Also, I wanted to talk about what art is. In my mass media class we read about this article that is claiming that how the media follows/covers celebrity is a form of art. And originally I was appalled. My brain just went "no" and shut that shit down! But then I started feeling like I was being snooty and maybe it was art. So I spent a lot of time over the weekend thinking about if it is art, and if it isn't, why isn't it? And I could not come up with a reason to say it wasn't art! I mean first I was thinking that since it's a human's life it isn't created. But then I realized that since the general population is not seeing the whole life of a celebrity, just a CONSTRUCTED view of it, it could be art. And now I think it is art. I mean it's a medium that people have to make seem interesting to the populace, and isn't that what artists do? It's mind boggling! I'm glad that I thought about this more, because I was feeling hoity-toity about it. But another thing I was thinking about is, what exactly qualifies as art? I mean anything can be art, just as long as it was constructed, I think? It doesn't mean it's good art, but it's still art. Like some one who designs cars is an artist, in my opinion. But then that makes an overflow of art. But that's a good thing right? Hm. It is a weird concept. Art. The dictionary says, Art= the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power. Hmm that sounds about right. And then that would mean that this paparazzi type of stuff is art! Crazy!
So besides that, not much is going on. My brain is getting fuzzy again and clouding stuff up. Annoying. It's like one of those things that is good and bad. Hmf. Another thing: I am afraid that I come off cold. Like I can talk to people for a while, and I can get the initial process off the ground. But then when it comes to the time when maybe I should go out of my way to talk to them, I clam up! When it's up to me to see if the relationship will become more than a pleasant acquaintance, I fuck it up. I just have no clue what to say sometimes. I am going to work hard on this. I also have a problem with being able to talk to people at the Kum & Go, but then not being able to talk to them at school or anywhere else. It's mad awk (in correct terms, it's very awkward baha). I need to work on this too, but again, I have no clue what to say. I'm just socially odd. I don't know. While I am at the Kum & Go today, I am going to try to formulate a plan! It might be an awful plan, and I might not execute said plan, but at least I am going to try to work it out. Bah. I have to work on this. My brain is too intense. It really should take a break sometimes and let me just do my thangggg.
I hope that today there are no weirdo's in. On saturday night there were soooo many. gross.
