A Motivational Alternative

Never Forget.

Never Forget.
Allo Hello everybody. Today is Hump Day (Whoop! Whoop!) but it's also a day that we as Americans will always remember due to it's lasting affect on us as a Nation.

On September 11, 2001, an attack was made on American soil as four terrorist attacks were initiated upon New York and Washington D.C. Two planes were hijacked by terrorists and crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City where both towers caught ablaze and came crashing down in a blistering inferno. Another hijacked plane hit the Pentagon in Washington D.C. damaging the western side of the building. A fourth plane was also hijacked with it's target towards D.C. however the citizens of that plane tried overtaking it before it crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

2,977 people died during this horrific event; including the 227 civilians aboard the planes, 19 terrorist hijackers, and 343 firefighters on duty trying to rescue civilians.

Today marks the 12th anniversary of 9/11. Yes, it is a day of anger, grief, and sadness because some people lost a dad, a mom, a sister, a brother, a husband, a wife, a B.F.F.; someone special was taken from their lives due to an act of cowardliness.

But fret not for also on this day is a celebration of brotherhood. For as a nation we felt the sudden impact of this day as citizens of the amazing country. With death and turmoil staring at our faces, we picked up the pieces. Firefighters, police officers, EMS, and even volunteers and citizens lend a hand to help out those in need during this dark period in American history. Some helpers paid the ultimate price for their services and for that we are forever grateful for the lives that they touched.

If you lost someone on this day or know someone that did, my condolences go out to you; but don't let this be a day of sorrow. Moment of silence will be happening today at 8:46 AM along with other services during today's observances of 9/11.

We have come a long way from 12 years ago when this struck our Nation. Some never thought that we would be able to recover but we did. They thought that America was on the verge of dying, we're still alive. It may not all be peaches and cream here in the States financially at the moment but one day I believe we will figure things out and be even better as a Nation. Why?

Because of You.

You have the power to make the necessary changes to make America more badass, more awesome, more anything. The people that lost their lives don't want us to be rolling around in an XL puddle of grief and sadness; they want us to thrive, they want us to strive, they want us to live our lives to the fullest and give it our best every single day.

So take a moment of silence to remember those that lost their lives.
Then...get out there and enjoy your day.


Never Forget.

Time To Go Berzerk (On Tap 110)

Breathtaking Art by Mia here folks.
Allo Hello people of the Interwebs and welcome to a brand new week that starts right here, right now!

The weekend definitely took a toll on my body but I got a refresher spirit-wise as I spent some time hanging with my family outdoors as we cracked jokes, grilled good food, and Wobbled under the country sunset. 

Good times indeed.

As an extra bonus, the NFL returned my TV and I'm not ashamed to say that I spent about 6 hours in front of the TV watching grown men in pads hitting the crap out of each other. So yeah! A great weekend indeed!

And now Monday has appeared as I wake up from a long slumber. Most of us when we here that alarm are usually looking for the snooze button or just let out a loud sigh...stop it! Get your butt out of bed and clean yourself up! No seriously...that bed odor I can smell from here.

This week is a week to go full throttle. Take a look at your weekly objectives and aim towards to completing every single one of them. You know that the list might get bigger during the week but hey...no matter because you are a boss and you can accomplish anything. 

You got this week here.

Alright, enough typing. Time to hop in the shower, grab a bagel, and go berzerk!

Love Yo Face. Enjoy Your Monday.

110...!

So everybody, everybody...go berzerk!"

Lyrical Spiritual 12.

Today has come...to have another good time on a Friday!

Y'all having a good time out there?
The answer should be yeah times 3.
Due to it being Monday plus 4.
This equation should make your spirits soar.

For another wild Friday has appeared.
Hopefully for the greater good.
Ahh...that's blasphemous in that line.
Since this day is always party time.

I got the tunes cranked up,
And some friends tearing the floor up,
Along with a few drinks,
That should turn things up.

After an eventful four days, it's time for recovery.
Through the stressors and B.S. we've made it.
The odds put us as the under-dog,
Thinkin' just another victim.
Yet we raise our arms in total victory,
While celebrating like a V.I.P.

Enough of this rhymable chit-chat,
We just reached the finished line.
You've been through an ordeal this week.

Time to relax and prop your feet.
Cheers!

The Daily: Drop The B.S. (Not Your Bachelor's)

The-Undone-Man has shown your rage in picture form.

We all have experienced that initialed word that I mentioned in the fancy title up above. B.S. otherwise known as "bullshit" is unfortunately a common occurrence that we run into on this rock on the daily. Unfortunately, some days when we run into it when it's in top form and starts piling more and more crap on top to make others miserable. And while it rots our minds and demeanor, B.S. just sits there laughing it's ass off while giving you the finger because you have fallen victim to it's horrid game.

So what can you do? Simple.
Drop It.

When people don't like something in particular, they thrown it away. If something taste funky, they spit it out. If a certain location looks suspicious, they make a U-Turn. A person treats them unfairly? Cuts them loose. So why can't people do something similar to these actions when dealing with the crappy parts of their life story?

You run into a raging customer at the cashier, your B.F.F. has turned into an instant douche-bag, your jeans suffer a rip due to a trip and fall, bills, bills, and more bills, an argument arises between you and your spouse, family starts getting irritated with you and your actions, work is turning from a joy to and absolute nightmare, things just aren't going your way and seems like everything you do just goes South...

Seem familiar?

Things are not all rose pedals, pretty rainbows, and cotton candy unicorns in this life. Although a cotton candy unicorn does sound badass right about now...anywho, life does has it's rough patches here and there; Some people experience them more often than others. When things like that suddenly pop into your sanctuary, simply look at it and then drop it on it's head. What I mean is don't instantly blow up like a Nuclear Strike in Modern Warfare 2 when something goes wrong or your a victim of a bad circumstance.

Simply, take a step back (mentally, physically, or both!) and breathe. Look at the situation at hand and play out the possible outcomes of the situation in your head and pick your poison. Then once the conclusion and the credits roll after the matinee has shown, please exit the theater in a classy fashion. B.S. also has a lasting affect on people almost similar to a thriller or suspense flick and it may come out in spurts well after the event has passed. In this case, do something to get your mind off of it; read a book/magazine, work-out at the gym, rage on a video game, talk to a buddy, turn up the music and zone out, have a drink with the girls or guys...DO SOMETHING!

"You struggle with your demons and you conquer them."
-Kinky Friedman

Like I said, it's unfortunate that B.S. type situations do exist. However, that doesn't give you the right to turn into a bullshitter yourself because that just doesn't fit you. Instead of talking B.S., drop it. Your mind and sanity will thank you kindheartedly if not now but well on in your future. Take your future into your own hands and stomp a mud-hole into any form of B.S. that comes your way and keep on, keeping on.

Drop the Bullshit. You ain't got the time for that.
You Have A Life To Live.

Hump Day Already??

Now That is a Pretty Awesome Flower twinx85.
I don't know about you guys and gals but I'm feeling pretty refreshed at the current moment. Wait a minute...that's not how I usually open a new post to Moternative. Hold on...

Allo Hello people of the Interwebs!
Much Better...

After having a mini-vacation so to speak thanks to Labor Day and not being called into the offices (Lucky me right?) I'm quite surprised that when I rose up from sleeping and turned on my phone that it was Wednesday already.

Whoop! Whoop!
Who brought the talking camel into my bedroom?!?!

Anywho...I hope that everything on your aspect of life is currently going your way smoothly. In case you couldn't figure out, I'm feeling quite well mentally after a few days of relaxation. Physically a different story...plan on hitting the gym today to get everything back up and running haha. Alas, vacations can't last forever as duty calls but I'm still gonna enjoy jumping over a few humps that are trying to collide with my face.

I'm feeling good, feeling great.
Sending colorful vibes to you on this date.
