Snap out of it!

Thanks all for putting up with my bout of self-indulgent pouting.

I sorta blame the modernists. The 1900s were chock full of painters going, "Why does art have to be attractive/beautiful/aesthetically appealing?" Meaning in other words it shouldn't be pretty, that's shallow and not serious enough. "What is art, why does it have to be this or that?"  "Why can't it be a urinal that questions what art is?"

In fact this whole century of modernism put a whole new pressure on art to be something more than what it always had been- the thoughtful crafting of  beautiful objects. Now there has to be an aura of the "something" more/else and everything has to be a unique (even in a world of 7 billion people) declaration about itself.

Grow. 

 Really, it's just me putting that on myself. Why does awe and admiration of anothers' artistry have to result in dissatisfaction with our own?

But thanks guys. And hello to new commenters whose names I hadn't seen before. I love to think there's some reader out there engaged in my makies who I don't even know about.  Makes me feel all interesting. And really, it may just be slung together bits, but I engage my deepest thoughts about existence in it more often than not somehow. Even if its just that sparkly lights make me think of night skies makes me think of my/our place in the infinite flow... And old stuff makes me think of time and eternity and shit.... Me talk good.

And yes, pink. Gotta problem with that?

Blogger's not letting me post without a title which is amusing. Imna just start copying people's funny tweets for titles. In honor of the 4th of July:

@TheNardvark
I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve blown four of my fingers off with illegal fireworks.

Now I can't stop reading funny tweets.

@bazecraze
It's so humid today I keep expecting a southern lawyer to do his closing argument.

My Mexican waiter put my food down in front of another white lady who looked nothing like me. I get it now.           Oh wait that's not my waiter.

(Little map beads are in all these stacks, though it's hard to spot any details among the clutter. Thanks for those, Claudia!)

First some funny tweets, then some redonk gifs and no one will be able to look away!

Ok, Ok, I'll stop. Back to bidness.

Oceantide.

This is a different stack than the previous. Don't know if you can tell. 

 Wait no but really. Look at this pink side of ham.

So by the way, since I'm always oxidizing or handing oxidized stuff, I'm always washing my hands and they're very dry. I discovered coconut oil and can't stop slathering the stuff all over myself. So healing and wonderful! Here's 101 uses for it. It'll even help with taxes and take out the trash!* And it's inexpensive.
Thought I'd pass along the tip.
