I’m back!
Been so long, man
Not really tho
Did you know tho is actually an official alternative spelling of though?
Not just texting language
crazy right
Some 19th c. English there for ya
But it hasn’t been long for me
I write blog articles in my head consistently
at the very least I have ideas that I document somewhere to which I may return at a later date
That’s the thing about creativity
Some things are gone forever
and some things aren’t
either way, creativity always has an audience of one
makers only make for themselves
So, Gone Forever ain’t that bad
The audience that really matters witnesses regardless
That’s my dilemma with social media
Is this for me? Or am I just a narcissist?
And then I don’t post…
I know I meander
my apologies
Here’s something I wonder about
To what extent can the moral of a particular work of art be premeditated before it becomes propaganda?
Look
I have a few premises for books
Before I talk about that tho I have to put in earbuds
my brother chews loudly and the computer is in the kitchen
Deciding between Drake JR JR and COIN
Ooh Bad Suns
Quin XCII!
There it is
Ok, continuing
One reason I love writing is that it teaches me about myself
I find things when i write that would have eluded me otherwise
I discover myself on the page
Not in my head
Not on my tongue
Not in the mirror
But not just myself
I discover my ethic
I discover the world
Here I am typing this on a computer
Im not even holding a pencil
ironic
Still deciding whether or not computers qualify as a medium of pure composition
I happen to have pencil and paper in reach so I’ll let it go on account of my proximity to an unquestionably pure medium…
However
It is a mechanical pencil tho
maybe not unquestionable
I still question it
What else do I question?
art
The matrix trilogy was fairly premeditated and manipulated
That seems evident
I happen to love the matrix movies
But I can’t tell what was on purpose and what wasn’t
Art can be honest, and if it is, then it is valuable
That is, because the honesty of the work doubles as the assurance that I am not being manipulated by propaganda
Dishonest art can also be valuable in an ironic sense, tho still not trustworthy
Maybe I can help myself out by refraining from attempting to glean profound meaning out of every movie I watch…
After all, the import of a particular work of art has to do with its kind and its purpose and/or inspiration
Anywho
I’m wondering about the extent to which I should consciously install a moral or morals in my own creative endeavors
What I am doing is art
like right now
this is my art
how trustworthy is my analysis of the world?
It is honest
honestly confused
but fairly reasonable if i might say so myself
I’ll leave up to you, I guess
