Look Around

"Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime" - Beck

I'm starting a bit earlier than usual dear Blog, but something hit me when I went out to my car. The rain. It surprised me and made me feel a little melancholy. It's funny how strong the weather can impact a mood. I watched it for a bit and then went back inside.

I started looking around my room at the different movie posters I just don't have the heart (or the room) to take down and one stuck out in particular, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I was so blown away by this film the very first time I saw it. I haven't actually watched it all the way through since that time. Maybe it was too magical a moment for me to duplicate. Maybe I already knew what to expect and this is the kinda movie you gotta watch without knowing what's going to happen next.

Sometimes I wish life could be like a movie...
so I could fast-forward through the bad parts.
so I could get to the good stuff and replay it over and over again.
so at least I could feel like I played a significant part in it.
and then maybe I would know if the end was definitely worth waiting for.

Then again, I stood in the rain not knowing for sure if it would get me sick and stayed anyway.


Lyrics:

Change your heart, look around you
Change your heart, it will astound you
I need your loving like the sunshine

And everybody's gotta learn sometime
Everybody's gotta learn sometime
Everybody's gotta learn sometime

Change your heart, look around you
Change your heart, it will astound you
I need your loving like the sunshine

And everybody's gotta learn sometime
Everybody's gotta learn sometime
Everybody's gotta learn sometime

I need your loving
I need your loving

Everybody's gotta learn sometime
Everybody's gotta learn sometime
Everybody's gotta learn sometime
And everybody's gotta learn sometime

Everybody's gotta learn sometime
(I need your loving)
Everybody's gotta learn sometime
(I need your loving)
Everybody's gotta learn sometime
Everybody's gotta learn sometime

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.
