Link (That’s me.)

Even someone who describes himself as perpetually happy and optimistic can get a little under the weather sometimes . . . comparatively. Spider bites on your hand are such a downer . . .

Alright, the picture doesn’t do it justice, but the pink spot is the bite and it’s really red and puffy in real life. You’d feel bad if you saw it in person.

Anywho, I’m just astounded how every once in a while just the right song can set you right. Well, this one did it for me today.

Just a nice reminder of how terribly important it is to always surround yourself with good music. Just be careful what you listen to, watch, say, participate in. It can have such a profound impact on who you are and who you’ll become.

“Follow Through” by Gavin Degraw

Oh, this is the start of something good
Don’t you agree?
I, haven’t felt like this in so many moons
You know what I mean
And we can build through this destruction
As we are standing on our feet

So, since you wanna be with me
You’ll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
you to stick around
I’ll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through

These reeling emotions they just keep me alive
They keep me in tune
Oh, look what I‘m holding here in my fire
This is for you
Am I too obvious to preach it
You’re so hypnotic on my heart

So, since you wanna be with me
You’ll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
you to stick around
I’ll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through

Oh, this is the start of something good
Don’t you agree?

The stripped version is particularly good, in my opinion.
