I Wear A New Cologne


Merely talking about change is inadequate, insufficient, and even at times worthless. That's why I have a hard time getting into politics. When's the last time a politician followed through on a promise? I need you to tell me the truth. I'd rather you tell me the truth and hurt me, than lie to me and let me find out another way.

Don't tell me you'll change if you plan on settling for the way things are. If you say you're changing your smell, start wearing a new cologne. Walk down the path of what you don't know. And now I walk...
Don't be afraid of change, embrace it. Don't walk away from the uncomfortable, access it. There's a big world out there with endless possibility and potential. The core of our spirit is fueled by the things we've never tried. What greater joy than to experience a new passion, a new sunset, a new horizon?

All the blogging has been leading up to this: the biggest change of all. It's time I wear a new cologne.

"I'm a new man
I wear a new cologne
And you wouldn't know me if your eyes were closed
I know what you'll say
This won't last longer than the rest of the day
Baby you're wrong this time
You're wrong."
