1. I had a thought/criticism of modern art. Abstract art seems like a good idea, but it’s not, it only really means something to the painter unless the painter takes time to explain him/herself. I walked by my University’s gallery today and noticed that they had taken down the previous art exhibits. All that were left were nice white pedestals with great lighting. I thought I was going to name the absent art as an abstract piece. So I wrote “The greatest potential; a clean white space” on a piece of paper and dropped it on the pedestals. They want art… they got art.
2. Guys are nasty. Okay I know this is going to sound crude but: when you walk into a guy’s bathroom and you smell that unearthly smell emanating from the toilet…. Well I’m a science person so let’s look at it this way, a) is this smell an aromatic molecule that makes it’s way from the ‘solid refuse’ into my nose? Ie. am I breathing essence of someone else’s ‘solid refuse’? or b) is the smell actually very small suspended particles of ‘solid refuse’ in the air? I could see that if enough pressure was applied to the ‘solid refuse’ that when it hit the water surface it actually stripped and suspended some of the ‘solid refuse’ in the same manner as high velocity bullet hitting water. So am I actually getting small particles of someone else’s ‘solid refuse’ up my nose? Any thoughts people? Am I breathing essence of s*** or just plain old fashioned s***?
3. But I did actually learn two things today: 1) you want to function? You gotta sleep and eat. Sleep and food are good.
4. Second, true and false questions are really hard to write. Semantics, spelling, points of view, disclaimers, wordiness etc. are all very tricky. Eh… so much for naïve thoughts of quick, easy and effective.
