Do Without

"I Hate This Part Right Here" - Pussycat Dolls

I know, I know. Of all songs...

This is one of those guilty pleasures that I hate to admit actually grew on me over time. It's kinda like Britney. I may not like the artist, but damn their songs are catchy! I have to agree that they do play this song out on the radio so there really is no need to download it with all the hoopla it's been getting, but I can't help but let it play when it pops up for the millionth time (that is if my bf isn't stuck in the car with me since he wouldn't tolerate such noise). Go figure the kind of crap men listen to, but put on a sappy sad song with heartbreaking lyrics and of course they turn it off.

If you've ever been hurt before and stuck in the middle of ending something you invested your time, money, and of course heart into...well then this song pretty much nails it right on the head. It may not be the easiest thing to do, but if you've ever loved and hated then you have gone through a similar cry baby moment. I can't help, but quote Dane Cook with the ever-so-popular saying, "I did my best!" Isn't it the truth?

You start thinking of the past and maybe even present relationships/friendships you've grown attached to. You start thinking about the people you care or cared about and realize that the list may have shrank over the years. You start thinking about the what ifs and why nots and what the fucks? And wonder how the hell you got where you are now in the first place?!

In my case, I'm just at a level where I'm content with the people in my life but maybe not so satisfied with myself. I don't regret those that I no longer interact with because it was by their choice that they lost me and my choice to stay gone. If they filter their way back, then I'd be curious to say, "Hello." But if not, well it didn't kill me to do without.

I think of this song as saying goodbye to something that used to be fun and fulfilling because it got too fuckin' hard to be worth it in the end.

Lyrics:

We're driving slow through the snow
On fifth avenue
And right now radio is
All that we can hear
Man we ain't talked since we left
It's so overdue
It's cold outside
But between us
It's worse in here

The world slows down but my heart beats fast right now
I know this is the part where the end starts

I can't take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through our fingers
I don't want to try now
All that's left is goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you

I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can't take your tears
I hate this part right here

Everyday seven takes of the same old scene
Seems we're bound by the laws of the same routine
Gotta talk to you now 'fore we go to sleep
But will we sleep once I tell you what's hurting me

The world slows down but my heart beats fast right now
I know this is the part where the end starts

I can't take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through our fingers
I don't want to try now
All that's left is goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you

I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can't take your tears
I hate this part right here

I know you'll ask me to hold on
And carry on like nothing is wrong
But there is no more time for lies
Cause I see sun set in your eyes

I can't take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through our fingers
I don't want to try now
All that's left is goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you

But I gotta do this
I gotta do it
I gotta do it
I hate this part
I gotta do it
I gotta do it
I gotta do it

I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can't take these tears
I hate this part right here

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.
