Hey Mike,

I absolutely loved this. I love the metaphor here too.

"I'm gonna soak up the sun, I'm gonna tell everyone, To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that) I've got no one to blame, For every time I feel lame, I'm looking up, I'm gonna soak up the sun, I'm gonna soak up the sun, I'm gonna soak up the sun, While it's still free, I'm gonna soak up the sun, Before it goes out on me" ~Sheryl Crow
