....Coming up on this blog?
I'll be sharing the things I'm the most passionate about with you, the viewer at home. And the two things I'm the most passionate about, are....: Music & Art. They're seriously two of the best things in life. At least, that's my opinion. There's just so many great things about both of them. But don't get it twisted, I do know & realize, that music IS art. I know.
Now, when it comes to music... I'm listening to it twenty-four-seven. I mean, I even listen to it when I'm asleep. Some people take sleeping pills, or natural herbal supplements to help them sleep, because it simply helps them relax. Well, for me, music is that sleeping pill, or that herbal remedy. It's just so amazing. 98% of the time, you'll catch me listening to hip hop. Don't get it twisted, though. I listen to real hip hop. Not this "top 40" bullshit, the media plays off as hip hop. But, that's just my opinion. And, well, we all know I've always got something to say, about anything & everything. For me, music is my therapy. But, I'm sure it's that way for a lot of people. Artists, just like fans, share a common bond, a common interest. So when it comes to music, there's always something to say about it. If you find a good band, or an ill emcee.... Don't hold that shit back, spread the word! Introduce people to what you're listening to. Don't be a snob! And, just for the record... Actually buy an album once in awhile. Help support the artist. If you're at a show, buy a t-shirt or something. Just drop a few bucks, to help that person or group out.... So, that's that. Let's move on to the next subject, shall we?
Art! Oh, where to begin with art? I have such a high appreciation for art. Not only because I'm an artist, but because it's always changing. Always progressing. And there's so many forms of art. It's amazing. I'm an artist in a few ways. I'm a graffiti artist, and a writer. Both of which, I'm very passionate about. Because in my opinion, I believe graffiti is the rawest, purest form of art there is. Because "graffiti" has been around, for centuries. Look at the writing on the walls. When cave-men were around. It's graffiti. And we're still bombing walls today, it's just a LOT different. Because there's been centuries of progression. Different tools, difference techniques, more colors, more styles, etc. Now, that's just my opinion on one form of art. But, I have a great appreciation for all types of art. Painting, music, drawing, writing, dancing, etc. It's all amazing, in my opinion. Because people can take away so much from art....
...For example, a painter can do a piece, and maybe he'll describe what he's feeling in his painting. But, when you look at it, you envision something COMPLETELY different! And in my opinion, that in itself is amazing. But that doesn't apply just to painting. It's basically applied to any medium of art. And that's what makes it beautiful. Because you're able to interpret it in anyway you want. And that's what I love about writing poetry so much. Because, I might be writing what I'm really feeling... or I could be writing in metaphors, which I tend to do quite a bit. But, it's like... I can let someone read a piece of mine, and they could have it mean whatever they want. And I love that.
But in short, that's just a little bit about me, and what I love. So, stay tuned, and maybe you'll learn a thing or two. I'll be posting up stuff about various different artists. Music and painters alike. Some of my favorites, will be passed on to you, my friends.
Respect,
-Jest.
