Week o' Love: Day 5

Love Sick

Words and music by Bob Dylan

I'm walking,
through streets that are dead
Walking,
walking with you in my head

My feet are so tired
My brain is so wired
And the clouds are weeping

Did I,
hear someone tell a lie
Did I,
hear someone's distant cry

I spoke like a child;
You destroyed me with a smile
while I was sleeping

I'm sick of love
But I'm in the thick of it
This kind of love
I'm so sick of it

I see,
I see lovers in the meadow
I see,
I see silhouettes in the window

I watch them 'til they're gone
and they leave me hangin' on
to a shadow

I'm sick of love
I hear the clock tick
this kind of love
I'm lovesick

Sometimes
the silence can be like thunder
Sometimes
I wanna take to the road and plunder

Could you ever be true?
I think of you and I wonder

I'm sick of love
I wish I'd never met you
I'm sick of love
I'm tryin' to forget you

Just don't know what to do
I'd give anything to be with you

Followed by another one of my favorites of his:

"Boots Of Spanish Leather"

Oh I'm sailin' away my own true love
I'm sailin' away in the morning
Is there something I can send you from across the sea
From the place that I'll be landing ?

No, there's nothin' you can send me, my own true love
There's nothin' I wish to be ownin'
Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled
From across that lonesome ocean.

Oh, but I just thought you might want something fine
Made of silver or of golden
Either from the mountains of Madrid
Or from the coast of Barcelona ?

Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night
And the diamonds from the deepest ocean
I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss
For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.

That I might be gone a long time
And it's only that I'm askin'
Is there something I can send you to remember me by
To make your time more easy passin' ?

Oh, how can, how can you ask me again
It only brings me sorrow
The same thing I want from you today
I would want again tomorrow.

I got a letter on a lonesome day
It was from her ship a-sailin'
Saying I don't know when I'll be comin' back again
It depends on how I'm a-feelin'.

Well, if you, my love, must think that-a-way
I'm sure your mind is roarmin'
I'm sure your thoughts are not with me
But with the country to where you're goin'.

So take heed, take heed of the western wind
Take heed of the stormy weather
And yes, there's something you can send back to me
Spanish boots of Spanish leather.

Rambo 4: Ashman Movie Review

Image
Rambo don't take no mess. **** 4 stars (Out of 5) Yes this is a positive review. When I saw the trailer, the interviews, and the fans reactions I would never have dreamed this film would be above 1 star. After several recommendations and discussions I was challenged to re-think this action monster. I am glad I did. In the era of over bloated and over important war films, Rambo runs a brisk 91 minutes and gets things done. Stallone knows how to deliver the goods in this brutal and timely action ride. What starts out as a solid exploration of the further reaches of a 5th world country turns into an all out orgy of violence that is eerily relevant and important to todays society. This might be the most (Dare I say it?) important action film since the first Rambo, aptly titled First Blood . This might be stretching it, but Rambo worth the ride nonetheless. It is strange to say, but if you are going to rent an action movie and are a fan of the genre, Rambo is the right movie

I take pictures of sunsets.

Image
I take a lot of pictures of sunsets actually. I post some on Instagram, but I don't want to bore my audience. So I thought I'd create a blog post for them. And to be honest, there are some pictures before the sun goes down and after. So I deviate from the sunset only premise. Here you go. A lot of sunsets. This series is from my usual perch in Griffith Park, Los Angeles. In the foreground is Century City, All the way on the horizon is the Pacific Ocean. After sunset, city lights brighten the hills and city. Venice Beach, Pacific Ocean You may ask, why do I take SO MANY pictures of sunsets? That is a fair question. My answer is for several reasons. Firstly, just for the beauty of it. I'm amazed how much beauty is around us every day if we just choose to look for it. Growing up in the Twin Cities of MN, my mother would take me on sunset walks down by the Mississippi River to watch the sun set over the river and cit

Colorado Backpacking Trip + Grand Canyon & Monument Valley

Image
Atop a 14,000 foot summit in the Weminuche Wilderness, San Jose National Forest, Colorado, USA.  These photos are of the road trip, camping a nd backpacking trip my uncle , my cousin and I went on, are untouched, and sometimes out of order (Thanks random Blogger upload!) Hope you enjoy. - A Our journey began in Arizona. Tuscon to be exact. This is hours into our drive, close to 4 corners. This is an abandoned hotel I would have loved to see: Asasazi Inn. First view of the Colorado Rockies. Blew me away, and just a hint of things to come. The pickup-dropoff point in Silverton, Colorado. Yes, that's an actual coal burning train that takes us into the trailhead. My environmentalist uncle was not thrilled to hear the word "Coal" outside of a campfire. First group selfie of the trip. (While we were still clean and didn't smell.) My uncle Gus, his son and my cousin Aidan. The three family related amigos.
