Lose Yourself Part One
[27 Nov 2008 | 2 Comments | ] Akbar Lightning

Akbar Lightning is going to strike, but he has a belly and poor cardio strength.

His dreams of dancing were dashed after two minutes of recording hisself.

now he is beginning training.  Globatron commanded that he share this embarassing tale.

I hate exercise, i hate pushing, the silly non-necessity of it, and yet i still dream of having a perfect tiger-like body.

but now for the sake of art, for the sake of purely expressing what God has told me I am capable and therefore called to do, i must train.

and oh, how i complain, but in 3 weeks of daily jogging i can do it, i can build my respiratory strength to a place where I can maintain intense connection with the music, for 5 minutes.  any sign of lagging, this will damage the purity of light, the energy, the snap, crackle, pop that the world has come to expect of Akbar.

Fuck.

While Mark Creegan sings with a pencil in his mouth, while he does that, and i celebrate him, i honor the laughter that is still available to me when thinking of it.  i also, in response, set myself to the challenge of dancing with a lightning rod up my ass!

There are heroes and there are zeroes, and heroes go all in.  so sayeth Akbar, so commandeth Globatron.

p.s. - we will soon be starting a war, more to come.
