CREATIVITY

... or should i say, the lack thereof, when it comes to a great number of ultimately unprofitable people in this less-becoming, modern society. i cant speak for everyone, but i know that i want to be successful. NOT a celebrity. i am an artist. im not famous, but thats okay, because i know WHO I AM and what creative path i choose to follow every single day. now dont get me wrong, SOME publicity IS sanctioned and plays a vital role in becoming a successful individual. but FAME (especially the arrogant, self-proclaimed type) itself, to so many people, actually has a NEGATIVE effect on potentially becoming as successful as possible. am i the only one who notices this? c'mon people, i know many of you can agree.

its like this... ill give you an example of what i mean; me n my friend joe were kickin it at my house earlier on, watching music videos. (and thats why i felt absolutely compelled to make that preceding post) it was sooooooooo daaaaammmmmmnnnnnnn annoooyyyyyyinnnngggg. VIDEO AFTER VIDEO on MTV jams, all you saw was "rappers" throwing money in the air, talking about how much money they want you to think they have, GLOATING at all of their so-called "accomplishments" or the halfway decent, still probably ugly cars they drive... SHIT! it makes me siiiiiickk. instead of PROVING themselves as rappers or artists, and INSTEAD of promoting an actual struggle and hard work, they would have you to think that they are actually SOMEBODY. half of them i have never even heard of a day in my life, and i know that they dont have REAL money! GOD PLLEEEEAAAASSEEE HELP!! the time and money spent on the useless music videos that we actually see, COULD BE diverted into something positive, and in turn, those "rappers" could be famous, or SUCCESSFUL for all the RIGHT reasons. unfortunately, this is the EXACT OPPOSITE thought pattern for many of our CELEBRITIES or even "HEROES" that people turn to when searching for success.

we need to search within OURSELVES in order to find the TRUE meaning of success. think about it, you know its true.

and this, my fellow peers, is what you call some REAL SHIT.

peace.
