My Turn

"Hold It Against Me" - Britney Spears

If I could create a soundtrack for this passed weekend in Vegas, then this would definitely be on the top of the list. Not only did it play wherever I went, but it kicked off my "I don't give a damn" 4-day vacation spree.

A last minute invite and a couple of sick days later I found myself in a very familiar place. It's been a little over a year since my last visit, but this time I had a different crew. A better bunch that came with no bullsh*t from girls trippin' over being called "b*tches," no worrying about a certain someone that cared more about others than the one who CARED for him. No staying in one f@$kin' place the whole time. No figuring things out for myself. No compin' people who couldn't carry their own weight. No babysittin', no drama, no hardships, no bruises...

The one good thing from that horrid experience was a good friend that stood by my side. Oh, and the fact that I remembered to bring a cooler this time around.

So, was this trip perfect? No, not by any means. Headaches, stomach cramps, couples arguing, and lotsa waiting so yes, sh*t still happened. It's inevitable with a 20+ crowd full of crazy, drunken Latino/a ready to party! Unplanned events turned out better than what we planned out minus our "missing person" search for 5 hours, having to cancel a therapeutic massage, spending too much time at a Walmart buying bathing suits that we never used, and ending up at a hot-a$$ club too crowded to dance in. Sounds wonderful, doesn't it? Well...surprisingly through it all, it was.

I drank my fair share of alcohol to unwind and actually didn't let all this mess bug me because for the first time, it wasn't my mess to deal with. And a Starbucks venti black iced tea sweetened with a little Vodka didn't hurt either. The people around me were easy to get along with and willing to stick together to have a good time. The men acted like men and took care of their ladies. They didn't crowd us in one room so we had our own space. They bought our food, drinks, danced with us and even walked on the outside (closest to the street) to protect us from the mayhem of the strip. We went wild in limos, saw new hotels, dangled on chandeliers, got into clubs with the right connections, and just had a blast! And even though things didn't always work out, overall it was an amazing experience and it was nice to feel well taken care of for a change.

Lyrics:

Hey over there
Please forgive me
If I'm coming on too strong
Hate to stare
But you're winning
And they're playing my favorite song

So come here
'Little closer
Wanna whisper in your ear
Make it clear
Little question
Wanna know just how you feel

If I said my heart was beating loud
If we could escape the crowd somehow
If I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me

Cause you feel like paradise
And I need a vacation tonight
So if I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me

Hey you might think
That I'm crazy
But you know I'm just your type
I might be 'little hazy
But you just cannot deny

There's a spark in between us
When we're dancing on the floor
I want more
Wanna see it
So I'm asking you tonight

If I said my heart was beating loud
If we could escape the crowd somehow
If I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me

Cause you feel like paradise
And I need a vacation tonight
So if I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me

If I said I want your body
Would you hold It against me?

Gimme something good
Don't wanna wait I want It now
Pop It like a hood
And show me how you work It out

(Alright)

If I said my heart was beating loud
If I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me

If I said my heart was beating loud
If we could escape the crowd somehow
If I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me

Cause you feel like paradise
And I need a vacation tonight
So if I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me

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 ...

UnBreakable Me

"Like A G6 & Bass Down Low" - Far East Movement, The Cataracs, & Dev I promised every week at the least. For Me. This is me keeping my promise. For Me. Cuz it's what I've been doing. For Me. And it's what I'll always do. For Me. Lyrics: If you wanna get with me There's some things you gotta know I like my beats fast And my bass down low (Drop it to the floor) Ba-ba-bass, bass, bass down low (to the floor) Bass, bass, bass down low (Drop it to the floor) I, I, I like my beats fast (to the floor) And my bass down low (to the floor) Bass, bass down low (Drop it to the floor) Bass, bass, bass down low (to the floor) I, I, I like my beats fast (Drop it to the floor) And my bass down low (to the floor) Popping bottles in the ice, like a blizzard When we drink we do it right gettin slizzard Sippin sizzurp in my ride, like Three 6 Now I'm feeling so fly like a G6 (808) Like a G6, Like a G6 Now I'm feeling so fly like a G6 Like a G6, Like a G6 Now I...
