of time haha.

Have A Great Day People!

Viva La Hump Day!

(Kazie's Daily Musical: "No Church In The Wild" by Jay-Z & Kanye West)

Happy Memorial Day!

On this day, we celebrate and remember those brave men and women who lost their lives in an act of incredible courage. Those that have fallen knew what their mission was and what they were protecting; and yet they did it anyway. These heroes knew that they were playing Russian Roulette with their lives once they signed up for this; they did it anyway.

The United States of America is the greatest country on Planet Earth. Period. End of Story. And we have larger-than-life Americans that are willing to put themselves on the chopping block to protect their own and the millions of citizens back on home soil. All Day. Every Day.

So while you're enjoying your BBQs, toasting a local brew with pals or just enjoying a lovely day off. Take some time remember the true reason why we have this holiday. And say Thank You.

To all those that have fallen, to all of those families and close friends who have a fallen solider and to all of those representing the USA in uniform protecting our freedoms.

Thank You.

Thank You.

Thank You.

Happy Memorial Day.

What's wrong with you?

Sitting there frowning the way you do?

Things not going your way?

Need an emergency vacay?

Fret not. There are better days ahead.

And if you open this Hallmark card, there's more words to be read.

But this isn't some fantasy wordplay for $3.99.

Let's be real for a few seconds because it's about that time.

This life can be purgatory and other times it can soar to the heavens.

It can also be pure hell cranking the difficulty up to +7.

Where things roam out control yet your still plugged in.

Not knowing you hit pause as the game continues with you in a frozen state.

You're in control where at times it seems you're far from it.

Trying to stay in the game, even though you're trailing from the opening tip.

There's always time for the comeback kid.

Lace Up, Mount Up and Give It Everything.

You may come up short but that doesn't mean the game is over.

Next time around just cut out all those turnovers.

Maybe rotate more along with more pressure from your reserves.

Then boom! Victory is Yours! Swerve.

Life can be a bitch but it's a beautiful one.

Treat it right and you can rep the rewards.

Treat it like a bitch and welp...you'll become one.

For now, finish strong. The weekend is almost here.

Bet you won't find that in a Hallmark. Not even a signed Sincere. 

Cheers!

Allo Hello! Wassup! Hello! How did your weekend go?

One Hashtag To Define Mine: #AllTheCardio. From the gym to the blacktop to the pitch both outside and indoor. Run Kazie Run! After the final match of the weekend, literally passed out after eating my Quesadilla combo from Cookout. 

Fortunately my phone was in a good mood this morning blaring 'Hero' by Nas signaling that Monday has come. So what's on tap for today and this new week? Get work done, live life loud and not to let the small stuff have a big impact on myself.

Also try to lift a pair of 40s at the gym this week; who knows, I might enjoy one of those kicking back on the porch in celebration of that accomplishment haha.

Anywho, it is a rather humid morning but apparently spring showers are in the forecast. Don't let them rain on your parade though; in fact do a showstopping number drenched claims bonus points from the judges.

Even the Russian judge gotta give something for that.

Let's Dance Monday, Let's Dance!

Why hello there Friday! What's new? How are you?

See that you brought all the sun for the world to see.

Feeling good, feeling great. That's what is on my plate.

Waiting in line to cash in so I can chow into this morning steak.

Nothing wrong with some beef. It's good for the body.

Unless you're talking about the other beef. You know, the one that annoys everybody.

A minion trying to create the new Detroit vs. Everybody.

Yet the target is you. And you're unlike everybody.

Usually the beef is rooted to some underground hatred.

Which could lay out some dark seeds and sprouts out haters like a 9 to 5.

They clock in and look to spread their mediocrity.

From the suburbs all the way into the inner city.

Don't feed into what they trying to sell.

Once you take a bite then you will forever be in a personal hell.

However here's an unspoken truth: You need haters in your life.

Because who else are you gonna tower over and shine your light.

They have a job: Hate. Nothing more, nothing less.

Brush 'em, laugh hysterically and let them roll in their own mess.

No matter what you do, no matter how nice you are and shall be.

There will always be someone that doesn't like you nor the words you speak.

If it seems like you have 20 haters, you need to add to make 40.

 Then pop one open in celebration. After all it's the weekend.

Crank up a few tunes and lounge in your favorite chair along with a mate.

And maybe have your crew join you. That should make the haters irate. 

Cheers!

Hump. You Have A Life To Live.

Amazing. So are You. Check Out More of Miguel-Santos work!

Allo Hello! Viva La Hump Day! and all that Humpful Jazz on this rather humid yet delightful Wednesday!

Whoop! Whoop!!

My oh me oh my. I'm feeling a tad discombobulated at the moment due to a rest day which consisted of some work here and there mixed with Grifball, Twitchin' and scoring some GOOOOLLLLSSS in FIFA. Speaking of golazos, saw the 2nd Leg of Barcelona and Bayern Munich in the UEFA Semis which was pretty entertaining goal-wise. Barcelona punching their ticket as they head to Berlin for the Final. So who has my vote in today's semi-final to meet them in Olympiastadion in June? Juventus.

Sorry not sorry Ronaldo fans. 

Outside the pitch, you guys and gals need to enjoy your life. Now I'm not saying that you aren't because I don't know your life; I only know mine and there are times during it where the terrain does turn into shit but I'm still grindin' and smilin through the bullshit. Anywho...don't forget to enjoy yourself through the hustle and tussle on the daily. Life's not just about working 24/7; unless you choose to clock in and never clock out.

Be grateful, live life loud and enjoy yourself!

I mean seriously...how are you gonna enjoy yourself sitting behind a desk all day long?

Don't go there...I know where your mind is going haha.

Happy Humping and don't forget to brush your teeth. That morning breath is deadly.

You Are Not Alone. (On Tap 159)

It can get lonely out here. Yet you're never truly alone.

It's been a minute...well actually a week since the last post on here. Oh where are my manners. Allo Hello! How was your Mother's Day? Good for you and your mama I hope. If you were blessed to spend time with your mother, you better have given her a big hug. Mommas love hugs.

A very interesting topic came up ironically yesterday for me; extra bonus for it constantly popping up like my text notifications throughout the day. From the church sermon to family talks to even my girlfriend along with it somehow rolling onto the pitch during my match: The word 'Alone'.

From my perspective I literally see, touch and deal with this topic on the daily basis. From social media to my front door step to even in my down time when trying to get away. What does it mean to truly be alone? According to my pastor's sermon yesterday morning, alone means that you have completely separated yourself from society, Meaning no friends, no family, no contact, nada, zilch, nothing.

News Flash: If that's truly how you live your life then yes you're completely alone; And probably need some serious help. Ladies and gentlemen, we are not alone. Just because you don't have a significant other or spouse or a BFF that does not mean the end of the world is straight at your front door.

Yes, there are times in life that you need to be left alone but to truly be alone in this world is a terrifying reality that even you don't want to picture.

Eventually you'll stumble upon a person that could turn out to be your partner in crime, the man/woman of your dreams or your Day 1 ride or die friend that's down to helping you become a better person. Just because none of these things are here and now does not mean if you keeping being yourself and stop mentally beating yourself up over the stuff that you don't have...maybe just maybe the things you want will come.

Blessings on Blessings on Blessings.

Various amounts of them throughout the day, so much that I can afloat in the deep end above my head.

Now that demons are controlled and we have a new week, let us rejoice and conquer what's at our feet.

Go Get Em!
