Cause All We Got Is Rhythym and Timin'...

You know its a good day when:
* you jump into the truck, late as usual, and hear "Mr. BOOMBASTIC..." blast out of the speakers.
* your Dr. doesn't prescribe medication but a specific diet and a much later appointment to check with you
* you get to dance to The Fratellis and you wonder why people don't have dancing time- like they do naps
* you name all four of your new fish (Captain Morgan- the one that looks like he's sporting a mustache, Pancho- the lone orange fish and he eats the most, The Cisco Kid- or Cisco for short, the baby of the bunch, and Ziggy- the ones who seems to have swimming problems, I wasn't sure if he would make the night- but he did!)
* you get to see slideshows of other peoples travels- I love me some slideshows
* you resolve to travel- no matter how long you have to save
* when you hear First in Flight by Gift of Gab (lyrics for your inspirational pleasure are below)
First in Flight- Gift of Gab
(Cause all we got is rhythm and timin'
We go beyond the edge of the sky)
FREE! Like a bird out in the wind in the night
Like a 747 to LA that's in flight
FREE! Like a garden flourishing in the wind
Like a student bout to do it when he's graduatin
FREE! From any of the energy perception
Can never be defined create the definition within
FREE! Just lovin life itself and never pretend to be
Anything other than the man I was meant to be
Travel through time and get a glimpse of the centuries
To come a better day is promised remember
FREE! Like my nephew in a few months about to be out the penitentiary
Meditation [repeated 9X]
UH! I never hesitate about a reluctant mind
Just put the peddle to the metal see what ya find
You back there slouchin over won't you pick up your spine?
Let's make it really really happen live up this time
Cause you can choose to say "Good morning God" or "Good God, morning"
With black clouds storming
I walk without umbrellas into these woods
Don't need em cause the mighty trees will shelter me good
I'm eating berries from the bushes of the heavenly good
From the ?stakes/steaks? the power came to us whenever we stood
Reverberatin out we're reachin each and every hood
Whenever we could the spiritual anatomy fool
But never take the credit for it B cause that'd be rude
It's just the way in life we searchin for that had to be new
You gotta work it though cause everyday ain't Saturday fool
Evolve into a better life and be happy with you and me
[Gil Scott-Heron]
The first to fly
The first to strive
The first to fight to stay alive
The first to win
The first to strike
The first to live
The first in flight
RISE! Like the sun up at the crack of the dawn
Like a wakin child in the morning stretchin and yawnin
RISE! Like an infant being held in the light
Like the smoke from an incense when it's ignited
RISE! If you're sleepin won't you open your eyes again
The greatest high be that natural high within
No need to force the progression just ride the wind
You'll know the answer to the where and why and when
If you keep workin for your search you will find the end
Though at the end you find it only begins again
See at the end you'll see it only begins again
And everything you learn you're only rememberin
Cause you're
It's me
Let your mind and your soul be free
Work to shine meet your goal believe
Spread that kind of L-O-V-E
Take some time off the lonely
Cause all we got is rhythm and timin'
We go beyond the edge of the sky
