YouTube Strikes Again!!

Those dastardly guys at YouTube dun it again I tell you! Shortly after posting the video on YouTube, the audio was cut off due to copyright issues. As a result, I'm going to have to re-do the video (-__-) and post it at a later time. Hopefully they have a change of heart as the week goes along in terms of the audio, but for now, I'm going to have to either work on another one or just blog everything. Apologies everyone!

 P.S. Look out for the first Architecture blog real soon!

The Modern Perspective Presents: Catch Up

Greetings all!  I know that I have been gone, but school has been proving to be..well...school and I haven't been able to blog like I wanted to....so, in order to properly make up for what I have missed out on, I wanted to create a video covering it all.  My apologies already for not holdin up my end of the bargain on this blog..things are going to change.  I would suggest watching the whole thing, the coonery gets worse as it goes along..smh

Its Back!

After over a month of gettin reacquainted with school, I've finally found time to get back on the blog! 


I'm sorry that I havent been posting like that or gave you prior notice, but things just started piling up.  I talked to my good friend Aaron Randle who blogs for MESH and he really opened my eyes nd showed the errors of my ways. :( Thats over now though, from this point forward, The Modern Perspective is going to be pushing out posts like clockwork! Its good to be back, are you ready??

POWER: Okay...Where Do I Start?

Maybe it's because I dont have the same "vision" as Kanye West or whatever, but I see this not as a huge but significant dissapointment.  The image he portrayed was indeed deep and striking but it was too short!  Now, possibly(and most likely) this is the beginning of a new breed of music videos (that are more like commercials) and will push sales...that is yet to be seen.  But for the time being, Kanye has once again proved why he is a leader in todays industry through bold statements and videos alike.  


Overall, I would rate the statement with an A+ the visuals were stunning and downright scary...but in terms of living up to the hype i'd give it a B...still pretty solid but hey, like I said, maybe this is just the start.


Well, there it is...any comments?

What Do You Want to Hear About??

To kick things off here, I want to poll the people who have visited the blog to this point to find out which significant news story they want to hear about.  With many things happening at once Im eager to talk about all of these things, but I'm going to leave the choice to you.  The poll is located to your left and will end on Friday at midnight.  Just another way to get you involved here and make it Your blog.
