10 Think-Pieces About Kanye West
Salon.com

1. Is Kanye West a Post-Modern icon?

Kanye West is a multi-faceted artist: writer, producer, designer, director. He's making big moves in a high-profile setting. Artistic moves, I think, because I don't really get them. I feel like I can't trust that.

2. Is Kanye West Just Sort of Crazy?

Trust, am I right? Can I trust this man? He keeps saying really stupid things, like that Bill Cosby is innocent. Like, he's wrong.

3. Kanye West: Family Man?

I mean, Kanye West is married now, and like, obsessed with his wife. He attacked Wiz Khalifa on Twitter, mostly just because he thought Wiz Khalifa was talking about Kim Kardashian. I think he really only did that because of the Kim Kardashian thing. Like, Wiz Khalifa said "KK" one time on Twitter. I think he was referring to weed, because he's Wiz Khalifa or whatever. But Kanye thought it was about Kim Kardashian. Not everything's about Kim, Kanye.

4. Kanye West's Hot Wife: Not Defined By Kanye

Everything's about Kim. What an amazing businesswoman. Can you believe it? Although she was still in the sphere of Hollywood before her sex tape was released, she sued when her sex tape was released, and made a bunch of money. Everything's downhill from there, with the TV show, and the clothing lines, and the perfume. It makes sense that Kanye would love her, because she's cooler than Kanye. Don't forget that.

5. Kanye West: Liar?

Okay, so Kanye also tweeted that he's 53 million dollars in debt, which just doesn't seem true, especially because he just released a new album that'll make him a lot of money. Is he lying to us? I'm not sure. I'm so confused about this man.

6. Kanye West: Our Enemy

Okay, remember how in 2009 he walked up and told Taylor Swift she didn't deserve that award at the VMAs? That was crazy. Also, he just released controversial lyrics about how Taylor Swift owed him sex. Taylor Swift, the American icon. I, for one, am peeved. This makes me think he's my enemy.

7. Kanye West: His New Album is Sort of Weird

Kanye's new album has all these religious themes, but in his new release of an older song, Wolves, Kanye raps about the Virgin Mary meeting Joseph at the club. Seems kind of disjointed from some of the other lyrics on the album, which discuss the Kanye "persona" and address his clinical depression. Excuse my french, Kanye, but W-T-F?

8. Fashion by Kanye West is a Think-Piece, Probably

Does everybody know about Kanye's fashion line? With the really expensive clothes? Here, I'll show you.

They're really expensive. The point is, his clothes don't really do that well with the public. I get the idea that some fashion designers look down on him. What I'm saying is that his clothes work more as a performance piece than a line of wearable clothing. In fact, he frequently collaborates with performance artist Vanessa Beecroft in releasing his new collections. It's easy to see how Vanessa inspires Kanye's work.

Do you see it? He's making art with his clothes. What a guy. What a crazy gu.

9. Kanye West: My Friends Don't Like Him

I like Kanye West. I like that song that he has, Power. I like his other songs, too. He has many albums. My friends don't deny his many albums. They know that it's a fact that he has released music over the years. Still, they do not share my enthusiasm. Sometimes when we go out to lunch, I pull out my computer and begin blasting one of his many albums. They tell me to stop. What do I do?

10. I Don't Know if My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is the Best Kanye Album

Pitchfork gave My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy a 10. I didn't even know they did that. Gold Digger isn't even on that album.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
