Being Less Mainstream Should be More Popular

HIPSTER HATERS LEAVE NOW. This blog post will get you up in arms and personally, I don't feel like playing host to a flame war. So anyways, I believe that the music industry is suffocating itself. These over produced, pop stars are what people crave now and the true musical talent is dying. I'm going to show you why you should be more hipster and listen to good music.

Musicals: The Combination of My Two Favorite Things

Last night, I finally saw the movie version of RENT. It made me think, "why did I hate musicals a few months ago?" They're the perfect combination of music, one of my major passions, and movies, something I am a fanatic about. The story is developed through the music, making the songs relevant to what I'm actually watching instead of some weird correlation the director thought would work in pre-production. I've also found that the plot to a musical easier to understand and remember though some would say that they are oversimplified or convoluted romps through fantasy situations. Some would also say that serious narratives can't take place within something based around a whimsical tune. To these people I say, you're wrong.


Thank you for reading my first real post on this blog, I think I've finally found what I'm going to use for it. Hopefully going to have biweekly updates starting soon. Check back for another update soon.

Is my life interesting?

So, I want to share my thoughts, but somehow I don't think people care enough to listen so I have a fundamental question, is my life interesting? Do I have something I can post about in length on daily basis? Maybe two to three times a week? I'm not sure. I know my micro information updates (ie. facebook, twitter) actually get some crowd appreciation based on likes and comments, but seriously, can I hold a reader's attention this long on a permanent basis and can I get a following? I would love to have a blog and post insightful and interesting things, but, do you care?
