If Only

"Only Time" - Enya

22 days later...

Hello dear blog. Life got in the way again, but this time sorry is not enough. So instead of apologizing, I decided to just write.

I chose this song because it's very calming. It takes me away from the crap that's happening in the world and pulls me back in time when I had my own space to sort myself out. Complete with a warm cup of Lipton tea and more Enya playing in the background.

I don't understand how most people work so hard for so many years, only to have it taken away from them in one, single day...

Last Thursday, a few of my good friends got laid off from a company I just left this passed October. This security blanket in knowing there was always some place to go, something to do, others that rely on these services all of a sudden pulled out from under them. All because of money-hungry mistakes that a few made and can no longer be responsible for is it now being forced upon those who tried to prevent it.

I could have been in the same spot had I chose to stay put and not move forward, but something in me said to take a shot and a giant leap of faith into something that may or may not work in my favor. Even at first when I really felt I didn't belong and didn't really see myself in the position I claimed was right for me, I stuck it out.

And it is because of this chance, that I still have a place to go and something to do so that others can still rely on such services; services that used to be offered by many, but because of our current state has been limited to very few.

If only we could be sure of where we're going so we wouldn't feel so lost.

Lyrics:

Who can say where the road flows?
Where the day goes?
Only time.

And who can say if your love grows?
As your heart chose?
Only time.

Who can say why your heart sighs?
As your love flies?
Only time.

And who can say why your heart cries?
If your love dies?
Only time.

Who can say when the road meet

that love might be...
in your heart?
And who can say when the day sleeps...
the moon still keeps on moving
if the night keeps in your heart?
Night keeps in your heart.

Who can say if your love grows?
As your heart chose?
Only time.

And who can say where the road goes?
Where the day flows?
Only time.

Who knows?
Only time.

Who knows?
Only time.

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...

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...

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.
