As the Rain Drizzles, Tears Pour

The Situation: Have you read the deepest blogosphere post in forever? It's been out since yesterday, and it's by Andrew Matson, the Seattleite whose writing never doesn't make me feel a little glazed over.

Well, our resident blogstar and all around hip dude has recently posted a dark and emotional piece about urban music rookie of the year candidate, Drake. As you can feel in Matson's writing, which is like a mash up of hyperbole and tenacious journalism (a style I like to refer to as "Hyper-nalism") there is a deep seeded darkness to this man's reflections.

Not content with just looking into the mirror, he examines it's shiny surface. He peers deeply into the hallow behind him. He recollects more than just what is there, he brings out what does not exist and he makes it ethereal reality. He is a creator at it's purest, most metaphysical form.

Matson is great at writing about feelings, but he's also just great at writing.


Game tips/Walk through: A winner is you. When reflecting upon the mundane, don't look at it's face value. Look deeper. Find a darker, more resounding emotional connection within the content's shallow waters. The difference between a good song and a great song is how the blogs react to it. So don't just react, overreact! Make every word you write the greatest word ever written.
