Music Review "Kid Cudi"

Kid Cudi is one of my favorite artist of the year. I did not know much about him except because of the song "Day N Night." My friends introduced him into me again about a month ago. I liked him from the start, my cousin is also very into him.
He has very motivating songs and they are usually slow, but he sometimes speaks quick. His genre is progressive rap which is a new thing. His album "Man on the Moon 2: Journey of Mr. Rager." is my favorite album right now. It used to be "Man on the Moon: The End of the Day" but he made a second album. And in this album his music is still the same style but, it is more fresh. His music inspires me in many ways.
He is a goofy fella. He really shows it in his videos. He is like a Bob Marley is to other people. I also like Bob Marley, but Kid Cudi is just newer. I know many people know about him, but not everyone knows all his songs. Knowing what he does and how he acts paints different pictures of his songs. I don't really care about an artist's life as long as their music is good. I'd hate it if he'd stop making new stuff. Of course there will be new ones later, but not the same.

Jay & Nick

Jay and Nick are basically the two main characters of the Great Gatsby. (Duhh Jay Gatsby-The Great Gatsby) Anyways, these two characters are neighbors in the story. Nick to me is just being used by Gatsby. Gatsby never called for Nick or even knew Nick until Jordan Baker told Gatsby that Nick was related to Daisy. After that he sent someone over to invite him to one of his parties.
Nick ended up in the party not knowing what to do, he was interested in this Gatsby that not everyone knew. Gatsby never told any of his plans to Nick he used Jordan Baker to tell him that he wants him to set up a Date? between the two. It would have been a little better if Gatsby at least told him face to face what his plans were.
Nick seems to become Jay's friend overnight. Inviting him for lunch and introducing him to his other friends. Also fakes. In the end of Chapter 5, Nick realizes that he is left out and decides to abandoned the two lovers. He knew at that moment that Gatsby had gotten what he wanted (one again) and he doesn't care about anybody else other than Daisy.
No one seems to know much about Gatsby except for his past with Daisy and were he went to school. What does Gatsby do other than throw parties? This is one of the reasons why I think Gatsby is just using Nick.

Winter Poem

The Season Winter
The Time of Jesus Christ's birth.
Santa is not real.

Christmas isn't about the present,
but of the past, that one event.
There is more to life than money,
It might be dark but soon to be sunny.
The world is covered in a blanket,
A huge white jacket.
The world shifts for a reason,
Different weather every season.
Winter has its holidays,
but everyone has their own ways.
Whatever religion one is,
from Jesus to Adonis.
Making the world a better place,
Once you die meet 'em face to face.
No one knows tomorrow,
Doesn't mean live in sorrow.
Christmas has its gets and gives,
Hoping for the life of relatives.
Use that brand new iPhone,
call that one that is alone.
Remember not to forget,
A dog is more than a pet.
Cherish those moments,
when you put the ornaments.
The end is near,
Don't worry have no fear.
We all come and go,
Just do it,
like Nike's logo.
