"Kool aid and frozen pizza, it's a work of art, I'm not talkin Mona Lisa." This lyric from one of my favorite songs by rapper Mac Miller has turned into the title of my first attempt at a blog. I love music, the lyrics, the beats, the passion of the artist. I love reading lyrics without the music, breaking into the soul of the artist, treating the words like the poetry that they are. After this, hearing the song as a whole is a whole new experience. All you want to do is close your eyes, kick back, and take in the art. Going back to the song lyric from my title, although the words seem simple, I think they hold a powerful message in the background. I interpret this lyric to mean that art doesn't need to be completely understood or popular to be considered worthwhile, it's more about portraying beauty in a unique way that allows an escape from the mundane. That's what music does for me. It is the purest release I can imagine, my drug of choice.
Besides music, I enjoy drawing, cruising on my longboard, watching movies, riding my horses, and hanging out with friends and family. So, now that you have a bit of insight into my interests, enjoy the kool aid and frozen pizza!
Lindsey,
ReplyDeleteYou know, I haven't read a lot of poetry, but I think I would enjoy it. I am definitely a fan of pretty writing :) I have actually been a Biology major for the past two and a half years, but now I'm beyond burnt out on Bio and its dear friend Chemistry! So, anything opposite of Bio is really intriguing at this point in my life!
Lindsey,
ReplyDeleteWhew! That really makes me feel much better about recent change of mind. That story reminds me that I had a similar thought cross my mind recently. I was thinking about whether I'd rather operate on an injured animal or write a story about it. And there was absolutely no question in my mind; writing a story about it sounded infinitely better! So that's when I figured I was definitely over the Veterinarian business :)
