The Real Price of Being Brilliant.

Hello friends and stumblers. Welcome to my first "official" post. I stumbled on to this video today and began to ask myself one question. Can you be a truly brilliant artist without be dramatically inept in some other portion of your genetic make-up? Watch the video and you will see what I mean:



I guess what  I would really like to know is how many of these people are looked over because they are just too far gone. Nathaniel Ayers (the subject of the 2009 film The Soloist) serves as a prime example. Had he not be discovered by Steven M. Lopez, he would still be just another crazy musician living on the streets. 


What are your thoughts?

The Man, Behind the Man, Behind the Man

As you can see from the brief description provided at the top of this page, this will be yet another place for you to read the mindless dribble of a young man who is willing to embarrass himself with brash and uneducated ramblings whilst showing no real proof that he has ever received any education in the English language.

...and he's funny looking to boot.
