It may be sunny, but you're still shady.


Summer time and the living is easy. 
We drink we smoke we lay.
 Not a care in the world, not a cloud in the sky.
 Summer romance or a summer affair. 
Close your eyes listen to the music. 
You may be bad but so am I.
 Reach for the stars, baby let's fly. 
To the moon and back.
 Until we land in the sand. 
I'll look away, every time you grab my hand.
 Keep away baby just run. 
Lapse in judgment, but no shortage of fun. 
It's summer when cares are gone. 
And it may be sunny, but you're still shady.

Summertime Sadness






We got that summertime sadness
 Laying on the beach beside me
 Our shades cover ours eyes 
So the rest of the dwellers can't see
Sun-kissed skin, cheeks red from the rays 
Don't know when we'll meet again
 You know I'll miss your ways 
Stoned and stressed
 Sand beneath my toes 
Here's to you kid, the BEST
 We stood the test of time 
Hand in hand 
I want to stay in the ocean forever 
Don't even try and drag me 
I can't stand the land

We Struggle. We Succeed.

For those of you who have struggled, may you know success. 
We have been to the depths, the darkness, but we deserve the light.
I see it now. I know it now, and I'm driven.
Willing to do whatever it takes to succeed, sacrificing anything I need to.
Hungrier than ever to taste it. 
Devoting 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to be the best.
Millionaires know it, I want to know it.
So I'm going to study, I'm going to write, I'm going to be great.
Feel greatness within and chase it.
Chase who you are meant to be.
The person you are meant to become.
The most creative visionaries in the world are devoted.
Devoted to the craft, devoted to being great.
Tom Ford works 24 hours a day, "I never stop working."
Eat, breathe, dream it. Most of all believe it to be true.
I have struggled.
I will succeed.
So today I say goodbye to my past way living, if you want to call it that, "living."
Goodbye to wanting it without action. 
Of dreaming it, but only when I'm sleeping.
Suit up and show up.
Eric Thomas the Hip Hop preacher says it best, "No days off, no half days, no cheat days, no holidays."
Goodbye to partying, to sleeping in, to weekends, to "fitting in."
Marc Jacobs became sober because it  was " affecting my creative process."
Give up everything for your craft, and apologize to no one. 
When I get to New York I will be ready.
Ready to struggle, to feel pain, to want to give up, to fight.
When I start to struggle I'll know I'm getting closer.
Closer to Success.

"When I get on my yacht, or my private jet than I'll party. I'll step on my jet and I'll be drunk. Intoxicated with success." - Eric Thomas
