Riling up my ambition

I hope that if I ever do publish a book that it will be banned somewhere. I say this in the sense that if it is banned, it's because it's that moving and that revolutionary or rather the truth behind the words cannot be taken for what they are. Having something banned by you is amusingly honorable because society views your work as threatening, but banning it only makes people want to read it, hear it, and absorb it more.

I'm wary to rejoin AIM and Facebook, I like having no connection to the world except for my blog and my phone (even if that's hypocritical in itself and I cheat on MSN so I can speak with Lawrence).

But jumping out of these cages allowed me to jump into another. Another stalking magnet-twitter-has already sucked me in.

I was on www.mapthesoul.com, Epik High's self-made website and it really inspired me. I might have been obsessed with Big Bang, but Epik High, it's not even their music that I like, it's their life style. So many people sell out in the music industry when they make it big, but Epik High stays true. Since they give so much to the fans, even if I'm only a mini fan, I feel that I should buy their album and their book that they worked so hard on.

On another note, S.J. Maas is publishing Queen of Glass, a moving fantasy fiction piece which i had been reading for the past five years she's been updating on fictionpress, which is now taken off due to publication. Just knowing that there are people out there like Epik High, like S.J. Maas, like J.K. Rowling, and like Obama, who are treading on their own path, not a path already traveled, is awe-inspiring.

The famous and lesser known-but equally as important-all have the same agenda and rile up within me hope and ambition.

I think I may have found my motivation.

Oddly in the mood for rap.
