French, and Mainstream Music

I had French finals this morning. They were easymode. I wish I finished a little faster. I was one of the last two in the class. I remembered a few words that I normally don't, so I was happy about that... idk. It was too easy. There was no challenge. I flew through the multiple choice, wrote down words for the 50-word notes, and then came home. Here I am now. So, on to a more important topic.
Mainstream Music.

First off, I don't even like the word "mainstream". It's only used by people who care about whether things are mainstream. I don't care if someone else likes something I like. I don't care if everyone likes something I like. I don't care if no one likes something I like. The point is, if I like it, why should I pay attention to what others think of it? Obviously this doesn't apply to everything. "lol i like smoking i don't care what others think!!@11111!11!11!" No. Smoking = detrimental to one's health. Listening to mainstream music? Not detrimental to health (maybe social health). Everyone wants to be the person who listens to the stuff no one else listens to. They all want to listen to some really underground, obscure rap, not because they like it better than other stuff, but because when they're asked about their taste in music, they can puff up their chest and say, "I listen to -group no one has ever heard of here-!" In my opinion, this is how people get famous anyways. Maybe someone DOES like them better than other mainstream stuff; but that doesn't mean they need to make tons of statuses/tweets/posts/whatever the fuck else they do because they don't like mainstream things (TUMBLR)/other about what their listening to. It means they're entitled to their own taste in music and they shouldn't care whether people like Arnav will listen to the mainstream stuff like "Titanium" by David Guetta.

The word "mainstream" has popped up far too much in my life recently. So, maybe this blog post will ward it off. Hopefully. I AM TITAAAAAAANIIIIIUUUUUUUUMMMMMM  wubwubwuwbwubwubwuwbwubwubwuwbuwbwubwubwuwbwuwuwuwbwubwubwubwuwbubwub

Hello, World

First post. I made this blog because of inspiration. It's 2:32 AM right now. My inspiration to make a blog:
-Watching The Social Network.
-MIT Admissions Blogs
-Being up late at night
-Having a place I can dump all my thoughts into
-Having a place safe from people in my school
-I'm sick of Twitter's micro-blogging format in which you can only use 140 characters to express your thoughts.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I just hit 80 WPM last night, too. That's kind of a part of it, I guess. It's not a reason for making the blog, but it's a plus. I don't know if this blog is an in-the-moment thing or if it's gonna be something I take with me through high school and college, and I hopefully I can make it better by learning HTML and stuff. For now, I'm sticking to learning JavaScript, but I waver a lot with learning languages. I was learning Python a week and a half ago. My first language that I ever tried was C++. I failed at it. I then did a bit of Batch (@echo off stuff) and HTML. I don't remember much of anything from HTML besides <p> and </p>. Or is that just because I watched The Social Network? Hmm. (Funny thing I just noticed: typing < or > in Google's simple blog posting shows "&lt;" or "&gt;" in HTML. Maybe if I ever learn HTML I'll know more about that.

I'm NOT going to update this blog regularly. I don't even know if I'll update it at all. I'm not good with sticking to schedules. Inconsistency is my middle name. I don't want it to feel like, "Ugh. Time to update my blog." I want it to be something more like, "Wow. That was interesting. I'm gonna blog about that."


//there used to be a paragraph here, but my mind is controversial so I backspace a lot. I don't like it.

Anyways, welcome to my blog. :)
