first blog evuhhhhh

Well...here is my first blog on this thing. After much convincing from a good friend i decided to set this up. i am not expecting many readers, in return you should not except good grammer or spelling along with crazy long winded rants.

so...what to blog about first. this could potentially be a first impression type thing which could influence whether you, the reader, continues to view my blogs.. so it should probably contain wit, personal experiences and some level of depth.
well screw that.

i thought i would add this..umm..stuff that i wrote which i put on my myspace blog..hope you enjoy.

what is beauty? predominantly it is defined by the individual. what's beautiful to me may not be beautiful to you.
beauty-both in people and objects or nature- is more than just an outward appearance. it runs deep. a beautiful person doesnt necessarily have to be physically attractive. a beautiful plant doesnt necessarily have to have the biggest or most colourful petals.
something is beautiful when it takes your breath away, when your heart skips a beat. beauty is very much connected to emotion. emotion is feeling. the feeling you get when you see the person you love or hear that persons voice, this is beautiful and that person is beautiful to you no matter what they look like.
beauty is forever changing. models that are considered beautiful today were not considered beautiful 200 years ago. different cultures have different perceptions of what beauty is.
beauty inspires.
popular mainstream media mainly defines for the uninformed and easily influence, what beauty is. for many, beauty is perfection. to me perfection is not achievable. in other words, perfection cannot happen in this life- only in the end. thus perfection being the end. beauty doesnt have an end. beauty goes on forever, changing and taking various forms, but still remaining beauty.
thoughts, creativity, intellignce. this is beauty. the inability to think, feel or choose for oneself is not beautiful.
beauty is opposition. complete harmony or complete anarchy is not beauty, there must be controlled chaos in which people have the freedom to state their own ideas and opinions. without this, progression cant be made. complete harmony or anarchy is conformity, this is boring and ugly.
beauty is TRUTH, love, happiness that comes from self achievement.
beauty radiates and is infectious.
beauty must come from within and from self exploration. to find out where one fits in the world, in society, to discover the wholeness of ones persona is beauty. this cannot be forced upon a person.
everything and everyone is different, thus beauty is different. it is individual, unique. to discover and accept ones own uniqueness, to capture and use, to exercise this uniqueness and share it with mankind; this is beauty.
creativity from within, new ideas and concepts, the ability to not be scared by the limitless potential within; this is beautiful.
beauty cannot be defined in a general matter for each and every person, animal, object or all or nature to abide by.
beauty is what the eye of the beholder sees.
beauty is beauty

beauty is beautiful
mmmm so i wrote that sometime last year while sitting trying to think of somethign to do for art. now i am doing visual arts at uniSA and my whole perception on what art is, should be, and can be, has completely changed. my mind has been opened to whole new possibilities of creativness. i wish i could spend all my time just being creative and experimenting with stuff but alas life goes on. but i have found this new way of looking at the world. seeing art and beauty in some of the most mundane happenings and objects. at risk of sounding corny, the world is one big canvas and art is happening all around us.
life can suck..take it from me, i know. but life can also be amazing..beautiful..and so fantastic..i think its just theway we choose to look at things. just like when two people lok at the same piece of art they may see two completely different things, this is because they are viewing it through kind of like a veil of their own life experiences. i guess thats how we view life aswell. but we have a choice, we can see the crap..or the beauty.
rant over.
peace out
