He's Baaack - My Spirit

Got knocked on my rear But gained understanding Oh yeah, I'm still here Oh YEAH, I'm still standing God made me survive His hard-knockin' school Hey world, I'm ALIVE And I'm comin' for YOU So glad I got in So what if I suffer? What don't do me in Just makes me tougher... "What does not kill me, makes me stronger" - Friedrich Nietzsche

Hey, Tim, so what did you do that was different from everybody else? That is my dilemma with this contest for Shadow. I just can't think of that one perfect example of my being a rebel. Anyway, I do like the way you played off the theme of this contest. btw, you never answered my soupmail!!!

Hi Tim, I agree with Carrie about this being good advice. I did have some smiles reading it, especially the "school of hard knocks" reference. Seems that the longer we live, the tougher our skin. Best wishes in the contest!
