So the other night I completed my MBA program. I actually didn’t realize it was our last capstone meeting until someone was like “hey this is our last class ever!”. Shocked and appalled at my lack of realization and lack of alcohol to celebrate, I jumped to action. I found the one liquor store open until 10 in the city and found a bottle of champagne.
Now, I’m not one to enjoy getting dirty or muddy, but as I popped open that bubbly, for a moment I was transformed into the most luxurious rap video as the champagne flew all over me. My first ever champagne shower and I’m pretty sure it changed my life. I want to hit up the ATM and pull every cent from my accounts just to sleep on a bed of money. Baller status.
Seriously though, you are probably thinking how can improper opening of a champagne bottle equate to anything more than stupidity, right? Well friends, this is the thing… Sometimes life gets messy. But sometimes messy can be good. It can be unexpected, sticky, and crazy. When professional athletes celebrate a big win, when rappers have an awesome day, when rappers have any day really, they let the champagne flow. It’s expensive and delicious and they let it fly everywhere. Windows, walls, ceilings, clothes, hair, everywhere. Why? Because it’s liberating! It’s what you are not supposed to do and the end result is a sticky mess but it feels awesome because you know you are supposed to drink it and just let it rain all over indoors instead. Why not right? Day 35, let the champagne flow, and party like a rockstar to celebrate life’s awesome moments. Because some day you’ll look back and wish you had done more than just sipped some champagne alone at home.
