I am discontent with the music industry.
Seemingly, the most successful individuals are the ones who package the most beauty (sometimes artificially,) into a package that writes cliche, even mediocre songs. Have you ever heard of a famous singer with an ugly name? Who's just ugly altogether? I don't think so. Look at these names.
Taylor Swift
Stevie Wonder
Jonas Brothers
James Taylor
There are no "Archibald Kauffmans" in pop music, unfortunately. Your name makes a big difference, as do your looks in this industry. Its a shame because I have no doubts that there are incredibly talented people out there who aren't successful because of something other than their music.
People amaze me. I wish I could know what I want with enough conviction to realize and accept my dreams. Stupid dreams.
Oh well. Acceptance.

Carpe Diem
Carpe Diem. Seize The Day.
I've been doing a lot of thinking about life lately, and I suppose I've come to a few conclusions.
First. Life is filled with people who won't make you happy. The key to happiness is to find the ones that do, spend as much time with them as you can, and do some good things along the way.
Be gracious and thankful. Be selfless. By making others as happy as you can, they will return the favor. Being happy, basically, is what it's all about. Being selfless and thankful for what you have will nurture content, and content will nurture happiness.
Be yourself. It will cause you much less stress in the end. You'll make friends based off of you being someone else, and when you want to finally be yourself, you still have to keep up that act of being someone else. So free yourself. If you are open from day one, a day will never come when you feel like you're acting.
Just, do whatever man. It's all good. Its not like I always feel like that, but its a good standard.

First Post on Cuddle Puddled.
Dear world, this is the first blog post on cuddle puddled.
I choose to share my thoughts, ideas, and basically any other random shit worth sharing with you on the basis that I have these things living in my brain, and I want to put them somewhere.
On love, on sadness, on loneliness, on happiness, on the beautiful and wonderful world on which we live.
Thank you.
