Remember the Daze
Remember the Daze (originally titled The Beautiful Ordinary) is a 2007 drama film released in theaters in April 2008. The film was directed by Jess Manafort. The plot of the movie has been described as "a glimpse into the teenage wasteland of suburbia 1999 that takes place over 24-hours, and the teenagers who make their way through the last day of high school in the last year of the past millennium."
The film has been selected as one of the eight films competing in the Narrative Competition at the 2007 Los Angeles Film Festival which took place June 21-July 1. This was the world premiere of the film.
In February 2008, the movie's title was changed from The Beautiful Ordinary. It was released in two theaters in LA, one in New York and one in Washington, D.C. on April 11, 2008 and was released on DVD on June 3, 2008. The movie was filmed primarily in Wilmington, North Carolina during May 2006.
Plot
The film takes place in a small suburban town in North Carolina in 1999. It's the last day of school and kids just want to have fun. That, at least, is the plan.

The Ordinary
by: A Life Dividedit gets me down just a little back too deep
I got two in the middle but I ain't free
don't count on me, doubt for me
and I'll give you a little piece of my own peace
I'm not around when you think you would need me
on the run when you please me to be
come stay with me, I gotta leave
the race is on I better get up on my feet
I let you down once again my head is weak
I got no spine so my back breaks every week
I cannot be the one to be
can't fight the devil in my mind it's my defeat
am I allowed to say whatever it means to me?
am I alright when everything is so obscene?
don't count on me, doubt for me
with a blink of an eye I'm off the scene
what you see in me
is nothing but a wishful dream
I'm less than what you thought of me
I'm the ordinary
what's inside of me
is average variety
there's nothing to descry in me
I am the ordinary
once again I left you incomplete
so afraid to stay here endlessly
don't dare to see inside of me
you might get scared if you take a look too deep
I'm on my way to final misery
still can't help myself I'm far too weak
I'm not what I'm supposed to be
