Kanye West Spring 2012

If only the best birds sang in the forest, the forest would be a quiet place-
"Not everyone can be the best. There is only one who can be ranked as number one. So, if the bird who sang best was the only bird singing, the forest would seem very empty and quiet. The forest would seem lonely, like it was missing some vital part. The saying is a metaphor for life. It is telling us not to give up or stop trying just because we can't all be the biggest or fastest or smartest or best. If the only people who did anything were the ones who were considered the best, nothing would ever get done"

Dear Kanye,
                  Continue to do everything you've ever dreamed of. Kudos to you for taking life by the balls and living your absolute dream. Critic's are tough on you because they believe you have the ability to achieve greatness in fashion as you have in hip hop. Celebrity of no celebrity I think your show was fantastic. Best wishes for next season.

My favorites, few and far in between, here they are;
