STOMP!

Get on uppa! Get to movin! Get to Shakin! It's Thursday! Stomp all over the negatives! Rise above it all and rock the funk out today. One day closer to the weekend!

Today is a great day to put on some killer music and just move to the rhythm. There are plenty of ways to turn a rough day around. One of my favorites is music. I dont have a specific genre, band, or style. Just music in general. As long as I am feelin what I am listening to, I can't go wrong. Sometimes that mean Slipknot gets played, other times it is Modestep. I have even been known to drop some Frank Sinatra. Music doesnt have boundaries. It is beautiful and if you can feel deep down in your soul, you will have a fantastic day.

My music of choice today? Obviously it will be Funk!

Remember: Feeling The Stomp Will Cause A Hazard To Your Booty! A hazard because you will be moving and shaking it! Dont Be Afraid to Let Loose!

GET AFTER IT! CONQUER TODAY! YOU GOT THIS!

Own Today and Ride The Train.

Seriously. Own today like no one has ever done it before. No Buts. DO IT. I am not going in to detail today on why should do this. Just Effing Do It.

I am still riding a high from a great weekend. Yes that is going on 3 days ago. But hot damn, shit is getting real around here. You cant stop this rock n roll pain train of optimism and happiness. You can sure as shit try, but I am going full steam ahead. Throw some more coal on the fire. We are riding this train all the way in to next week.

I challenge you to ride out the week aboard this train. Hop on up. Find your target. Seize the day. Make Today Your Bitch.

Make That Pie Your Bitch...

It's Monday. A rainy and cloudy Monday. But, it is a great Monday. I'm still vertical. Air is still cascading in and out of my lungs. Today will be another great day.

We are one week in to this adventure of ours. I say "ours" because it is not just me deciding to flip the switch, but you the reader as well. Your positive words encourage me and I hope that I am doing the same for you.

If you are going to tackle a Monday, you need to do so with an open mind. For everyone else, today is not a good day but a trying one.

Remember something, you may be trying to Conquer Today, but the rest of the world may be viewing it as another Monday in which they would rather be in bed whining about it being Monday. Not you though. You are reading this because you are turning the world upside down. You are making a decisive proclamation that no longer will Monday's suck. Check out the picture below. Today is rainy and dreary as balls, but this congregation of pedals has made it beautiful.

This Beauty was waiting outside for me this morning. How great is that?
This rose is fucking beautiful. Life is beautiful.

This is what I have been talking about here, finding one little thing to build off of. That is all it takes.

 Take today like you would a whole entire pie. Enjoy it. Conquer it. Make it your bitch.

All Kinds of Hyped Up....

You read that title correctly. I'm bouncing off the walls. It could be the energy drink pushing me. It could be the fact that tomorrow is Friday. Maybe it is the fact that our 11 month old slept through the night last night. No matter what it is, it has me going full speed ahead. I am conquering the shit out of today.

What amps you up and gets you going? It is that fresh cup of coffee in the morning? Brisk jog through the morning mist? Tell me.

I've started thinking, maybe I should add a song to every post. Give it a little music to go along with the level of excellence that I am feeling. Thoughts? Doesn't matter, I do what I want. Beauty of this lil blog, I'm in charge.

And if James Brown doesn't get you moving, 

you may be in a coma. 

You are once again directed to Conquer today. Make today your little bitch as you strive for glory. Make today your day. 

Starting off on the right foot

Since I started these daily posts 2 weeks ago, I am yet to have a bad day. While I have had moments of pure frustration or sadness, I have been able to focus on the positives of each day. That in itself can be a battle, but a necessary one. It has allowed me to be a far happier person which is true blessing in itself.

Today's positive? Funk. No, I'm not in a funk. I listened to some funk on my way to work. If funk music doesn't get you moving then I don't know what will. I was dancing like a fool on my way in to work. I have no shame. Happy to admit it. Today can only improve!

Make today your bitch. Avoid the bad funk and roll on with the good funk....

Just A Few Seeds Of Thought

If you are a dreamer, come in.

If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,

a hope-er, a pray-er a magic bean buyer...

If you are a pretender, come sit buy my fire,

For we have some flax-golden tales to spin,

Come in,

Come in!

Top O The Morning to ya. It is another great day here. Last night  the clouds opened up and decided to rain down upon the lands. You know what? I enjoyed every drop of it. The smell of fresh rain is intoxicating. It made me smile from ear to ear. I cracked the bedroom window and just let the smooth sounds of the rain trickle me off to dreamland. What a way to fall asleep! 

This morning, I checked on my garden before leaving for work. Pea-pods everywhere. The pepper plants are flowering. Zucchinis are growing. And the aphids that attacked my artichoke are finally dissipating. Life my friends. It is all around us. Constantly changing. You must realize how amazing this is. I know you are thinking, "hey weirdo, they are just plants." I ask you, are they? It's all apart of this big entertaining game that we call life. It is amazing. Cherish every little bit of it. 

Today will be another great day. You will make it through. Just as the seeds of my garden pushed their way through the dirt and rocks in my yard. Be the rose that grew from concrete and shine on today. 

Once again I'm not one of well wishes. When I say have a great day, I mean it. Achieve it.

You Got This! Conquer Today. Make It Your Bitch

This is the child of a single comment. Maybe it was in jest, maybe not. Nevertheless here we sit. We are on the precipice of glory. The road to greats days and sunshine... Maybe I am putting too much in to this for a Monday;

 "You Got This" was an idea formed on Monday, so no better day to throw down the gauntlets. Will my grammar be perfect, nope, but I'll try. I'll give it that old "3am on the day a term paper is due college effort." Will anyone read this? Not sure. Will today's post make any sense? Probably not, it will be a winding web in to my thoughts... that will get organized in time. Moving along...

Now, am I the poster child for optimism? Hardly. I'm just trying to make headway, trying to see the brighter side of life for lack of a better phrase. Cliche as it may be, I want to find that small ray of sunshine in every day. I have my cloudy days but if I dwell on the dark, I find that my whole outlook on the day is effected. People sometimes become annoyed with my calm and relaxed nature, the way I take everything on and roll with it. Life is too short to dwell on the darkness. 

Mondays. Dreary Mondays. The start of a new work week. So why dread them? It is a new week, a new chance at something exciting. I know that technically Sunday is the start of the week, but people tend to view Monday as their start. After a nice relaxing, or busy, weekend, Monday is where you start slowly trudging through your week. NO MORE. Embrace Mondays as a chance to achieve something great or as a reason to smile. I think bad days are more about attitude than anything. We can change how Mondays are perceived. 

There is always something to smile about. Never forget this. Days may be hard and difficult at times, hell weeks can be difficult to get through. Sometimes an action, as small as a smile can make the world of difference in someone's day. Or even a friendly hello can do the job. Have a friend going through some tough times, take them out for coffee or bring them lunch. Sit down and talk to them, maybe that is all that they need. It is amazing the difference that a conversation can have on someone's outlook. Keep your head up when walking about, you never know what you are missing by staring at that concrete.

Make today great. Find a reason to smile. This isn't a request. It is a demand (I do that, if you plan to read this, get used to it). 

Listen up and Listen carefully.... errr. Read carefully... no that doesn't make sense...Write this down on your cubicle wall... Carve it in to your desk....  Let the following sink in....

YOU GOT THIS! 

CONQUER TODAY! 

MAKE IT YOUR BITCH!
