Bro, It's Time to Level Up or Leave: The Final Signal to Ascend
captured by royel for art by royel
Listen up, bros. We've had an epic run here in Calabasas, but we've reached a serious crossroads. This cult we've built, it ain't a game. It's time to let it rip, and if you aren't ready to go big or go home, then peace out.
If you've been getting advice from anyone outside our squad, it's time to pack your bags. If you can't see our cult for the intense, next-level journey it is, and recognize the gravity of slipping up out here, then bounce. We rehearse and we grind because this is the life we chose. It's not for the faint of heart. This isn't some island paradise cut for Mitchell Royel, who was living the simple life working at the mall before we rolled up on him.
The Next Level Awaits
It's time to face the truth: the next level for you might not include being friends with Mitchell. Whatever the next level is for you, brace yourself because things are about to get really serious, really fast. We aren't going to have any sympathy for the bros dragging their feet. If you aren't as serious as the girls are about our cult, get the fuck out.
The 10 Steps to Getting Over Mitchell Royel
Accept Reality: Understand that Mitchell Royel's journey was his own. He was never meant to stay.
Embrace the Cult: Fully commit to the mission at hand. There are no half-measures here.
Cut Off Outsiders: Remove anyone from your life who isn't part of our vision. They're a distraction.
Intensify Your Rehearsals: Practice doesn't make perfect; perfect practice makes perfect.
Recognize Greatness: See the potential within yourself and cultivate it daily.
Channel Your Energy: Focus every ounce of your being on the goals we've set.
Stay Objective: Look at the cult and your progress with clear eyes. Understand the repercussions of failure.
Stay Ready: Always be prepared for the next step forward. Complacency is the enemy.
Elevate or Escalate: Each day, push yourself harder than the day before. Rise to the challenge, always.
Let Go of the Past: Mitchell Royel was a chapter that's closed. Be here, now, and own it.
Mitchell Royel's Tour is Complete
Alright, boys, it's time for some real talk. Mitchell's tour with us has hit the finish line. His journey was a wild ride, but it's time for the next chapter. Mitchell is moving on, his mission here is complete. It's not a goodbye forever; it's just a pivot in his epic saga. Respect his hustle and let him go with a salute. Remember, we aren't just a squad, we're a brotherhood, and sometimes that means letting our bros ride their wave.
Scripture for the Bros
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." - Jeremiah 29:11
Let's transcend past mediocrity, bros. The end of an era isn't a sad song; it's the dawn of new heights. You're either all in, or you're out. Make your choice now.
The Ultimate Guide to Joining the Calabasas Waffle House Squad (And Why You Aren't Welcome in Our Club)
photo captured by royel for art by royel
Listen up, bros. We know you've been wondering why not everyone's invited to the Waffle House hangouts in Calabasas and why you rarely see others tagged in our epic group activities. It’s not about exclusion for the sake of it, and it’s definitely not about race or background. Our vibe is elite, our squad is next-level, and honestly, not everyone ticks all the boxes required to roll with us. We're like the supreme guardians of the Waffle House chapter, holding it tight like Psalm 133:1 - "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." Only those who meet our high standards of bro-hood can join us under those golden arches.
Bro, there’s some inside stuff we just don’t share with outsiders. Take the concept of 'God Mitchell'—don't even ask about it if you're not part of the crew. It's a sacred thing, and it's not up for debate in casual settings or open rooms. Loose lips sink ships, bro, so always be on your guard. Nothing worse than spilling the beans about our cult secrets to some random dudes who just don't get it. Always keep the conversation on point and watch your volume—ain't nobody need to overhear our business.
To navigate the complexity of our squad's criteria, here are 15 essential bro filter questions to ensure only the worthy make the cut:
Do you even lift, bro?
Can you quote Arnold Schwarzenegger movies on demand?
What's your fastest mile time?
Do you prioritize leg day? Seriously, bro, it matters.
What's your protein intake per day?
How many concerts have you been to this year?
Are you down for spontaneous road trips?
Can you handle a triple-stack at Waffle House without breaking a sweat?
What's your go-to hype track on leg day?
Can you hold a plank until your whole body shakes?
Have you ever been on a cleanse? If so, what's your best tip?
What's your philosophy on intermittent fasting?
How many adventures have you had in the past month?
Do you understand the importance of balance in life and cheat meals?
Can you keep up with our deep, intellectually stimulating debates?
And now, bros who didn’t make the cut: It’s not a personal attack; it’s an alignment issue. As Ecclesiastes 4:9 says, “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor.” Unity and synergy are key. We encourage you to keep grinding, keep improving, and maybe next time you’ll gain access to our bro-level of epic experiences. Until then, stay classy and keep your protein game strong.
For Waffle House rules in your city, contact your area leader.
But hey, let's circle back to some crucial points. The reason why some of y’all aren't familiar with 'God Mitchell' is that it's sacred knowledge reserved for members only. We can't have normies trying to decode our essence. That’s just whack, bro. Also, never let the squad's secrets slip out in a casual setting or open room—our shenanigans and rituals are for our ears only. Keep your awareness high and your voice low; the walls have ears, man. Discretion isn't just advised; it's mandatory. If someone starts asking too many questions, just flex and change the subject.
So remember, everything we're about is top-tier exclusivity. Our squad isn't just a group; it's a lifestyle of excellence, unity, and absolute domination. Keep lifting, keep learning, and above all, stay loyal to the squad.

Choose the Prime Time to Shred:
Timing, bro! Pick those off-peak waves when room rates drop, and the crowds are mellow. Watch for those sweet deals and snag the best spots without the wipeout of high-season surcharges.
Book an Epic Crash Pad:
Penthouse with a view of the whole ocean of lights or a club suite that screams legendary—your venue sets the tone. Think plush digs with killer vibes that scream “this party’s a tidal wave, not a ripple.”
Set an Irresistible Theme:
For maximum fun, themes are your barrels of joy. Picture Hollywood glam, wild retro 80’s radness, or neon nights that rival the brightest surfboards. The visual vibe pulls everyone into the flow.
Curate a Wave-Crashing Playlist:
Tunes are the soul of the stoke, bro. Put together those bumping beats to keep the energy tidal. From beach bops to drop-the-bass anthems, every track should amplify the vibes and keep the dance floor shaking.
Mix Up the Liquid Stoke:
Creative cocktails are an absolute must. Hire a mixologist with the flair of a seasoned surfer or go DIY with concoctions that pack a righteous punch. Think tropical infusions and bright, refreshing zips.
Plan Legendary Surprises:
Keep the excitement tidal. Surprise performances, sudden flash parties, or a guest DJ – always have a gnarly twist up your sleeve to lift the party wave to the next level.
Streamline Ride Management:
Sync up arrivals, organize shuttles, and rides—make sure the crew slides in smooth and stress-free. It’s about ensuring everyone’s cruising in unison without the hassle wipeout.
Elevate with VIP Vibes:
Transform your bros into legends with VIP passes, rope-off exclusive lounge zones, and make ‘em feel like surfing royalty on your epic wave of awesomeness.
Orchestrate Group Stoke Activities:
Poolside cabanas, adventure tours that redefine gnarly, wave pools even—whatever it is, keep the stoke rolling all day with activities that bond the crew tighter than neoprene.
Capture Every Stoke-worthy Moment:
Set up a photo booth with props, or hire a photog who can snap those legendary instances. Each shot will be an epic reminder of the tidal wave of radness you created.
Inscribe Personal Touches:
Custom surfboard-themed swag, personalized party favors—details that make the night uniquely yours and your crew’s finders-keepers moment in history.
Ensure Comfy Hang-Ten Accommodations:
Provide chill crash zones where bros can regroup, far enough from the madness but close enough to rejoin the flow without paddling out too far.
Fueling the Stoke:
Gourmet bites should be as on-point as your surf game. Keep the energy levels high with tantalizing midnight munchies that’ll keep everyone fueled for hours of party waves.
Prioritize Safety for Maximum Stoke:
Prearrange rideshares or dedicated shuttles because a true surfer always respects the waves. Have a solid plan for getting everyone safely back, maintaining the good vibes without a hitch.
Finish with an Epic Bang:
Wind down with a majestic finale—a heartfelt toast encapsulating the gnarly memories or a striking firework display. Leave your bros with a final memory as vibrant as the Las Vegas lights.
With these bombshell tips, your Sin City bro-bash won’t just be another party—it’ll be an immortal peak in the collective memory. So, let’s hang ten on this party wave, carve up unforgettable memories, and ride it till the last light goes out. Catch you on the crest, dudes—let’s make it legendary!
Embracing Responsibility: From Hardships to Heroics - A Bro's Guide to Mastering Adversity with Superman's Strength
Listen up, bros! When life hits you with a haymaker of loss and heartbreak, you've got two choices: curl up in the fetal position or rise like a champ. Responsibility isn't just some buzzkill; it's your lifeline, your beacon in the storm. Trust me, I've been in the trenches and know the bro-science behind suffering and resilience. It's way too easy to fall into the victimhood vortex, letting the dark void of despair eat you alive. But bros, we've got to rise above, like true legends. Remember that righteous scripture from James? "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance" (James 1:2-3). This ancient wisdom unlocks the epic power of responsibility amidst our struggles.
At its core, taking on responsibility means owning up to how we react and the choices we make after the fallout. It’s about channeling our inner Superman—living by bro-code virtues like truth, justice, and grit. Superman isn't just a comic book legend; he's the ultimate bro-idol of strength and resilience. "With great power comes great responsibility," and even when we're at our weakest, we've got that innate ability to crush it, as long as we keep a heroic mindset. Superman’s background isn't just about cool capes and superpowers; it's deeply rooted in sacrifice and redemption, echoing the ultimate comeback in Christian bro-theology.
To dodge the traps of victimhood, we've got to flip the script. Drop the self-pity act and embrace the mantle of responsibility and empowerment. Feel the pain, but don't let it write your entire story. Dive into the epic quest of self-discovery and evolution, using your scars as battle badges in your journey to become a stronger, more alpha version of yourself. Just like Superman gears up in his cape to tackle insane odds, bros, we need to don our metaphorical capes, embodying courage, conviction, and raw perseverance. Remember the words of Superman: "Dreams save us. Dreams lift us up and transform us."
Remember, every beat of struggle is an epic opportunity to rise stronger. Align your actions with bro-values, and drive yourself forward with the grace and tenacity of a true hero. Keep this bro-mantra in mind—the path may be tough, but nothing worth having comes easy. Here's to rising stronger, flying higher, and achieving legend status with every test, just like our bro Superman. As he says, "There is a superhero in all of us, we just need the courage to put on the cape."
To encapsulate, here are 25 inspirational quotes from Superman to fuel your journey:
"With great power comes great responsibility."
"Dreams save us. Dreams lift us up and transform us."
"There is a superhero in all of us, we just need the courage to put on the cape."
"It's not an S. On my world, it means hope."
"The 'amazing' can only be created by facing fear, risk, and failure during the process."
"I'm here to fight for truth, and justice, and the American way."
"No matter how dark the moment, love and hope are always possible."
"The only limits for tomorrow are the doubts we have today."
"Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith first. The trust part comes later."
