Too many posts by the same person on a discussion board.......-
Dang! You beat me to it.

No smiling

Go and stand in the naughty corner for three hours.

No talking, that's another three hours now.

Claire, I think you are feeling a little fiesty today! -
You can join him.

You must not have read the 25 random things about me that I posted last week on my blog. Here's #20:
20. I have always been rebellious and I hate people telling me what to do. If you tell me what to do, I am likely to do the opposite. Just because.

Don't go to the naughty corner...? -
Go raise hell in the naughty corner more like it!

My studies. -

Your SPAM depresses me the most. -
Yes I agree
-
-
the news depresses me...-
Negativity/ pessimism
-
-
Feeling like I'm stuck and have no purpose in life. If I dwell on that long enough, I'm depressed. -
Don't wake me up in the morning -
myself -
I know this is a cliche, but it is war that depresses me! As soon as I heard about a war, I feel depressed -
people - get out there and make a difference. Help one person a day and feel better about yourself. Give yourself a purpose don't wait for that feeling to just happen.
I look at the very articulate intelligent people you see on the TV and wonder who they have helped today? What difference have they made. Have they used their talents to do more than earn a fat pay check? -
thats a lovely thought friend..
-
My injury depresses me. 13 months and counting....... -
Sloth, gluttony, and greed. -
my bad habits
-
I usually choose not to get depressed but here recently the destruction of our constitution by the Obama administration does. -
the general public who are so greedy selfish ignorant and so narrow minded to only look out for themselves. -
I like his questions. They're insightful - always a deeper thing to be thought of when considering them.
What depresses me? Child abuse. Abuse of any kind. To know that someone or something is helpless and there is a power over them that is continually mistreating them. That depresses me. -
War, Famine & other Insanities of Humanity. -
The inablity to express oneself freely due to external circumstances -
What really depresses me at work, in so called relations with other people are:
1. stupidity,
2. arrogance,
3. cruelty,
4. lack of tolerance,
5. hatred
The points from 1 to 5 depress me also in relation to some families, social groups, nations and in a global perspective. -
yes child abuse, true! and routine which is very different from the first one -
Having to live with a disgustingly dirty roommate because I need the money.
-
The slow crawl of age. -
Moms and dads killing kids. I am in Orlando and it seems like it is always going on around here. -
The news & current affairs. I hate the news, so I try not to watch them. People take them as facts of the world, but they are often exaggerated fragments of information. Also, they're almost without an exception BAD NEWS. Good news don't sell, but that doesn't mean there isn't any. And the reason why good news don't sell is that everyone knows good news, they are not news worthy. That's why I think news distort our view of the world instead of enhance it.
I think it's good though that there are these short news headlines -things on the telly between your favourite programs, so you'll know if there's something going on that you have to look closer into. -
When the car will not start
-
It makes me happy when I fix it for the total of £2.50 (app $3) Whoopee
-
-
meth addicts -
People who confuse technology with science, opinions with facts, history with fairy tales, politics with sport, economics with financial scandals, religion with terrorism, poverty with lazyness, tolerance with laxism, law with justice, moral with political correctness, environment with ecofascism etc. -
I'm not depressed. Those things which vex me are a challenge, not a cause to surrender.

People whos lives revolve around money, I hate the stuff!-
It maybe so many were educated to misunderstood or even hate the stuff that only a few have 80% of the stuff
Money is the Blood of the Economy. Blood should not be a commerce by itself but the system has transformed Money into a commodity controlled by these few. As long as people do not understand how this system works, all revolutions will be useless and controlled by the same guys who controlled the old system because after each revolution the new system is just a marketing remake of the old one.
As Karl Marx said in his Communist Manifesto:
"Money plays the largest part in determining the course of history." (let's remark he never told who financed him ... I have enquired though and will make a post one day)
But most people are mentally incapable to understand how this system works according to the Rotschild:
"The few who understand the system will either be so interested in its profits or be so dependent upon its favours that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests." The Rothschild brothers of London writing to associates in New York, 1863.
Not because it is so complex but because:
"The study of money, above all other fields in economics, is one in which complexity is used to disguise truth or to evade truth, not to reveal it. The process by which banks create money is so simple the mind is repelled. With something so important, a deeper mystery seems only decent."
John Kenneth Galbraith (1908- ), former professor of economics at Harvard, writing in 'Money: Whence it came, where it went' (1975).

idleness.I guess. -
Working REALLY hard producing & promoting my art over the past year for virtually no benefit at all (if anything, I'm over $1000 in the red.) Particularly when I had already built up a following in Canada. Hard to start at the bottom of the ladder again & it's so conservative here, my art just doesn't seem to "fit."
In conjunction with this is the fact that NO ONE can ever get my name right. Hard to get recognition when it's constantly listed incorrectly.
I might quit the whole thing.-
What you said raises a couple of questions for me:
(1) What is recognition for an artist?
(2) If it "fits," is it really art?
I hope you don't quit (I'm sure you won't), because I'm sure you really love it and get tremendous satisfaction out of the process. -
Long story short; The "art" scene in my area is VERY cliquey & realism-focused. There's no room for a Yankee who paints in a visionary style.
As I told my husband when he encouraged me to get back into it some years back; "I don't want a spare room full of paintings collecting dust." That's exactly where I'm at now, with the added waste of over $1000 better spent elsewhere (in retrospect.)
I suppose I really loved it & got satisfaction out of it when I was young & naively thought there was a future in it. Now I'm 41 & wiser. -
Have you tried local banks, restaurants, coffee shops, etc., just to get your work seen? They're often amenable to having paintings and photographs displayed on their walls. Our local library just had a huge show,welcoming anyone who was interested. I live in a small town
in Central New york, five hours north of NYC. Tastes tend to be more diverse and sophisticated here, but the Realism stuff still tends to predominate. -
My work has been seen. I'm still a damned Yankee who's bucking the current "realism" trend. One guy at a local show was talking with me about a painting that he really liked. When I answered his question about my background honestly, stating that I'd moved to the area from Canada a few years back, he snorted in sudden disdain & walked away.
I've found that people from the New Orleans area never go anywhere (look no farther than Hurricane Katrina for proof,) think that New Orleans is the be-all & end-all, & have no respect for anything that's not New Orleans. Moving here was the unseen, final nail in the coffin of my art career. I know that now.
(I grew up on Long Island, btw. ;))
