Today is just one of those days. I'm drowning underneath all of the things I need to get done. Luckily I have the help of Corey and Tyler. Moving day should be easy as well with all the help I am receiving from my friends

Comments

I understand about the friends thing.

[starxsatellite]

Thanks Cassieeeeee.

I'm seeing you this weekend right?!

An artist is someone who can actually make something you can see. Poetry is not art, and writing itself is not art. I understand why people who write disagree because they themselves think they are artists, but they are writers, poets. etc.. Anything that the eye can see (not read) is what an artist is capable of doing. I DON'T CARE IF YOU THINK POETRY IS ART, BECAUSE IT'S FUCKING POETRY.

Wrong wrong wrong wrong WRONG!

Make a fucking painting or a drawing.

I am a horse whose dick is slaggy.
My cat is angry and quite haggy...

Am I an artist now?

Nope. I'm a fucking idiot who can write bullshit

DO SOMETHING.

Thanks.

[troutsavedmylyf]

Hahaha. Yeah. I have to assume this is a joke, because no one Cath is friends with could be this inarticulate and arrogant. But you're right--you are a fucking idiot who can write bullshit. You artist, you. Hah.

[anonymous]

Clearly I offended you and I'm sorry for that. I didn't know I had to be articulate when I post Live Journal comments, the internet is so super serial these days. Anywho, opinions are opinions and I stated mine.

[troutsavedmylyf]

Oh, no, I'm not really offended by your comment, though I am annoyed and frustrated by it's lack of substance. And no one ever has to be articulate, but it certainly helps when you are trying to use words to describe your thoughts accurately or carry any sort of half-meaningful dialog with another human being. Or else you just kind of sound like an ass who has nothing of value to say. Thanks for the apology, though. But I draw and paint as well as write and play music, so I guess I'm an "artist" by your definition either way. Whoopdie doo.

[wakinginadream]

ok..... there's fine lines all over this donkey. I think that the real argument is, what qualifies, or moreover.... a person as an artist, not what is art

[starxsatellite]

hahahah "there's fine lines all over this donkey"

"The problem is, people who prance around in their fancy pants, smoking their cigarettes, and drinking their coffee, screaming Im an artist, Im an artist"

You forgot to include the part where the coffee cup is actually filled with hot cocoa because they don't actually like the taste of coffee. They do like the aesthetically pleasing look of smoking a cigarette and drinking their "Coffee" because it gives them that super edgy, artistic look that all the 17 year old girls are going for!

[troutsavedmylyf]

Damn straight the 17 year old girls go for it. Turns 'em on like a light switch. Best thing since roofies. Giggidy.

This is my last comment here, because I no longer see the point and pretty much conclude that Corey, with his oddities, has stated the problem somewhat meaningfully. The issue for Catherine is not what connotes the work of "Artists" but what criteria one must meet in order to be one. Unfortunately, it is a topic you will never come to a conclusion on.

As for the anonymous dope, I save my energies.

Signing off.

[thinkingofshe]

Stating an opinion doesn't make someone a dope. Copying the definition of "artist" from dictionary.com makes you just as silly.

Opinions are opinions. Suck em down your tube.

[pixietrix]

Wouldn't an Artist be someone that creates something within the definition of "The Arts"? Which you admit are Writing, Acting etc. Therefore your argument makes no sense, because you admit that those things are considered an Art and the person creating them would be the Artist. See? I think Jon makes a valid point that as an Artist yourself you should be able to accept that other people who are not involved in your specific type of Art are also Artists themselves. If I were a Writer or a Dancer or a Singer or an Actor I think I would be extremely offended by what you are saying. You are allowed your opinion of course but I think you are crossing a bit of a line.

[ihatetylerbaird]

Well, I don't think any Dancers, Actors, or Singers would be offended by this because she clearly stated that an "Artist" is someone who does something aesthetically pleasing. I get what you're saying, but I don't think it crosses the line.

Bungalo Jack attck.

[starxsatellite]

I'm not crossing any lines, it's MY livejournal. MY thoughts. The conclusion we all came to was that there is no line. There's no right answer. We obviously all have different opinions and it's just fun to argue for the sake of arguing. It provokes thought and intelligent conversation, something that is pretty rare lately. Even if we are just talking over the internet.

I'm not close minded to the different forms of art. I'm not saying, "if you don't do what I do then you suck". I'm just arguing the correct definition of the word. That's all. I'm not putting down any form of art. I'm not saying people who don't draw aren't talented or something, I'm just putting the question out there.... "What makes someone an artist?"

I don't think (and hope) that anyone is offended.

[ihatetylerbaird]

I hope everyone gets offended. I hate you all. Why in god's name did I start doing this livejournal shit again after 2 fucking years? That should be the new debate/argument.
