If your job is “Couch Comfort Tester” or you are taking some deserved down time and kicking back with some couch co-op gaming or quality family time movie then you are doing “Something”. :grinning:

Never heard of this guy. Know of David Goggins and Jocko Willink.


Take my hand and come with me,
I want to teach you about ADHD.
I need you to know, I want to explain,
I have a very different brain.
Sights, sounds and thoughts collide.
What to do first? I can’t decide.
Please understand I’m not to blame,
I just can’t process things the same.

Take my hand and walk with me,
Let me show you about ADHD.
I try to behave, I want to be good,
But I sometimes forget to do as I should.
Walk with me and wear my shoes,
You’ll see its not the way I’d choose.
I do know what I’m supposed to do,
But my brain is slow getting the message through.

Take my hand and talk with me,
I want to tell you about ADHD.
I rarely think before I talk,
I often run when I should walk.
It’s hard to get my school work done,
My thoughts are outside having fun.
I never know just where to start,
I think with my feelings and see with my heart.

Take my hand and stand by me,
I need you to know about ADHD.
It’s hard to explain but I want you to know,
I can’t help letting my feelings show.
Sometimes I’m angry, jealous, or sad.
I feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and mad.
I can’t concentrate and I lose all my stuff.
I try really hard but it’s never enough.

Take my hand and learn with me,
We need to know more about ADHD.
I worry a lot about getting things wrong,
Everything I do takes twice as long.
Every day is exhausting for me…
Looking through the fog of ADHD.
I’m often so misunderstood,
I would change in a heartbeat if I could.

Take my hand and listen to me,
I want to share a secret about ADHD.
I want you to know there is more to me.
I’m not defined by it, you see.
I’m sensitive, kind and lots of fun.
I’m blamed for things I haven’t done.
I’m the loyalist friend you’ll ever know,
I just need a chance to let it show.

Take my hand and look at me,
Just forget about the ADHD.
I have real feelings just like you.
The love in my heart is just as true.
I may have a brain that can never rest,
But please understand I’m trying my best.
I want you to know, I need you to see,
I’m more than the label, I am still me!!!

Yeah, if you don’t like me, that’s your problem
When I let it bother me, that’s my problem
And I’ve got enough problems, I got enough
I got the sauce, you got the salt
What I care what you think about me
'Cause I don’t think about you at all
Real ones, they don’t talk about you, they talk to you
When they can’t miss, yeah that’s when they take a shot at you
When they throw stones, then you know they don’t rock with you
Don’t you ever let 'em know they talk down to you
I’m 'bout my business
(My)
Father, my family, my hitters
(You’ve)
Never paid my bills, so
Why pay attention?

That’s none of my business
(What they think ‘bout me)
That’s none of my business
(What they sayin’ ‘bout)
That’s none of my
(That’s none of my business)
That’s none of my
(That’s none of my business)
That’s none of my
We don’t really care what you talkin’ ‘bout
That’s none of my business
(What they sayin’ 'bout me, yeah)
That’s none of my business
(What they think ‘bout me, yeah)
That’s none of my
(That’s none of my business)
That’s none of my
(That’s none of my business)
That’s none of my
We don’t really care what you talkin’ 'bout
That’s none of my business

Yeah, if you don’t like me, that’s your problem (hey)
When I let it bother me, that’s my problem (aye)
And I’ve got enough problems, look, I got enough
Why everybody wanna take one up?
You ain’t prayed for me, you ain’t take one up
When they don’t know the story they just make one up, aye
Gossip, stop it, why you want to talk to me about it?
Go tell he or she about it, that’s none of my business, leave me out Instead of subtweeting about it, don’t FB just be about it
You acting like a F Boyardee, if it weren’t for God
I’d destroy your teeth
I got anger issues
Watch for the people that’s hanging with you
Bad company be corrupting the good character
You supposed to own a company
Instead you just sitting on your derriere
In a pair of your boxers playing Warfare on your XBOX
You work at a pet shop, still couldn’t feed your terrier
And on top, what’s scarier is
How you’ve been engaged for ten years
And still haven’t married her (err)
My bad, I got sidetracked, look at me getting hypocrite, huh
How I criticize them when I got my own thing to be fixing?

That’s none of my business
(What they think ‘bout me)
That’s none of my business
(What they sayin’ ‘bout)
That’s none of my
(That’s not of my business)
That’s none of my
(That’s not of my business)
That’s none of my
We don’t really care what you talkin’ ‘bout
That’s none of my business
(What they sayin’ 'bout me, yeah)
That’s none of my business
(What they think ‘bout me, yeah)
That’s none of my
(That’s none of my business)
That’s none of my
(That’s not of my business)
That’s none of my
We don’t really care what you talkin’ 'bout

Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.

Y’know, since getting back into drawing and sketching I am seeing things differently again and it’s kinda refreshing. Not only that, but I also spend less time gaming, and to me, I am enjoying the change.
