LOL ... ok for those of you worried about regression and my mental stability ... here's the background ...
I am a huge Alanis fan. Been to see her 3 times, which is actually quite a feat for someone who lives in my part of the world! Last summer "Oughta Know" came on the radio while I was driving back from a weekend away. I was belting it out, feeling pretty good about my mental state when I got to the above mentioned line ^^^ and stopped. It got under my skin. I knew it shouldn't. I was "healthy" and "detached" and all those things I was spouting off about. So what did I do? I changed stations. And I didn't look back. I didn't dig at all, because I didn't like what I knew I would find.
Fast forward to the present ... happened to hear "Hand in my Pocket" just the other day on the radio and it rang true. So true. Smiled all the way through it. Then, just a little while later I heard "Oughta Know" ... and I waited for it ... and it didn't come. I didn't have that feeling ... it was just a song. No stirrings ... no uneasy buried crap.
So yeah, I was trying to be funny ... but I also meant it ... I don't feel like that anymore. Thank God!
Oh ... and a side note ... just realized yesterday that my bomb-iversary came and went and I didn't notice ... LOL ... January 21st ... just another day
Peace PEI
