Illuminated Path - Beeple

Before I know it

I do not understand why
Why I would be put through so much grief
I don't understand why I am feeling this way
I know that I've put this all on myself
a sense of hopelessness has began to settle in
I don't know what is to become of me
It's becoming harder to breathe
Should I end it all and leave this world prematurely?
I don't think I could carry through with that idea
My mind tells me to carry on
but my soul is tired, the light is dimming
My heart beats fast, fear sets in
If I go I hope I go quickly
I'm yearning to see you again
Walk with you in all of your greatness
I yearn for your hug, it will rejuvenate my mind, body, and soul
Oh how much I want to go
and leave this Hell on Earth
but I think I should stay here and complete my task
For I will be with you before the day turns black
And I'll be glad that I chose to stay
because there is so much that I want to say

Hey diddle diddle, hes on the fiddle

Hey diddle diddle,
the Cats on the fiddle,
that Cow must be wired to the moon.
The little Dog barfed,
as we all had fun
and the Dish got clubbed with a Spoon...

Baptism of Christ, St. John Altarpiece - Giovanni Bellini

So, you need to understand that, it is part of life and you need to move on. Otherwise, one day you will wake up in life asking your ownself  - How do I got here?

The Background

In 2022, video will be the king of social media content. 82% of consumer internet traffic goes to video. This is 15 times what it was in 2017 – a trend that was impossible to predict. We’re reading less than ever and, instead, users want to watch as much content as possible. This is why TikTok is on the rise as Facebook goes into decline. So if you want to raise your social media game this year, it all comes down to making awesome videos

Definitions of Popular Culture

John Storey (Cultural Studies Professor) offers six different definitions of popular culture. It is

1. It is a culture that is widely favoured or liked.


2. It is whatever is left after you substracted "high culture."


3. It can be defined as commercial objects that are produced for mass consumption by non-discriminating consumers.


4. It is folk culture and is created by the people (authentic) as opposed to commercial enterprises.


5. It is partly imposed on by the dominant classes, but the subordinate classes decide what to keep or discard.


6. The distinction between "authentic" and "commercial" is blurred.

One Way

My face dry and burnt from the afternoon sun,
Facing toward forever.
Behind me, a world of pain and anguish,
One step forward, a solution.

They yell from below,
But their voices are trivial.
They didn't care then,
They don't care now.
Slowly breathing,
There's no turning back.
I let myself fly,
The wind on my side,
And soar from the peak of despair.

Falling into an endless ocean of darkness,
Into the pain, that no one bothered to notice.
Ripping the air,
Like a knife plunged deep,
A blur out the window,
To those who would cynically glance.
A waste of skin,
A waste of time,
A waste of life.

Blessed,
Sweet,
Pavement...

Shakespeare's effect on the Modern Man

Shakespeare's most famous play, Hamlet, exhibits the man's inner workings, being agonized by complex strife with himself and his own desires. 

It is a lurid event of post-renaissance drama in which psychology is articulated through brilliant poetry. 

Shakespeare articulated both to the high and low culture his existential vision of human frailty.

🎨✨ Art has the power to transform not just a canvas, but the world around us. Each stroke tells a story, each color evokes an emotion. Let's celebrate the creativity that inspires change and connects us all! #ArtMatters #CreativityUnleashed 🌍❤️
