    To paraphrase Potter Stewart, art is hard to define, but I know it when I see it.

    Really, if you take a step back and think about it, art is so subjective, it seems futile for there to even be critics of any capacity. For someone to create something and have it elicit an emotional reaction in another human is really amazing, if you think about it. The fact that there are people who get paid to critique this phenomenon is really pretty sad.

    Hey, maybe I finally have a topic to do a blog on!

    To tell the truth I've been very intimidated by the blog in general. I feel like nothing I want to write about will fit into the general theme of the blog, and anything that I start writing ends up being really long.

    Dude, don't worry about it. Write whatever you want and screw the "theme."

    Heh...Listen to me...I haven't posted on my blog since October. Hell, maybe I'll do that tonight, maybe I'll even tackle current events this time...
