Day (442) – The Loser Wins
…to my students…some inspiration for you…
The day you realize that you are really the only one who can determine and create your personal value is a very important day. Too often I have allowed myself to crumble because of the lack of character of others. This is a monumental realization for me for a few reasons. The first is that I have come to realize that “Expectation is the root of all heartache.” William Shakespeare was a pretty smart man I would venture to say. I believe fully that instead of living a life where you have incredibly high expectations for those around you (sometimes unachievable ones) and living a life where you are constantly disappointed – you should go a different route.

90’s Day!
Springsteen released “Human Touch” in ’92, his 9th studio album and on the same day, co-released “Lucky Town” his 10th album… I’d say that was pretty risky…it turns out that “HT” was the more popular of the two peaking at #2 on the Billboard 200…
Today is a very exciting day! It’s ’90s day!!
It’s an entire day of postings dedicated to arguably the greatest decade of music EVER!!
EVER! Not even exaggerating!!
For real dude.
So… yeah. 90’s day!
