Do the colors of the rainbow look the same to everyone?

the clouds are beautiful again today.

look up.

ps - lani, how much did 24 last night remind you of our movie? giggles...

ps - josh, the deaf-mute thing is the oldest scam in the world, my kind-hearted, wonderful friend.

i am not the only cowboy - josh joplin group:

And it starts like this: we crave to be kissed
by a moment complete in its happiness
Far away from the things we wish to escape
that lead us to think we are not awake
We are ourselves despite ourselves
this place gets smaller as the universe swells
We come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually.

I am not the only cowboy in this one horse metaphor
And I am not the only life guard who's washed up on the shore

Wake me up, take me out
Calm me down when I'm in doubt
And I'm in doubt
Everyday

And words are like weight with density
and shape modifying forms as they evaporate
You can choose the truth, you can listen to light
you can lead the charge and still lose the fight
Far be it for me to claim anything
for I am just one in a state of being
I come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually

I am not the only proverb that never really fits
And I am not the only Caulfield catching more than kids

And so it ends as it begins
as everything that is infinite ascends
Into its time all things pass
all things fade
all things last
You are yourself despite yourself
this world gets smaller as the universe swells
We come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually

I am not the only boxer that hasn't words to write
And I am not the only poet who's much too scared to fight

I am not the only cowboy in this one horse metaphor
