the good that won't come out: 09

20050917

Yes and the morning has me looking in your eyes and seeing mine...

Moving today...big news. And even bigger? For the first time in my life-and NOT EVEN ON PURPOSE, I pulled an all-nighter. Not ONE wink of sleep. I'm okay now, but it's only, like, 8:35 in the morning. And moving's a big deal. And I know Nikou and she'll be like, "come on! Let's go places!!!!" BLEGH. Anywho, we're leaving right now to meet Charles for breakfast before we get movin'. Hmmmm...I hung out w/ James and Chris last night and it was really fun-I missed those boys. Life goes by so quickly sometimes...not to get nostalgic or anything, but at the same time it really is true. I'm sorry that this post can't be longer-we've seriously gotta run. In any case, I'm trying to vow to myself to post on as close to a daily basis as I can so you guys can know what the hell's going on w/ me (20 minutes away)-lol. But yeah...I'm not sure what cable's I'll need or what not so I'm not exactly sure when I'll be on again. But I'll be on soon. Someday. I promise. I love you all SO MUCH-please come and visit. Promise you will?

This song is in the greatest movie of all time (The Royal Tenenbaums) and it never really affected me until now. I hope you like them-they're not really emo, just introspective. Hope they reflect my thoughts well and I'll miss the random house stop-bys. C-Bell, we're gonna miss you today.

LyricsSong: The Fairest Of The Seasons

Now that it's time
Now that the hour hand has landed at the end
Now that it's real
Now that the dreams have given all they had to lend
I want to know do I stay or do I go
And maybe try another time
And do I really have a hand in my forgetting ?
Now that I've tried
Now that I've finally found that this is not the way,
Now that I turn
Now that I feel it's time to spend the night away
I want to know do I stay or do I go
And maybe finally split the rhyme
And do I really understand the undernetting ?
Yes and the morning has me looking in your eyes and seeing mine
Warning me
To read the signs carefully.
Now that it's light
Now that the candle's falling smaller in my mind
Now that it's here
Now that I'm almost not so very far behind
I want to know do I stay or do I go
And maybe follow another sign
And do I really have a song that I can ride on ?
Now that I can
Now that it's easy, ever easy all around.
Now that I'm here
Now that I'm falling to the sunlights and a song
I want to know do I stay or do I go
And do I have to do just one
And can I choose again if I should lose the reason ?
Yes, and the morningHas me looking in your eyes and seeing mine
Warning me
To read the signs more carefully.
Now that I smile,
Now that I'm laughing even deeper inside.
Now that I see,
Now that I finally found the one thing I denied
It's now I know do I stay or do I go
And it is finally I decide
That I'll be leavingIn the fairest of the seasons.

ok...now on to the original post.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just got done watching Vertigo-that movie is so f-ing...no, I'll just say it-that movie is so fucking depressing. Jesus christ. The last like, 5 minutes are so intense and they make me want to jump off of a spanish bell tower. Jesus-I don't know if any of you have seen it and I love that movie but I hadn't seen it in 2 years and I had forgotten how suicidal it makes the audience feel. Jesus. In any case, Jimmy Stewart is amazing in it and Kim Novak's darned good. Personal take=the chemistry is not that of Cary Grant & Eva Marie Saint's in North by Northwest, but then again-hey-what is?
I kind of really want to hold a Hitchcock movie marathon/party...damn. Well, maybe someday soon.
In other news today, Aly just called me and was like, "hey-if I pick you up in 45 minutes can you go shopping with me??" And I was like, "uhh...sure!" So that's way cool-I haven't been able to hang out w/ Aly in SUCH a long time.
Hmmmm...life is good! Uhm...I need to start packing my stuff and sorting through all of my crap still...? I need to go and deposit those checks like NOW. So...maybe I'll go and do that. GOD DAMN I want to watch more Hitchcock! I feel like watching Rear Window but I don't haaaaave that oooooone.....graaaaah! Well, maybe I'll buy it tonight. If anyone wants to borrow
Vertigo
North by Northwest
Strangers on a Train
Dial M for Murder
or
The Lady Vanishes,
you are more than welcome to. I severely do NOT recommend watching Lifeboat. The only awesome part is Hitchcock's appearance. Oh! Another one that I recommend is The Trouble with Harry-it's a dark comedy which is quite funny and out of left field for him. (I never honestly unserstood that expression-I always played that position and I loved it. Hm. Go figure, eh?) Why am I ranting about this??? LOL none of you care, but if you ever want to talk Hitchcock, please let me know. By all means-please.
OK! Time to listen to some Ben Lee (..."my head is a box filled with nothing and that's the way I like it"-LOL) and get changed to go out w/ Aly boo. Wait! Deposit checks first...I seriously need to remind myself of things I need to do sometimes. I get distracted far too easily sometimes. Yes.

AUGH! I LOVE YOU!

Ok-time to ir al banco. (Yeah, I know-time to to go to the bank. I got the grammatical Spanglish error. Yeah, thanks.) Haha-Ok-catch you guys later. W3RD. COLLIN'S MOM, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!

Scottie: You shouldn't keep souvenirs of a killing! You shouldn't-you shouldn't have been that sentimental!

"...Umm, is that a fat guy on a bike?"

So, uhm, it's most definitely time for an update. Yes, most definitely.

Haha-except that I really don't have too much to update on. So there we go! Well, I've been listening to a lot of Bob Dylan and Ben Lee lately...? Uhm, my job ends in a week (I'm not working this week from mon-fri), I'm in the process of planning uh, some espionage...stuff (if you don't know then you're not a spy. Obviously.) My plans for tomorrow? Enjoying a well-deserved day off hanging out with Donny, Nicole, Tony, and probably Emily...I kinda want to go to the beach b/c what was almost my entire summer was spent inside of the Coronado Starbucks...augh. G-ross.
I just now realized that I was supposed to call the boys about an rpg at Eric's house. I'm sorry, boys-Nicole and Donny were waiting for me AT my work because they knew exactly when I'd be off. I guess they just got there (not first b/c you were there earlier, but) at the right time. I also was supposed to call uh...my spy partner. Sorry, C-Bell. God DAMN, this entry is pointless. Haha. Well....uh......I'm trying to decide whether or not to watch Vertigo right now or go to sleep b/c Jer (I love you, Sweetie....hope you're sleeping well right now b/c it's oh, I'd say only about 4:30 in the F-ing morning where you are) is going to call at like, 6:30 in the morning...but while he's in class I can sleep...hmmmmmm...dunno. I guess I'll decide my plans when I'm done with this waste of time-HAH-sorry to everyone who's readin' this.

Okay-so this is the song I'm listening to right now-it's freaking awesome-this song is, well,...definitely picturesque of the true Bob Dylan lyricism. But then again, I've heard an account that he doesn't really know what the hell he's writing about sometimes and it just comes to him, so you never know. These don't pertain to my life or really, anyone I know. Which I'd say is good. Most definitely. And if you're familiar with the song, a thousand "You're a walking library of song lyrics" points to you. (HAHA just to make this entry even MORE interesting I'll put up some lyrics that I know you'll want to take the time to read through. )

Enjoy!

Like a Rolling Stone
by Bob Dylan

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People'd call, say, "Beware, Doll, you're bound to fall"
You used to laugh about
That everybody was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so proud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal

How does it feel?
How does it feel?
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it
You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's now selling any alibis
And you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And ask him do you want to make a deal?

How does it feel?
How does it feel?
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

You never turned around to see the frowns
On the jugglers and the clowns
When they all come down and did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get their kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal

How does it feel?
How does it feel?
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a rolling stone?

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things
But you'd better lift your diamond ring
You'd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you got nothing you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal

How does it feel?
How does it feel?
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a rolling stone?

Uhm, so I basically realized that even though the song doesn't sound depressing, it sort of is. So, I'll end with a funny story. At work we try not to break 100s b/c we don't keep 20s in out registers-therefore, we supply change with 5s and 1s...occasionally 10s...point being, anything over a 20 is typically a pain in the ass. We need to get more change out, set the safe, etc., etc. So today I'm in the back for some reason or another, and just as background, there are two gay guys who work there. One is the 17 year-old George, not really a diva, but a lot of fun. The other is our second manager, Dylan, who reminds me of Kirk but with class and manners. Yes, try to imagine it...-don't strain yourself. Dylan is, almost always, composed and very responsible (I know it doesn't sound like our Kirkums, but you'll see why in a minute...). SO!
George comes in and puts his hands up, seeming frenzied and says to Dylan, "Dylan, I need change because this woman out there doesn't have ANYTHING else but a hundred!" And Dylan just looks at him very calmly and says, "Okay, break it-give her change and as many ones as you have in your drawer." I laughed so hard-haha you'd be surprised at how disgruntled Starbucks employees are...hah-then again, you would have no reason to be b/c you can probably see it all over almost all of their faces.

That's about here-g'night. Or g'mornin'. It's like, 1:30. Check it. One two.
