Mine for the Taking

"Let's Go" - Calvin Harris feat. NeYo




The moment is mine for the taking. I could sit here on my hands or get up and reach for what I want even if it means jumping higher than I thought I could ever jump. I fought my way up for others, it's about time for me to fight for me. So what if I expected a cheerleading squad and no one showed up? So what if this opportunity is not yet set in stone? So what if a battle exists in my head with what could be vs. what has always been? The could is what makes it good.

I feel it in my bones that I'm making the right decision and I've waited too long to let it slip through my fingers because things aren't moving at a pace I can easily follow and because it's not the path I'm supposed to take. How do I know for sure if I keep playing it safe? I can't let my emotions scare me into thinking I'm taking a giant leap of faith only to end up flat on my ass. I've fallen before. Many times. It hurts for a while, but nothing a good ice pack and time won't fix. I don't want to stop because I might fall down again. I know that no matter how hard I try, there's no real net to catch all of life's mistakes before they happen. I could spend my time worrying about living or just allow myself to live regardless of the worry.

But know this: I change my mind a lot. Make a big deal out of nothing a lot. Speak the truth a lot. Trust my instinct a lot. Lead with my heart a lot. Over analyze a lot. Cry a lot. Laugh a lot. See the "what ifs" a lot. Complain to complain a lot. Throw a tantrum a lot. Argue my way a lot. Work pretty damn hard a lot. Because it's all or nothing or nothing at all. So I'm jumping and when I land flat on my feet I'm going to take off running.

Lyrics:

Let’s go!
Make no excuses now
I’m talking here and now
I’m talking here and now

Let’s go!
Your time is running out
I’m talking here and now
I’m talking here and now

It’s not about what you’ve done
It’s about what you doing
It’s all about where you going
No matter where you’ve been
Let’s go!

Let’s go!
Let’s go!
Let’s go!
Let’s go!
(It's now or never oooh oooh)
(Tomorrow's good, tonight is better oooh oooh)

There is no better time
I’m talking here and now
I’m talking here and now
Let’s go!
Right now is where you shine
I’m talking here and now
I’m talking here and now

It’s not about what you’ve done
It’s about what you doing
It’s all about where you going
No matter where you’ve been
Let’s go!

Let’s go!
Let’s go!
Let’s go!
Let’s go!

Let’s make it happen
Ooh, let’s make it happen tonight
Let’s make it happen
Ooh, let’s make it happen tonight
Let’s make it happen
Ooh, let’s make it happen tonight
Let’s make it happen
Ooh, let’s make it happen tonight
Let’s go!

Let’s go!
Let’s go!
(It's now or never oooh oooh)
(Tomorrow's good, tonight is better oooh oooh)
Let’s go!
Let’s go!

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.
