My Life Would Look Alright on the Silver Screen (4/7/07)

So there we were... walking on the rooftop above an old city.
The street lights blurred below us.

It was there he kissed me
I just walked away.

He caught up to me and kissed me again.
I didn't protest; I just let it happen.

He kissed me again and again.
Pressing his lips hard against mine.

I'm not sure why I didn't like it,
I just didn't.

It wasn't because I didn't find him attractive.
He was Apollo with James Dean's smile.

And it wasn't because I thought he was dull.
We could laugh and talk for hours.

So there we were... walking on the rooftop above this city.
In any movie this would have been the perfect romatic scene.

He kissed me, below a million stars.
And I felt nothing.

11/11/06: one of those days

So today seemed to be one of those days...

Woke up early this morning...thought I might have a bit more to do before work - ended up that I didn't (thank god). I took Bruno up with me to Caribou. They've already got all of their shit up for Christmas. I, of course, said that it was too damn early. The guy behind the counter agreed...however the girl making my coffee said that she didn't mind and that it couldn't have come sooner. Besides, she commented, that when you look back on the two or three days of the actual holiday it just seems to go by so fast (but spreading out over three months makes it all better?).

Work was pretty blah. I spent a chunk of Tuesday making travel arrangements for my boss for a trip this coming Monday only to spend the very last 30 minutes of the day on Friday to cancel all of them. Love it when I'm so productive.

Came home. The woman across the street has her Christmas lights up already. I don't mind that she put them up this soon...but she's got them on. Can't it at least wait until the first good snow fall? But then again she had her fake pumpkin out a week or so after Labor Day so I shouldn't be surprised, should I?

Last Sunday I bought a pair of not cheap gloves for working out side when it starts getting colder. My dog thought it was a chew toy. Managed to pull it out of his mouth before any real damage was done.

*Not today but funny just the same* I met this one guy back in June. We're on this schedule that every 6-8 weeks he pops back up then we hang out for a night, bullshit, have a great time and then he drops out of sight for another 6-8 weeks. He always says that he's been real 'busy' at work and when he finally gets some down time he's burnt out...that's why there are such long gaps between talking/seeing each other. So last month I get a text message from him "Hello. How r u? My text mssgs don't work so call me to say hi". Yeah...I laughed out loud too when I read this. I wasn't originally going to call him back but it was just too damn hard to pass up. Got his voice mail. Said something to the effect that 'I thought it was funny that he sent a text message to say that his text messages weren't working. Seems to me we're still on our 6 week schedule. Guess I won't be hearing from you until early December.' 19 days and counting

I don't think I could wipe the "What the Fuck?!?!" expression off my face if I tried.

11/27/06: so....

so...

...how does one spend the Wednesday before Thanksgiving? Well in past years it would have been spent in a complete haze but this year is just a bit different.
This year I'm actually working a full day BUT there is nothing to do but fuck around on the internet and run across interesting theories like this....

"So I've been reading up on the rumors about alien baby cruise, and I decided to do a little photo comparison. I attached the collage that I made. I'm starting to buy into the hype that little Suri looks more like Josh Hartnett than any of other recent love affairs. Here's the timeline--she broke her engagement with Chris Klein in early March, was seen gallivanting around with Josh Hartnett in early April, and started dating Tom in late April. In October, she starts showing so they have to announce that she's pregnant, BUT she doesn't have the baby until a year later and she was really big for most of her pregnancy, which is surprising given that she is a slight girl. Remember how fake her stomach looked in the later months? What if she got pregnant in April during a tryst with Josh, gave birth in December/January in secret, and then started carrying around some stuffing until April when they decided to stage the birth? This would explain why the birth certificate in April was not legit AND it would explain the pregnancy because Tom is supposedly sterile which is why he never had a natural child before. What do you think? I still can't get on board with the whole story because of how Tom cannot reproduce. But he's always wanted his own child, hence the adoptions in his 1st and 2nd marriage, so here is a good way to fake it. By the way, you know Oprah wasn't invited to the wedding because she said she didn't believe in his sincerity after the couch incident, but Brooke Shields was invited!"

Wow - I'm scratching my head over that one.

My weekend is slowing unraveling. I hate making plans...nothing ever seems to fall in place the exact way they should. I would like to take this small opportunity to acknowledge the official passing of the 'date'. You know that strange time of the year when guys will stop talking to you so they don't have to buy you a gift. Anyone dating before this date may feel obligated to purchase a Christmas/Hanukah/Kwanza gift. The open & committed dating season doesn't start again until around the 15th of Febuary until then it's just one nighters no commitment, no gift! Whoo hoo!!! I'm in for some bumpy nights! Who am I kidding beside the whole thing works in my favor too. No need to pick up one of those Old Spice Travel kits or a copy of Uncle Johns Book or someother random thoughtless gift for that 'special someone'.

So what else has been going on? Not much - gave the dog a bath the other day, going to see the folks tomorrow, gained 2.5 pounds. I'm pissed, I have no money - not even enough to rent some movies, and I'm in this strange regressive state right now. I think tonight it will be comic books, porn, White Castles & lil ol me.

2/20/07: song that remind us of movies

So I'm a big movie fan...I'm into the whole random quotes and obscure flicks thing. I know that there are other folks out there that are truely amazing at that but...whatever.

Found this site on Stuff.com "Songs that Remind Us Of Movies"


The article sites such movies as...
Dirty Dancing - "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" by Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes
Reservior Dogs - "Little Green Bag" by George Baker Selection
The Big Lebowski - "The Man in Me" by Bob Dylan
Pulp Fiction - "Miserlou" by Dick Day & His Del Tones

...shit I'm not writing out the rest of them but you get the idea



I pretty much agree with all of them except
Apocalypse Now - I associate the Flight of the Valkyries with that flick.

Then there are the others that I think were left off the list
Ferris Buellers Day Off - "Oh, Yeah" by Yello
Waynes World - "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen
The Breakfast Club - That song they whistled from The Bridge Over the River Kwai

Feel free to add more...I'm sure I will...
