What is Art?
[inlink]ajay,100[/inlink]

The question of what is art is a good one. That can be debated for hours and hours. That is just on the nudity topic alone and where that line is crossed. That is not even including the differant forms of art. I think that anything that is done in one way but is altered can be considerd art. For example I used to be a stock boy. Yes anyone can do stock and fill the shelves. But When I filled Sobe I couldn't have two simalur colors close to each other. It looked better and made them more noticable to have opposite colors next to each other. I did that on my own and no one every told me to do it that way. Back then most of the bottles looked kinda the same. I would not say that stocking a shelf with drinks is art. But you can use it as a form of expressing artistic vision in a certain confined way.

I think that the music as art concerts are important because I think Music is an art and it is very important for kids to learn about music if they want to. Music dosn't have to be about being commerical or being famous it can be about expressing yourself artisticly.
We are lucky to be able to have that debate here in meny countries they can not. I admit I do like art but don't go to see it that often, Yes I need to get out and see more of it. I am honest, I need to go to more then Just allentown and music as art. When I say art I mean painting and sculptures as opposed to movies and music they are art to but I put them in a differant catogory. Ok enough of my rambilings.

Missed work Learned about N.Korea
I woke up late today so I missed my ride to work. I could have gone in but I would have missed 2-3 hours plus I was tired. But I called in sick so I will get paid for the entire day.

Last night I taped 2 shows on the history chanel. One was called "inside North Korea" and the other was "The Real Dr. Evil" both where about North Korea. They where both very good and very interesting. I'm not that very political but there where still good. I think some one who is more into human rights and gettng invovled with other countries would enjoy it more, but all of it might be old to them. Some might say why do I care about North Korea. One i have seen lots of pictures of South Korea. One of my cousins Has taught English to kids in Soul for a few years I forget how meny. Secondly if there is to be another world war I think North Korea is where it might start. Thirdly I'm not a fan of Bush but North Korea I do think may really be part of the Axis of evil. I don't know enough to tell. It is a much more complicated sitution than Iraq.


I can't say as I know what The US should do in regards to N. Korea but I did enjoy what I learned, some of it was very emotional and you could understand both sides of the story, from what I saw.

Internet Cafes & Cofee shops
I admit I don't like cofee so I don't go to Higher Grounds,Spot or Starbucks very often. When I was in toronto they have a bunch of internet cafes where you can use a couputer for I think $3 an hour or something like that but they are not coffee shops. I think a computer place with coffee would be a good idea. As long as it was advertised as both. The libary works fine for me. But I think it could be a cool place to hang out after the bars have closed or during the day also. I don't know how the money side of things would be run; like how much to charge. The Computersor the coffe could be free but not both of course or One could be free with purchase of the other. I don't know of any internet cafes in Buffalo, or any Places that are real Cafes where you can go on line. I think one could do very well on elmwood. It could even be like a local version of boarders and the book store could have computers. I have herd you can read an entire book in there with out ever being talked to as long as you shop at there cafe.

Oh on another note now that I know how to put up a user pic and that it works I hope to put up a newer one soon. That was from when I had the hair on the side of my head short. I didn't think it looked that blurry before but I can't remember for sure.
