nothings changed the senates still corrupt & the emporer remains insane, and every day, is a new strain of slaughter, supply lines are less protected, evil on all sides, eye can smell the death on your flesh--creeping in, trapped within the twisting fingers of fear, and all eye see is ewe, that face, those eyes, burning like leprosy, eye can see u there poisoning the air, prostituing Nationalism, and eye want to attack, to rip out your heart and lay you flat on your back, and vomit a world of agony and truth into your throbbing illness of memory...and hate guides our way, eye long for the icy slap of a belt across my back, for the acceptance of death and blind cave war, the giving sleep of depression, the sweet elucidation of savage meaningless agression, chiseled in the meaty forearms of Mother Jupiter and his slave disciples, in the harem tents--outside, just beyond the edges--eye ride, a cycoptic mare in the fires of imagination. feeding my disease, a river of plagues, eye need something to remind me I'm still sinning that pain is important, that wurdz matter, that healing is possible, that eye am not alone ...in this --guard the houses--triple the watch,--Maidens, dig up your sorcery --sirens, sharpen your rocks..ewe will eat my pain again. whatever you need unite messiah ME

I fucking hate 'safe' art too. I judge the merit of art over whether it impacts me emotionally, or makes me think. there is alot things which my friends will say, "Oh that's really good, I LOVE that" and it's just shitty safe art. ...ooo look it's a really poorly painted picture a landscape! wow, that's really good. Fucking pisses me off.

C so pisses me off sometime. She's of the opinion that one should not hold strong opinions on things they know nothing about, yet she does this.

She I was telling her this one girl always over works her pieces when she doesn't need to.

C said I do the exact same thing, when I do not.

For one, she doesn't have the vaguest concept under God about what make art good. Granted...everything thing is subjective...but ...disregarding that, there are things which do define if a piece is good or not. ..#1 Composition. you don't just put something inthe middle of the surface and leave it,..doing nothing around it. See, when she looks at something, she only looks at the centeral part, and ignores the rest because 'it's not importent'. But it IS importent! Composition is one of the most importent things.

I have this drawing on I'm working on now....it is a portrait of her,...and she basicly wants me to leave it as is, she doesn't understand why its not finished....and to me, I'm like...uh,...hello, the top right corner area is absolutely bank with the exception of figure prints. It's un finshed. With a drawing of this nature you don't leave the negative space there unresolved. It is a poor compositinally and looks un professional. BUT if I go to explain this to her she completely disguards everything I'm saying and saying "Well, it's the same to me". Grrrrrrrrr it's times like that when I just want to all off and hit her. It's like, you're passing judgements on things which you do not understand and will not expand your horizions and understand my postion on the subject when that subject is what I know the most about, you know nothing. It's the most importent aspect of my life, and not for you. I mean, she wants to be a vet. I don't sit there and watch Pet Emergency with her and tell her that they didn't do the right thing in how they treated some animal. Pisses me off.

It's times like these when I wish I could talk to T,...not because I have a crush on the stupid boy,...but because he's the only person here whom I can discuss art with. He's one of my few equals on this campus...and his thoughts regarding art are similar to mine,...even though when approch it differently, we strive for a similar out come. it's the most importent part of my life and I can't talk to anyone about it. If I start talking about anything art related my friends' eyes glaze over and they zone out. Pisses me off. ...the boy better come to my show so I can get back in contact with him.
