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

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.
