Writers Block

Writers Block

This is easily one of the most frustrating things I go through on a near daily bases. I'm not sure if its caused by actually not being able to come up with ideas of thinking of ideas but having so much doubt that they suck, you decide to trash them. Writers block to a writer is like a construction worker without tools. Sometimes it gets so frustrating you go on a writer rage and destroy everything you wrote, sometimes to the point where its not even salvageable. I believe your state of mind has a lot to do with this. If your not in a happy mood (which I rarely am) than you find it extremely hard to write fluently and about many topics, your limited to just your mind, your thoughts, your troubles. When your with people, you sort of get the "I don't give a fuck" attitude which is absolutely fantastic to write with. It gives you confidence, you get their opinions, and you keep a much more open mind then you otherwise would. Sadly, I'm not usually blessed with that gift. People ask me why I make depressing music...well music is basically a self reflection (at least thats how I view it). Like I said, their my thoughts, so if I put out a bunch of sad songs, I'm telling you whats been going through my head during that time, not just some made up story telling. With writers block, it seems like the stars have to align in order to get anything done. The beat has to be 100% perfect for you to like it, your lyrics have to be on point in order to even keep them and they will flow extremely smoothly. Stars aligning is not very common either, unfortunately. I have yet to find anything to help cure it aside from being around a bunch of friends to get your mind of shit. Some people get this confused with running out of ideas, but if you think about it... no one can actually "run out" of ideas. New ones are always coming and old ones are always going. Writers block is the decrease of new thoughts caused by lack of excitement or motivation. I have a lot of the same thoughts every day and that shows a lot in my music, I feel like they won't go away until I ran them dry so I continue to put those elements in my music. When music stops being fun, your music stops being fun. That seems to be the point where I'm at right now. Like I say, every problem comes with a solution

Favorite Movies

Favorite Movies

Someone asked me what my favorite movies were so I thought I might as well make a post about it. This is sort of hard for me since I'm a bit of a cinefile...but I'll give it a go. The first movie that comes to mind is Forgetting Sarah Marshal. I have watched this movie roughly...80 times? If I had to guess, I'm not exactly sure why I like it so much but thats probably my number one pick... Second would probably be the first half of Funny People. The second half gets really dark and isn't actually funny... but all the jokes and comedy in the first half is fucking hilarious. While on the topic of comedies, I feel like Zach and Miri Make a Porno is an honorable mention here. The title isn't exactly misleading but not exactly accurate either, watch it. You'll see what I mean. SuperBad is just a classic for me since Jonah Hill is probably my favorite actor next to Seth Rogan and Jason Segel. Im sure I am missing some movies in this genre as well, since there are so many...but another one of my favorites that aren't in the comedy genre would be American Gangster. Frank Lucas is so badass, I want to start selling drugs and killing people on the spot...sadly I know it won't happen. Law Abiding Citizen is a great movie too, some scenes remind me of stuff from the Saw Series, which happen to be some of my favorite horror movies along with Dead Silence, 13th Ghost, Insidious, and The Unborn (Not sure why its in there but the upside down possessed dead guy gets me every single time) Im sure I'm missing quite a few movies (Wrong Turn 2) in the horror genre but theres too many to think of off hand. Super Hero movies are next... This is also a tough one. The first one that comes to mind, even though Its not really a super hero movie is Kick-Ass. The first time I watched it, I wasn't really sure what to expect but it ended up being a fucking fantastic movie. I really like the original Spider-Man trilogy and the new movie ass well. The whole Dark Knight trilogy was great too, along with the X-Men trilogy and The 2 Iron man movies which are really high on my list as well. Im not that big of a fan of action movies but Shooter would be one of my favorites, that sniper rifle is just so robust...yummy. S.W.A.T. is another one of my favorites. One movie that I'm not exactly sure how to classify would be Scott Pilgram vs. The World because of how strangely fantastic it is. Thats all that I can really think of at the moment...wait...SHUTTER ISLAND! I'm not sure how I can forget such a mind fuck of a movie but I did...anyways, thats all I got for now. I hope I encouraged you to check out some of these movies if you never saw them! You won't be disappointed, I promise! - Big Papa

My Last 2 Days

My Last 2 Days

Though I'm quite sure no one really gives a shit or actually wants me to post anything, but I was really trying to get one done every day. The last 2 days, I had the keystone exams for school. I will start by saying fuck the math keystone, I failed the shit outa that bitch. The other ones I'm sure I did fine even though I didn't learn half of the material on them. Anyways, my daily schedule goes something like this - 1. Wake up 2. Complain about waking up 3. Drink tons of caffeine 4. Bitch about being tired 5. Watch 2 hours of youtube videos 6. Do school 7. Eat 8. Eat 9. Eat 10. Go to sleep. I've always been a night person so its extremely natural for me to go to sleep extremely late. Like 4 or 5 in the morning. This doesn't coincide well with getting up at 7 to go take exams that you can barely stay awake for. Each day after I got home from them, I went straight back to bed and woke up at 6 at night to rinse and repeat the process. I'm pretty worn down which isn't really uncommon but normally just not as bad. That has been the reason for my lack of posts. I won't be posting tomorrow either since I wont be home but maybe i'll just do 2 tonight, not like I have anything better to do besides sit on twitter and creep on instagram, thats right, follow me @BigPapaRevency    - Cuz I like it when you call me Big Papa.  If anyone has any topics they want my opinion on, feel free to pm me on twitter or fb or just leave it in the comments if your mobbin like that. - Revency
