Practice What You Preach

I want to be the best Human Being that I can be, so I say this to myself everyday pretty much but it seems to never happen for me. Today, I realized why. And, its because I am not ACTING like the best Human Being I can be in my life. Saying and Doing are actually VERY different things. I can stop smoking and tell no one that I did that and be as healthy as an Ox. Yet, if I tell everyone that I'm gonna quit and smoke a half pack a day, well, then that aint SHIT. I'm done preaching about what I want out of Life. SO, I'm gonna just BE it and thats that. I promise next blog I'll have some really life changing stuff. Hopefully. I'll leave you with some poetry now to make up for the loss. Enjoy.

Swim

As a swung my arms and legs wildly

During swim class,

I realized I would make a horrible fish

I would be that fish

That leaves the school

And goes on the beach

Water tank placed snugly over my mouth

Bright blue beach chair in hand

Looking like my own piece of sky

As I would work on my tan

Waving at the people, fins swinging majestic

Laughing at their wondrous expressions

Sure in the fact they have never seen

A more unique fish

Than the newly discovered “Tanning Salmon”

This is not my real situation though,

I’m just a guy

Trying to learn how to fly underwater

Swinging my arms like twin engine planes

Trying to dream of fishes

And learn their little secrets

So I can hold my breath better

And maybe I can learn to not need sleep

I will live my dreams

Instead of wait for them

This is what it takes

To learn to swim

You must let go all those things

That weigh you down

And just float above

To breath.
