Generally, although restrictions are far less strict than the rest of the site, we do generally require some sort of content in every blog post. In that sense it's not necessarily exactly what your own personal "blog" might be. It's kind of your own space to post about whatever you want, but it has to actually be about something. This blog will likely be closed, but don't get discouraged | ||

I don't know if I'm being a bit rash, but I'd call it an abstract masterpiece among modern short stories. serious ly, Thank You for this blog. CricketeR Yup, that's pretty much the justification that real art critics give for why things like the 30 paintings (pictures?) of a Campbell's soup can should be considered a part of modern art. I actually heard one of them say this: "The fact that this soup can is not in an industrial, or kitchen setting, but in a modern art studio, is what truly makes this a work of art" I just couldn't believe it. Its as bad a justification as you could possibly give. Your justifications for why this post should be considered a work of modern art are probably more than acceptable to the serious art critics out there. You could probably say, the fact that this isn't a complex, deep post showcases a controversial new take on the art of posting: That of simplicity, the raw introductory message. It challenges our conceptions that every message should contain a deep meaning; and forces us to come to terms with our own expectations and desires in a sublime act of self-awareness, precisely at the moment when we realize we have hit the end of the message. And in that moment of realization, we are confronted by some deep and troubling questions: What are my expectations of a poster? How do they reflect on me? How do they reflect on society as a whole? What does this say about human nature? Or maybe you could print this out and tape it to a portrait, and stamp the word "THIS IS NOT ON A FORUM" and get some deep response from viewers, just like when someone painted a pencil, then wrote "this is not a pencil" underneath it, and got the adoration of the artistic community for its deep, controversial insights that art isn't actually the same as reality - I know, jaw droppingly intelligent realizations are going on!!! Or if that fails, you could just throw a bunch of paint on a canvas and call it art! No one will notice anymore XD (note, people actually do just throw paint on a canvas, and yes it has been accepted in museums of modern art). Either that or just paint the whole sheet a monotone brown. I'll pay $100,000 for that one!! Okay I'm done now . I liked this blog overall. Very nice and simple. Really made me realize how much I appreciate simplicity in life. Thank you OP for returning me to a state of peace. The italicized writing at the end was a really nice touch; even though your name is already at the top, its still enjoyable to read it again in that nice italicized font. | ||

Man...you just don't understand. To truly take in something as masterful as the word CricketeR you'ver realy gotta be high class. You know? Possess a very high level of intelligence. Even the simplest minds can appreciate realism but you've gotta be Einstein reincarnated in order to see the beauty of a speck of paint in the Northwest corner of a canvas. When you reach that level of intelligence when you are smart enough to see clothes where there are none is the time when you can begin to appreciate art for the first time in your life.

His feigned ignorance truly shows the ART that is posting, that battle of minds which ceaselessly scorches the digital plane that is the internet. Such meaning, such power, all in one sentence, oddly spaced over two lines, creates the perfect meta atmosphere to which we all strive. + Show Spoiler + amidoinitrite | ||
