Each person in their life will be presented with the option of joining in with the FrogShway and placing their commitment before the great Creator and others and we know this is not something you take lightly, so we’re going to address a few matters of the Shway that distinguish us from other shways and most importantly from the Shwah.
Complaining and Whining :: As we know, people tend not to like this concept of pain; in fact a whole generation of people got knocked off onto the no pain, free love thing back in the sixties. We understand that you were brought up that way and some of you learned this love is free thing from your mommy and daddy, but guess what? Sometimes even moms and dads get jacked up on Mountain Dew. Does that mean they are not your mommy and daddy? NO! They are still worthy of high honor because without them you wouldn’t exist and we are certainly not disrespect-ors of the womb or reproduction.
Moms and Dads are the bomb, but everyone needs to know how to understand crack when it gets pushed to them and that’s why we’re big supporters of The Truth. Keep looking at the Truth and you’ll be able to understand the jacked up way and respond to it in the way a Ninja would a fatal blow from the dark side (or to be more sensitive the side that is not full of light). So when you’re temped to think, “wow, that really stinks” or “I shouldn’t have gotten better treatment,” remind yourself that not all things that look FrogShway are FrogShway. Only you can prevent FrogShwah and only you have the power to respond to FrogShwah is a correct manner, so cut out that wahhhh wahhh stuff and be the man and put on your big girl panties because wimp attitudes aren’t allowed in the FrogShway.
Disrespect and Rudeness :: As all people were created in the image of the majestic creator, we honor this as an example of who we actually are in the FrogShway. So, if you meet someone who got caught up in the rudeness of FrogShwah, think about turning this person around. What can you do or say that will let them know that FrogShway is really the true Shway? And should you be rude to show people how to do this? I say no, put on an attitude of the tadpole and, be the little man and ask the question “Is FrogShway not the better way?” All are deserving of honor and there is a way to fight the great FrogShwah and we will go into that later when we talk about the ‘Great Movement of the Shway’
Thinking for Yourself and Adultness :: Once upon a time long, long ago in a time where mommy and daddy took you to school and you got an allowance (or maybe not), you had to do what you were told and you weren’t making your own way in life. Now that you’ve got your big girl panties on, it’s time to be your own self and take responsibility for who you are and what thoughts come and go and what actions you choose to represent yourself. So, in this manner it’s right and good to ask questions and challenge the norms of life to get down to the essence because some by way of tradition and traditionalism have slipped off into meaningless lives of nothingness letting others say things like you can only have a good life if you work from 9-5 or more realistically from 6 AM-8 PM which we all know is no banana split.
So, since we know 9-5 is a big lie anyway and there is a much better Shway, think about how the great creator made you and start shaping your way in this manner. Are you a round orb fitted into a rhobmisoidal prism? Let’s get that straighten out…and know that this is not evilness I am speaking. You’re going to need a written plan and some realistic goals that you can be committed too, and when I say committed to I’m not talking about your commitment to have a good time. This is something your going to have to burn the ships like those who headed to the new world. There’s no turning back and failure is not an option only incremental steps to the true calling of the one who made you. Because this is not a journey for whimps (and if you’re still reading, we know that’s not true), you’re going to need to hang out with people who have your best interests in mind for you and the greater FrogShway. You’re going to need to commit to be around other FrogShwayers on a regular basis so that you can really get to know their essence and whole Shwayness. This might sound crazy to some of you who are in rock and roll bands and travel around like gypsy princesses going from one place to another and like just wandering through Wal-mart and Home Depot because it is big and interesting. But you have people in your circle that you see regularly and that you eat meals with. This is how it is in the FrogShway…and yes as ugly as the word is…it does require a big C commitment.
Commitments and Direction :: Well, we covered the big C pretty well, so lets talk about the big D and I’m not talking about Dallas, Divorce or Discovery Island. Let me just say there are a few of you still caught on Discovery Island that need to get in that paddle boat and row back to the mother ship because mom is calling you to come in and start out on your own journey. We’re not suggesting that you burn the mother ship when you go out on your voyage but we are going to cut the cord which means you’re going to need that plan we talked about. You’ve already got the skills to catch flies and build lily homes, so go out there and find Mrs. or Mr. Frog and get to building that dream into actual reality and not necessarily in that order. Mrs. Frog is going to want to see that you’ve figured things out and can take care of yourself because she’s not ready to be another momma frog at least not until well after the big dance (which we’ll talk about latter) which requires another level of the big C.
Addiction and Wandering :: From time to time you’re going to be temped to get into a game of Texas Hold’em or World of Warcraft or gardening or perhaps even raising a flock of chickens. While these are good things in themselves, there’s no need to enter the championship of poker in Las Vegas when you’ve got a Mrs. Frog or a team of customers whom you’ve made a commitment to. Let’s get out there and dance and follow that plan that you wrote down and follow it until you get to plant that flag on the moon; which the FrogShway is really about. How can you know that you’re caught in addiction or just plain wandering around? You’re going to need FrogShway glasses and perhaps the help of a friend who has the capacity to show some true FrogShway love.
- If you end the day and you’ve gotten nothing accomplished on your to-do list, you might be FrogShwah.
- If you’ve checked the statuses and all the pictures of everyone of your friends and made tons of comments, you might be FrogShwah.
- If you have no money and are looking for meaning in the Internet and perhaps got caught in some superclick idea you found on the snuggie site, you might be FrogShwah.
- If you threw a banana at a tree out of frustration or kissed a dolphin on vacation this are signs that you might be caught in heavy addiction and FrogShwah.
- If you took off all your clothes and danced naked in front of your adoring fans at a rock concert, it’s time to go in for treatment, you’re in heavy FrogShwah.
- If you’re yard is perfectly landscaped but you haven’t had friends over for dinner in two weeks, it’s time to turn to the FrogShay.
- If you’ve had 10 smoothies at your local Coffee House and haven’t hit the Silver Comet Trail or the Do Jo you’re FrogShwah.
- If you’re a creative writer or lyricist and haven’t contributed as a writer to one to compendium of posts at FrogShway.com you headed for doom and FrogShwah.
- If you won the Texas Hold’em tourney on Pluto and are now looking to the next universe for competition, you might be FrogShwah.
We could go on, but you have the idea now. If you’re reading this you’ve got a taste of where you left the pond, so hop back and hip hop is just fine because we’re down with that too and come to the FrogShway place of meeting where you can find rest and true meaning and people who want the best for you.

What does an arrow sound like when it pierces flesh?
I don’t know, what?
Squish. The point being, some of these points hit home with me. I used to always “do what I say and say what I do.” Then I lassooed a big ass cord around my waist and said, darn it, I’m gonna be an artist and figure out what I want to do with my life, and I’m gonna do it. Since then, the figuring has taken a few twists and turns, and I do at times disappoint myself in not “doing what I say and saying what I do.” I give myself some space on this, as this is an arduous journey I have chosen. But I need to settle, let gravity drag me into a groove, (COMMIT, even if it’s not a perfect solution), and be stable enough to grow and connect with the world in a dependable way.
By the way, I love this Frog image!!
Until you find and know yourself-You can’t lead others.
And, not all, – are meant to be leaders. It takes followers to make leaders. Each with their own purpose.
Interesting comment Casey. I’m curious what sparked that comment.
Hi Casey. I’d love to hear your perspective. Have you found yourself to be a leader? What type of groups?
Hopping! Much appreciated…this makes me wanna dance…
maybe/maybe not literally but it ignites in me the truth that my response to life is in my control! Choose this day whom you will follow… Choose this day the attitude, the direction, the course, the level of comittement to others…Choose this day where my mind’s focus is drawn to… It’s so much about choices in this life…
and dancing affirms so much of who we are…keep those choices SHWAY’n
