Basically, this blog is here for me to organize my thoughts/information I collect, rather than letting it roll haphazardly around in my noggin. You understand, don't you, anonymous reader(s)? But hopefully it will become interesting/useful to someone at some point. I suppose I should also mention that the main focus of this blog will be art. To be more specific, appreciating, analyzing, and making art. Which I like.
(Almost as much as speaking in fragments!)
I'm going to try to explain this without leaving an obnoxious and pretentious textblock behind. Wish me luck.
Anyway, art is one of those things that really makes you notice how much weight one human being really carries. Think about it. As of right now, there are 6,652,728,501 people on this planet alone. And if you consider the possibility of life on other planets, there are 50-60 billion planets with conditions extremely similar to ours in this very galaxy. (I've been sick and watching the history channel.) In the long run, once we shed some of our natural selfishness, it's almost too easy to assume one human life, even our own, to be somewhat insignificant. If it's not us, or it's nobody close to us, or a celebrity, we don't even know, let alone care, when they die. But the truth of the matter is, everyone has incredibly important things to say and a right to express them. Everybody has an opportunity in life to immortalize their ideas and feelings through art, and leave something truly beautiful behind.
Thus, art matters to me, and should matter to everyone, really.
I'd love to receive comments, as well, so I can hear the ideas and opinions of others.
Right then.
