artsy fartsy

lol i just thought these guys looked pretty fly. i dunno when this photo was taken but seems like it's from the 70's or 80's? this just goes to show old school fashion really does come back!

so i was thinking today...

i think i really do appreciate the arts. (i googled "the arts" and came upon the photo above)

and coming to that conclusion gave me a lot of comfort for some reason.

maybe everyone's like this to a certain extent but whenever i see something with a creative artsy flair like in music, photography, movies, paintings... i get slightly excited about it and just appreciate it even more. oh the creativity, imagination, emotion!

i think i sound pretty vague. some examples...

• in hillsong's "tear down the walls," there's a part in the song when it's no voices, just instruments and you can hear strings plucking in the background. it's so beautiful and soothing. when i hear it i get this huge sense of majesty.
• i saw this video which i got off of a friend's tumblr and i got the impression that the video maker tried to depict our everyday normal lives and how Jesus is still a huge part of it. that's huge in itself!
• love looking at photos and just seeing light peek through trees, vibrant colors popping out in unexpected places, facial expressions that perfectly capture emotion, black and white contrast, different perspectives & angles, colors that just work well together... ahh it's all just great eye candy :)
• i think cooking can be an art too right? it really gets my creative juices flowing. i love taking random ingredients and forming it into a beautiful orchestration of a dish. i love those cooking shows like top chef. the mind is so unique!

this must be why i'm so much more into the art rather than the science of nursing. i love how nurses all can bring their own flavor into their care. there isn't one way to do it. they make it their own.

i think i have a passion for trivia. those games like taboo, cranium, charades, catchphrase, scattergories really get my blood running and i get overly excited. i think i just like testing my brain to see how much stuff i know. esp random pop culture stuff! i love it! ok that was a totally random thought but just wanted to throw that in there!
