Chase

"Someone Else" - Radiohead

I'm handing something over to you. Take it, but you can't. Take the damn thing cuz it's staring you right in the face. See it?! But you can't. It's not everyday perfection lies in front of you. So you step back. It's not everyday you get more than 9 lives, but you risk it anyway. It's not everyday you get chances to the nth degree, but you don't know what to do with it or so it seems...so you turn the other way. You can't...so you don't.

This song is it in a nutshell so I'm going to follow it. I promised myself to do less, not more. I want a fight. I want effort. Yet I don't always do what I say. I'm still giving more of me than what you're worth. No one deserves it all and trust me, that's not one I'm offering. It may seem like it since I'm making it very obvious how uncomplicated I can be when I want something. Yet I only want just one thing.

Boys are so predictable in nature. They crave to hunt, not to be chased. They don't know what to do when things are handed to them on a silver platter. They don't know how to do things the easy way. It's tempting, but not as appealing as playing this game of cat and mouse. They want the challenge. So count me in, but be ready. I want to be the mouse this time. And believe me, I'm very good at it.

Lyrics:

I want to, I want to be someone else or I'll explode
Floating upon the surface for
The birds, the birds, the birds

You want me, f@%king well come and find me
I'll be waiting with a gun and a pack of sandwiches
And nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing

You want me, well, come on and break the door down
You want me, f@%king come on and break the door down
I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready...

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.
