Trite and Pompous at the Same Time!

Well, so much for making cool art stuff. I found out I'm horribly obvious and heavy-handed. Oh well.

Here are my two versions of what everybody (read: 5 people) sent in. Also, thanks for sending me some cool pictures.

What does it all mean? Only everyone can know for sure!

Version 1


Version 2

B-B-B-B-Back in.....Ah, who cares.

You know, I've had a lot of disappointments in my life. Once, I reached into a box of Wheat Thins only to realize that I had already eaten them all. Another time I got two of the same McDonald's Monopoly pieces on the same soda cup. Then this other time when I thought I was going to get a million dollars, I actually got hit in the head with a cricket bat (I don't think "bat" is the right word. Cricketers probably call it a "stollie" or a "widger" or a "trollop" or something).

But nothing has been as disappointing as the response to my post from last Tuesday. Four pictures? Four pictures!? And one from someone that I've never even met? Wait, no. TWO FROM PEOPLE THAT I HAVE NEVER EVEN MET, WELL OKAY, ONE OF THEM I HAVE SEEN FROM ACROSS THE ROOM BUT I DIDN'T ACTUALLY TALK TO THEM AND THEN THEY WENT BACK TO ARIZONA. Seriously, come on people, I know there are at least three others of you that have seen the post. Throw me a bone here. It was going to be awesome and then you had to go and screw it up in the only possible way: NOT FINDING AND %$#(&^$(&#)*%$ PICTURES!

It's not so hard. Watch....

See? Was that so hard? It took like, three minutes to find those. You just have to type in any old search term and something will come up. Hell, there's even 71 results for "denouement!"

Can we try this again?

Mottled Graying Stars

Ha ha! Remember that one time when I tried to get a big communal art project/survey going? And remember how nobody answered it because I never posted it anywhere? Well, here it is. You can put your answers in the comment section! It's a game! For each answer, you get one point! Then you lose all your points! Nobody wins!

Anyway, here's a better idea for a communal project. This one is a poem. I wish I had thought of this first instead of my friend Kirk. I also wish I had 61 people to leave me comments. Oh well.

Anyway, here's my new idea: photos.

I am going on vacation tomorrow (if visiting family is really vacation). While I am gone, here is what I want you to do.

1. Go to flickr.com


2. Choose any photo you find that you like (actually, no nudes please, this is a family site you pervert).


3. Leave the url in the comment section.


4. Tell your friends to do the same thing.

When I get back from vacation I will look at all the photos and incorporate them into some kind of project. Then I will submit it to some art museum and we can all be famous. OR, I can just post it here and we can all think, "wouldn't it be cool if this thing blew up like Post Secret and everybody started submitting stuff to it and we started it?"

That is so not going to happen.
