Wow

Well well well... So it has been about 5 months from my last post where I proposed a theoretical commitment to posting consistently on blogger. Obviously I have done no such thing, but I felt the sudden urge to rededicate potential free time in the future (potential = undoubted) to the art of blogging. There is so much that goes through my mind every day and I can no longer resist the temptation to keep a safe haven of my thoughts. Of course, these ideas I ponder upon are in so way shape or form a breakthrough idea that nobody else has discovered, but the simple act of writing "my life" down, errr typing I guess =) ... will help clarify what I stand for/my likings/my faults/etc., this I am certain of. After writing that last sentence, I have decided that grammer will not be a forte of this blog, rather my conscience is going to be the main contributing factor. I am extremely excited knowing there is endless potential in recording MY history on here, but I will have to pace myself so I don't get too personal right off the bat. Discussing the people close to me is a goal of mine here so I need to refrain from giving out information that is too personal as I have no clue who will want to read this. Regarding this, I am not promoting myself to become a well-known blogger or anything, but if there is something I write that is thought provoking/inspiring to someone else, I would love to hear their opinion on the topic (which I believe can be shared via comments on posts?).

Also, from now on I am going to refer to any reader as YOU, whether it is myself, my mother, some rando from Russia, etc. unless stated otherwise. I think this underlying basis will help me generalize the things I wish to say.

Okay, so you are probably wondering what this sudden urge of mine was that I so desperately needed to record, regardless of this painfully descriptive introduction I felt I needed to create to explain what I see coming from this blog. The topic is not uncommon, but it has never been so intriguing and applicable to me. Here's the scene: I am watching a YouTube video of a song called, "Whenever" by an artist named Mike Stacks when I see a comment along the lines of "this guy is better than Eminem". This is not what caught my eye though. A reply to this comment said, "Better than eminem lol...... not even Mac Miller is better than him and hes dope as fuck". I don't like the language he used, but immediately I thought of why Mac Miller could not be compared to Eminem (both of which are amazing entertainers in my opinion). What I came up with was that people instantaneously apply the title of "good" to someone who is obviously talented, but to be considered good without skill requires an immense amount of subjective appeal. I know people who are crazily obsessed with Slim Shady simply because he is one of the best hip-hop artists of our generation. On the other hand, many others love terrible rappers (*cough* Lil' Wayne *cough*) due to the way they present themselves. Going back to the comment, the replier obviously implies that Eminem is one of the best in the industry, then he goes on to say that even his opinion of Mac Miller doesn't outweigh Eminem. Skill cannot be debated whereas impression can. Unskilled artists can potentially have a larger fan base over skilled artists if they express entertaining material to a large audience. My point is not coming across at all as I expected, which, on top of the time it has taken to write this post, has made me very frustrated. Trust me, I learned something from that stupid comment! More posts to come soon!!!!!!!
