These last few months have been: weird, abnormal, frustrating, depressing, angry and inspiring. I've been struggling to find myself. And fighting internally with what I want out of life. Nothing, or everything. I'm completely unsatisfied with almost every aspect of my life. BUT, in these most difficult of times in my life, I have been able to find solace in one thing. Art. I'm searching desperately for art and beauty every single day, and with this new journey of discovery, I'm finding myself surprised by such little things, that I had never seen before, hadn't seen in a while, or just ignored. Because my blog has been neglected, I decided that starting today, I would share with you some of the things I find. At least that will motivate me to pay more attention to you. Today's dedication is going to be to music videos. An art form with tiny little treasure's hiding in piles and piles of shit. So, if you have the time, please watch these, and try and see what I see. You won't be unsatisfied. Trust me.

Vicarious
Now, of course, Lady Gaga:

And now the rest:

And before I start getting mad because I forgot a whole bunch, I'm done. Enjoy and please feel free to tell me about your favourite videos because I'm quite sure there's some amazing stuff I haven't seen yet.
