Perfect Situation

A few months ago I was sitting on the floor of my bathroom listening to my ipod while my 2 little ones were taking a bath. Ethan and Jordyn where having a blast splashing and screaming while I was sitting on the floor with a pounding headache wishing that I could be anywhere but there. Basically I was feeling sorry for myself that this is what my life was. A dirty bathroom that needed to be cleaned. 2 other children that still needed help with homework and their showers. Dirty dishes scattered all over the kitchen patiently waiting for me to get around to them and a husband that would get home just in time to kiss the kids goodnight after all the hard work was done. From my vantage point on the fluffy carpet on the floor I was directly in front of the garden tub with a square privacy glass window above. The light filled bathroom reflected off of the darkly backlit window making it look like a portal into another dimension. As I was sitting there in my ipod induced coma the song "Perfect Situation" by Weezer came on. So while I sat there I dreamt up this crazy little music video to match my mood.

First off here is the song...

"Perfect Situation"
What's the deal with my brain?
Why am I so obviously insane?
In a perfect situation
I let love down the drain.
There's the pitch, slow and straight.
All I have to do is swing
and I'm a hero, but I'm a zero.

Hungry nights, once again
Now it's getting unbelievable.
'Cause I could not have it better,
But I just can't get no play
From the girls, all around
As they search the night for someone to hold onto.
And I just pass through...

Singing...Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh.
Singing...Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh.

Get your hands off the girl,
Can't you see that she belongs to me?
And I don't appreciate this excess company.
Though I can't satisfy all the needs she has
And so she starts to wander...
Can you blame her?

Singing...Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh.
Singing...Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh.

Tell me there's a logic out there
.Leading me to better prepare
For the day that something really special might come.
Tell me there's some hope for me.
I don't wanna be lonely
For the rest of my days on the earth.
Oh..!!
[solo]
Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh
.Singing...Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh.
Singing...Ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

So, basically here is the video. Same setup, Mom on the floor of the bathroom while kids are taking a bath wondering how life came to be like this when she looks up and sees the portal. She knows she should be happy with her life, but wonders what it would be like to be single and free and crazy. She glimpses this world through the portal and decides to venture inside. She slowly enters and begins to see all that she thinks that she has been missing out on and thinks that it is fun...for a while. Then the song turns and she finds herself trying to see back through to the other side of the portal because she is beginning to realize that she made a mistake. She stands there looking between this "exciting" life and the one she left behind and suddenly the panic of what she has done has set in and she begins to run back to the portal. She stands there and takes one last look before she enters where she finds her kids still playing wildly in the tub. With a renewed sense of purpose and happiness she decides to join her kids in the fun and splashes around with them realizing that this is where her true joy is.

Every time I hear that song I am reminded of my little music video and have to laugh. My little music video obviously isn't a literal translation of the song, but definitely matches the mood and the jest. What is the deal with my brain? Why am I so obviously insane?
