I, like Mel, am often inspired by song lyrics. I have filled up a few tablets with song lyrics of my own that still need the music to be added. In any event, I often love songs based soley on their lyrics.

When I work out, I am often listening to heavier music with angry lyrics. For some reason, this makes me feel really good when I'm in pain. I can often zone out and forget what is going on around me and focus in on the song as opposed to the pain I am inflicting on my body. This has become especially important with my training for this crazy race.

Though I have many favorites, I often find myself switching back to this song on my ipod during my run workouts. I can relate to it. (Plus, I love the Foo Fighters). This song reminds me of people you meet throughout life that can be considered as the ultimate suckages of positive energy - the bad karma producers of the world. I've run into a few. Luckily, I've rid myself of that negativity - it gets pounded out with every mile I run, with every lap I swim, with every mile I ride, and with every day that passes.

I love the line of the song that says "You're everything you're everything I'm not" - It reminds me that I am not this way (negative - energy sucking - bad karma producing). It reminds me that I am better than all of that and I am proud to be who I am. I feel good everyday that I don't have a nobody telling me I'm annoying, too fat, have frizzy hair, am not good enough etc. etc - reflections of himself.

Who's laughing now?
Anyways, enough from me - here it is:

Have It All (Foo Fighters - One by One Album)
You're my size I need to try you on
Someone in between the right and wrong
Through everything you kept your wings apart
Through everything you stayed the same old art
And when I've had enough


She drains me
When I'm empty
She fills herself
She takes it all
In too deep
She's spilling over me
In too deep
She's spilling over me
Don't wanna hear

Winding through this maze you hold me in
Searching all these days to find the end
You're everything, you're everything I'm not
I'm anything I'm anyone you want
And when I've had enough

She drains me
When I'm empty
She fills herself
She takes it all
In too deep
She's spilling over me
In too deep
She's spilling over me
Go on and have it all

Have it all, Have it all

You're everything you're everything I'm not
I'm anything I'm anyone you want

She drains me
When I'm empty
She fills herself
She takes it all
In too deep
She's spilling over me
In too deep
She's spilling over me
In too deep
She's spilling over me
In too deep
She's spilling over me

Have it all
