Media Madness...

Boy oh boy...media really is everywhere! If you looked away from this blog post right now and gazed at your surroundings, you'd probably be able to make a sizeable list of all the media that's around you. There's probably a logo on whatever device you're using to read this blog post (which, btw, is also media!), there's probably some time of signs or flyers or posters or whatever else that have something they want you to read.

Advertisements for companies or events or anything else imaginable are a type of media; but, aside from advertising, there are so many other types of media: social media (facebook, twitter, Instagram etc.), entertainment media (television shows, movies, music, Netflix (yaass Netflix rocks) etc.) and more literally: creative media (paint, pencil, ink, wood, metal, stuff, etc.). You just really cannot escape it...

I think that it's quite simply impossible to avoid media or to not engage with it; after all, every building you ever walk through is made from some media and every object (unless you make it yourself) probably has the company name on it...and I also think that it's really easy to be drawn to different media (or even sucked into it, cause who doesn't just loveeee to watch their fave show??). I, personally have a few types that I just can't resist...

among the list are:
1. Music - I just love music, singing is great (like come on, who doesn't sing in the shower lol). And listening to it is just so enjoyable...there's music to fit every type of person and all of their moods ever...plus, watching live performances of your fave musical artist is just kind of magical...

2. t.v./movies - first off, Netflix is life and I really can't help but get immersed into characters of my fave shows or movies...they're like your fictional fam that you can watch do life things lol

(best concert ever b/c i love them a lot)

3. art stuff - crafts are so fun! and I also like to paint and doodle and what not...it's just really fun to just create a picture on paper (or canvas or whatever else...also media!)

(paintings I did for my ma)

So, basically, media madness is very real and relevant in life. It gets us to notice things and to create things and to entertain ourselves, among other things. Media is a great tool that can be used many ways by many many people.
