Now, it's time to spam like we've never spammed before!
I'm listening to a song called "The sound of someone you love who's going away and it doesn't matter".
It's a very nice song, and not nearly as emo as it sounds.
You should listen to it too, maybe!
I was talking to a family friend recently about the nature of art.
He's a professional actor, so he had quite a bit to say on the topic.
He said that in his eyes, art is about communication.
That is, it's about taking some experience or belief that you thought unique to you, putting it out in front of other people, and asking "Anyone else?"
If a piece of art is made that isn't a good faith attempt at communication, it isn't truly art, or at least is inferior to art that is.
Obviously, he expressed it much more eloquently than that.
I can sort of appreciate what he was trying to say.
To me, most art is vaguely enjoyable but leaves me with somewhat of a "so what" feeling.
But there are a few paintings, books, pieces of music, etc. that I've seen/read/heard and thought "Wow, I had always thought/felt that, but never been able to put it into any sort of coherent form and never heard anyone else say anything like it -- yet here it is, reflected back, right in front of me!"
I can only assume that's what he was talking about; that that is what art is supposed to be.
I wonder if anyone has ever felt like that in response to anything I've ever created.
I wouldn't call myself an artist by any stretch of the imagination, but I have written at least a few short stories that have been read by, perhaps, a few hundred people.
Though I wasn't consciously thinking it at the time, I think they were an attempt at communication, too.
I've written about topics I haven't really seen written about or even really mentioned in any media I've come across, such as dissociation, repression, and misanthropy.
That makes my writing sound much more angsty than it really is.
I mean, it is a little bit angsty, but not that much.
It's mostly just sort of faintly melancholy.
Pah, look at me warbling on about my own writing like this. How self-indulgent!
Well, I have to be off to work soon.
I'd better go get ready.
>>25,26 I sort of agree but also disagree; the best art is where the artist communicates their feelings and personal experiences, but I don't like to be spoonfed, I prefer art to be mysterious and difficult to decipher.
Art that appeals to common human experiences, things which lots of people can relate to, I usually find rather stale.
I disagree that art is inferior unless it is a "good faith attempt at communication", for instance I love postmodern stuff that playfully takes the piss out of the audience!
Especially when the viewer takes it too seriously and gets mad, "That's not art!!" "My child could do that!" "It's just a pile of bricks!" Haha it's very entertaining
Anyone who declares something to be "not art" doesn't know much about anything and isn't worth your time.
Warble warble warble.
Warble warble.
Warble warble warble warble?
Warble warble, warble!
Warble warble warble warble; warble warble warble warble warble.
I really like monochromes, especially the Yves Klein ones.
Post faster! Not better!
I love you, DQN.

I know, I know I've let you down
I've been a fool to myself
I thought that I could live for no one else
But now, through all the hurt and pain
It's time for me to respect
The ones who love me more than anything
So with sadness in my heart
Feel the best thing I could do
Is end it all, and live forever
What's done is done, it feels so bad
What once was happy now is sad
I'll never love again, my world is ending
