That Kid Tries Too Hard
Posted by Anonymous on Thu, Jan 19, 2012 at 4:49 PM
Why is it that, in order to be an 'artist' in this town, you have to live like a pig? Seriously. In what way does a lack of personal hygiene and property maintenance relate to 'creating art'? I really don't get it. I don't know how many houses I've been to where a bunch of unwashed 'artists' live and there's dirt for a lawn, numerous disassembled bikes strewn about, beer bottles that have been on the porch for what appears to be months and a general aura of filth. Not only this, but these people have to shove their 'art' in your face every chance they get. Being loud and arrogant is not a substitute for creativity.
"Hey man, we like creating art here, fuck the Man's rules on keeping our shit clean, and fuck the neighbors too. Pass the Kombucha, dude". It just turns me off and whatever 'art' you think you're creating is just written off as a piece of crap made by some spoiled dumb-shit with nothing better to do. Btw, I write songs and if anyone wants to hear my stuff, drop me a line.

Sounds like IA's on some serious HATEraide 'cause he's/she's not at all talented to do squat, sounds like to me.
Don't be mad, bro. Not everyone is gifted. I'm sure there's some wonderful attribute you possess - other then bitching and whining about how other people live.

Most people are capable of making art of some sort. Now, does that mean that everybody *should*? That's a whole 'nother thing.

Unfortunately, OP, yr bitching about a phenomenon that has existed, everywhere that "artists/lemmings/young people" congregate, for many, many years.
Just like those who want to scale the corporate ladder dress and act the part, the majority of those who fancy themselves "artists" do the same. I suppose the annoying aspect is that, unlike the suits, they often consider themselves unique or non-conformist when they're anything but.

I DO fuck myself, actually. On a regular basis. I even get some assistance on occasion. So, telling me to "go fuck myself" is about as redundant an "insult" as can be.
13
doesn't fucking oneself is like screwing yourself? and sometimes you seek for assistance? Cliffy, men, you're reaally twisted.
14
Well if you wanna spend alot of time mentally visualizing that scenario, go right ahead. Apparently, you already invest significant amounts of time thinking about me, anyways.
And faustino, it's "Well THEN".
And Leaky, don't even get me started on the numerous grammatical errors of YOUR last post.

Man, you're out of sight/out of mind until i come here to comment. Don't get full of yourself, darky.

Dude, Gaddafia, just shut up, your annoying even when your trying not to be annoying. Youdirtyyuppie get your hands of me.
But really, you seek assistance to screw yourself? No, dont answer that, you already did. No really. dont answer that.
Uuuuhhhh, Faustino, someone has a crush on you. Uuuuu Uuuuuu. Your internet status is going up.
Cliffy is falling for Faustino, how exiting.
Gafafia, Doooont even get me started on your lame ass. Using 2 vowels is not a gramatical error, and you cant correct someone in gramaticas when yerself makes so many and is so oblivious about the real rules of writing. (not the ones taught to second graders)
Are you for real dagafia, did you thaught like 6 graders or something. I think they nebulized part of their behaviarual brain into you, and you remained that way for ever.
Am pretty sure you wear ugly sweaters and go to conventions about vitamins.
We got a cultural leech here trying to cash in in the Portland "world take over", kill it before it grows.
She will later do a scale replica made on lego and play sims on it.
gafadia, shut me up.
start typing fast and furios on that keyboard like a good automaton should.

Leaky, i ceased attempting to read that garbled mess of YOURS within the first sentence. Here, lemme do you a favor:
"Dude, Gaddafia, just shut up, your annoying..."
Dude, Gaddafia, just shut up, YOU'RE annoying...
There. That's better. Now, what else were you saying?
"Dude, Gaddafia, just shut up, your annoying..."

There. That's better. Now, what else were you saying?
21
Your annoying even when you disguise youself as an automatic auto spell checker, and of course you read my comment. You silly empty kitchen toaster.
Do you have pets, and in case of an Apocalyptic event, can I cook em Gafadia?
Do you want to be like Oprah one day.
It seems to me like everything you do is for a failed "book" you want to write someday, or for some sort of document. My God you will fail miserably.
That has been attempted already, they will edit the shit out of it, till its virtually another book, not the one you wrote. You will not like this, and seek revenge on all levels of the editing company.
Now back to the Oprah thing. She does not get raitium by biing beyond all bearing, she gets ratium by giving away mustangs and ricochets, and hummmers.
The GaddafiA Talk show. You were sayin?
You have a fat ass and fugly looking friends.
22
what happened cliffy, are you watching re runs of oprah, and moving your fat ass to an form the computer along your chinese jump suit. Jerry Springer was best. Yer too slow, Fuking christ, everyday the same thing. Cant you go faster or something?
24
at what exactly? at seeing an Idiot everyday who suddenly came out of nowhere on a blog by what means? Who is totally alien to me and my lifestyle and how my friends are?
You dont have the balls to give a straight answer to any of these so of course you have to block all this out of your head and say something moronic hoping you can get out of it easily.
Get back where YOU belong and stop breaking everybody's balls already. Stop stalking and go home. You're like a cell that appears to be sleeping but is active. There. Have all the conundrums up your ass. And I know this well. You deserve it.

Cliffton, you're DILUTED! (ha ha ha ha ha ha, that shit STILL cracks me up more THEN the broken window!)

I totally agree with the OP. Stink, laziness, and filth is not "creative" and has nothing to do with the creative process. I live with 2 artists right now, I can forgive them for not doing the dishes or something trivial, they have busy schedules. The artists I live with are dedicated: working, touring, practicing, and classes. Then there's the other assloads of lazy dumb fucks too stupid to get a job, too lazy to even look, and to unhygienic to even be handed an application - so they call themselves "artists" only as a shitty excuse to justify their 24/7 drug consumption. The most creative thing they have ever done was brown and red, and it came out of their ass. These people only skim by on selling pot, food stamps, and begging their parents for money. Outside of Portland, these "artists" would just be called what they are: drug addicts.

Gadafia and her 7 made up accounts have commented more on I,A than anybody else combined. That should tell us something. Maybe there is a limit and then you can do nothing. Like get kicked out for disturbing the chill. No longer able no log in.
