The Daily: Is You Happy?


Nothing says Allo Hello like a big purple smile from an emoji right?!?

Get out there and find your happiness today for tomorrow is never a guarantee that you will have the chance to keep on searching; also have some fun while doing it!

Wishing you all an awesome Thursday.

"Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or mindless self-indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values."
-Ayn Rand

Humping In Los Santos.

Awesome Art From Patrick Brown! Even more awesome is the actual game! 
What is this...outside???
Umm...about that...

Allo Hello people of the interwebs! I have somehow able to force myself to turn off my Xbox and the awesomeness that is GTA V to say hello! hi! and salutations! to all of you on Hump DaY!

Whoop! Whoop!

Hope that all is well today for you guys and gals! Feeling a little under the weather when my alarm just happen to wake me up to start a new day...I blame a significant amount of sleep lost due to some midnight release called GTA V which could have possibly taken over my life the last few days.

And In A Good Way.
So Much Fun!

For those gamer type bros and chicks like myself that felt sad when they had to power down their console of choice due to the unfortunate circumstances such as clocking in for their work shift, grabbing their bookbag as they head to class, or any other responsibilities that needed their attention and efforts...trust me I feel your pain.

But Hey! It's still gonna be an awesome day because once you get all the stuff that you need to get accomplished out of your way, the more time you have to wander around Los Santos playing tennis, running a triathlon, strolling around the pier, or causing all sorts of mayhem on the streets.

Uh oh...gotta go!
Here's The Trio Rio!

Rise, A New Day Has Begun. (On Tap 111)

Quite an electric view Miguel-Santos.

Allo Hello people of the interwebs and rejoice for it is Monday!

(Crickets Chirping)
Well...Don't Get All Excited At Once.

Alas, Monday has risen from the early morning sunrise and awaits your next move. Did you enjoy your weekend? I sure did! Took a trip up to D.C. with the misses to watch one of our favorite D.C. United players, Jaime Moreno (number 99!), get inducted into the Hall of The Tradition at RFK Stadium. Along with enjoying a few brews at the tailgate and screaming and chanting very loudly with the Screaming Eagles in the stands...was a very fun day in the Nation's Capital.

And D.C. Untied didn't lose! VAMOS! 

You. Are. Blessed.
But Yeah! A very entertaining weekend that I enjoyed over the last few days. Feeling a little reluctant to roll over and reach for the alarm clock this morning...no lie haha. Aye, I'm up and blessed to see another sunrise in the city. Even though things aren't perfect and just the way I want my life to be, I Am Blessed. 

And So Are You.

If you don't believe me, then take a look at the pictorial image that just so happens to be right next to this section of text and look at how blessed you really are.

I'm thankful for each day that I'm able to open my eyes, move my limbs, take a breathe without the need assistance, able to walk under my own power, driving in a car that I like and able to afford financially, act stupid with people that I call friends and family, give my mom a hug.

I could go on and on and on...I truly am blessed. 

And So Are You.


So get out of that bed, hop in the shower and lather, rinse, repeat and let's make Monday that more awesome. No matter what you go through, no matter what turmoil comes your way, and no matter what obstacles stand in your way...

You. Are. Blessed.
Enjoy Your Monday. Love Yo Face.

111...!

Lyrical Spiritual 13 (Irony!)

AljoschaThielen with the awesome skyline!

I know I be.
Living with no regrets.
Studying to ace these tests.
Putting in that extra work.
While listening to Berzerk.

Fist-Pumping like a 3 time champ.
What? This music got me amp.
Lately life is in smoother waters.
The speed has diminished.
Yet the incline is still deep.
As I keep moving towards the finish.

I know I'm trippin'
It's not you, it's me.
But listen anyways.
You made it once again.
Well...you're closer to the finish.
Just a few more steps forward.
Then you can celebrate.

So where you goin' to celebrate?
The water hole with a few Buds.
Dancing with girls in the clubs.
Resting in the bed after a long week.
Or out the area for a vacational tweak.

Whatever the gameplan is,
Hope things turn up to 11.
Now where's my glass?
I got a cheers to pass.

Cheers to us making it.
Through another weekly gauntlet.
The odds were shattered again.
As an interesting man once said,

Stay thirsty my friends.
Cheers!

The Daily: Why Stress Why??

Hmm...Sirius may be on to something with this texture.
"OMG I AM SO STRESSED RIGHT NOW!"
"MY BOSS IS DOUCHEBAG!"
"WHY ISN'T THIS !@& WORKING?!?!"
"DAMN YOU MOM AND DAD! LEAVE ME ALONE!"

"REALLY?!? MAKING DECISIONS WITHOUT MY INPUT? GREAT..."

Any of these rather loud quotes remind yourself of you at one point in time?

Ladies and gentlemen a lovely Allo Hello to you all on a rather sunny, warm, and sugarcoated Thursday for myself due to an XL chocolate muffin that was ggaaaaahhhhh....deliciousoso! As I brush off the crumbs off my face, let's discuss a little something about stress because I know some of you are going through a little something something right about now.

There is nothing wrong with becoming irate over a certain circumstance, event, person, or thing that does something to affect you in a negative way. We have all been there...all of a sudden a wild stressor appears out of nowhere and uses its bine attack that is super effective of turning your anger levels over 9000.

Fret not, those dark moments of time can suck but it's not the end of the world.

In order for you as a person to get over that massive blister that is making your life more annoying and stressful than it should be you must do the following:

Eliminate It.
Take Action To Better Yourself.
Move On.

You can do 1 of the 3, a combination of the 3, or just all of the above. One thing that I do when I get to stressful levels is that I take out that rage on myself. (Whaa?) And by that I mean I workout which takes all that negative energy I have and turn it into fuel, fire, and all that which I desire.

OOOOHHH!!
(Bonus Points If You Got That Reference)

And what better way of turning that negative blip into a muscle that can help you power through once another wild stressor decides to try and ruin your day huh? Anywho...people wake up! You're gonna be okay! Look at the stressor that entered your life and kick its ass. Don't stress about it, ain't nobody got time for that. 

Stress was in your past, stress is in your present, stress is coming in your future.
How you handle it and live with it is entirely up to you.

Take that negativity and modify it into something positive. Do It. 

"In times of great stress or adversity, it's always best to keep busy, to plow your anger and your energy into something positive."
