“To all my little Hulkamaniacs, don’t forget to train, say your prayers, take your vitamins and you will never go wrong.” -Hulk Hogan
Church, school, and sports…don’t draw attention to yourself(?).
Set goals, work hard, achieve…what went wrong?

“I’m here to chew bubblegum and kick a**, and I’m all out of bubblegum.”
A second chance at “greatness”http://...but still not “great”

Older and more aware. What is my why?
My unprayed prayer and my why.
