sunsets

I love sunsets. I've had two really awesome sunsets this summer. The first was in Idaho, in the Sawtooth wilderness area. Caleb took it on my camera as we were driving from red fish lake back to our camp. The second was out on Lake mead while boating with my cousins
These are my two favorite pictures of the sunsets.

i was thinking about sunsets the other day, and in a way they are kind of sad things. they mark the end of something, time passed that you can never go back to. i find myself wishing more and more often that i could go back in time and redo things. but time just keeps slipping past, every day a sunset symbolizing the fading of that day.

i guess i'm just grateful that the death of every day could be memorialized in such a beautiful way.

burn

i have a new favorite song, i got it on a mix cd from someone that i'm still thinking about, so lonesome without, and can't get out of my mind. 

Burn- Ray LaMontagne
Oh mama don't walk away
I'm a goddam sore loser
I ain't too proud to stay
But I'm still thinking 'bout you
And I'm so lonesome without you
And I can't get you out of my mind

Oh mama don't leave me alone
with my soul sat down so tight it's like a stone cold tomb
Ain't it clear when I'm near you
I'm just dying to hear you
Calling my name one more time

Oh so don't pay no mind
To my watering eyes
Must be something in the air
That I'm breathing
Yes'n I try to ignore
All this blood on the floor
It's just this heart on my sleeve that's a bleeding
Oh mama don't walk away
You leave me here bereaving from the words so hard and plain
Saying the love that we had
was just selfish and sad
To see you now with him
is just making me mad
Oh so kiss him again
just to prove to me that you can
an I will stand here
and burn in my skin
Yes I will stand here
and burn in my skin


yeah caleb, i'm gonna miss you more than i'm letting you know.
