| Dream Big |
[Apr. 12th, 2009|11:53 pm] |
If there were ever a time to dare,
To make a difference
To embark on something worth doing
It is now.
Not for any grand cause, necessarily –
But for something that tugs at your heart
Something that is worth your aspiration
Something that is your dream.
You owe it to yourself
To make your days count.
Have fun. Dig deep. Stretch.
Dream big.
Know, though,
That things worth doing
Seldom come easy,
There will be times when you want to
Turn around
Pack it up and call it quits
Those times tell you
That you are pushing yourself
And that you are not afraid to learn by trying.
Persist.
Because with an idea,
Determination and the right tools,
You can do great things.
Let your instincts, your intellect
And let your heart guide you.
Trust.
Believe in the incredible power
Of the human mind
Of doing something that makes a difference
Of working hard
Of laughing and hoping
Of lasting friends
Of all the things that will cross your path
Next year
The start of something new
Brings the hope of something great.
Anything is possible
There is only one you
And you will pass this way but once.
Do it right.

alright, so voting begins monday!
Prize values are as follows: Second Bracket Winners - $50 Cold Stone Creamery gift card Third Bracket Winners - $250 music download gift card Grand Prize Runner-Up Winner - $4,000 value pack (cellular, computer and/or travel related) Grand Prize Winner - $30,000 value pack (automotive, cellular, computer and/or travel related) - awesommmme. hahah
well here's the instructions:
1. As often as you can, go to any Cold Stone store with a copy of my Creation recipe in hand (my recipe can be found on the imixamerica.com Web site).
2. Tell the Cold Stone crew member that you want to make an iMix America purchase and give them my Creation recipe (however it is permissible to make a purchase that isn't my recipe and still credit the purchase to me). =]
3. Make sure that you get a receipt for your purchase that includes a vote code sticker.
4. As soon as possible after your purchase, go to www.imixamerica.com to record your vote for me (voting instructions will be on the site).
5. Ask as many of your friends as possible to do the same thing.
so basically, buy as much coldstone in the coming weeks and vote for me! it's called the 'Bananarama cheesecake'. i don't know if it's any good because i didn't go into the store and make it. so yeaaah.
