Art

Do you like art? What kind? Music, paintings, writings, drawings, fashion, any other number of media?

I have a thing for art and artists. I enjoy not only experiencing the art but getting the perspective of the artist and either how they decided upon their choice of medium or their inspiration.

It fascinates me at how many perceptions of the world there are and how those thoughts and imaginations are conveyed to the world. Granted, my view of the world is skewed towards the macabre or the "dark" side of life but that's just me.

And it is not like I am a dark person. I am actually pretty laid back but I have dark broodings on occasion and I enjoy finding the genuine person behind the art, whether dark or otherwise.

There are some forms of art that I find are too commercialized and really not my taste. I don't want art that panders to the masses. Whether it is popular or not is not the point, it is the pandering that I dislike.

Anyway, so I tend to have friends who are creative and I enjoy their company because of their different sort of perspective. It is refreshing and reinforces my own sense of the world. Not very practical I suppose, but who says the world always has to be practical?

Enjoy life and all who are in it!
