Ordinary Man
I was unprepared for fame
Then everybody knew my name
No more lonely nights, it's all for you
I have travelled many miles
I've seen tears and I've seen smiles
Just remember that it's all for you
Don't forget me as the colours fade
When the lights go down, it's just an empty stage
Okay
Yes, I've been a bad guy
Been higher than the blue sky
And the truth is I don't wanna die an ordinary man
I've made grown men cry
Don't know why I'm still alive
Yes, the truth is I don't wanna die an ordinary man
Many times I've lost control
They tried to kill my soul
Just remember I'm still here for you
I don't wanna say goodbye
When I do, you'll be all right
After all, I did it all for you
Don't forget me as the colours fade
When the lights go down, it's just an empty stage
Okay
Yes, I've been a bad guy
Been higher than the blue sky
And the truth is I don't wanna die an ordinary man
I've made grown men cry
Don't know why I'm still alive
Yes, the truth is I don't wanna die an ordinary man
Yes, I've been a bad guy
Been higher than the blue sky
And the truth is I don't wanna die an ordinary man
I've made grown men cry
Don't know why I'm still alive
Yes, the truth is I don't wanna die an ordinary man

"Personality - We have a saying, 'He stands in his own light' He can't see his real self because of his personality."

"Ordinary man is at the mercy of his organism - at the mercy of the instinctive centre; impressions received by the senses, of appetites, inertia, disease - at the mercy of the feelings; associations connected with people and places past and present, likes and dislikes, fear and anxiety - at the mercy of the mind; imagination, day-dreaming, suggestibility."

Friday, May 12: Ozzy Osbourne, “Goodbye”
Ordinary Man was greeted with a lot of hype and nearly as many strong reviews when it first came out, but once the initial buzz about Ozzy Osbourne working with a big name producer who corralled a band of all-stars wore off, we were ultimately left with yet another mediocre album, and one that was arguably not as good as the (actually slightly underrated) Kevin Churko-era Ozzy records. It wasn’t all bad, but it suffered from the same slickness that permeated every Ozzman record over the past 30 years, and despite claims in the press releases there was a similarly consistent lack of inspiration, to say nothing of the apparent manipulation of the vocals in the mix. “Goodbye” was one of the better tracks, thanks largely to a concluding workout by the assembled crew of producer/ guitarist Andrew Watt, Duff McKagan and Chad Smith. Ozzy sounded engaged and generally happy to be making a record, which was really all we could ask of him. In some ways it was the platonic ideal for an Ozzy song circa 2020, as it was Sabbathy in feel while also a little faster and more contemporary, and “Goodbye” went down easily without feeling awkward or pandering.

ME GUSTARIA DECIR QUE TODO VA INCREIBLE, PERO NO ES ASI, SIEMPRE PIENSO EN MUCHAS COSAS A LA VEZ , UNAS REALMENTE IMPORTANTES Y OTRAS COMPLETAMENTE IRRELEVANTES, PERO NUNCA PUEDO ESTAR EN PAZ.
LA ESCUELA VA BIEN, ESTOY CONOCIENDO VARIAS PERSONAS, HASTA AHORA TODAS SON MUY LINDAS Y ESO ES COOL.
MIS MATERIAS SON LA MAYORIA MUY BONITAS, MENOS LAS QUE TRATAN DE PROGRAMAS TECNOLOGICOS, ME DESESPERAN.
HASTA AHORA TODO ES MUY REPENTINO, AUNQUE NO DE CIERTA MANERA PORQUE SE PREVIAMENTE QUE OCURRIRA, ES DECIR NO COMO TAL DE QUE FORMA PERO SON SUCESOS PREVISTOS, POR ASI DECIRLO.
AUN NO LOGRO QUITARME ESE SENTIMIENTO DE SER INSERVIBLE, TRATANDOSE DE TODO LO QUE INTENTO O QUIERO LOGRAR, ES UNA GRAN BURBUJA DE DESESPERACION, PERO A SU VEZ EN REALIDAD YO NO HAGO NADA PARA CAMBIAR, ASI SOLO ME QUEDA DECIR QUE ME ODIO.
VOLVI A SUBIR MUCHO DE PESO, PUES ME HE ESTADO ALIMENTANDO SUMAMENTE MAL, Y YO SUBO TAN FACIL DE PESO, INTENTO LEVANTARME TEMPRANO PARA HACER EJERCICIO PERO NO PUEDO DESPERTAR, ME SIENTO MUY CANSADA TODAS LAS MAÑANAS.

“Such a charmed life
Nothing really mattered
Everything was yours to take
One mistake, and
Everything fell apart, everything changed
Sitting there, bleeding out, isn't it strange?”
- Ordinary Man by Johnathan Coulton
