Sorry if it seams like I’ve been complaining a lot lately. Just another thing I’d like to get off my chest. Now I really do understand to the fullest extent the restrictions on time spent doing what that we make for ourselves these days. The problem that I find it is causing for me and others I have talked to about this, is the impersonality of many things that has come to be a direct result of having to get things done quickly. A perfect example is the “Forwarded E-Mail”. It is definitely a source for simplicity, but there is definitely also something that takes away any emotion behind the text. Knowing that the e-mail was either a generalized group of words you had to read and make sense of, or that it wasn’t intended for your eyes when it was written. I apologize for anyone who sends me FWD E_MAIL, because by no means am I saying this in an attempt see a change in the way others do things, but you are safe to know that you’ll not likely get one from me, unless I’m in a rush!

Tell Me What You Make Of This
Well without fail my brain had a major Hiccup, or what I like to call a brain fart. I just got off of the phone with my close friend Shawn who is engaged to be married to his awesome girl Shelly. In east indian culture, the formalities of the engagment ceremony will be held shortly before the wedding. Now Shawn has been telling me for over a year now that his Engagment ceremony will be coming up next May long weekend, and that the wedding will be held in September.
For some reason not known to man I kept hearing that the Engagement will be next year, and that the wedding will be the following year after that. How for over a year I misheard him on multiple occasions I'll never know.
Anyhow, best wishes to my good friend Shawn and his lady.

Is Unintentional still considered Artistic??
So here is the question for today. Is Unintentional still considered Artistic?? What I mean by this just so we don't have a misunderstanding, when attempting to let out some pent up artistic rage in a fight with yourself do something artistic. I know that half of the discoveries at least on earth, were all conjured up in public display of "oops....hold on, what do we have here ... $$$".
But when there is no materialistic value to be put upon it, should you really know what you are doing.
Let's say for example that you wanted to draw something. You decided to draw a person's face from a photograph but change the background . Well you were going for a more copy type effect so that the face of the person in the drawing looked exactly like that of the picture. Well upon completeing the drawing you came to realise that although the similarities between the two did in fact exist it ended up being more of an interpretive drawing than a copy. Now that wasn't what you were trying to, but a friend of yours saw the drawing and thought it was awesome. A great piece of artwork. Now the feeling was shared by almost all who saw the drawing, but they all think that it was the look you were going for, not because you lied to them, but through uncorected assumptions.

Just gotta Let go
We are too afraid as a society to drop the boundries which hold us confined to repeating the mistakes of the past. Consequently it is those boundries that we have created and keep ourselves back from progressing to the next level of civilization which in turn will release us from this social mayhem. I think.
