My Morning Routine

"What's Up?" - 4 Non Blondes

My Morning Routine:

12:45a..Computer screen burns my eyes.
1:45a...Shower.
2:45a...Awake.
3:45a...TV burns my eyes.
4:45a...A battle between blanket vs. no blanket.
5:45a...Awake.
6:45a...Cellphone burns my eyes.
7:45a...A search for piece of mind.
8:45a...Awake.
9:45a...Arrives late for work as always.
10:45...Sun burns my eyes.
11:45a..Awake.

I don't know if this is normal, but when I don't sleep everything feels fuzzy especially the surface of my face. My body temperature skyrockets and the feeling in my toes go numb. My eyes jolt from side to side and I'll whisper a lot to myself. I'll stand up to stretch and scratch those hard to reach places. I'll walk up to the mirror and count the jagged red lines in my eyes as they continue to spread. I'm up to 16.

My skin often gets oily so I'll brush my hair and pin it up to avoid having it rub against the back of my neck. I'll turn on all the lights in the kitchen just to get a tall glass of water with 3 ice cubes. Yes, there must be 3. I'll drink it slowly so that the ice will melt and I won't have to go back out for more water.

I'll pout just to see how big my bottom lip is and open my mouth a little wider, stick my tongue out to see how huge my tonsils still are. I'll suck in my cheeks and work on my posture. I'll stare at my uneven fingernails and start planning a productive day in my head. But I know this will change once I officially roll out of bed because all I'll wish for is to roll right back in it.

Lyrics:

Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
And I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means

And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning

And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
What's going on?

And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what's going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what's going on?

And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what's going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what's going on?

ooh, ooh ooh
ooh, ooh ooh

And I try, oh my god do I try
I try all the time, in this institution
And I pray, oh my god do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution

And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
What's going on?

And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what's going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what's going on?

And I say, hey hey hey hey
(I wake in the morning
And I step outside)
Hey, hey, hey
(And I take a deep breath and I get real high)
I said hey, what's going on?
(What's going on?)

ooh, ooh ooh
ooh, ooh ooh

Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination

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...
