If you didnt get a free ticket you just didnt believe enough

Post by pizzamancer » Sun Oct 17, 2010 8:38 pm

Truly inspirational. I use this inspirational video as a tool to motivate overachievers who build cool art and art cars, and put so many hours into cool camps.

If you couldn't get it together this year, this video is for you.

My message is a simple one: Always believe in yourself, but be realistic; you are not that special or great.

Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious.

I dont think he said he was trying to break the board with his head.

If he was trying to break his head with the board: SUCCESS!

Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

I like the way that the majority of the choir gets up to go take a shit when he calls for the elders.

You can believe all you want...

You can pray all you want...

And sometimes the answer is No.

The answer to any prayer is ALWAYS either "Yes, No or Wait".
