ugly fish face

Damn... what is going on in my life? Not only is my brain broken, but a few days ago a found a crack in one of my glasses. Then a few days ago a found a strange bump on the back of my head (and it's still there). Then this morning I discovered a crack in the bottom of my coffee pot. No more real coffee until I buy a whole new coffee maker. And I just tried to put my new duvet cover and sheets on my bed, only to find that because I can't read the packages, I bought two duvet covers (and one was $650, which was the price of the sheets I bought before so I thought they were sheets). Now I have three duvet covers and one set of sheets. I can't bring anything ELSE back to that store. They're already pissed off enough at me for returning two sets of speakers. So I'm stuck with an expensive, boring, gold duvet cover AND I have to go find some more sheets tonight. Damn it! My life is so dumb lately. Considering taking a long walk off a short pier.

Duran Duran were one of the first groups to gain international success based on the popularity of their videos and might somehow seem like a bit of a boyband and too mainstream because of this. However, they did write their own music, and this song is one of their best works (in my opinion), which proves that they were (are?) much more than just a bunch of pretty boys running around in their underwear on the beach.

"Ordinary World" by Duran Duran

Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue.
Thought I heard you talking softly.
I turned on the lights, the TV, and the radio.
Still I can't escape the ghost of you.

What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some say.
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away.

But I won't cry for yesterday.
There's an ordinary world somehow I have to find.
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world I will learn to survive.

Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say,
"Pride will tear us both apart."
Well, now pride's gone out the window, 'cross the rooftops, run away.
Left me in the vacuum of my heart.

What is happening to me?
Crazy, some say.
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away.

But I won't cry for yesterday.
There's an ordinary world somehow I have to find.
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world I will learn to survive.

Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed.
Fear today, forgot tomorrow.
Ooh, here beside the news of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk.

And I don't cry for yesterday.
There's an ordinary world somehow I have to find.
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world I will learn to survive.

Every world is my world.
I will learn to survive.
Any world is my world.
I will learn to survive.
