Picture Yourself…leaving work. Walking down the escalator. Your music in your ears. Then you see some people start to run. You know what it means. There’s a bus about to leave!
I squint my eyes to see what number bus is leaving. Yep, it’s the 27. The one I want after a hard day of work. I take a couple steps down the escalator but then realize it is futile.
But something stirs in me. It’s the music. What’s the ONE SONG in the universe that can move a man to do more than he thinks he can?
Eye of the Tiger. Coming from my iPod magically.
I start to sprint. I run. I dodge people left and right with my goal in sight. Then the guitars come into the song.
DUHN. DUHN DUHN DUHN.
I make it to the bus. I DID IT!
I laugh at myself at the absurdity of it all, but in my mind I can only envision one person.
Paul Duffy doing pushups every time he hears this song. Whether it’s at a wedding, a dance, a funeral. He will do the pushups.
I never had respect for Paul Duffy. Until now.
