Ours

"We Belong Together" - Ritchie Valens

Don't be misled by the song I chose for this entry. I chose it for many reasons. I chose it because I know you expected something from me. It's been this way since we found out you, too, are a dad. I don't mean a gift, a card, or even a call. I just mean some sort of acknowledgment, that's all. But even though I didn't greet you for the first time in 5-years (we know why it's not 6), I also know you know what I would've said anyway.

I just had to let this Sunday pass without you. I could've easily taken a moment for you, but I wanted to devote my attention to the only man in my life that has never left my side no matter how heavy the burden and how rough the road: My dad.

We kept it pretty mellow today. Of course my dad did all the cooking and ended up taking care of everyone before himself, but that's expected. And although nothing crazy happened to really drain me, I somehow felt my energy being drained. I took several naps. On the ride home from Forest Lawn, on the couch with the TV on full blast and my niece waking me up every chance she got, and in my room with the window open and the smell of barbecue making its way in. But even with the little bits and pieces of rest in-between, I felt so tired.

So, I'm going to make you work. Like I said I'm calling it "Pink" because I have other things to do. I shouldn't have made this so easy for you in the first place. So I'll just tell you this, "Do something already." It was pointless to attempt to and give up, though I've grown pretty used to this by now, but let me make it quite clear. This is not your choice. It's ours...if there even is a choice to make.

Lyrics:

You're mine and we belong together
Yes, we belong together, for eternity

You're mine, your lips belong to me
Yes, they belong to only me, for eternity

You're mine, my baby and you'll always be
I swear by everything I own
You'll always, always be mine

You're mine, and we belong together
Yes, we belong together, for eternity

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.
