Art Scene of One

While I’ve never found myself to be a gifted artist in any traditional sense, I approach most facets of my life as if I am working on a piece of art. As if I’m purposely forming a type of “living” art that nobody can actually see, and would have to think abstractly to even appreciate.
I think that by this point in time, we are so “post-everything” in terms of what art means, that we cannot view it as being only the tangible or in the traditional sense. The problem here lies mainly in the fact that it leaves me as the only person to truly grasp and reflect on the art I’m supposedly creating, which questions it’s credibility. 
A form of invisible, intangible, isolated art? That sort of makes it a new breed of art scene entirely…
So win-win, I’m the leader in the genre.

Comedians are the only ones paid to tell the truth in public discourse. Everybody else—politicians, news broadcasters, religious figures—we’re all paid to be oracles, when in fact we are like a good public-relations man.
