Yes, yes it is. I ran 10 miles (16 km) today<\/a>, no significance. Just felt like running, going to try and do a few more tomorrow, maybe a full half marathon. So while I was running, Energy Dome from Snapcase came on my walkman. Yes I use a Sony Walkman MP3 player. Let me share the song and lyrics and what I wrote on my personal page about all that.
\nYour freedom, your way of life, your wants and desires, they all extend from you. They are not granted to you by a location, a government, a military, a house of worship, or any other system other than your own freewill. You decide how free you are, regardless of whatever arbitrary set of rules is placed in front of us. “We hold these truths ti be self-evident…” that means even the founders understood, rights come from within, not from without. We’ve lost sight of that, that is why we fail. that is why we are not free.<\/p>\n

can you… feel your heartbeat, are you living?
\nyour mind is unsung because you’re not driven
\nyou need to rise up and personalize your existence
\nyou need to wake up and activate the dreams of your soul
\nidle, revolt, hero, your hero is yourself
\nthey’ll break you in, they’ll break you down
\nand leave you down with nothing you lose yourself
\nand learn from them whatever they wish to teach you
\nyou need to rise up and revolutionize your thinking
\nyou need to wake up and activate the dreams of your soul
\nidle, revolt, hero, your hero is yourself
\nyou know you’re dead and it’s you you are deceiving
\nyou need to find a way, to yourself,
\nfind a way, to make yourself live, to make yourself live
\nyou need to rise up and revolutionize your thinking
\nyou need to wake up and activate the dreams of your soul
\nyou need to find a way to make your self live
\n
