Details

I think that attention to detail is important. I would say that this blog gives a decent insight into my thought processes. Other people may not think that all the intricate details of someone's thought processes are important/interesting, but I do, so I like to put down all the little things that led to me having an idea, that kind of thing. 

On two different occasions I have been curious about, to say broadly, what went into the making of something. One is some lego masks that were featured in a men's fashion show. (ADD PICTURe) Another is regarding the chrome theme I use. Both of the people who designed these two things have social media accounts, so I contacted them that way with my questions. Neither of them responded and that is something I resent. Ugh. Maybe I'll try to email them. If I become some kind of designer/otherwise end up producing something that people may have questions about, I would make an attempt to explain my thoughts behind something if someone happened to inquire about it. Apparently other people do not feel obligated to do that. Boo. 

Over the coming weeks/months there are some things that I would like to do/accomplish. One of the things is to indulge in creative pursuits, like crochet, screen printing, embroidery, and other things. Something semi-related to those things is that I would like to see some art in art museums. Another thing is that I would like to practice journalism for my own self-enrichment. Hopefully I can find some people who are willing to be interviewed. I may make a separate blog for the practice journalism, or I may publish it here. I haven't really decided yet. The next thing is that I would like to learn about and become familiar with Andy Warhol in minute detail. There are some books I think that would help me with this. I would like to know as much about Andy Warhol as I know about Law and Order. 

Since starting this blog post the other day, I have now acquired a copy of "Andy Warhol Diaries," so that should be an interesting read. It's very long; a review of it on Amazon said that it was the size of a phone book which is a pretty accurate description. It has caused me to consider the idea of keeping a meticulous record of the things that I see/do/etc like Andy Warhol did. So I think I'll give it a shot. 

Today, 8th of May. 
I was on the bus this morning at 11, just past then and I was maybe 5 minutes away from the bus stop. There was a little old lady driving a turquoise car and I thought that I would want to have a car in that color. I like bright colors. 
Then later in the day I was on the bus again and some dude sat next to me and he was large and squished me which I also resented and I got fairly enraged in my head. I wanted to punch him but that would've been a good way to get arrested or something. 
I don't have any candy left so tomorrow I think I would like to get some candy. Sour worms and caramels. 
In the future I would like to go to an art museum and see the art as well as the other people in the museum.
I listened to that David Bowie song that I sort of like, even though I don't like any of the other songs I've heard of his. This one was used over the credits of a movie I watched which is how I came to know it. 

Since I had a conversation that was not via text message and therefore cannot be backed up and archived, I would like to put down some of the ideas that I said in that conversation so they are not lost.

"Do you think some subjects are more conducive to critical thinking than others? This is another semi-rhetorical question.

I'm trying to think of a subject that isn't very conducive to critical thinking. Maybe algebra/other math. Who knows. Maybe I'm just saying that because I don't like math."

For me I would say that sociology causes me to think. I don't know if the thoughts that I think about sociology are considered critical thinking, but I think sociology is more interesting to ponder than math.

Apparently this is the definition of critical thinking: the objective analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form a judgment

So I think my conclusion about sociology vs math is correct. My judgement that I've made about math is that I don't like it and don't want to think about it. I don't plan to become a mathematician so I think I'm all set already with all the math I need to know for my life.

I wonder what it would take to become the next/a modern day Andy Warhol. And by that I mean (whoa am I getting distracted!!) someone who has a similar cultural impact as he has had, not necessarily someone who does paintings of soup cans and silkscreen artwork.

Maybe if I start a meticulous diary it will put me one step closer on the path to becoming a modern day Andy Warhol.

Have protester ever killed anyone??
