You are off to great places! You are off and away!
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.
You'll look up and down streets.
Look 'em over with care.
And some you will say, "I don't choose to go there."
With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you're too smart to go down any not so good street. And you may not find any you'll want to go down. In that case, of course, you'll head straight out of town.
Out there things can happen and frequently do to people as brainy and footsy as you. ...On you will go though the weather be foul. On you will go though your enemies prowl. On you will go though the Hakken-Kraks howl. Onward up many a frightening creek, though your arms may get sore and your sneakers may leak.
And will you succeed? Yes indeed!

Wow, i feel like my birthday has written me a motivational message from the future.
Unfortunately it is motivating me to quit my job and move to Prague to study music, which I'm not particularily inclined to do right now.
:)
Study Music! Awesome! Whenever you want to go tell me and I'll come too so I can listen to you. For real. Speaking of listening, is your CD out yet?
