Until now.
To be totally honest with all of you, there is no better thing in the world than an entire package of double stuf oreos by your side. i don't care if you think i'm wrong. i know what's right in this world and makes sense, and i know what doesn't.
oreos pushed me through the entire writing process of writing the record.
call me a heavy gal, but its true. if i didnt have them i would probably have one less reason to live.
anyway

Alive With the Glory of Track
And I'm just a manager.
And I have a super thin jacket for 40 degree weather for the next three hours. AWESOME.

Wow, Somebody's Up Early!
And it's me! Hurray!
But no, really this is actually unusual for me. I'm usually up at like 10:00 on weekends, but the plague of school is always after me I guess.

things i don't understand
- love at first sight
- people who cut themselves
- why it was hotter in winter than in spring this year
- why facebook started to suck as soon as i got one
- why people question things that don't need to be questioned (Here's looking at you, science and religion.)
- people who try to bring other people down
- people who hide their emotions
- people who hide their emotions for the sake of the approval of others
- people who care
- people who don't care
- why modern music is popular
- why we still have the lottery if the country is broke
- how to find north, south, east, and west from any point on the earth without a compass
- why people don't buy music anymore
- people who are prime advocates for douchebaggery
- homophobes
- politics
- political jokes
- myself
8 posts in and you probably think i'm psycho!
let me explain myself.
I am. but in the best of ways. i'd consider myself really driven and passionate about everything in my life that i value or even have a slight opinion about. i'm not horribly concerned with the approval of the masses. nobody wants to be blatantly weird and outspoken i don't think, but as far as my dying for approval rating goes, i am not high on the scale.
this is why my group of friends functions so well. we are what we are and if you have a problem, fine! i don't associate with judgmental people! the true issue is that there are so few people like that. everybody wants a million people in their business and following their every move day to day. i don't. i am happy where i am, and if i have an opinion, i don't feel like i should need to contain myself just because not everyone on the planet is going to agree with me. that's fine. that's why i do music. that's why i'm me.

all i want is my name in lights. is that really too much to ask?
I don't want to die alone.
but really who does? not anyone i can think of. it's in the human nature to want other people to bear witness to your life. this means oh so much to me. no joke. my goal in life is to make sure that i am remembered for generations to come. i don't care what it is- if i have to revolutionize an industry or change the way people view the everyday- i will go to all lengths to do that. i respect the people who are satisfied with just a good family life where you impact the people thrust upon your life, but they love you unconditionally. when you have kids, and your kids have kids, and those kids have kids, when you aren't around anymore, will anyone really truly remember you back on Earth?
the chances are slim, i think. not to be cynical, but im a cynic a lot of times. i will make sure my goal is met.

What Would You Do if I Told You That I Loved You?
This is such a huge thing for me.
OH MY GOD.
When people my age try to throw the words "I Love You" at each other when they've been dating for two weeks, REALLY? when you are in your first year in high school, you do not... i repeat, DO NOT know what love is. you don't. really. so stop.
those three words launch you into a completely separate realm from other people in your situation. its not a term that you just throw around like its nothing. if you mean it, and you know it, say it. if you are just saying it to fit with the crowd, then you really need to rethink your life. i dont want to hate on anyone's decisions, but if you are going to say it, mean it. with all your heart. that is all.

new song. tokyo sways.
raise your glass for the couple of the century
when you look at us it seems like it was meant to be
but tokyo sways in a unified voice to your r.e.m.
i'm losing my religion to the falsified practice of your love
i hate how you know im right
i hate how the memory of you
reflects in everything i do
i tried to wash them away with every word i say
but it was no use
i looked temptation right in the face
and spat in every gift horse's eye
but im still left alone in the dust
just me and my friends, your lies

When Your Friends Act Weird And You Don't Know Why, What's a Guy To Do?
i don't know.

My Work Here Is Done
I finally finished writing my record. DAMN.
I have been writing my debut for almost THREE YEARS. The relief to be finished is crazy. But now even more exciting things are coming my way. I have to present my demo to a few people, record the rest, and then I take off into the unknown. Crazy to think about, but isn't that what I signed up for?

Bad Kids
I was up late last night watching Hip Hop POV and I was watching a Lil Wayne interview that I really enjoyed. Now, I'm not saying that I'm a die-hard Lil Wayne fan at all, because I'm really not. I think there are so many fresh new acts out there that deserve more attention than him- as a lyricist, he sounds tired.
But, back to the interview. He was saying that he recently started skateboarding, and found this whole new world and group of friends that he enjoys far more than his typical rap star life style. He loves his life as a rapper, (obviously, who wouldn't in his place?) but he says that there are so many cool underground kids that are just the best people. This made me think.
I know skaters. I'm not friends with them, but I know them by reputation and I think that there's a lot of appeal in the bad kids. Is there this whole other world of cool people that we all just don't know about? I think that when misunderstood people find each other and come together, it's a beautiful thing. Art is made. Life is made. And the skateboarder/badass is born.
It's hard for me to either raise up or slam the bad kids. Lady GaGa pretends to know them, but let's be honest, does she really know what's going on inside her gone-crazy Born This Way persona? Probably not. I don't know them either. But I wish I did.

What is A Censored Sunlight?
You didn't ask, but it's a fantastic question.
A Censored Sunlight is... well, me. Sort of. My name is Nick Malone. My age will go undisclosed for now- it doesn't really matter as long as you're getting something from the blog right? My musical project is called A Censored Sunlight. It's sort of a pseudonym for me, but it really just represents my vision- my perspective on life and how I put it across through music.
And that's my first art kid rant.
Anyway, Nick Malone is a songwriter, I'm a cynic, I'm a wishful thinker. But that's me. A Censored Sunlight, on the other hand is whatever you want it to be. I'm all about having my listeners interpret my music in their own way. I don't want to dictate my own meanings to you- I think the whole point of my musicianship is to make my listeners think instead of just sit there knowing the subject matter. I like dimension- layers and layers of stuff for you to think about. Like the Trident Layers of music.
But enough about me. I'll post about my music every once in a while, but this is just me and my journey to ultimate hipsterdom, and hopefully, my breakthrough moment in music. Enjoy.
