Time Bomb

(Tick Tock Tick Tock)

Verse 1:
Come to me the moon is closer
Then your eyes (then your eyes)
I can barley see through the cracks that shines out my scars
Sirens scream in vein
I have already died a million times inside

Chorus:
I surrender
Shoot me down
No bullet could
Stop me now

My love does not depend
On anyone or anything
It will never die

Verse 2:
Ticking like a time bomb
Soon to blow away
I am not you
You are not me
It still plays
I could say i love you
If only for a day
amongst this sunken ship
I am drowning in

Chorus:
I surrender
Shoot me down
No bullet could
Stop me now

My love does not depend
On anyone or anything
It will never die

Ticking like a time bomb
Ticking like a time bomb
Ticking like a time bomb
Ticking like a time bomb

Chorus:
I surrender
Shoot me down
No bullet could
Stop me now

My love does not depend
On anyone or anything
It will never die

Tick Tock Tick Tock
Tick Tock Tick Tock

Another great song from Burn Notice. This is from the Season 2 finale, when Michael tells Management, “I’ll take my chances” without Management’s protection against whatever evils and enemies Michael has hiding out in the world.

“As a spy working for a government, you’re protected. You may work solo but you have agreements with other spy agencies. Even when you’re surrounded by your enemies, that protects you. When your entire career consists of making enemies, there’s no greater danger than being totally cut off. Alone. When you find yourself out in the cold, all you can do is put your head down and try to survive.”

- Michael Westen

Hey Now

Hey now, where’d you go?
I see right through and all of this I know
But everything you want doesn’t all come back to you
Lifted off the floor
Off the roof and hold me high above the flames below

Wait

Hey now where’d you go
I see right through and all of this I know
But everything you want doesn’t all come back to you

Time often it’s so strange
Maybe if it’s plated in gold you’d like it more
When the seas and the oceans pull
Feels like we were miles apart
And all these sunny days that we sleep inside
Destiny is calling us home

And I
Hey now, where’d you go?
I see right though and all of this I know
Everything you want doesn’t all come back to you

Hey now rise and fall
I see right through and all of this I know
I think our eyes are falling in love this afternoon
Lifted off the floor
Off the roof and hold me high above the flames below

Wait

So these lyrics are pretty much impossible to find online, so I took a few minutes out of my busy schedule to jot them down, with my mom’s help. We’re as sure as we can be about them, so enjoy!

This song came from the Burn Notice soundtrack, and it’s basically a song they use everytime Michael and Fi have some touching scene. This song is one of my favorites and I thought it was time for me to put it up on this blog since I had it on my other one and it was helpful to people looking for the lyrics. 

Who else is looking forward to the Sam Axe prequel and the start of season 5? I know I am!

Too Much Tv

I watch too much tv. This is just a fact of a life, but I take comfort in the fact that this is a recent phenomenon. Up until I started college I had two shows that I watched when they aired on tv and those were Battlestar Galactica and Lost. I watched Lost since the second season, so that maked it my longest watched show on tv. Which is why it is sorely missed now that it's been over for a few months now.

Anyway, back to how much tv I watch. Let me give you the run down; right now of the shows that I watch whenever they are on the air my week goes like this:

Monday: House, Castle

Tuesday: NCIS, White Collar, V

Wednesday: Law and Order: SVU

Thursday: CSI, Burn Notice

Friday: CSI: New York, (and if I'm really in the mood) Clone Wars

There are other shows that are currently filming and won’t return for a few months that I also watch when they air, assuming they don’t conflict with a show I like better: Burn Notice, White Collar, and Dollhouse before it ended.

Now, here’s the shows that I also watch but I catch online somehow whether it be the next day, in re-runs or after an entire season is over and it’s on Netflix: In Plain Sight, Doctor Who, Torchwood, The Sarah Jane Adventures, Law and Order, CSI: Miami and Law and Order: Criminal Intent.

Whew, I’m tired just listing all of them! Basically, my point is I watch a LOT of tv. Something should be done about the number of hours in a day, because it’s hard to keep up! And USA certainly doesn’t help with the number of good shows it suddenly seems to have. And CBS as well (when they actually AIR the shows on schedule). Oh, and there’s also ABC’s contribution. And Fox’s. Though they both recently just dumped two shows that I watched regularly: RIP Lost and 24.

Anyway, that’s about it for my tv watching. There’s a lot of it.

Back to Orlando I go!

I was lucky enough to make it to Celebration V in Orlando, Florida back in August. Celebration V was the hands down best four days of my life, even the part where I had a massive headache (induced by lack of sleep the previous week thanks to my excitement) and I slept outside on an Army bedroll with my cousin and only a free t-shirt we were given as a pillow. Hey, it paid off; we were among the first 500 people let in to see George Lucas and Jon Stewart.

Even though I was in Orlando for a grand total of 5 days, one night of which was spent at MGM (I refuse to call it Hollywood Studios) for the Last Tour to Endor, I really did not do any of the typical Orlando and Disney related fun things to do. Of course, on the bus ride back to the convention we did pass by a few of my childhood memories of Orlando, like Pirate's Cove mini golf, and the Ripley's Believe It Or Not building, but we were too busy with the convention to spend any time there. This next trip to Orlando probably won't have much more tourist type activities, but I plan on making my dad take me to at least a few fun things. After all, I'll be there for a week and he shouldn't be doing any work on the weekend.

My parent's divorce has made my life hell for the past 3 years but I still hold out some hope that I'll be able to have a fairly fun with my dad, even if this trip is coming shortly after not speaking to him for over a year and a half. Though, if I'm to be entirely honest, I'd rather spend a week with him in Orlando, then spend the same amount of time with my mom in the same place. After 3 years it's easy to see that the only one of my parents who really is trying to change and make things easier for me after 3 years of hell is my dad while my mom is quite content to shove all her misery on me and make it my fault.

I pretty much plan on spending this week in Orlando completely vegging out. I'm thinking about taking my xbox with me so I can play a few games I need to catch up on, plus I'm taking the Star Wars and Burn Notice books that I have out at the library so I have other things to do to keep me amused. There will also be some school work wrapped in there, but I'm only bringing what I absolutely have to do.

The sign in front of the hotel we stayed at for the convention.

The only thing I'm going to miss about not being home for a week? My 7lb ball of love, a Pekingese/Shih Tzu mix named Kara (for Starbuck in the reimagined Battlestar Galacitca). As a bonus, here's a picture!

Kara Reiko

The best part about coming home from Orlando will be that I get to be with my dog again. She always has the best welcoming committees whenever I come home from being out, even if it was just outside for a few seconds.

While I'm in Orlando I might spend some time working on this place and putting up more posts, and maybe even a few of my favorite pictures from the convention.
