You ever love some music or art or comic book or novel so much you're grateful the artist was ever born, then you're glad you're alive and well fed and sheltered enough to actually have the leisure time to enjoy it? So much that you're glad matter, energy space and time exist to let you enjoy it? I mean, thank goodness subatomic particles coalesced out of the fires of creation so that I could one day enjoy Autechre, Dave Kelly, Vernor Vinge, sunsets, kittens and lollipops. And horsie! |

absolutely. although i'm not passionate about art or literature anymore (and it saddens me to admit this), when it comes to music there're probably 50 artists or bands who i just have to thank the creator for blessing us with on this imperfect earth. that's why whenever i talk to a musical artist i like i make a point to just say thanks for making music, and not take my being able to communicate w/ them for granted. |

Yeah, I was unexcited and dead for the longest time about music and literature after I tried to overextend myself as a student/employee/writer/musician/web guy/idiot, but now it sustains me. This is a Good Thing. It's sad to look back on yourslef and think, I was so much more alive then. |

Very well said, I agree. It's good to sit back and appreciate the gift's other people want to share with you, not only artist but people you know. |

Oddly enough, sometimes it's art that you appreciate first, then you have to widen your scope to notice what's in your room and your neighborhood and your continent. Sometimes it's easier to cry about the death of a character in a novel than about a relative or close friend. I believe the word is katharsis: certain works of art function as lenses that allow us to focus our emotions and ideas, which we express through our reactions to the works. Okay, that's enough earnestness for one night; I'm off to rape, cook and eat some toddlers. |

99.99999% of the joy I get out of life derives from music, I can NOT live without it... anytime I'm deprived of it, I become an irritable wreck, I gouge peoples' eyes out and stuff. It's actually a problem, because all I ever want to do is music related, I've got no incentive to do anything else. |
