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!

134...!

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!
