Back to why I started this
Unbeknown (sp?) to Bryan Espiritu, his recent (like 21 moments ago, says FB) status has re-inspired me. Every now and then you get a kick in the pants from someone who usually doesn’t realize they were swinging in your direction. His status says, and I quote “Bryan ‘be.’ Espiritu is sick of all these random bullshit blogs gettin started by everyone. When does it get embarrassing that your content is just as easily found elsewhere?”
My immediate reaction was “oh shit, I hope he ain’t talkin’ about me!” ‘ Cause that would really suck if he was. Like it would really suck because I consider Bryan (even though I don’t know him) to be a seriously creative mind with a no-holds-barred type of attitude. He just lets his chaos go in a very descriptive, detailed and organized fashion. I dig his style because he doesn’t front, but instead sticks to what’s real to him. I can rate that.
Sooo what I’m sayin’ is I began this blog to channel my creative freedom and to dig into myself more to find what I know is already there. No bullshit. No fillers. Just the realness. Sometimes I’m not feeling so “talented” and maybe post up random stuff or come and say random things, but fuck it. If my shit ends up reading like a book then that’s what it’ll have to be. I always loved books anyway so it really only makes sense I continue to do it this way.
Ok?!
See you at the top.
Peace.
I’m struggling with this blog-trend thing to. I’m reading all these people’s blogs thinking “man I hope this fool doesn’t actually think they can write?!” or “damn do you really think you’re opinion is THAT profound?!” Now my innocent blog feels tacky, like wearing those checkered middle eastern scarves this year like they’re STILL the BUSINESS. But you gotta stick to doing you. My blog is for me mostly so I can go back to something I wrote months ago and say Okay that’s how I felt. All these people doing the trendy posts, I wonder if their blog is going to mean anything to them a year from now or a week from now for that matter. Meh but the more people write the better so I guess it’s all good.
I agree with you too. I post random ish too. Just to vent…I mean its nice to express your opinion…its not all the time that others think the way you do…so its your choice/chance to say what you feel.
Keep it up.
