Random Blogging my Friends

It's that time again! Blogging time... Now let me tell how much I don't know what to write about
today. I feel like I have a problem, one that needs to be treated. Maybe it's procrastination or maybe it is that these blogs sometimes get the best of me. This week's blog is supposed to be an analytical one so why not analyze myself first and what I have been doing lately. The biggest problem is that in a week we will be on break, woo! I feel as my mind is already on next week and that is no bueno. I
really can't wait to get through this week and go home for a while. Also, I am sure I am not the only one worried about the two essays due Wednesday especially since I know that not one person has been procrastinating... (cough, cough) I also have two midterms but I ain't no baby so it'll be a piece of cake... I hope! Just today though I have been thinking about this dang blog all day and studying for my midterm but found myself doing everything except my work. I must not forgot to mention that I have been listening to Eminem's new album and have really enjoyed it. It's called The Marshall Mathers LP2 and I have to admit that being a big fan of him my opinion is a bit bias. Hey! Let me analyze the album. This album I believe is very good and just shows how Eminem has changed his style as he grows older and adapted his style to the changing times. Of course, you can't expect what he produced in his early years mainly because he's not the same person he was when he was younger. There are a couple of songs regarding his relationships with his parents and his ex-wife and I find those songs to be some of my favorites of the album. When I listen to those songs I can feel his emotion in the lyrics especially in his song "Headlights" regarding his mother. In this song he raps about his relationship with his mother and how as bad as it is between them he still loves her. (For those that don't know know Eminem and his mother have one of the worst son-mother relationships you can have.) He apologizes for the offensive songs
he's made towards his mother and how he regrets all of it. This song is really just him looking back and seeing that he was wrong and regrets not being able to have a better relationship with his mother so that she could be part of his children's lives now. The main message in this song is that you can't change who you are and how sometimes you have to accept how things are even if you don't like them. Now that Eminem is much older and sees his mom in bad health it hurts to realize that it is too late but believes it doesn't hurt to apologize. Being more mature now he knows how hard it was for his mother and has even gone through some things she had to go through. He ends the song thanking her for being his mother and father and hopes she will accept his apology. The song is a great apology and one needed. Of course I've grown up with his music so I'm a supporter all the way. Maybe part of it is because his music really reminds me of my youth and just the memories it brings forth listening to him rap. Bias of course but I recommend all of his music. Maybe this wasn't what you expected but it's what I got and I hope this isn't docked points or something. Just blogging my opinion and I hope you enjoyed it.

  1. Is the Eminem album really that good? I've been wanting to listen to it but I wasn't sure if it was actually worth the money. I'm not a huge Eminem fan, though, so maybe that's why.
