The Presentation of Art

So, until my A Nightmare on Elm Street review marathon begins, I thought I'd fill the time with a few articles. For today's, I want to touch on something I place great importance on - the presentation of art, or, the correct way of absorbing art.

What I mean by "the presentation of art" is how one watches a movie, how one listens to a song, how one takes in a painting, etc. It’s how the art is presented to you, and how you let it be presented to you. I know I probably shouldn't be, but I get really upset and even annoyed when people don't experience art correctly or don't put in the time and effort to really let themselves take in a piece of art. To me, it's a huge disservice to the artist and art, and is a huge disservice to the person themselves because they miss out on, and, more importantly, deny themselves, the opportunity to really take something in that could in fact truly touch and affect them had they given the art the attention it deserved.

One of the plainest examples I can give of this is when

SUNDAY UPDATES! and Song of the Moment

So I thought I'd start this new feature, Sunday Updates, where I post my favorite cards from the week's entries on PostSecret, and my favorite FML's from fmylife.com. I was going to do thisiswhyyourefat.com too, but that site doesn't get updated enough for me to pick new stuff every week :\

PostSecret - Two of them deal with loneliness. The other two are just funny :)









The motorcycle one I was thinking was kinda pathetic, but I realized that I'm not surprised that it is a reality that many people face so it became a little depressing that more people don't get to enjoy simple hugs. The library card one was a bit sad too, but I thought it was a little more happy and optimistic than just depressing.

FML
It's always hard to find a good FML. I find that a lot of entries seem fake and manufactured instead of genuine circumstances legitimate enough to exclaim "..fuck my life...". But anyways, here's the ones I enjoyed:
