Transparent Seas

I was eating at taco del mar when this song came on; I actually forgot what the song is called, but it is by Jack Johnson and starts:

Your shadow walks faster than you.

What Jack talks about in the song is about a person who is lost by some reason, and is wandering through slowly.

I did not hear the whole song at that time but have heard it many times as it is in my mp3 player. But what impressed me this time is that while paying attention to the lyrics, Jack keep using these things that are inherently apart of you, your shadow, your reflection, to that you have lost yourself. Those things can't actually change but he uses thing imagery to convince yourself so.

He writes great lyrics, which has been lost on me since the melodies he creates are so relaxing.

At taco del mar I had a wet mondo burrito, that is a mondo burrito covered with enchilada sauce and cheese. I have never had it before, it was pretty good.

I am currently at a Starbucks drinking a double espresso over ice. It tastes like the many espressos I have had over the years. Later the grass on my lawn will suffer wounds as a cutting blade grinds their upper torso into tiny bits called mulch.
