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

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...
