I think you've described feelings we've all had at one stage. I for one get angry when I see 'art' which has been vastly overrated. You know the type... a blue potato print on a black background selling for €40,000? I shit you not. I saw this so called 'painting' a week or two ago in a private gallery.<BR/><BR/>When I pointed at it and said 'Seriously?!' I got a long and boring history of the artist and his moods and how he's not appreciated in his time. Yawn. I've seen more creative puke puddles in Dublin!<BR/><BR/>I'm with you, dudette.

I don't regret the sentiment about pretention but in my efforts to vent I've actually become a pretentious critic and that's not something of which I am proud. I'll leave it here because the blog was always meant to be honest and in the moment. But my apologies for being a sanctimonious dick. Can a girl be a dick?

If anything, you're hyper-modest and very eloquent in pictures and in words. As you know, I'm no great lover of poetry but I do know good writing when I see it and I was just annoyed at the pretentiousness of a whole bunch of commenters admitting to their creativity but when I checked their stuff . . meh.<BR/><BR/>I'm not angry any more. It's always a flash in the pan with me.<BR/><BR/>And don't apologise, diversity is truth.Bainohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156193098088048637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-27717923541951481522007-07-08T12:32:00.000+10:002007-07-08T12:32:00.000+10:00Yikes!

We all have problems and secrets. <BR/><BR/>I have to agree that there is a multitude of "normal" people, trying to be different. But, again, I don't think that there is a clear and concise line between normal and weird. Perhaps the line is a wee bit blurry. <BR/><BR/>Sorry Helen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-26725617073042835382007-07-08T09:09:00.000+10:002007-07-08T09:09:00.000+10:00Ooh I have anger alright.

That' not my point it's the pretention of claiming your 'creative' to which I object. It's a subjective statement that others bestow. I'm not sure I know what 'normal' is anyway. I might be boring but I don't think I'm normal. i.e. don't fit the mould of 'norm'Bainohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156193098088048637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-5217369334338879312007-07-08T08:25:00.000+10:002007-07-08T08:25:00.000+10:00Good to see you have anger at least.I reiterate my...Good to see you have anger at least.<BR/><BR/>I reiterate my point though.
