Celebrity: The Arthur Kade Project

Arthur Kadyshes, or rather Arthur Kade, moved me with the story of his life. Here is a man who is truly a product of his environment and at the same time a man able to choose his own destiny.

The most astonishing aspect of this article to me is the power of blogging and how Kade attempts to use it to his advantage. I have honestly been doubting the usefulness of blogging as of late, but this article has spurred my interests once again.

The issue of Kade's views on women, I agree, is legitimate. Kade seems to view women as objects and unfairly places harsh criticism on their physical appearances. He uses sex purely as a means of enjoyment. However, for this I will not judge this man. I understand firsthand how difficult it is to connect with women coming from a home stricken by divorce. I imagine Kade was never able to see from his father the correct way to treat women; to deal with their emotions, connect with them, and develop real relationships with them. While in my case I retained respect for women, Kade clearly did not.

In regards to Kade's talents, I must say he seemed promising until the author deemed his acting "not believable". This part of the story is a huge turning point, as reality comes into effect. It was the first time in the article that I thought this might not be a Cinderella story. It may just be a talentless man following a far-fetched dream who has gained a great deal of attention. In any case, this sets up the conclusion to the story in which Kade expresses that "The Journey" is more important to him than his imminent success or failure.
