(I somehow lost my post in the middle of reviewing it--sorry if this ends up posted twice! Now let's see if I can remember what I wrote.)
I was talking with a friend about swimming and she said she started "swimming for life" x number of years ago. I got the sense that she meant that it was more than a good workout--it kept her "alive." I have to admit that it has that kind of effect for me, too. At the risk of sounding too new-agey, it's nourishing in more than a physical sense.
What does swimming mean to you? How does that compare to other sports or activities you do? How does that meaning influence your goals and performance?
like to write about the frustration of not being able to work out
the roads are frozen
my pool is closed
i''ve been a prisoner
in my own home
Haven't been to practice
haven't taken a stroke
It's going on four days
I'm about to lose hope
chorus
I'm tired of getting none
I've gotta get me some
I'm upset
cause I'm not gettin wet
I want better weather
get the mercury to rise
i'm feelin cabin fever
being cooped up inside
chorus repeats
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
here's a song I started when I was in New Orleans during christmas
believe in something
by Ande
it's important to have conviction
you need to know what you believe
if you don't stand for something
you might fall for anything
chorus
everybody should
believe in something
that's what we're all taught to think
it's not good
to believe in nothing
so I believe I'll have another drink
(i'm working on verse 2)
