Egon Schiele



I learned today that I really like this artist despite him being sort of a pervert (or at least in his time he was considered to be one). It makes me want to sketch and paint and this is annoying because I seem to get into inspired artistic moods when I have to do something that has nothing to do with art. I have to write a paper for anthropology right now. Anyways Egon Schiele, he was a coolio.

Here is a song about him. He did lots of self portraits.

Music for Egon Schiele (1995)








Smoking crack and cutting crack



Lately I've been contemplating where I fit in the context of the whole and why people don't care or want to know about the rest of the big world out there and the many ideas circulating around it. This kind of stuff seems like a life mission to me and I thought for everyone, that it is good to learn, experience, love as much as possible. Anyways part of this starts with the fact that I went to this world music festival happening at my school last weekend. Not a lot of people showed up and this saddened and annoyed me. Anyways I heard some groovy sarod and tablas. Here's a video to give you an idea about that.



I was in the throes of despair not long ago but then something happened that was hopeful and reaffirming. Now I am too busy to feel one way or another. I might be winding back down into sadness. Here is some music. I don't know what I mean by it. I don't know where I am. But everything sounds good somedays.
