For The Artist In U

I was watching one of my favorite (even though I don't have many) TV shows "White Collar" about 2 weeks ago. In one of the episodes, this phrase popped up in a few lines...

"Every man is an artist into his own fortune"

Before I dig into my memory and explain the direction my mind decided to go turbo on (gift & a curse)...check this...

................................................

I never thought much of fortune or the word of fortune until the word artist was put into the same sentence. A little more than a year ago I was at my most possible low. To cut a long story short, out of motivation from the music I was listening to at the time (J-Dilla, Joe Budden and Charles Hamilton)...I downloaded the FL Studio 7 production program (a.k.a. Fruity Loops). That was the best thing to ever happen in my life. It's a way to vent out my emotion, stress and creative ideas. It's also something that I can succeed in and also finally make my mother proud of me instead of the child hood disappointments I created.

That earlier statement is sooo ill. I mean, I've always been a little artist in my own mind. My child-hood drawings I use to do damn near every day.

Wait....lol....now that I think about it...

As a child I would hear songs from movies, video games and etc....and then beat-box my own little beat over the song. Hah...even when I was a child I was sampling music.....that is extremely TRILL.

Rather if it was luck or if it was just meant to be....I got my fortune...or for what I consider my fortune. And I got it from being an artist.

That was a nice overthinking session, wouldn't you say? lol
Later, maine.

Trendy Ignorance

So I'm on twitter yesterday, talking to a few people and pushing the project out and then I start seeing these #ThingsThatBrokePeopleDo trendy topic comments pop up. Like really? And some of the comments that I read were pointing at the idea that every person that is "broke" is an idiot or a crack-head.

Each person on this Earth lives a life, some harder than others, some easier. A person shouldn't be judged on what's in there wallet.

You know what, I got one for you....

#ThingsThatBrokePeopleDo ...make better music than "rich people".
Whatever, we're all just people. Your dollar isn't no different than mine. Apparently my mind is.

The Important Element Of Music

"Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you will find that it is to the soul what the water bath is to the body." Oliver Wendell Holmes

This explains to a science in my opinion what is "true" music. Not the radio-money-push-disorientated-chaos they label as music. If it doesn't come from the soul, it's a mere imitation.

It's like having some Beats By Dr.Dre headphones that cost $300, then you find some headphones that "look" like the B.B.D.D's but are only $80. You plug them in and the quality isn't as great....that's the reason why there so cheap....the importance of the product isn't there. Sort of like the soul that is suppose to be into the songs on the radio...it isn't there. If music from the radio of today was to be turn into a human body, a heart would not come standard.

The Alleged Lovers

"Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence."-H. L. Mencken

True if you think of it.
When "in love" your mind reacts different compared to how you would normally carry yourself when your single...or just not at that stage with that certain some one.

One thing that gets me is when these "lovers" who are actually "lusters" go completely nuts on Valentine's Day. If your truly in love, there shouldn't be a difference in the way you treat your lover on that certain day compared to all the other previous days. What?...you love him or her extra because it's V-Day?

No I'm not single so open-mind-haters you can stop right there.
I'm just calling a spade a spade.
