JUMP

JUMP by Van Halen was definitely the No. 1 song on the charts March 7, 1984 (go ahead and do the math, i'm a kid).

I get up, and nothing gets me down.
You got it tough. I’ve seen the toughest around.
And I know, baby, just how you feel.
You’ve got to roll with the punches to get to what’s real
Oh can’t you see me standing here,
I’ve got my back against the record machine
I ain’t the worst that you’ve seen.
Oh can’t you see what I mean ?
Might as well jump. jump !Might as well jump.
Go ahead, jump. jump !Go ahead, jump.
Aaa-ohh hey you ! how said that ?
Baby how you been ?
You say you don’t know, you won’t know
Until we begin.
Well can’t you see me standing here,
I’ve got my back against the record machine
I ain’t the worst that you’ve seen.
Oh can’t you see what I mean ?
Might as well jump. jump !Go ahead, jump.
Might as well jump. jump !Go ahead, jump.

Anyway, none of that matters I just thought it was interesting.

I wonder why we create formulas for "success"? Really, all we're doing is setting ourselves up for disappointment since formulas are nothing more than false hopes. If you ate exactly the way your nutritionist told you to and performed all the exercises your personal trainer instructed you to do, you still might have a small pudge. If there were a secret, or formula if you will, to being skinny then there would be no need for the gym anymore. If all those get rich quick schemes truly work, then why is poverty still rampant? But scariest of all, I'm afraid we've tried to force salvation into a formula. Walk the aisle, say "the prayer" (or let your pastor say it for you) , and you're saved -- going to heaven! It's about more than that though. It's about going on a journey with the Creator. Ugh, so i'm frustrated and don't feel like finishing this.

goodnight friends.
