Deviation Actions
Today, I spent about half an hour clicking the "Random Deviation" button. I'm that sort of person who loves to explore new stuffs--you know I'm a Pandora fan from that. But eh. I digress.
The main point is that I spent half an hour clicking the "Random Deviation" button and seeing ABSOLUTE SHITE.
I am going to rant now. Be forewarned.
1. Why does everyone with a camera think he/she/ze is le BigShot? My mind is blown at how many thoughtless little things are shot and uploaded to Deviantart. Digital spam in a can.
2. Why does every animetween feel the divine calling to become le BigMangaka and stop learning to draw any other style? For some reason, I personally don't appreciate when life is stagnant--yet, evidently, these kids CRUTCH along on their "dbz/Naruto/OnePiece/DeathNote/YuYuHakusho/Evangelion/other-inspired" styles. They do not see. They do not feel. They only copy, and many times they copy badly. The pointed noses, the bad anatomy, the sharp-sharp lines, GRAHAHAHAHAHADGRRRR. There is no improvement when one only follows a single path, and does not stop to take a look at other ways.
Turn back. Desist. Learn your anatomy. And stop crutching!
3. Why are there so many annoying, ranty, blasting, stupid, angry journalers out there?
"You're sooo original, the way you flame the photographers and what little artistic ability they have."
"You're SOOO sharp, the way you take apart the little anime-otaku-desu-kids out there."
I hate those journalers. They're gross. Like me.

Devious Journal Entry
Why do I bother writing these things? Oh, I know-- in the vain hope that maybe they mean something, and that maybe I will remember something of my past when all's said and done with me.
Frustrations Relating to Art and Attitude
I'll open with a realization that I had, today, about with Deadmau5 and his music. In general, I am greatly annoyed by Deadmau5--or if you prefer, Joel Zimmerman. It isn't necessarily that I dislike his work--even with its endless, sometimes boring repetitions and its slow development, it's got its moments.
For example (just to prove that I actually listen to his work): "Ghosts n Stuff" is a good track musically, with its signature chord progression--monolithic, smashing into the listener's mind. I also love the vibrating, soulful feel of the introduction of "Some Chords" and the subsequent juxtaposition with high, jumping siren loops. Both
Devious Journal Entry
See, what's REALLY horrible is that I'm a hypocrite. Oh, te noes. The horror. The agony. Burn, wench, burn, in a really deep pit of deepness. No one loves you. Go cry in a bucket and drown in your own tears. You should be put in a toaster.
Well, see, the problem is that I am also at fault for crutching along, just like the MangaKiddies and the leBigShot Photographers. Most of the time, I really only do one style of work--I haven't uploaded any of them yet. But it's problematic when I can't do "quality" work, and then I blast others.
On one hand, it's natural. Or so I tell myself. Because it's so very easy to find fault with other people and

Most people do not reply to themselves. Then again, I am not most people and I will attempt to leave a note for my younger-by-a-few-weeks self. (if only I was the Doctor from Dr. Who...)
But, I digress. Onto the main point.
I realize now that the hate I felt--if it can be called that--towards anime-drawing kids and myself, at the time, was due to the lack of self-respect in both cases. The anime-drawing kids blindly worshiped a certain ideal, believed themselves to be incapable of creating original and wonderful work (which is untrue--I'm pretty convinced that everyone can create art, in some form or another), and so copped the style of the older mangakas. In turn, I was pissed off at myself for my chronic self-defeatism and negativity.
Oh, geez.
I don't know if it helps at all, but maybe by typing out these following words, I can make some small change:
Silly person. Do not hate yourself. Respect all that you might be. Respect all that I might be.
(ad infinitum)
