QUOTE OF THE NOW

"Our life evokes our character. You find out more about yourself as you go on. That's why it's good to be able to put yourself in situations that will evoke your higher nature rather than your lower. 'Lead us not into temptation.'" Joseph Campbell

No stopping me since I found my inner ninja!

Below is my latest favorite song--I think you guys'll like it too. It's a pick-me-upper.

In other news, I'm a little congested but today I really felt my energy back. Good thing, cause we're still pretty short staffed and I need my brain cells to be firing on all neurons.

In other other news, I've been trying out an audio book (from the library) while driving and I'm really enjoying it. I chose Rules of Civility, which I'd been resisting buying. Love the cover.


Here's the song: Inner Ninja

I've had bad habits but I dropped em
I've had opponents but I knocked them out
I climbed the highest mountains
I swum the coldest seas
There ain't a thing I've faced that's been too much for me 





Ninja? You're a ninja? Get out of here, you're a ninja! Yes, I am a ninja.

I read the rules before I broke 'em
I broke the chains before they choked me out
Now I pay close attention
Really learn the code
I learned to read the map before I hit the road

Hey yo, I know you never heard this before
But I'd rather lose a fight than miss the war
And I ain't wishing competition or fishin' for it
I'm just living in the system, conditions are poor
I've been lost in the rhythm and misinformed
Too many late nights hittin' the liquor store
Too many bad decisions, half assed attempts
No sweat, no fear, no blood, no tears
I go hard and I ain't makin' up no excuse
I'm overdue, I don't do what I'm supposed to do
Cause you can think about it man, we're supposed to lose
It ain't all picture perfect, ocean views
No, I was a first class rookie,
Takin' out bullies in my all black hoodie
Man of mystery, you know the history
Get it or forget it, cause poof, I'm outta here

I read the rules before I broke 'em
I broke the chains before they choked me out
And I pay close attention
Really learn the code
I learned to read the map before I hit the road

Nobody's gonna see me comin'
Nobody's gonna hear a sound
No matter how hard they tryin'
No stoppin' me since I've found
My inner ninja [x4]

Hey yo, I've been high and I've been real low
I've been beaten and broken but I healed though
So many ups and downs, roughed up & clowned
We all got problems, but we deal though
I'm tryin' to do better now, find my inner peace
Learn my art form, and find my energy
When my backs on the wall, I don't freeze up
Nah, I find my inner strength and I re-up
Here we go, I know I've never been the smartest or wisest
But I realize what it takes
Never dwell in the dark cause the sun always rises
But gotta make it to the next day
It's a feeling that you get in your lungs when you run
Like you're runnin' outta air and your breath won't come
And you (uh) wheezin', gotta keep it movin'
Find that extra (uhn) and push your way through it

I've had bad habits but I dropped em
I've had opponents but I knocked them out
I climbed the highest mountains
I swum the coldest seas
There ain't a thing I've faced that's been too much for me

Nobody's gonna see me comin'
Nobody's gonna hear a sound
No matter how hard they tryin'
Nobody's gonna bring me down

Nobody's gonna see me comin'
Nobody's gonna hear a sound
No matter how hard they tryin'
No stoppin' me since I've found
My inner ninja [x4]

I've had bad habits but I dropped em
I've had opponents but I knocked them out
I climbed the highest mountains
I Swum the coldest seas
There ain't a thing I've faced thats been too much for me

Alas I am not meant to hear your favorite song. The uploader has not made it available in my country. Damned uploader.
Glad you got your energy back.

Bad, BAD uploader.

Thank you for including the lyrics for us. I went in search of the melody [and a video] and found this at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fDuNuFNG38
I'm hoping it will work for others of us barred by those fascistic uploader people from enjoying the video. Actually, it may be the same one, just a different link. So there, uploader thugs.
