A Salute To Kanye West

The most intriguing man in the world.

A Salute To Kanye West
Jamie McCarthy

Let's be real. You wish you were Kanye.

There is no more followed, loved and hated celebrity. Some people consider him larger than the President of the United States.

Kanye West is quite possibly the most intriguing man in the world.

The man oozes bravado, gives no regard for anyone who dislikes him, and is tantalizing in doing just that. He is poetic, brash and innovative. He will go to any distance to be successful. A musical genius with risky business measures, Kanye, along with Kim K, is always doing something new.

Many people also consider Kanye one of the most ignorant people in the world. This is a fair belief, and Kanye knows people don't care for some of the things he does. He just nods his head and says, "I'll do it anyways." That's a power move. In Kanye's words, "I'm the Lebron of rhyme."

Despite all of this, Kanye is still a family man. He would do anything for Kim and North (still a risky move on the name). Was he in debt? Maybe $72 million in debt. It's all for his girls though, there is nothing more important. His girls -- but not Saint because "Saint is baby Ye," and there is no denying that -- are his world.

Kanye is popular on every front, too.

Controversy? Let's talk about the "Famous" music video. Who does that? This man just singlehandedly embarrassed 10 of the most famous people in this country. Again, who does that?

The top of the rap game? Every artist wants to work on a song with Kanye. Drake, Chance, Jay-Z, throw in Kid Cudi for old times sake. If you're in a song with Kanye, it is going viral. His verses have passion, and if you didn't know that he loved himself, listen to "I Love Kanye."

Fashion? Everyone has a friend who owns a "I Feel Like Pablo" shirt. If you know someone with Yeezy's, you are always questioning if they are fake. It's always Yeezy Season.

But the best part might just be his music. The Life of Pablo has everything. With great featured artists and many different musical angles, Kanye outdid himself. "Ultralight Beam," "Famous," "Waves," take your pick. Remember the old sounds of "Homecoming," "Power" and "Good Life." He is so far ahead of the game.

It's Kanye West's world, and we're just living in it. Keep doing you, Ye.

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.

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.
