"Life Is Beautiful...

.. but it's complicated, we barely make it
we don't need to understand
there are miracles, there are miracles."

WHAT UP VEGA 4 - This song is lovely. I've just finished watching Sex Drive with some no name actors but that didn't matter because it was pretty good. Of course, there was a love story and the two characters admit they are in love with one another and this song plays.. isn't that just wonderful? Why can't it ever happen like that? Like.. it would be so much easier for girls if when they were kissing a guy, a sweet melody played to cue to them that yes, this is your leading man. For example, if I were kissing a guy and "Tell that Mick He Just Made My List of Things To Do Today" came on -"Let's play this game called "where you catch fire", I wouldn't piss to put you out" - I would know I was swapping spit with Satan. And I wish I could hear my internal thoughts, like Carrie Bradshaw on Sex & the City. It would make this whole blogging process a lot more intimate. How about when I'm driving in the car and I stare longingly out the window? It would be nice to have some self-reflective ballad playing, like "Dare You To Move" by Switchfoot or "Lift Me Up" by Kate Voegele. Music is a powerful indication of someone's mood, feeling, the atmosphere... I'm just waiting for something and I'm not sure what it is. It isn't necessarily love or happiness or fulfillment or rock hard abs.. maybe it's a combination of all four. Maybe I just need some continuity.. some feeling of contentment. Sigh. If my life were a movie, here is how it would be and all the songs to go with it:

Okay, some of this is serious and some of it is not but you get the point. Some parts of my life are so Hollywood already that this just makes sense. Or maybe my exhaustion is catching up with me. Regardless, some musical encouragement would make life a whole lot more interesting.
