Just Like Starting Over (Control Room Playback) - John Lennon (1980)

You can hear him talking in the back, saying “It’s good, isn’t it?” and other little things. One of my favorites! In this take you can even hear more of John putting his “Elvis” type voice into it, which I LOVE!

When you lie on me

Nothing compares to the warmth

Of your naked chest

Just Okay

I’ve never been through this before,

I’ve committed the crime,

I’ve never had to sever the consequence,

It doesn’t feel the way I understood it to be,

It doesn’t help with the sound of screams in my ears,

It is not easy to turn off the sound,

The light helps a little,

The weight feels almost gone,

The veins in my head are boiling now,

Why can’t I stop this,

This stupid,

Pointless,

Endless,

Chasing and running to

You

I’ll be okay,

That’s what they all say,

But why doesn’t it feel that way,

How do I start what I never finish,

How do I begin when it has almost ended once before,

The struggle is embarrassing,

This pain isn’t real,

I won’t ignore this time,

Maybe if I let it pass like the time

Everything will change.

(the poem above was written about R during a period of trying to get over him)

So, let’s just call him R. I’m trying to get over him. Trying. Keyword: TRYING. He wants me to watch Juan of the Dead, a zombie-comedy horror film with him… I’ll… just….

… float

… away

….. in the

… OCEAN.

Hear ye, hear ye!

Might you spare a moment for me

I’ve got questions you must see

I’ve been itchin’ and a scratchin’ me head

Trying to figure out what must be said

Can you take a second and look

What is the purpose of Facebook?

Why are cats, puppies, and duck-faced girls so adored?

Why are comments with poor grammar so abhorred?

When did dead pixel screens need all of our concentration?

When did liking drivel surpass a deep conversation?

Take a hike

Ride your bike

Get out of your house

You lazy louse

Maybe I should sleep… soon… or NOW.

“ Self-examine.

  I think the thing is that I shut off from

Everything.

From friends and family and my own ambitions.

From having fun.

I just shut off from everything.

Self-defeating?

Yeah, probably.

But I

Don’t know

that I had total control over it.

And I’m not sure it even

Matters why.

Sometimes things

Happen and you can’t do anything.”

I should start doing my homework or else the above pictured will be my pre-spring break consequence.. but I’m only TWO episodes away from Episode 7 of Season 3— yes, the musical episode of Daria eponymously entitled “Daria!” (ironically the episode before the one entitled “Lane Miserables”).

Well, my (I use the term my very loosely; I share this laptop with my elder sister Sandy; more like fight; as in to the death; as in verbally; never have I uttered the F word so many a time…) laptop is dying, so I have two options:

Charge this laptop and watch Daria only until the musical episode (if I can control my urges) and sleep late
Be a diligent student by doing my homework now and sleep early

I don’t like crying during films. It means that I allowed my emotions to take over my overall perspective of the movie (anything I say from that point is pure bias shit, well, not shit, but you get the idea) and I like being in a controlled, critical state of mind while watching films, so I can remember everything I liked, didn’t like, things that made the film great, and things that the film could do without. Peggy Sue Got Married is not the greatest film in terms of acting or script or anything really, BUT, what it lacked in it made up in Nicolas Cage. Not to say that Kathleen Turner wasn’t brilliant in this film but Nicolas Cage is so beautifully and insanely abysmal you either have to stop and do one of two things:

Cry because he is a terrible actor and you hate him and don’t know why the hell you are watching this movie
Or cry because he is a terrible actor and you don’t know why but you love watching his movies and can’t stop

If you didn’t know I am of the two variety.

So, going back to the “I don’t like crying during films” predicament. I shed some many tears during the scene in which Charlie (Nicolas Cage) and Peggy (Kathleen Turner) get into a huge altercation. And the whole time they fought I didn’t even snicker once at the sound of the Cage’s ridiculous vocality which regrettably resembled an unfortunate mix of a pre-pubescent Barney with severe asthma. Albeit not convincing, Cage’s over the top sobbing somewhat touched me. To me he represented all the teen anxiety, rage and pain that I go through on the daily. All the poor boy wanted was for Peggy Sue to accept and love him, even if it meant repeating history, unbeknownst of course.

Peggy, overwhelmed with her old feelings of love for Charlie, that she had thought were long forgotten, is confused with the present, the “future present” and doing what is truly right to save both of them from a miserable “future” (technically the present) that ends in a broken marriage and Helen Hunt (not bad).

Other than the acting, that gave this scene its surreal grandiosity, has to be the lighting and the setting. I mean look at the way that dusty ol’ basement transforms into the perfect place for this lovers’ quarrel to undergo. The way the light streams through the window creates an absolute juxtaposition with the antiquated, neglected belongings of yesterday— as if to say, this foolish love is beautiful in the heated moments of our youth, but in the light of morning and dark of night it is nothing but the trash of what I thought could have been. Yeah, I’m not trying to be poetic. I’m sorry, *cups hand to ear* is that the sound of denial?

For anyone who hasn’t already seen this film, I highly recommend it if you have an appreciation for anything and everything that is Nicolas Cage’s acting. And Kathleen Turner. Also, some Jim Carrey. A dash of Helen Hunt. Plus, 50’s fashion and music.

But if anything you should watch it just to hear Nicolas Cage say, “You mean my… WANG?”

I Hate Everything: Headphones:

To quote the immortal Jules, “I was just sitting here, eating my muffin, drinking my coffee, when I had what alcoholics refer to as a moment of clarity.” Unfortunately my moment of clarity involved being disturbed, quite rudely, from my muffin and coffee. Or in this case, Pepsi and sandwich.

I'm going to explode

I didn’t ask for siblings. In fact, I enjoy the company of kids, but I prefer them to be quiet and use them like slaves. “Fetch me this”, “Put this away”, “Turn this on”, “Massage me”… Okay, it’s not that bad. But I yell at them with every ounce of anger that I’ve got. Hormones. A history of anger. I need to manage this explosive fury and channel it to doing something else. Wrestling was exhaustive and I really need to pick up my grades..

…

Or maybe I’ll ~~just~~ explode.

This. This right here is my favorite thing that anyone has ever said to me.

If you want to make me swoon right then and there, just look me in the eye and say this to me.

Take me out and serve me up. I’m done.
