Good Evening Oddballers,
Oddball is back, again, and is now going to do what most artists like to do...vent. Ha! No. Just Kidding.
I am going to talk about something similar to that though, why we like it?
What drives me to want to tell my friend how awful they are as a person? To me, this is extremely disturbing, I am driven, to personally, hurt someone's feelings for what??? What do I want out of the situation? Someone to cry? Someone to realize how totally inadequate they are?? No matter the reason, it is still wrong, but yet I catch myself doing it before it happens all the time. I just want to take that knife and just drive it in...LOL
I guess we as artists strongly dislike competition. It isn't like we realize we are doing it and do it anyway. We just don't like to have other people POTENTIALLY stand in our way. We want the whole playing field to ourselves...every stinking blade of freakin' grass. And no one else can have it. So when someone decides to create something, no matter what it is, it bothers the artist if there is a possibility that one day, they will get better.
WE NEED DO WORK on this!!!
I am not saying stop, because that would take years to train out of an artist, however, we as artists need to be consistently working at not telling people how we feel all the time. I know, people that shoot a video not following the rule of thirds and basic three point lighting structure is very, irritating, but we need to know that some people just don't know, and we need to be mindful of that.
I wish you luck on your closed tongue adventure...because it is an adventure for me.
