a couple of months ago, i read this one article about an interview with an upcoming local solo artist. in it, another article (or maybe it was a forum/blog discussion) was discussed regarding how "regular" people complain so much on how they have no time to accommodate their "creativity" as much as the already famous and established artists, name-dropping beyonce. it was argued how beyonce also has 24 hours within a day, which is the same exact amount of time all of us have, but it was mentioned that she can do all those things she does. and so, as it was said, if beyonce can do it, then we should stop complaining so much and just do it as well.
it kind of hit me when i finished reading the article and i got all riled up with that thought and had this vision on how when i get home, i'm just gonna start writing these amazing songs. it has a point, you know.
but then, when i got home, i felt hungry and thought maybe i should eat something first. then i looked at my fridge and i had no ready-to-eat meals. so i had to cook. but after i wash the cooking pot first. so i got going on washing it. and while doing so, my head was still filled with these song ideas that i've been humming all day. and how i just can't wait to lay down the tracks. of course that will be after i finish washing that thing, and cooking my meal and eating and how it will take me atleast 90 minutes to do all those stuff.
and that was when i had this counter-hit. i just thought to myself, (or i could've sworn i said it out loud).."DOES BEYONCE WASH THE COOKING POT? AND THE DISHES? DOES BEYONCE COOK HER OWN MEALS, EVERYDAY? DOES BEYONCE DO THE LAUNDRY? CLEAN THE APARTMENT (probably mansion on her part, which is a lot harder)? WASH HER CAR? SCRUB THE BATHROOM TILES? MAKE HER BED? TAKE OUT THE GARBAGE?" no, i don't think so. or at least not on a regular basis, which is EVERYDAY for most of us.
so that article turned out to be a piece of shit, and the forum discussion, too, all trying to defend princess privileges and shit like that. so, yea.
