I have been listening a lot to Nicki Minaj lately. I feel like I should ashamed of that statement alone, but I'm not. Not at all actually. Her songs are stock full of really witty limericks and word play that I really appreciate. Granted there are times when phrases like "sprinkle holy water on the vampire [ire ire]" happen but. . . but nothing I love that part. It just makes me feel uncomfortable when she brings up punting cunts and things. . . Ehhh. . . Regardless, I feel like a dungeon dragon rurr rurr. Keep up the good work and I'll keep listening. Don't you judge me reader(s)! About the pink wig. . .
So I find myself from time to time riding public transportation. Now, I've ridden public transportation in some of the largest cities of the word: Tokyo, London, San Francisco and even Los Angeles. Its not quite the same. At one point I found myself on a bus with nine to eleven individuals whom might be referred to as African Americans. Sounds like the start of a bad porno to me. Well, unless you're into that sort of thing. Its fine, I won't judge I had a phase. Anyway, back to topic. Now, I don't myself above anyone who would need to use public transportation by any means, in fact its one of my biggest opportunities to people watch, a favorite hobby of mine. It is times like that though I find myself in thought. Dangerous habit I know. This is where that path leads:
Sometime in my life, I plan of achieving a few great works. A book series I mentioned, also a symphony and mayhaps more. I want the works to be able to reach as many people as possible. Along those lines, I need to know these people as well. People who don't like the same music. People who don't read the same books. People who don't enjoy the same cocktails. People who don't care to go to Taco Bell three times a week. . . shut up. Should I be that crazy person who just starts up conversations with people who don't really want to talk to you? Should I be that uncle? You know the one. Would they even hear my symphony? Beyond it being played in the background of a jewelry commercial. Would they read my book (series)? Would it matter? Or should I simply get to know different people for the sake of learning that perspective. I can go on further with this thought pattern but I fear I wouldn't make my case any clearer. Yup that's what goes on in my head whilst on the bus. shrugs Maybe I should go listen to Les Mis or something. . .
Sorry for that extended break. Maybe I'll even be back today. If you're lucky!
For those of you who don't know who Nicki Minaj is this will give you a good idea:
