Could it be I stayed away too long?

Hey Folks! I'm still here.. alive and kicking.

Ahem.. I am forced make a special shout out to kgreen who introduced me to a very cool, yet addictive web treat. Seriously, if you are a music lover or even a music liker you will quickly become addicted to this site. But please, finish reading my entry before you skip over there... its been a while since you've heard from me. :-)

So anyway, don't let this part of my writings dissuade you, but while fooling around on the aforementioned site I couldn't get my ultimate favorite song to play.
"Hold On" by Wilson Philips.
I absolutely love this song! It is truly the best song ever written. Every hero needs a theme song. "Hold on" is mine. I play it before I go to the gym... I play it in my mind to talk me out of a tasty starbucks grande caramel latte.. I play it in my mind every morning before I start working... If I were Popeye that "Hold on" would be my spinach. If I were Superman.. "Hold on" would be red kryptonyte... If I were a big mac.. yes you got it.. "Hold on" would be that very special sauce.. you get the picture.
Actually don't really sing it that often, I was more than mildly exaggerating there. I truly only sing/listen to it maybe a few times a year. But I think I might be more motivated and productive if I did incorporate it into my daily ritual. I'll get back to you on that.. I'll let you know how it goes.
Okay enough about me.. not really.. but I'm sure you are ready to check out the site.. here it is.. enjoy.. let me know what you think!
For those of you not familiar with "Hold on" by Wilson Philips.. SHAME ON YOU... here are the lyrics so you can get your "slamming, classic, hits from the early 90s merit badge"...
I know there's pain
Why do lock yourself up in these chains?
No one can change your life except for you
Don't ever let anyone step all over you
Just open your heart and your mind
Is it really fair to feel this way inside?
Chorus:
Some day somebody's gonna make you want to
Turn around and say goodbye
Until then baby are you going to let them
Hold you down and make you cry
Don't you know?
Don't you know things can change
Things'll go your way
If you hold on for one more day
Can you hold on for one more day
Things'll go your way
Hold on for one more day
You could sustain
Or are you comfortable with the pain?
You've got no one to blame for your unhappiness
You got yourself into your own mess
Lettin' your worries pass you by
Don't you think it's worth your time
To change your mind?
(Chorus)
I know that there is pain
But you hold on for one more day and Break free the chains
Yeah I know that there is pain
But you hold on for one more day and you
Break free, break from the chains
Some day somebody's gonna make you want to
Turn around and say goodbye
Until then baby are you going to let them
Hold you down and make you cry
Don't you know?
Don't you know things can change
Things'll go your way
If you hold on for one more day yeah
If you hold on
Don't you know things can change
Things'll go your wayIf you hold on for one more day,
If you hold on
Can you hold on
Hold on baby
Won't you tell me now
Hold on for one more day 'Cause
It's gonna go your way
Don't you know things can change
Things'll go your way
If you hold on for one more day
Can't you change it this time
Make up your mind
Hold on
Hold on
Baby hold on
