Ally McBeal had a theme song. I used to also. It was Shine by Rollins Band.
If I'd listened everything that they said to me, I wouldn't be here!
And if I took the time to bleed from all the tiny little arrows shot my way, I wouldn't be here!
The ones who don't do anything are always the ones who try to put you down.
And you could spend your entire life walking around in the nowhere land of self doubt
'Coz when you start to doubt yourself the real world will eat you alive!
It's time, it's time. It's time to align your body with your mind.
It's hero time.
It's time, it's time. It's time to align your body with your mind.
It's hero time.
'Coz when you start to doubt yourself the real world will eat you alive!
...and you know it's true!
I'm talking to you: hero time starts right now! Hey! Hero time, yeah,
time to shine, hey, hero time!
If you think you've got 100 years to mess around--you're wrong!
This time is real, your time is now... it's hero time!
Yeah, hero time, hey, time to shine, yeah, hero time, yeah!
Hard times are getting harder, the liars are acting strong.
You better get a grip on yourself or you won't be around too long.
It's hero time, hey, time to shine, yeah.
Hero time, yeah, hero time, yeah!
It's hero time. It's hero time. Time to shine, shine, shine, shine, shine!
Oh yeah! (X3)
No such thing as spare time. No such thing as free time.
No such thing as down time. All you've got is life time... GO!
'Coz it's hero time, 'coz it's time to shine.
'Coz it's time to go, go, go! yeah, hey!
When you're gone, you're so gone. (X2)
You've got it now, it's time to go.
Hero time starts right now! Yeah, uh-huh..! ...Change it!
I've got grace in times of friction. I got truth in times of fiction.
I've got no time for the hype... Suicide!? I'm not that type...
I've got no time for drug addiction, no time for smoke and booze.
Too strong for a shortened life span, I've got no time to lose!
It's time to shine, yeah, it's hero time, yeah, it's hero time, yeah,
yeah!
When you start to doubt yourself the real world will eat you alive!
Yeah!
You could spend your entire life walking around, coward.
Or you can get up!
Get up, get up, get up, get up! It's time to shine! Yeah...
I am reclaiming my theme song. I am focused, on-track, and playing it daily...

This reminds me of that lyrics blog you had.
Ashamedly, I remember that episode where Ally had trouble with her theme song but I don't think ... hmm.
I was gonna say something but I can't remember, and I don't think it was all that important. What is important, however, is this blog. It's pretty damned interesting to see someone go from what they were to what they are. 5 years sober. Full time student. Smarts. Business minded. Politically and socially aware. But the most important thing I see is someone that recognizes she's more than the sum of her parts.
I'm a security guard, but I know I'm much more than that. I'm more than my job title, more than the mistakes I've made in the past. I remember one of the first comments you left me was about the average interest rate for owner financing. I remember thinking "What the hell does she know?" I started reading back to your much earlier posts and it's nice to see someone that's more than what she is expected to be. I hope you weren't kidding in your last post when you talked about wanting someone who is "worth it". Because you seem to be hitting on all cylinders now, so you truly can't settle for anything less than what you're worth. (Besides, writing that you found someone that you're settling for might get a organic ketchup bottle thrown at your head.) Good stuff, Trix...
"This reminds me of that lyrics blog you had." -- I still have it. It's just hidden. ;) Here's the link: http://trixieracer-lyrics.blogspot.com/
"It's pretty damned interesting to see someone go from what they were to what they are." -- It's also interesting to see how I got involved in the Adult world when I was sober with a 6-figure job and plans to go to law school. Oh wait, I've already covered that in a different post.. LOL.. I have no regrets, though. Life is a collection of experiences and my detour provided many that money can't buy.
"Besides, writing that you found someone that you're settling for might get a organic ketchup bottle thrown at your head." -- *giggle* It would have to be organic or the thrower wouldn't be close enough to hit the target.. :)
