Đọc Kinh Thánh

Tôi không phải là người trong đạo nhưng lâu lâu đọc một vài câu Kinh Thánh cũng hay. Chẳng hạn như câu sau đây của Ê-sai (41:10):

Đừng sợ, vì ta ở với ngươi; chớ kinh khiếp, vì ta là Bill Cosby! Ta sẽ bổ sức cho ngươi; phải, ta sẽ giúp đỡ ngươi, lấy tay hữu công bình ta mà nâng đỡ ngươi.

Xin đừng ném đá tôi nhé.

Oh, Yeezus

I appreciate Kanye the artist, but Kanye the misogynistic asshole is indefensible. Cringe-worthy lyrics from his latest album include:

For all the girls that got dick from Kanye West
If you see ‘em in the streets give ‘em Kanye’s best

Worse:

Now if I fuck this model
And she just bleached her asshole

Worst:

I know it’s corny bitches you wish you could unfollow
I know it’s corny niggas you wish you could unswallow

Then again his beats are fucking blazing. I wish I could go back to the time when I listened to hip-hop without understand a word of English.

The Music Critic in the Age of the Insta-Release

Amanda Petrusich:

Good art often takes time to make, and it often takes time to understand, too. It doesn’t feel unreasonable to suggest that perhaps the very first thing a person should do when faced with some nascent creation is not frantically and qualitatively assess its value.

She has a good point. In the contrary, I find that I don’t pay much attention to album like I used to do when I was writing reviews. Listening to music has become more passive for me.

Testimonial From Cao Nguyên

Author Cao Nguyên:

I entrusted my poems to Donny because of his love and reverence for the Vietnamese language and poetry, and he did not disappoint. His mastery in web designing was very evident in thomua.com.

Thank you, anh.
