Let's not waste any words here.
I love the world of entertainment. Not because of the money involved or the fame of leading stars or the occasional craze of the general public. I like it for the endless creativity and passion that go into it, especially when immense cleverness, unmatched talent, and even heavenly inspiration are revealed in the artwork and concepts that seep from our minds and hearts.
I love it so much that I've become somewhat obsessed. At this point in my life -- age 21 -- I've already become exposed to so much of it that I feel heavily overwhelmed. I'm continually anxious to see what coming years have to offer, but with each new masterpiece I find, I'm drawn further and further away from my favorites of the past, both in terms of time since they were released and how much time I have to go back to them, if ever.
A couple months ago, I decided to start this 'Hall of Fame' blog, mainly to pay tribute to the great artists and thinkers who have changed my life through various media. I love being able to pick something out and praise it as my favorite, to set it apart as something of particular importance, and then to tell whoever cares that I've never experienced anything better. I hope this list will also help me remember what those things are. If making it public aids anyone else in their search for beauty and enjoyment, I'll be overjoyed.
Logistically, the hall of fame will move forward as follows:
One inductee will be added near the midpoint of each month into one of several categories:
January - Song
February - Band/Artist
March - Movie
April - Song
May - Album
June - Video Game
July - Song
August - Movie
September - Song
October - Album
November - Video Game
December - Song
Effectively, 5 songs, 2 albums, 2 movies, 2 video games, and 1 band/artist each year
chosen from my entire collection since the beginning of time, including roughly
10,000+ songs, 1,000+ albums, 600+ movies, 400+ video games, 700+ bands/artists
Enjoy!
