Totally Fucked (Original Broadway Cast Recording/2006)

MELCHIOR
There’s a moment you know you’re fucked
Not an inch more room to self-destruct
No more moves
oh yeah, the dead-end zone
Man, you just can’t call your soul your own

OTTO (Spoken)
But the thing that makes you really jump
Is that the weirdest shit is still to come
You can ask yourself: ‘Hey, what have I done’?
You’re just a fly ? the little guys, they kill for fun

Billy Joel – Vienna

Beatrix is a Billy Joel fan and this is her favorite song.

It came on in the car today and it has been a while since I listened to the lyrics. About a minute in I realized why she likes it so much… It is written for her.

Frank Turner – ‘Do One’

Some people are just going to hate you
No matter what you do
So don’t waste your time trying to change their minds
Just be a better you

It took me years to learn this
(More than I’d like to admit)
But through my ups and downs I figured one thing out:
Don’t take anyone’s shit

It’s Not Just Shein: Why Are ALL Your Clothes Worse Now? – YouTube

“I want you to think about how many new pieces of clothing you bought last year. If you’re anything like the average American, it was around 68. In 1980 that number was 12. But wait, it gets crazier. In the ’80s, Americans spent about 7% of their annual income on clothes. Today, it’s just 3%. We spend half as much, even though we’re buying five times more.”

I found this video enlightening.
