"Take Over Control" - Afrojack feat. Eva Simons


I'm into this song. Now to find this in real life.

For a while now people have been encouraging me to "put myself out there." God, I don't even know what that means anymore. I mean, I go out pretty often so I technically am out there, but I've been told that I have a pretty tough exterior. I usually just focus on those around me and don't assert myself to inviting new people in. What am I a convenience store? I'm at my wit's end with this whole "perception" of me, but I guess it's better than being considered an easy pushover. I just don't get the whole song and dance of dating. This sh*t makes me dizzy. I've never been one to just go with it since I've always been the one to lead, so now I wonder, "What do I do exactly?"

There's been heavy debate over Match.com. Should I or shouldn't I? Sad thing is the only one arguing the "con" side is me. Votes are pretty unanimous to go for it, but the thing is I don't really know what it is I'm going for. Online has never been my strongest suit. Besides blogging, paying bills, and Facebook I'm rarely on it. I love face-to-face interaction like the guy I met at the bar even though it won't go anywhere. I just don't want to lead anyone on and frankly, I feel like it comes off that way with my whole profile visible to strangers. Plus, I'm not that comfortable with change. I know I'm not the type to walk up to a handsome stranger to strike up a conversation and I know rarely will this happen to me considering my initial first impressions. But...online? Has it really come down to this?

I know we live in this day and age. I know it's more common than uncommon. I know it won't hurt to try and to not always expect lies and to be open-minded and to let all this negative energy go. Blah, blah, blah... I know that even when I'm careful, caring, and cautious it doesn't necessarily come back ten-fold. OBVIOUSLY. But...and there goes that BIG BUT again... Am I ready for all of this?

I posted on my status update, "Wishing I could go back in time to date a man who knows how to be a REAL MAN" and boy, did I get a response! 37 comments later, I read how problems still existed in the past, how sometimes if you're expecting bad stuff to happen, they'll happen (how lovely) and my all time favorite, what will real men get from real women? To which my reply was, a woman they actually deserve. This ongoing debate didn't surprise me, but it did help me see more clearly that there's a "Scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" policy going on here. It's just that my whole point with this was to see if I could get my back scratched first. Come on! At least that and that ain't much. I just want someone to show me what they TRULY have to offer so that I can see if it even fits with me and mine before I show them in return. But this exchange has to be equal. Give and take. Compromise.

I want to experience being cared for. Not like taking care of the utility bills and putting food on the table type thing, but the sweet stuff like opening doors, making a plan, walking up to my doorstep with flowers and chocolates in hand to take me to a nice dinner and picking up the tab. The pursuit is intoxicating if done right by someone I actually want to do it. Ladies, we kicked ourselves in the foot with this equality sh*t because chivalry is dead. Romeo, Romeo where for art thou, Romeo? Nowadays, you're lucky if a guy is even considerate to check in, say "I love you" to you on the phone with his friends around, or tell a joke without making your relationship the punch line. Yet, the sweet ones aren't cute and the cute ones are d*cks! And if you get an ugly d*ck like most of what I had to deal with, well you could imagine my frustration. So, after this vent fest I will do what this song said. I'll give someone a chance to take over and hope they don't f@$k it all up! The hard part wouldn't be to deal with a potential mess, it would be to let it happen in order to see how well they'll be able to clean it up.

Lyrics:

Let's go take a ride in your car
I will take the passenger seat
Baby, we don't have to go far
Unless you wanna show
Me a lovely place out of town
Where you feel most at ease
Well you are the one that I like
Always will be

I think it's time to let you know
The way I feel when you take hold
One single touch from you, I'm gone
Still got the rush when I'm alone
I think it is time I let you know
Take all of me, I will devote
You set me free, my body's yours
It feels the best when you're involved

I want you to take over control
Take over control
Take take take take over control
Oh oh oh, I want you to take over control
Plug it in and turn me on

I want you to take over control
Take over control
Take take take take over control
Oh oh oh, I want you to take over control
Plug it in and turn me on

Baby, baby, can't you see?
That I'm giving all of me
So, it's up to you now
We could let time pass away
I'll make an excuse to play
But, it's up to you now
Just wanna fulfill your needs
While you're taking over me
So, what do you want now?
Take a picture, make a show
'Cause nobody has to know
All the ways that we get down

I want you to take over control
Take over control
Take take take take over control
Oh oh oh, I want you to take over control
Plug it in and turn me on

Oh, oh whoa oh
Oh, oh whoa ooh oh
Plug it in and turn me on
Oh, oh whoa oh
Oh, oh whoa ooh oh
Plug it in and turn me on

I want you to take over control
Take over control
Take take take take over control
Oh oh oh, I want you to take over control
Plug it in and turn me on

Oh, oh whoa oh
Oh, oh whoa ooh oh
Plug it in and turn me on
Oh, oh whoa oh
Oh, oh whoa ooh oh
Plug it in and turn me on

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.
