ALANIS MORISSETTE - Ironic

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn't it ironic... don't you think

(chorus)

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well, isn't this nice."
And isn't it ironic ... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
A little too ironic.. and yeah I really do think...

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

[indonesiamembaca] Taman Bacaan Masyarakat

Taman Bacaan Masyarakat Catatan yang tertinggal namun patut untuk disimak. Perjuangan Membangun Budaya Membaca dan Menulis Oleh : Virgina Veryastuti Negeri ini semakin terpuruk setiap harinya, ketika semua yang diinginkan dapat diraih dengan mudah alias serba instant, masyarakat tak lagi menyukai sebuah proses yang membutuhkan waktu lebih lama. Mulai dari pemrosesan makanan hingga budaya belajar dapat dilakukan secara instant. Membuat generasi muda tak lagi mau belajar apalagi membaca, sebuah ancaman serius bagi masa depan sebuah bangsa. Jakarta (21/2) Dalam sebuah acara diskusi pengantar literasi yang bertajuk : Pengalaman Komunitas Basis Membangun Budaya Membaca dan Menulis Berbasis Perpustakaan bertempat di Perpustakaan Diknas, Siti Nuraini ketua harian Family Education Series (FEDus) mengungkapkan bahwa "Wajah anak bangsa saat ini begitu mengkhawatirkan, menurut data diknas tahun 2004-2005, sekitar setengah dari 85 juta jumlah anak Indonesia tidak bersekolah. Dan perin...

THE WORLD I KNOW..today!

"In generosity and helping others, be like a river. In compassion and grace, be like the sun. In concealing other's faults, be like the night. In anger and fury, be like dead. In modesty and humility, be like the earth. In tolerance, be like the sea. Either appear as you are, or be as you appear." (Mevlana Rumi) CAFE PERDIEM.. not CARPE DIEM Fuck all the system, fuck all the religions. Fuck allbut MONEY . I don't mind to fool the moslems withtwisted, manipulated and that one sided fucking news. I will do anything possible if it can raise theMONEY. I don't care about blasphemy to Christian's creed as long as it can turn into MONEY. That is why I print the Gospel of Judas and sell theda Vinci code books, Gramedia said. bahkan seorang teman ku pernah menyebut seluruh media mainstream di Indonesia lebih percaya pada adagium BAD NEWS IS GOOD NEWS . hari ini informasi, berita, dan produk media (mainstream) di belahan dunia manapun adalah komoditas. kalaupun ada y...

Bob Marley, Sang Pemantra Rasta Yusuf Arifin Kalau Jah (Tuhan) tidak memberiku lagu untuk aku nyanyikan, maka tak akan ada lagu yang bisa aku nyanyikan. (Bob Marley, mati dari bumi 11 Mei 1981) Gedung London Lyceum malam musim panas tahun 1975. Tanggalnya 18 dan 19 Juli. Konon di dua malam inilah Robert Nesta Marley, atau Bob Marley, tuntas memenuhi suratan nasibnya; menasbihkan dirinya sendiri menjadi pengkhotbah untuk kaumnya, kaum Rastafarian. Benar bahwa sejak sekitar akhir tahun 60an Bob Marley telah menjadi salah satu pengkhotbah paling fanatik kaum Rastafarian. Tetapi dua malam di gedung pertunjukan tua Inggris itu Bob Marley mencapai kesempurnaan yang hanya bisa diimpikan oleh banyak pemusik besar dunia, siapapun ia. Bob Marley mencapai titik ekstase transendental di atas panggung. Panggung, bagi pemusik, adalah altar untuk mencari ekstase transendental yang tak bisa mereka dapatkan di dunia yang materialistik. Pengganti altar gereja, saf-saf masjid, teras-teras candi atau ap...
