Reasons Why the World Sucks.
Posted 16 years agoREASONS THE WORLD SUCKS:
Warning: You may want to read the warning* before continuing...
#1 GLOBAL WARMING
No one completely knows why it's happening. No one knows for sure what it's doing. But we all know it's possibly there, and it's most likely going to screw up generations in the nowhere near forseable future. And we are told that it is our responsibility to stop it with outlandish ideas like "recycling" and "car pooling".
Come now, people.
What you're really telling us is that there's no reason to leave appliances on, and that there's too much plastic in the world, two things you should know from instinct, and watching Entertainment Tonight. Since that lightbulb firefly thing from my early childhood didn't work, they're trying a larger scare tactic. But we already know, at some point, planet earth just ain't gonna last anymore. And quite frankly, i think it will be a very large, and somewhat beneficial, statement on the universe if we burn out before our sun does.
Don't get me wrong, i'm all for cleaning our environment and preserving resources and such, as long as it doesn' t interfere with my already eco-friendly life. And having a Dead cartoonists's character (In this case Snoopy as Joe cool) telling me to stop global warming, does, indeed, interfere with my eco-friendly life.
which, since we've gotten there:
#2 DEAD CARTOONISTS
I say this as an inaccurate and deliberately unfair generalization, when what i mean is, anyone who is no longer here and still being used to make an unimportant impact on society. At this moment, Shultz, our favourite depictor of charlie brown.
In general, i make it a policy not to speak ill of the dead. But to any of you out there holding on to the opinion that the man was a genious; as i recall, what he did was point out to a relatively happy world, that life sucks. And if you haven't figured that out yet, i want to live in your country.
The man was, in reality, like most artists. Opinionated, yet still somewhat uninterested in the world that existed outside of his artistic vision and media. I surely would not want to be dead when my opinions were enlarged and explored as, without me there to defend them, it's a bunch of universal nonesense to find on the internet.
Example: Mark Twain would call us, or probably did call us, morons for quoting him. And would probably confirm this assumption when something he said was used to make or prove an argument he was not involved in.
#3 WAR ON IRAQ
A touchy subject, yes. And i refuse to form a decisive opinion either way. But it seems to me, it's one of those things, at least to the generation after the first Presidential Bush (BTW power to you hilary...), that goes on in the background, without our concsent or effort to refuse. We only hear about it randomly, when someone they call a soldier is killed, not even necessarily by "the enemy", or when some nasty torture video is released. And the news is rarely of a bombing anymore, a threat, a serious problem with their government. It's the good old u.s of a screwing up, or getting over zelous.
Time for an overly sarcastic line: Gee, i'm sure glad hundreds of people are dying so we can make new recruiting videos and practice on live people.
And a less sarcastic line: The US is really proving it's military competence, isn't it. Definately worth your tax dollars.
#4 TAX DOLLARS
Personally paying for something we probably didn't vote for in the first place.
#5 INTERNET LISTS...
...of personal opinions that do nothing but anger, annoy, and cause malicious debate. Often seen cluttering irrelevant websites, and sent 40 times to your inbox by people you've never actually met in person.
#6 WALMART
Enough said.
So as a reluctant conclusion, here is my disclaimer, featured most notoriously at the beginning of this list:
*WARNING:
Author has absolutely no idea what she is talking about. In fact, she is bored, and is speaking out of her ass.
The previous list was a completely irrelevant depiction of opinions, not meant to anger or annoy. yet it's purpose is to anger and annoy. It is based less on actual facts than on what the author ate for breakfast this morning. It is in no way, shape or form a complete list of crap that makes the world suck, nor things the author feels it necessary to needlessly bitch about.
The opinions expressed are not your own, they are the authors. and quite frankly, the only opinion she feels it necessary to listen to is one that agrees with her own. So do not argue with her.
Failure to read this rant to the end nullifies the readers right to voice objections.
Failure to spend time on something worth while instead of finishing this rant to the end nullifies the readers right to voice objections.
I believe that covers it all.
PEACE LOVE AND PROSPERITY people!!!!
Ironic, though that is ;)

ART stat. BORED!!!!
Posted 17 years agoOne of these days, -albeit in the distant future when robots with cattle prods follow us around and force us to do things- I will learn to start something and actually tend to it attentively. and with less of an attitude that someone might offer, say, a jar of grapes. IE Not so much sit their thinking about it, acknowledging it's existence, passing by it daily staring at it and wondering what to do with it, as much as, hey, there's a jar of grapes, maybe i should get them out and make salad.
Which i guess is what i'd do with a jar of grapes...
So I'm on a fairly pointy fence at the moment, deciding whether or not i should throw myself further into debt and purchase a laptop, or continue fluttering in oblivion for a few more years pretending i'm concerned about what to do with the rest of my life.
Because the online/digital art is on hiatus right now due to a demon computer from hell who's decided to start screwing around with both the hard drives. I'm tired of reinstalling, reformatting, reprogramming and all that other "re" stuff i probably shouldn't be taking care of in the first place, transferring files, finding where everything is on CDs... Long story short, I want a laptop on which to create art, and Mr Crappyass, that i'm typing on now, can be my supplier of internet and can be reformatted every month as he apparently likes it.
Of course, this inspires spite art. On friends and on food. Which is fun but kinda one dimensional and uninspired. And it means more to me than it does to anyone who sees it. and a lot of it is waiting to be digitally coloured, which isn't presently and option.
Apart from that, my art is turning towards interior designing which has taught me a number of things.
-- i am not an interior designer, and hold very little hope of ever being one in the near future. Which i'm fairly sure i can deal with, as it has never really been a dream of mine to make other people's houses look like mini mansions while living in a one bedroom apartment with a leaky faucet and a nasty mailman...
-- Designing is best done AFTER the space is cleared. You "think" you can shuffle things around, but unless you're 12 feet tall and strong as an ox, you're going to come to a very sad realisation. Especially when you trap yourself behind a bookcase...
-- Figuring out layout plans on paper really need to be to scale. Like meticulously. You may believe you know the size of the space you have to work with, but trust me, you don't. Also essential is knowing how wide, long and tall your furniture actually is. Like numerically. Not arm estimations. they don't work.
Anyway, this is a fairly pointless rant where we see my mind trying desperately to do it's own interior design of my brain and figure out what the next step in the path of life should be.
Which could possible involve clothing...
But yeah. Keep arting and exploring, and soon we shall witness joy in aardvarks...
