crazy…

Gnarls Barkley

Crazy

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my
mind
There was something so pleasant about that phase.
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space

And when you’re out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn’t because I didn’t know enough
I just knew too much

Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Probably

And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that’s my only advice
Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,
Ha ha ha bless your soul
You really think you’re in control

Well, I think you’re crazy
I think you’re crazy
I think you’re crazy
Just like me

My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it’s no coincidence I’ve come
And I can die when I’m done

Maybe I’m crazy
Maybe you’re crazy
Maybe we’re crazy
Probably

**i wish i can be crazy and without a care more often.
being a goody-goody can be boring and can lead to early onset midlife crisis.

**i wish i had it in me to just act as i want to and not
think about what others will think about me, it drives me crazy.

**i wish i can be crazy-courageous and not be safe and
scared all the time.

**i thank God that i found the perfect man who has just
enough craziness in him to understand the craziness in me…which i often don’t
understand myself…

**i am grateful that i know how it feels to be crazy in
love.

**i miss the crazy days spent with my barkada, when life
was still simple and uncomplicated.

**i miss my mom and her crazy invented words…

**i just love watching my baby girl do her crazy antics.

**i hate politics and politicians. simply crazy.

**i just love and appreciate the fact that my God is
crazy enough to love and forgive the sinner that i am, over and over and over
again.

bug

As part of hubby’s bday celebration, after having dinner at chef ‘d angelo’s, we watched the movie “bug”. it starred ashley judd, harry connick jr., and michael shannon. It is based on a novel and play about a lonely girl who lives in a dingy oklahoma motel room and a creepy ex military spewing off conspiracy theories every chance he gets. this is such an intense film from the man who gave us “the exorcist” eons ago, william friedkin. michael shannon reprises his role in the play as peter evans, the ex soldier who is convinced that the government used him as a petri dish and implanted bugs under his skin as part of a top secret government experiment. he gives a compelling performance as a delusional man who really believes that bugs are literally crawling and living in his body. he exhibits enough vulnerability that makes you believe that he is a good, sane man victimized by the government, yet exudes  dark force as evidenced by spurts of violence, either inflicted
on himself or on others. ashley judd is such a revelation in this movie! i have always liked her, from the serious action/drama: double jeopardy, high crimes and twisted to the cutesy wootsie movie someone like you. i just like her… her face, her acting. in this movie, she’s not dolled up and yet you can still see how pretty she is. she gives so much emotion in the way she delivers her lines, her acting lets you know how it feels to be a simple-minded separated woman who lost her child in a grocery store 10 years ago and now feels that she has nothing to live for and no one to claim as her own. a desparate, sad woman who’d give anything to keep the first relationship she’d had in years.

i know not everyone will agree, but i loved this movie. they talked a lot, and usually that is a big turn off for me, but this time, the emotions and the intensity that flows between these two people having a conversation was entertaining enough for me. this is such a powerful movie about loneliness, paranoia, and well, shared insanity i guess. did they really have bugs in their skin? was it all in their minds? you be the judge.

a simple creepy film with great acting. definitely worth watching.
