You say across the pond and I'm thinking England - which would more than account for the pasty skin! Ha! South Haven, huh? Haven't been there in a while (actually, last time we were in Holland). We prefer the UP, eh?
Yes, I've seen that scene. LOL. The only thing is that my boy only knows a few of the lyrics, so he was just repeating those when we asked him to give us a rendition.
A couple of months and you're gonna be there - great attitude Rix! Best of luck.
I'll leave you with the intro to 'Til I Collapse'; appropo motivation:
Sometimes you just feel tired, feel weak
When you feel weak, you feel like you just wanna just give up
But you gotta search within you, try and find that inner strength
And just pull that shit out of you, and get that motivation not to give up
And not be a quitter no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face.
