It's just one of those songs you hide in your iTunes and hope no one ever finds it.

A song that pumps up volleyball players.

Some kind of trashy lyricism of the cliche fast life.

But you can't resist it.

HEY.

I love you.

One Hundred and Thirty Eight

Yeah yeah, two posts in one day... but seriously.
*I AM PSYCHIC*

• I add Chloe Fey on Facebook just to tell her that she was fantastic in the Coterie's production of The Giver and someone posts on the AP Lit blog about The Giver
• I reread the poetry packet, initially skipping over one, but I decided to go back and read it and that ends up being the one poem from that collection that was discussed
• I thought about my old class ring that I NEVER wear or even see around and my sister asks today if I still have it
• I thought about you dying and you had that conversation about what to do if you weren't here anymore
• I want a purple gem stone necklace, you have amethyst earrings the next day and then I go to find Saul Williams' best slam on YouTube and what is it called?? AMETHYST ROCK.
• I think about how much I'd regret not being able to read all these books before I die (including my newest one) and you talk about THAT BOOK
• I always know when Joseph's texts are coming to my phone
• I changed my background to the Ara Pacis's Tellus Relief and we had it on our test today as one of four image ID's out of a total of over 40 to pick from
• I knew he'd ask about Richard's friends killing themselves just before he asked even though the conversation had nothing to do with that
• I was just telling Juju how I think you're stronger than I am and you go off and question your strength completely unprovoked

no. these are not just coincidence. and yes. these were just this week.

and just for shits and giggles (another pattern to be analyzed):

Today was good, I think. To fully realize its awesomeness, I think we're long overdue for Ordinary Ovations:

• I tied for the second largest bamboo phallice and Mattsson thought the piece had a nice open composition.
• I came to Park Hill (YES AGAIN, I KNOW, ALL YOU BAD DREAMS CAN GO AWAY) slightly against my will; Peter needed me for "moral support."
• My disconcerting nightmare (as referred to ^) didn't come true, but I think that was simply because I HAD the dream to forewarn me of more realistic expectations. I think it had something to do with Robert, which is a good thing.
• My sister went back to my mom's house finally.
• I'm studying my butt off for art history.
• I was totally psychic about those purple gem stones. No lie. No lie.
• My karma must be getting pretty good by now. : )

BAHAHAHAHAHA.

One Hundred and Thirty Three

As much as I enjoy the message in this, I theoretically disagree.

We'd be better off if we lived like we were just BORN not as if we were dying, because frankly, children have the most appreciation and freedom from worry and self consciousness. Their souls are so free from their bodies-- they exist inside out instead of being dependent on their outward appearance to feel inwardly soulful.

SO CUTE.

One Hundred and Thirty Two

Yesterday

**************************************

So I was reading some AP Lit blog responses about "what is art" earlier, right? And I can't help but think what isn't art? Is there a such thing? To pass through our minds, the same minds that give birth to the concept of art and the importance on something that in turn labels it art, how is anything in existence NOT art? Doesn't everything we see have meaning to any one person? To me, that's all it takes-- one person's appreciation for that "things" life. Sure, to most people a paperclip doesn't seem like art, but I can assure you SOMEONE cared enough about it through its creation, its usage, its aesthetic to keep it around today. It even could be beyond its function in our lives; it's what we connect it to. I could easily see a story behind a paperclip where someone's lover dies and their only possession they had on their person during their last breath was a stupid little paperclip. I guarantee you their spouse will never forget that momentous piece of metal. Everytime that widow sees a paperclip afterward, what seems like nothing to most of us will speak volumes to them. That one person's appreciation is what makes it art even if it doesn't SEEM like art to the masses. THAT, by far, is the basis of art-- the personal connection.

**********************************

This seriously makes me question the purpose of artistic institutions. Simply based on the idea that it is in the eye of the beholder, like life and religious institutions, how can one person decide ANYTHING for any other being? Shouldn't this all be an individual choice? On that principle, institutions are undermined, because as we all know, institutions are hierarchies of power and the ones in power hold the mysticism over everyone elses' heads.

*THIS JUST IN*

Our first and only representational acrylic paintings, we critiqued today and it was a fluke at best. Oh well, most of us did DECENT work but others... not so much.

Lemme just. write.





the more i stare across the room at my yellow sun-lit blinds, letting the view envelop my sight, the less all this stuff looks like what it actually is. it becomes static and alien-- shapes and shades without name. one composition. meaningless form. fading out of my mind's eye.

Everything has a moral, if only you can find it.

**********************************

What is your definition of art? and what is a specific example from your own literary experiences of how the written word is an art form?

Any type of conscious by-product of our existence can be art. It comes from our person-- our unique quiddity. A work that holds meaning for any single human automatically, in my opinion, transforms it into "art."

Literary art continues to baffle me. It's true that we will never be able to express what we're thinking in our minds 100% through our language, but some of us come closer than others. One poem was poignant at a time where the summer heat was unbearable. It's called "August" by Adrienne Rich.

Two horses in yellow light
eating windfall apples under a tree

as summer tears apart milkweeds stagger
and grasses grow more ragged

They say there are ions in the sun
neutralizing magnetic fields on earth

Some way to explain
what this week has been, and the one before it!

If I am flesh sunning on rock
if I am brain burning in fluorescent light

if I am dream like a wire with fire
throbbing along it

if I am death to a man
I have to know it

His mind is too simple, I cannot go on
sharing his nightmares

My own are becoming clearer, they open
into prehistory

Which looks like a village lit with blood
where all the fathers are crying: My son is mine!
