A CREATIVE MIND TAKES SOME CREATIVE THINKING TO CREATE A CREATIVE SONG
Okay, this is my first post. Let's see how this goes.
Now first off, I want to say that this post was originally written on Monday, May 11th, 2009. (A day after mother's day) I'll post it on here because it is the only current post I have - sadly. But I'll be working on some more for y'alls eventually ;) Well without further ado, here it is!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well once again, mother's day has thrown itself around us only for it to pass without us getting any chances to say thanks to our moms for being such hard workers all the time. What i'm saying is this day really went by so fast, I never had any chance to say how great she really is. We really owe it to them. So Thanks Mom!
Anyways, on with my first blog and currently only blog; and this is only because I am literally very busy nowadays, it's hard for me to keep track on where things have been moving on from here. You see if you were me right now, you would be asking yourself: "why the f*** am I spending my time writing this stupid thing if I could be off studying for tests...and pretty soon...exams?" Although, I truly enjoy writing seeing how it's the only way that makes me feel smart :) And the people reading are my only hopes when it comes to writing things like these. So props y'all, or 'you'.
Now onto my rant for today.
Just recently I spent a couple hours surfing the web in desperate need of songs with positive, or enlighten messages out there; 'cause a lot of you know, that's merely impossible now. As i was searching, I stumbled across a very influencing song that really spoke out it's true meaning on what the study of society has shown to each one of us. The song is called "Handlebars" by the Flobots.
(You can check out the music video here -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuK2A1ZqoWs)
Now i know some of you have not heard it before or may say it's nothing new, seeing how it was released in early 2008. But just like you, I've never heard of this group before, as they are pretty much considered 'new rap-hop'. I got hooked to this song just by hearing the first verse, which repeats a least a couple times throughout the song. 'I can ride a bike with no handlebars'. It in fact motivates you into thinking about the meanings behind this song before it's end.
Now take some time to look at the lyrics (http://www.metrolyrics.com/handlebars-lyrics-flobots.html)
...
Are they interesting or what?
The meaning behind this song is about the idea that we have so much incredible potential as human beings to be destructive or to be creative. In other words, we have the power to take over the world with respect and generosity or just completely destroy what we have without asking any explanations. We don't have to hide our struggle anymore. We can express it in every way possible. And we have that potential to do so. I clearly position myself on the creative side of this song because i agree of the fact that we can do these things, it's just a matter of time and perseverance.
But the drastic on-going struggle of surviving these deadly crisis', fights and protests is factually unbearable. We have come to terms on the fact that creativity on sustaining good in life is the only thing striving us to seek out ambition in the world. The ideas in this song are used 'to oppress and destroy people' as we become more aware of the fact that we see these situations as being 'beautiful and tragic at the same time'.
You see, when it come to encouraging and helping sustaining the appetite for military innovation, we frequently ignore the authenticity of world hunger and the importance it has on the rest of the world; we see it as not being treated equally with the same sincerity. Often people are obliged to recall the state of many undeveloped countries suffering from world hunger when us developed power houses are presenting little effort, if any, to provide support and relief.
This is why we are currently living on the border line of assisting the planet into being creative, rather then just sitting back and let nature take control. We look at what's going on and the most words a philosopher or person with an intellectual mind will ever say is that maybe it's time for a change; maybe it's time to start thinking creative and start getting the shit done needed for survival for a good and proper lifestyle. And then, we can move on from there.
With that being said, this song really expresses some very important info, which we people never got a full perspective to view from a different stand point. If taking into thought on the understanding of this song, it opens our minds into enhancing our capability of structuring the world into what we believe in. We our full on creative potential. Now is our time to use it.
So for the future, let's try being less destructive and more creative. Alright?
Until next time.

Tragically, I just happened to write this blog on the day a famous king of pop passes away. Wow, very ironic. As Jackson once said; "in a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe."
