The Purpose of Ranting and Raving

If one looked up the definiton of rant he/she would find the following:
  • talk in a noisy, excited, or declamatory manner

  • bombast: pompous or pretentious talk or writing

  • speech or text that does not present a well-researched and calm argument; rather, it is typically an attack on an idea, a person or an institution. Very often rants lack proven claims. Such attacks are usually personal attacks.

  • A wild, incoherent, emotional articulation

  • etc. etc. etc. etc. etc..... SNORE
    If one did the same for rave he/she would find similar defintions that aren't as pompous or obnoxious. With all of that in mind,you are probably wondering why in the world we chose this name in the first place. Despite all of the negative connotations which rise from the definitons; there is a similarity which I see that defines what I am personally about as a living, breathing human being: PASSION. Everything that is written in this blog has a purpose. It has a message and a claim that yes maybe the world isn't ready to hear, but it will make a statement nevertheless. A rave is not necessarily haphazarly researched or a faulty attack. A rant is continuous, it links different things together that sometimes are and sometimes aren't cohesive  in reality's perspective. Reality's perspective has been whacked for a looooooooooooooong time anyways; making it an unstable foundation to build my outlooks on life as it is now. That being said don't shy away from ranting or raving; through those acts we as humans are questioning the world around us, questioning what others ignore, forget, or find insignificant. Without the rants and raves of millions  before me, not only would my place in society be completely not worthy of notice it would be nonexistence. For I do not exist as a human without my ability to rant and rave.  JOIN ME :)
