LIFE IS GOOD....IN JAPAN PICKING OUT FABRICS FOR PASTELLE
04.09.2008

I don't do anything I don't love anymore... I loved the flashing lights vid so it didn't matter 2 me if someone one else didn't. While people chase money I pursue happiness. So many people talk about there investments or how much money they have but there's so many rich people who spend a lot of that trying 2 buy a piece of happiness. If there's anything my mom taught me is to enjoy life. I just recorded my first verse in the last 6 months 2 days ago at Bape's Studio in Japan. It felt good and I was inspired. I absolutely lost my mind (in a good way) on the new Glow in the Dark tour. The constant hours of creating helped me 2 keep from loosing my mind in a bad way. Chris Milk told me tragedy can produce great art and this is definitely true. I am a total mad man now, up till 3 am every night, trying 2 fight pain, board-um, and uncertainty with creativity. All that said, life is good..... good as finding the perfect fabric for a simple one button casual blazer with matching pants.

I deeply understand what u say. I think i would be a different person without you, and we have never met. I watch you grow day by day into something better and more creative, and it makes me realize how much I can grow too.

That was a real statement right there. But, don't drive yourself too crazy. Take time to rest even though perfection is the goal. I'm glad you are happy, back in the studio and doing things that U enjoy.

Hard times in life make you grow, make you wiser, and certainly does spark creativity. It's very moving to see that with your important loss you still keep track of what you want in life and that you stay very clear-minded on what life is all about. Money's good, getting out your dreams is what matters tho. In the end there's no reset button, right! ^^
Keep doin what u love (ur moms must be proud), i'm a do the same.
Shot a movie in Paris with a friend of yours, told me some cool stories...
Ps: BRING THAT BIG ASS SHOW TO FRANCE!

Ye, that is the realist shyt ever spoken my friend... a penny for your thoughts? that came straight from my brain! i swear!
m_rizzuto | April 9, 2008
Thats exactly how i feel... creativity pushes all the bullshit, pain, anger away. Its a beautiful thing to know your outlet, to know how to get though the day with out loosing it totally. Once you gots the money the only thing that matters is happiness, what ever that means to you!

"While people chase money I pursue happiness"-quote...is absolute right
firefly71 | April 9, 2008
I just love you Kanye. People look to you because you DO something... produce art, live life fully. You would be CRAZY to have all that you do and piss all the opportunities away. So many losers in hollywood or those making music are so one dimentional that ALL they have is their persona... you have SO much more! Your mom raised you right. I am a mom of a 7 year old girl and an 8 year old boy, and I am constantly working on expanding their minds. You remind me that I need to keep it up.
lilpinkdiva423 | April 9, 2008
i love you soooooooo much 'ye! you are truly an inspiration!!!!
m_esco | April 9, 2008
^ Now all I need is y'all to pronounce my name
Its Kanye..But some of my plaques they still say Kayne.....
Jeezy | April 9, 2008

gret that you are so creative
neffyEastlovekanyeWest | April 9, 2008

Collegin4theGoodLife | April 9, 2008

WOW Kanye after reading that post I feel like we have just received a piece of your heart!!! I feel so privileged...that is why I love you Kanye because you show your "HUMAN" side....KEEP ON ROCKIN ON!!!!!!
GoodMorning23 | April 9, 2008
"things we buy to cover up what's inside..." I feel ya man, money can't buy happiness, it's what we do with our lives that MAKES that money that will truly make us happy. Dude, on a side note, but kind of still related, you always crack me up in songs whenever you talk about how you "went to Jacob's with 25 thou before I had a house" or "DAMN them new loafers hurt my pocket" or "I went to Jacob the hour after I got my advance; I just wanted to shine!" It reminds me of me...sometimes you just gotta spend that dough to look fly before you really have it, lol...
well i wanted to show you this music video i just made for a local band here in austin texas because it seemed to me that you would appreciate it, maybe even enough to post it on your blog, cuz it's funny, creative and original...here's hoping you read your comments...

oneandonlytlr | April 9, 2008
Now that's real talk!
ATonDon | April 9, 2008
WOW 'YE! that's some deep shit... you are a really enlightened cat! i never really realized it before, but happiness is much more important than money. money isn't an end in itself. people only seek money in order to attain happiness. i guess you're in an ideal situation because you have plenty of both. can't wait till GITDT...keep posting...i NEED it in my life!LOL
dRunkNhoTgurl88 | April 9, 2008

KANYE- YOU'RE SO TRUE IN YOUR SKIN- IT'S ALMOST SCAREY TO KNOW SOMEONE WITH ALL YOUR POWER AND INFLUENCE CAN BE SO UNINFLUENCED IN YOUR SURROUNDINGS (IN A GOOD WAY)...AND EVEN IF YOUR SKIN WAS EMBELISHED IN DIAMONDS AND GOLD YOU'D STILL BE FOR REAL.
