Eggers Response

Egger's uses these type of universal concepts in order to connect with more readers. He also is so brutally honest that one can feel slightly embarrassed, as though these are the bare thoughts of our own, the enjoyment of it coming from our realized separation from this public information. I'm the type of person that can watch a movie or some reality television show, someone do something really ridiculous to the point that it's tough for me to watch and I change the channel, as though I actually know that person. Same idea. We are entertained because someones is saying aloud the things we keep secret, and hold sacred for fear of rejection or judgement from society.

Tuesday's Response / Random Rant titled, "Unlimited"

   I think that in my essays I hopefully have connected with more than just those who are like me. I guess the hardest thing for me to identify within my own writing is separating who I am from who I'd like to be, or strive to be--but that's down to the nitty gritty of things though. On the basis, I'm a very inspired, imaginative, and visual person and would like to at least inspire others by my story, those who would be able to interpret it into something meaningful to their own. Most of my writing goes into my music, and expressing myself on page is quite different in its un-limitations. Let me explain. When I say "un-limitations" I hyphen it because it isn't really a word. Limitations; "an act or instance of limiting", doesn't really get us any closer to our explanation either but we can define "limit". Limit; "something that bounds, restrains, or confines."The word "un" simply means to remove, so going back to my original statement--most of my writing goes into my music, and expressing myself on page is quite different in how it removes the bounds of my writing.

   As song writers, and artists, we are bound by the music in which we are writing for, the drum claps and melodies sculpted and molded for each word, our syllables customized for every instrument. As an artist, when writing I often feel confound to the genre in which I am identified with, and the content expected from me. I often feel confound to my own privacy, for once I feel the need of expression filters are unnecessary, the same way a woman wouldn't put on makeup before she goes to sleep. I am bound by my own ideas in which to bring my expressions to life, visually. I am bound by many circumstances that would take much more page than warranted so I digress, but I guess these bounds have came to be the an arena that I have called home. I am a lion in captivity, and a blank page without music is a land I am not ready for, not yet. There are too many "un-limitations", and I have yet to have broken all the rules here in captivity.
