AlanisUtopia: 3 weeks ago · ViewThe wise old owl lived in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard
Why can’t we all be like this wise old bird?
——————————————–
I use to think this was something people would tell their children to keep quiet, but I realize there are many who will sit, watch and listen and not be the wiser. I think this is actually saying to pay attention and draw your own conclusions. It seems today everyone is spoon fed knowledge and accepts what they are told. I choose the latter. I will try to draw my own conclusions whenever possible, and this just might lead to something original or brilliant in the sense so that I may discover something new and one day, be one of the giants whose shoulders we all seem to stand upon.
Many owls will grow old, but few will be the wiser.In my opinion, empathy is the greatest wisdom of all. To feel for someone regardless of what they are feeling. Maybe for a moment you or they won’t fell alone, maybe for a moment I might gain some inside I never knew, maybe for a moment we might be able to help each other, maybe for a moment we could be what we are and find a common ground to stand upon.
At the very least we could be kind.Oddly enough I came to this thought when I was listening to ”That I would be Good.” from Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie when I first heard it in 2010. I never actually knew that album existed until then. It’s my favorite Alanis Song!!! It’s one of thoses songs you get in your head and can’t get out (who would want to). Sometimes I put it on repeat and just write for hours. Could anyone who heard this really be a bad person?

AlanisUtopia: 2 months, 4 weeks ago · ViewBe Heard…………………….it’s been a while………ok……………AlanisUtopia quote for 2/18/12: ……..”and I am fascinated by the spiritual man, I’m humbled by his humble nature”…………………… (that’s AM speaking/singing!)……..
funny, this is the Alanis’ song of this week for me. Hearing it the whole time.
Love this quote!
I don’t know if she uses ”humble” for the way of life or for the character, but both are right. We don’t need much to live, ’cause the most important is inside us. And one who know a lot don’t need to show other how much he knows.I like when she sings ”Do I stress you out?” @socrates82000 also missed in our group.

AlanisUtopia: 4 months, 4 weeks ago · ViewFeel Seen………………..ok………………AlanisUtopia 12/20/11 Quote : ”I’ve got one hand in my pocket ….And the other one is giving a high five”……………..
Well, having one hand in my pocket is my dark side. The difficult and negative one. The moments when I wanna be in my shell, hidden. Trying to understand the world. Giving a high five, is when I forget a little bit of how things are so difficult sometimes, relax and smile and keep on going. Is that ok? See you soon.
Sometimes wanting to be hidden and in a shell can be productive in terms of contemplation. If that is your ”dark side”, your dark side is much better than the dark sides of many people. Your comment abbout the ”high five” is definitely ok! Au Revoir!

AlanisUtopia: 5 months ago · ViewBe Heard…………………ok………………..AlanisUtopia 12/18/11 Quote : ”I’d have to give up knowing and give up being right……..You inadvertent hero, you angel in disguise”………..
I know perfectly about ”givee up knowing”. But I still didn´t find the track. When I knew a lot, which means, know a little bit of everything, I was totally excluded from my friends because I wasn´t supposed ”normal” as they used to call. I didn´t have nobody to talk and knowledge was part of me. When I decied to stop knowing for while then you become boring and no interesting anymore. Today I am so proud I know I wanna know more but I really do wanna share . Knowledge is something that scares people.
By, ”didn’t find the track”, do you mean that you want to know what Alanis song the quote is from? The title is : ”Madness”. It’s one of the extra songs from her, ”Flavors of Entanglement” album/CD. If some people excluded you because you weren’t (in their opinions), ”normal”, then those people were wrong to do that. Some people form groups (cliques) and act like snobs. they’re wrong to do that. I like posting to you, and I admire your replies. You’re absolutely right when you say that knowledge scares people. Some people get scared of things that they shouldn’t be scared of……..AND…..they don’t get scared of things that they should be concerned about. humanity, presently, isn’t very Wise because many people don’t seek or value Wisdom. If people seek Wisdom and try to acquire Wisdom….they’ll find it and acquire it.
Well, Back on track I mean. Now I wet back to my original place. Studying, improving my mind, my thoughts. Maybe not as biologist anymore because unemployment is struggling with Europe. But I am more aware about politicians, what I really wasn´t before and Spirituality is something that I am also improving, so, improving myself. I know about the song. One of my favorites. And the lyric is right when it says ”And now I see the madness in me is brought in the presence of you” because when you´re sorrounded my ignorant people you really think you´re crazy, and this was my situation before. But then we know we cannot change what´s deep inside us, so I am what I am and not what I am supposed to be. Thanks for the compliments about my answers. I just want share great things.
Studying and improving one’s mind are worthwhile endeavors. You choose those actions Wisely! I try to do those things everyday. I hope that you’re able to work as a biologist as soon as possible. politicians? ugh. I didn’t like typing that word. As for Spirituality, it’s a blessing to type the word Spirituality! See, I typed it again! I wonder what Alanis meant by writing that line of ”Madness” that you quoted….. Maybe people can change what’s deep inside them…..at least I hope that they’ll change things that are negative, and create new things that are positive……..You’re very welcome to the compliments! You deserve them! You want to share great things, and you do it well!
Yes, unfortunatelly politicians. In my original country I didn´t know anything about them and didn´t wanna. Only that they steal money from heaven to Hell. But in the country where I am now, is much smaller so people have more contact with politicians who goes to our houses asking for votes. I never saw it before. So, I am closer to this subject than I would like to. Do you know anything about the F* harmonica? Really, I think they were kidding or messing with us. Never heard about the winner…Well, the Harmonica thing just came into my mind because it´s like politicians promises in election year. ”WE WILL GIVE AN HARMONICA FOR THOSE WHO LEAVE A COMMENT IN THE WEBSITE UNTIL X DATE” Then, exactly the politicians, they changed the date, desapeared with the Harmonica and we never more heard anything from them. I think Alanis is ready to be President.
What is your oringinal country? There are many countries nowadays that are becoming more like your original country…… What is your new country? I live in Southwest Florida, USA. As for the Harmonica contest, I think that people were encouraged to leave a comment and possibly be picked to win an Alanis autographed harmonica (just one person would win). Sometimes Alanis’ staff that operates the website (the new one and the old one), are a bit delayed in producing results for contests or new ”write Alanis” topics and prizes. I don’t think that Alanis is even aware that the harmonica contest hasn’t been resolved yet. She’s probably very busy with her album and her family………
I am originally from Brazil. Living in Ireland since 2009. Maybe Alanis doesn´t know but their delay in producing something or up dating the website, causes an effect in her image. This is what I think. We don´t really wanna know who´s behind the website, if it´s john, Betsy or Mary. We wanna news, interactivity, express and answers from them also. Alanis has so much that I feel that this delay makes us lose ideas and content. Florida, Nice. I´ve been to Disney. Miami, Orlando. Great place. I like the American accent. Irish accent is so hard to get.
Brasil, from what I’ve heard, is a wonderful place. My sister went to Ireland back in 1987 and still raves about it. Yes, the operators of the websiite can sometimes be very late in updating or following through with a contest or the write Alanis feature. Yes, Florida is wonderful. I’ve lived here on and of for about 14 years. The American accent varies from region to region of the USA. The Irish accent(when speaking English) may have been strongly influenced by the Gaelic language.

AlanisUtopia: 5 months ago · ViewSpeak Out……………..ok…………….AlanisUtopia 12/17/11 Quote : ”The fire trucks are coming up around the bend”……
Don´t know what she wanted to say about the fire trucks, but sometimes they´re so needed inside myself to cool down my mind.
My guess is that Alanis meant that for whomever is ”learning” (”You Learn” is the song), the fire trucks represent something/someone that will put out the fire (personal crisis), and be a resolution.
Great!!! Maybe the fire truck coming around the bend is the new knowledge coming to our mind from inconsciousness.
That would be a wonderful fire truck! Just hook it up to the fire hydrant and put out the fire!

AlanisUtopia: 5 months ago · ViewFeel Seen………….ok……………AlanisUtopia quote for 12/14/11……………”And all I need now is intellectual intercourse…..a soul to dig the hole much deeper”……….
This is what I am talking about. Somebody to challenge and be challenge. No competitions. But it´s a pitty that we cannot dig Alanis deeper. She´s probably such a wonderful person, full of experience, who can write thousands of books and songs and write and express endeless. Imagine the amount of things she lived, experienced? It´s amazing. This is why sometimes I become ”angry” that this website is not even 0,1% of everything she can share. OMG, 5 Minutes with her, talking. Amazing.
Agreed. Alanis has been very autobiographical over the years and is very open about her life and feelings. She’s easier to dig than most other celebrities. I agree that she’s probably a wonderful person. She’s a very expressive artist (music, stage, film, and painting/sketching). She has been all over the World. I think that the website is better than the old one and can be a Good venue for Alanis Fans.
I was thinking why so many artists to be good need to be devastated by drugs or problems with the family. Alanis is a completely exception. She grew with a very close family, loving her twin brother so much, there´s a lovely picture of her kissing her granny on the cheek, she´s so grounded. I am so happy I like Alanis and not Kourtney Love for exemple. Eminem is a great composer, had problems with wife, mom. Pink had problems, Amy Whinehouse, although I think she was a great great person, with no problem with people but with her self. But I am so glad I have Alanis as an icon
Alanis has had some adversity to overcome, and she’s done it well. According to her, like you say, her family life was positive. She was subjected to external factors that were difficult. She’s accomplished a lot in her life!

AlanisUtopia: 5 months, 1 week ago · ViewBe Heard………….ok………12/11/11 AlanisUtopia quote of the day is : ”We’d gather around all in a room…..fasten our belts engage in dialogue…….we’d all slow down rest without guilt”…………
This is really Utopia. Nowadays she should sing this new version for this song: ”We don´t gather around, all in a different room, we don´t mind about seatbelts, and don´t tell me that facebook and twitter is called ”dialogue”… teenagers drink and drive as faster as they can and don´t rest in peace, they probably killed somebody and will carry this guilt”. It´s so cruel version, But just to show how really is an UTOPIA to sit and talk honestly with somebody, looking into their eyes, not afraid fo the feelings.
You’re right. Nowadays, humanity is getting lost and is going in a negative direction. The ”Utopia” that was written about so many years ago, has not been realized. What we can do to get closer to it is to have pieces of Utopia in our interactions with people and form positive bonds. As more people contribute positively, a movement could be created. Good people need to bond as efficiently or more efficiently than bad people…….then maybe Utopia can be achieved………
