"Lust for Life" ? ...


...and he shoots himself eventually? I don't understand it. I prefer Monet and his parasols. So much more sheltered !!

Why do I use exclamations so often? That is what my students ask me. Apparently my slides are peppered with them. I apparently also use apparently very often.

That latter answers itself easily. It is so much easier to sit on the fence, to equivocate, to be ambivalent...

And where am I going with this? I have no idea. None at all.

Hail anarchy and confusion...I shall spend another year meandering through life !!!!!

the way the entry starts out, i am reminded of `the only philosophical question'. heidegger once said `The only genuine philosophical question is why there is something rather than nothing.' which is taken to be a euphemism for `the only real philosophical question is whether to kill yourself.' i think that is what the artist has to contend with, perpetually looking into the self and into the hearts of everyone, without judgement.
