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

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.
