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.

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.

Love Is Not Blind

"Colorblind" - Counting Crows I originally had a Dave Matthews Band song in my head, but like always I'm bending the rules a little bit and going with what's in my heart. After all, I couldn't follow my last blog with something you didn't like, could I? That just wouldn't fit and this seems to do just that. This song reminds me of the movie Cruel Intentions . It's hard not to think of it. Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe's chemistry was so strong, especially in their steamy love scene with this song playing in the background, that any other memory pales in comparison. I always thought the lyrics were so simple and romantic, but it became even clearer here. There was no doubt about it. I knew instantly that they were a real life couple even before they announced it. Love is obvious. Acting can never really be this good unless two people have genuine feelings for each. Look at Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams in The Notebook and Angelina Jolie ...
