I love Alanis
I've been really into Alanis forever. She is just so relatable. There's one song on her newest cd, so called chaos that really is just amazing. It speaks volumes about people and also things I think each of us find ourselves doing.
Excuses
Why no one will help me I"m too dumb, I'm too smart
They'll not understand me, I'm lonely they'll hate me
There is not enough time its too hard to help me
God wants me to work, no resting no lazy
These excuses how they've served me so well
They've kept me safe they've kept me stuck
They've kept me locked in my own cell
I'm too far from home it takes far too much energy
I cannot afford to no one will ever see me
These excuses how they've served me so well
They've kept me safe they've kept me stuck
They've kept me locked in my own cell
These excuses how they're so familiar
They've kept me blocked they've kept me small
They've kept me safe insde my shell
Bringing these into the light shakes their foundation and clears my sight
Now my imagination is the only thing that limits the bar and its rise to the heights
No one can have it all see I have to they want me to and
I can't let them down I will never be happy
These excuses how they've served me so well
They've kept me safe they've kept me stuck
They've kept me locked in my own cell
These excuses how thy're so familiar
They've kept me blocked they've kept me small
They've kept me safe insde my shell
Its just a great thing to think about. People are constantly putting up excuses, for everything. I hightly recommend so called chaos to anyone. There's such a wide variety of songs on there and they're amazing songs. Songs that make you think about societal norms and just the habits of people. Alanis is really good that way I find. So today we had a snow day. It was beautiful. I've been sick the past few days, well a week. It kind of peaked this weekend with a fever and some vomiting due to the crazy amount of times and the fervor with which I cough. Its pretty disturbing. But...the fever has been broken, so there's some progress there. I have a Dr's appointment tomorrow. Its with Dr Botten. He's gorgeous. I'll tell ya, any excuse to have that man put his hands up my shirt, I'll take it! Today has been a pretty lazy day for the most part. Getting caught up on some reading. I'm reading about this guy, who used to be a very important player with the World Bank. The thing I'm reading is for my IDS class, and its a book by this guy, and he's giving his take on globalization. ITs really interesting to read because he's writing what the world bank and IMF thought were important then he mentions what economic policies he was fighting for when he was there. Anyway, its pretty cool. I'm also reading I dreamed of Africa by Kuki Gallman. I got it for Christmas and I figure since I'm going there and I literally always have dreamed of Africa, it was the perfect time to read it. The more I'm getting through it, the more excited I am about going. I mean...I"m going to Africa. Its just so surreal sometimes. Also, the more I read, the more similarities I see between myself and the author, then this whole mindset sinks in that I'm going to meet her. I'm going to her dream spot in Kenya to stay for a little while. This whole idea is just so foreign to me. But I have to realize that this si soon going to be my reality.
