The Blog in Fairyland

I find comfort in words, I love to write and having been doing it for most of my life.

Newspapers, magazines, poems, this BLOG, anywhere my voice can be heard.

Understood, opinionated and used to persuade, entertain or inform.

But there is a big difference between words and actions.

Twitter, Facebook and all other social media sites have words and people take them way too seriously.

Will anyone remember your tweet in a year from now?

While I was scrolling through my timeline this morning, one of my followers was going in on this TL, apparently subtweeting someone she was mad/jealous of, and I mean, doing the most. All of the "she's nothing, I'm better." "You can be big and bad on twitter f*** you", names and comparisons galore.

The thing is, is that going to affect that other girls life?

Is she going to go slit her wrist somewhere?

And what if she is crazy enough to do something like that or a bigger event happens because of words?

Do you "win"?

Is this generations poor use of grammar, opinionated blabber and ill fused propaganda enough to put a twinge in people's days or potentially ruin life's?

Sticks and stones may break bones but words should never hurt.

Are you going to leave a mark of your legacy on your facebook status?

Words like these are useless, and people hype the life of words that never pull through.

Instead of tweeting or posting about living that life, or doing this and that, starting drama and ending the already subdued standard of life, why not just DO IT.

When all is said and done, more is always said than done.

Oh.

Love this video =]

The Times.

or has all the music decimated over the years?

I know we can't compare what we have now to decades ago but have the insulting, demeaning verses of raps integrated into our sex driven, love lacking r&b lyrics ruined the essence of true rhythm and blues?

Singing along :

Doing my two step and head nod:

Song has been on my mind forever!

At least three times a DAY

Seems to creep into our thoughts, our conversations and our regrets.

It doesn't have to. Life happened. Now live the rest before it passes you by.

The studded spike cuff though...

If it were three rows longer would be perfect!

I feel like I'm in a Beyonce musical when I watch this video

Rick Ross paints pictures when he raps.

Yes, this big black fellow

With an oversized tatted body and gold chains as cliche as can be is the most precise, literate and elaborate artists when he raps.

Painting pictures and curving mountains as he poetically flows along with the beat.

I've discovered there are many rap styles,

The Preacher :

Telling the story in a way that applies the lesson to everyday life. (Nas, Common, Andre 300, Jay Z etc)

The Teacher : Breaking it down to you, so that you understand what is being said and feeling the emotion that comes along. (Wale, J.Cole, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Big Krit, Kanye West)

The Painter : Describing, things, people, feelings and places so elaborately you can do nothing but feel and be taken to where he is going, on his journey for how many bars (Nas, Rick Ross, Young Jeezy, Dom Kennedy, Theophilus London Wiz Khalifa)
