[Jepoy]

Naa na na VIDEO and Out Is Through oi. Dugay na.

[north_star]

my favorites are Ought to Know, Head Over Feet, Uninvited, and Unsent. used to really like her. na usab na man iya image karon. but that's okay. i guess it's a sign that she has matured.

don't know much about her love life.

she's actually engaged to ryan reynolds, katong guy na nagdala sa blade trinity ug van wilder na movie. what's interesting about them is that they got to know each other and met for the first time through online chatting. here are some pics of them:





aren't they sweet? and isn't he hot? :P

Wa lang... I guess I don't listen much to "happy" singers, if you know what I mean. I think she's content with her life now, but in JLP she was very troubled... it makes listening to her very interesting.

*farts*

i noticed that with her new songs. before she used to be the angry and depressed alanis. right now she seems to be happy and contented. ikaw ba naman makakita na ug uyab, di ba happy man jud tanan. two of her new songs called everything and knees of my bees are dedicated to ryan. :P

ayos jud kaayo alanis bai! 'head over feet' nindot jud kaayo. hehehe! maka-relate ta ba!

head over feet is a great classic, one of her best songs. i just love the harmonica in it.

Naa na na VIDEO and Out Is Through oi. Dugay na.

mao ba? wala lagi na gi-news sa iya official site. ga-visit man ko every now and then kay ganahan ko mubasa sa iya diary. i like the way she expresses her thought and how she connectes with her fans even through the internet. bag-o lang ko kabasa sa latest niya na diary entry for february 27. :P

[size=9px]27th february 2005

an't sleep to save my soul.
and not only would i like to save my soul, i would really, really love to sleep. (although, now that i type this, there is no real saving to be done, and this middle of the night awakening can only promise evolution for my soul--which is what i really want--if not bags under my eyes).

so...

i awoke with rage. it is often a waker.

rage toward what looks like others, but is ultimately at myself for how often i withhold from people my true experience, like a good catholic, well-socialized girl.

and then i am left with my typewriter and journal and songs to speak the truth.

and while i LOVE (really love) that form of expression, i realize that i am ready to take my level of truth speaking (which i do admit, is at times really high) outside of the songwriting process to a whole other level.

how to go about this...

one of my best friends on the planet sat with me this week and said to me so simply and purely: "are there any things you are withholding from me?"

i was floored and touched and scared.

floored because i have never had anyone ask me that outrightly.

touched because it spoke to how much he loves our relationship,

and scared because i wasn't sure i trusted myself to a) come up with anything and b) if i did, communicate it in a way that wouldn't be too "blame-y" and c) wasn't totally sure--although he is a very feedback taking soul--that it would land on non-reactionary ears.

so...

i shared a few things, he shared a few things with me, we felt informed and closer, to be sure. and had a few good laughs too.

i think that something like that would only happen if both people were really up for it, and if it was in a climate of trust and maturity (ie: i am pulled to write "don't try this with anyone whom may not be open to feedback, nor if there is an attack-blame quality to what you're sharing")

i was just blown away at what it opened in me, and struck by how much i withhold in my day to day life with the many people i meet.

is it really my journal, coaches and therapists and songs who hear and get the truly unadulterated (and sometimes embarrassing) truth from me?

and more importantly, is there enough time to write 5 songs for each person i have withheld from, record them, hand them to each person and run away?

i know that there is a great challenge for myself brewing underneath those ponderings, albe-them somewhat humorous.

i find myself inspired to speak a little more authentically about my fear, or my disappointment (yikes, i've never liked to admit my disappointment), or all those human not-so-proud of things now, it's as though my conversation with my friend loosened something in my gut.

and i think i woke up to have that really sink in.

thanks for reading.

g-night.


love,

alanis


ps: i also know that this may have something to do with the GREATEST 5rhythms dancing and processing that happened at a retreat i did this week.

i feel IN my body and connected to humans again in a way i've not felt in many years. i'll write more about that soon.[/size]

I love the MTV Unplugged album. Super kaayo. Murag naa ra siya nag-concert sa balay. Hehe, ipakusog gyud nako ang volume kay saputon ko sa amo silingan magvideoke ug Aegis....

i like her songs--raw angst.

head over feet
everything--the best as yet

her latest songs off the so called chaos album are great. most fans were a little concerned about how alanis' lyrical direction turned into a more positive inclination, something very different from her jagged little pill days. i guess one of the main reasons why the latest album came out as such was because she is in love. :P

count me in...hehehe

i can be an asshole of the grandest kind
I can withhold like it's going out of style
I can be the moodiest baby and you've
never met anyone
Who is as negative as I am sometimes

I am the wisest woman you've ever met
I am the kindest soul with whom you've
connected
i have the bravest heart that you've ever
seen and you've never met anyone
Who is as positive as I am sometimes

you see everything you see every part
you see all my light and you love my dark
you dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't
relate
And you're still here

i blame everyone else & not my own
partaking
my passive aggressive-ness can be
devastating
I'm terrified and mistrusting and you've
never met anyone
Who is as closed down as I am
sometimes

you see everything you see every part
you see all my light and you love my dark
you dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't
relate
And you're still here

What I resist persists and speaks
louder than i know
