Naps are tricky because you either wake up refreshed and relaxed or you have a headache, dry throat, and are unaware of what year you’re in.
so accurate i’m speechless (luckily not textless)

Dear Ethan,
I was going to send you a GIF party to encourage you after your terrible day, but then I thought: what would Ethan like even more than a GIF party? And the only answer I could come up with was a GIF party set to the lyrics of a classic rock song.
(Note: I do not actually know if this is considered a classic rock song. Maybe you and Mark should take some time to debate that next time you need a conversation topic.)
Anyway, here is the link to the song to play while you are reading this: http://yt.cl.nr/btPJPFnesV4

Risin’ up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance
Now I’m back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
(Chorus/Dance Break)
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin’ tough, stayin’ hungry
They stack the odds
Still we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive
(Chorus/Dance Break 2)
Risin’ up straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance
Now I’m not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
It’s the eye of the tiger
It’s the thrill of the fight
Risin’ up to the challenge
Of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watching us all with the
Eye of the tiger!
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye…of the tiger!
