Give Me Skies Of Black And Blue

Eli Young Band. Yes, country. It's funny how much I used to hate country. I couldn't stand it when I lived in Tennessee. Then I got up to Maine and after a few years some of it started to grow on me. If I heard some of the popular '90s country, I could probably sing along since my mom would play that on our road trips to Maine and back home. So I was surprised when I saw someone posted lyrics from Home as his status.

I've never known a love
My soul was searching for
Now I look into that great big blue
Feel nothing I've felt before
I'm alone

I'm hoping it's just a song he likes. It is a good song after all, but I wouldn't be surprised if he felt that way and that makes me sad for him. I can't imagine being so reserved and introverted and having to deal with that much publicity.

Today When It Rains came on my ipod. I had it on shuffle. Thought it was kind of funny. The song is sad, but I smiled because I remembered a brief conversation.

Speaking of which, smiles are contagious. There are some that are more so than others though. There is this one person who's smile is the happiest I've ever seen. It doesn't occur very often anymore, but when it does, I can't contain my own grin. It's a nice feeling to be so happy. If you have the capacity to make me smile like that, you're pretty spectacular. I'm glad a lot of my friends have that ability.
