originally unoriginal

Trying to think of ideas for this here blog is not the easiest. My goal is to attempt to publish posts that are actually interesting to read, even browse or scan through if you will. Another is to not make this thing I've got going sound too much of the diary of teenage girl, thankfully I've progressed out of that. With that said it comes with the obligation (kind of a strong, binding word here) for me to be "original" with what I write. I don't know if it's just me but the thought of being "original" or doing something "original" has become such a cliché. Isn't that what we're all doing? Everyone's being "original". But what's unoriginal exactly? Social media has totally changed our viewpoints on a lot of things and I honestly hate it. It feels like everything has been said, all opinions have been given, every idea thought out and created. That's a totally different issue though. Mostly, I'm inspired by the things that I see and everyone around me--so are all of you--and I take that and elaborate on the idea. Easy enough. Well NOPE!

Most of the time the idea become all discombobulated in my head and it's all just one big mess. The following illustration represents the portrayal of said event:


I was recently browsing some site/app whatever it was that had a collection of various art pieces. Basically just a bunch of things that I love. Some (one) actually were a bit nostalgic. Exhibit A


My goodness! Space Ghost Coast to Coast. This is in my pile of ridiculous but great and random shows from the 90s. *Sidenote: add Gargoyles to that list as well. It was quite possibly the scariest thing I've seen as a child. I thought the entire storyline was a little intense for young children but that's just me.

Exhibits B,C, and D:



Looking at the aesthetics of things has become a life goal of mine. That's why I have a fondness for art and the idea behind different pieces. Even the ones at MoMA that consists of a bag of cat food in the corner of the room and the others that I doubtlessly could have produced myself. But hey, I'm not complaining...yes I am.
