ROCK

So I've been kicking around the last few weeks, just doing that sortof floaty thing where you're basically taking part in life, but not really - really life is just happening to you. So that's where I was - until - I turned on Greg Behrendt on Comedy Central tonight. In case you don't know Greg Behrendt, the short version of his resume is: he wrote the book "He's Just Not That Into You," was a writing consultant on "Sex and the City," and writes for "Cosmo" magazine.

Anyway, to get to the point, this is what Greg said that knocked me out of my "floating" - he said that on a daily basis, on a DAILY BASIS, you need to rock. And not just rock, you need to ROCK. Why? Because why not? Life is too short NOT to rock. And what's more, don't keep the rockin-ness to yourself, rock isn't a precious metal that we have to dig out of the ground, nor is it a commodity that's going up in price; nope, rock is not a zero sum game. In fact, when everyone rocks, the rockin is that much better. So share the rock.

And I'll tell you one more thing. There are a few people that are going to agree with me and Greg on this one. Henry Rollins would agree, Ozzy Osbourne would agree, Twisted Sister would certainly agree, AC/DC would agree 30 times over, even Jimi is agreeing from way up in the rockin party in the sky. Too young for all those guys? Well, I can tell you that System of a Down is going to agree here too and so is Linkin Park, and like him or not Marlyn Manson is rockin day in and day out as are those rocktastic chaps in Tool. Across the musical lines, Onyx has rocked with Biohazard and I don't think it would be crazy to think they're still rocking today. Snoop Dogg rocked hard with Rage Against the Machine, and Dr. Dre has been known to rock all over the damn place. Even Jay-Z rocked hard when he paired up with Linkin Park.

So if you're reading this and realizing that you aren't and/or haven't been rocking, if you don't wake up in the morning rock on your way to work, rock at work, rock after work and are hardly able to stop rocking long enough to pass out and get the rest needed to get back up the next day and rock harder than the day before, well, it's never to late to start.

ROCK ON
