song of the year

thought: i think i found my song of the year!

Christmas has come and gone.

The new year was brought in.

And now, I learn today that 5% of this year is already over.

Crazy.

"crazy" is actually a good word to describe the year thus far. i have been up and i have been down. i have spent hours laughing and hours crying. i have seen a bright future and i have seen a dismal one.

so what does all of that have to do with my song of the year? and how can i be so sure i have found it so soon? usually, my song of the year hits me in July...this year, i found it on January 16th. i heard it on 3 different radio stations in about 3 hours. it was nuts. i mean, every time i hear this song i get pumped. i laugh. i sing. i dance. it's fun...

..and totally cheesy. it's one of those songs that people hear the first line and then belt out the next line.

yes, i'm talking about the 1981 hit "Don't Stop Believin'"!

...i can almost hear the laughter and feel the judgement of people reading this now. i think it's kind of funny, actually.

if you look at the anthem of the song, it talks about pushing on. and with the start my 2011 has had, that is exactly what i am going to do. i'm not going to stop believing. i'm not going to lose heart. not going to lose faith.

besides, it really is fun to dance to.

  1. That is a great song of the year if there ever was one. I hope you enjoy belting out that extremely long "night" all during 2011:)
