Art is a Verb

Art - Noun
1.the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance.
2.the class of objects subject to aesthetic criteria; works of art collectively, as paintings, sculptures, or drawings: a museum of art; an art collection.
3.a field, genre, or category of art: Dance is an art.

I look up the word to perhaps find a true meaning to it. But alas i fail. That seems to happen quite often. I cross these words in my head trying to convince myself its not true but find that undeniable passion to fail. I find it strange that people find art in failure. I fail to be all i can be. I strive for excellence but everyone else is expecting me to fail. Wanting me to fail. Not as an artist but as a person. I was told last night by someone that my failure is art. A bittersweet anthem of what it is to be a true human being. To be a devil's deviant, not his advocate. A true sin. Kasher harsh words blaring in my head that "art is hard." Kasher you lie! Failure is the easiest part of life. Art is a verb.

Enter a Boucing Device

I came home late last night. My clothes smelled of bar and cheap beer. Waking up with the same stench staining your nose can give you a head ache well to do especially when you find your youngest of your brotherhood passed out on the couch. Replaying last night over and over again in your head doesn't help. Her name was Diana...or was Pabst? Does it even matte? The chatter amongst age old friends...or age old aquaintinces still fills my brain with nostalgia. I couldn't have imagined she would be married, with a girl, house, and a husband that works nights. Never thought I'd see him stoned. Never thought that youthful bliss was just a kiss shy of stupidity. It's like the trampoline in my backyard: its a whole lot of fun jumping on it until you hit the ground.
