Adventures in Kawanna-Land: The Miami Years: Day 193: 3/22/12

"Wish I looked a little more like Orlando Bloom

Wish I was DaVinci inventing in my room

A mind like Stephen Hawking

The love of the Nazarene

The presence of Morrison

Or James Dean

Of everyone I wish I could be

I’ve got to find my destiny

And I’m floating my own uncharted sea

Better get used to it

I’m stuck with me

I’d really like to leave the world a Franklin legacy

A Lancelot with skillful sword and chivalry

Conquer Alexander

With Gandhi’s stoic will

Lead like Martin Luther King or Churchill

Of all the things I wish I could be

I cannot change my true destiny

And I’m floating my own uncharted sea

Make the most of it

I’m stuck with me

We all have gifts unopened,

Are a hero in someone’s eyes,

The foundation to be depended upon,

A will as broad as the sky

Have the courage to match Magellan

Make a new discovery

I am the best at something

A thing alone I’m meant to be

Guess it’s fortunate

To be stuck with me

I’m who I must be (that’s alright)

Still I could be better (that’s alright)"

Stuck With Me: I heard this song today on Pandora and simply loved it! Had to do the full lyrics for this post since I couldn't pick just a few lines from this one. The rhythm was nice too. Might have to download this one from Amazon!

Tennis: Yay me! I almost took a set off of my tennis buddy today! I was down 4-1 and won the next 4 games! Then I held on to force a tie breaker. I lost the tie breaker 9-7 but was proud of myself for the way I played. I came to the net more and hit some nice volleys. I also took advantage of some short and high shots to hit some winners. Next goal - to actually win a set! But I will also say that the set took so long that we only played the one!

Chocolate & Peanut Butter Cupcakes: So I was at it again - making cupcakes for my friends in Houston (heading there tomorrow!). I made a chocolate and peanut butter cupcake with peanut butter buttercream (which is to die for!). I had enough peanut butter batter to make just a peanut butter cupcake and I almost threw the chocolate over in favor of these, they were so good! Peanut butter is one of those things, that when done right, can really satisfy your appetite!
