Dear DA, I spoke a with my good friend DoodleFoxxy And thanks to her help I think the procrastination with my art has come to end. I will start making artwork like I used. I needed a boost like to get me back in the art mood.

Aside from that music plays a pretty large role in our life. It influences you on ideas, what other genres of music you like, possibly fashion and so on. Not to mention it can be a mood lifter, help you through rough times or gets you hyped and has you dancing either well or all goofy like.

When I think back to when I was 6 or so I grew up listening to hip-hop and rap. When the songs meant something, well some of them that was. As I got older my taste of music didn't really change until I was about 12. I go from that to punk, rock, screamo, metal music. (Yeah I had my goth phase in Germany.......Ashamed )

When I was 13-15 I listened to anime and dubstep music. I listened to songs that had a nice beat to it and what not. I gave up on rap and hip hop because those genres died when 2011 came in. Now I am 18 and listening to all the genres I have listed. But it thanks to my dad that is. 

He told me if I'm gonna listen to music then I gotta make sure I understand and that theres a meaning to the song. Now theres nothing wrong if a song doesn't have meaning to it. But it's different it sends a pretty sick message. I don't listen to most pop, rap and hip hop songs because they send out some pretty stupid messages.

I really don't get how people enjoy auto tuned out voices where the artist is barely saying anything. Or if not that lyrics that for the past 5 years have said nothing but "Me and homies gonna get high as fuck while making shit music and fuck bitches and get money!!" That's what you're gonna hear from mainstream rap. Or another fantasy relationship from taylor swift or Demi levato in a sour mood.

Do I hold anything against music artists? Mmmmm not really. I could say that they're the reason all this messed up shit when it's not really them. I mean they're influencing the wrong shit and sending out some pretty shit messages but it doesn't matter to them unless they get paid. 

When I was you I thought like a emo thug with a crazy taste in clothes thinking life sucked and the only way it'd be better is I was some shit image who did a whole bunch of stupid publicity stuff. Now I see that that's not a image I want nor do I even desire in the slightest.

Not only was it people that shaped me, but it was also music. I hope this journey helps me as well. Oh well that's it for now. Good night everyone!
