Four in One

"Sex and the City" - Theme music

I can't get enough of this series and even though I have it on DVD, I still find myself watching it on TV, commercials and all. I admit that I don't watch every episode over and over again. There are some more intriguing than others (usually the ones filled with drama) and I have my favorite relationships to choose from:

Carrie & Mr. Big


Miranda & Steve
Everything is a balancing act filled with multiple questions and difficult answers.
  • Should we stay together or should we go our separate ways?
  • Why do we chase the wrong guys and let the good ones slip away?
  • How can we tell which ones are the good ones anyway?
  • How many chances can a person get?
  • Is there more to love than compatibility and being comfortable?
  • Can we always have butterflies in our stomachs? And why not?
  • Should we forgive and forget?
  • Can we forget?
  • How do we know we found the right one?
  • What does the right one even mean?
  • Do we only want those we can't have?
  • Is that when they only want us... too?

This is what draws me into each of the four female characters. They tackle these bullet points! And though I may not be able to identify with one particular person, I can relate to all of them all at once in so many ways:

  1. Miranda - the cynical brain. A workaholic, good-with-money, unfashionable, direct business woman that isn't afraid to speak her mind. She doesn't have the highest self-esteem nor does she see herself as sexy, but she is strong, independent and knows how to take charge.

  2. Charlotte - the preppy princess. A sweet, charming girlie-girl nerd that loves to believe in fairytale endings and soul mates. A neat and tidy clean-freak with traditional values and a good heart.

  3. Carrie - the writer & emotional drama queen. Able to share her stories by pulling from others' experiences including that of her own. Unable to learn from her mistakes, but able to identify when she makes them. She pursues her passion by taking what she desires regardless of the consequences because it's hard to say "no" to something or someone that makes you happy.

  4. Samantha - a sexy seductress. A powerful woman who knows what she wants and gets it every time.

This isn't about which one of them is better than the other. This is a story about all of them and what they go through. It's just good to get away and feel as though someone else is on the same boat saying, "Damn, don't let this sink on me just yet."

Broken

"Paradise" - Coldplay It took a while for this song to affect me, but I guess a windy drive home through an obstacle course of devastating proportions and the sudden panic of having a "State of Emergency" warning flash within my quiet hometown can change things. A lot. I didn't sleep a single minute last night. Although this isn't anything new, it's new to me to want to sleep and not get it. It was unbelievably frightening to be alone in my room with the nite-lite busted and the wind at full speed...even worse when half the roof over my head flew to the ground with a thunderous thud bringing the rest of the sleepless city to its feet. We've seen the Santa Ana winds, but never at this magnitude. It moved cars and busted windows. It rattled fences and ripped gates apart. It knocked over trashcans and picked up patio furniture like it weighed nothing. In the morning when the dust settled just enough for the hazy sun to bring some light to the mayhem, w

Soul Mates

"Once Upon A Dream" - Sleeping Beauty How funny it is that even after all these years and how far we've come with animation, this classic Disney cartoon still grabs me. Yes, I know it's silly, but it's a silly I grew up with and can't help but fall for... I know the story is so far fetched: a 16 year old girl (that looks more like a 21 year old) with gold of sunshine in her hair and lips that would shame the red, red rose sings high up in the mountain tops and suddenly attracts the man of her dreams; her soul mate! (who by golly is the prince that she has been betrothed to since she was a baby!). Unbelievable. So it's all fairytale crap, but so what? I'm not into it because of the romance! To tell you the truth, I don't even like Aurora all that much, the spoiled lil' brat. I mean, she's beautiful in EVERY way, finds out she's a princess and is going to marry into royalty on top of her royalty! I can't really sympathize... Seriousl

Welcome to People

Songs TBA Last night, I saw a special, private screening courtesy of the Screening Exchange called, "Welcome to People" directed by Alex Kurtzman. I loved it and it wasn't something that I thought I'd love. In fact, I almost changed my mind at the last minute when I saw that familiar long line down the steps at Arclight Paseo. I figured, "Hell it's just another movie." But I'm so glad I didn't turn around. I'm glad I stood in the back of the line, got my hand stamped and cell phone taken away for nearly 3-hours in order to be in a room filled with strangers. I just wish I had something with me to write down the great songs I heard that disappeared by the time I logged onto this blog. It makes me appreciate technology...so check it out when it comes out. I'll make sure I have my cell phone handy the next time I see it so I can grab some songs along the way. Oh, I'm Hannah, not Frankie and let me know what you think.
