Begginings

I never really gave much thought to blogging, but here I am anyway, typing away ...
This blog is basically about the arts; but what is art? It's not just paintings and sculptures. If you were to look up "art" in the dictionary, this is what you would find:

"art"
-noun
1. the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance.

Art is music, film, acting, fashion, food, literature, dance, and yes, drawing & painting. I'm very much a lover of each of those forms of art, and I'll be blogging about each a lot! I don't have much to say right now, this being my first post and all, but I hope you check back because everyone needs a little art in there life.


Earlier today, I went to the local Barnes & Nobles in pursuit to find the novel, "Wicked". Yes, the one that has recently been adapted by Broadway. Anyway, an employee came up to me and asked me if I needed help. This is how the conversation went:

-"Did you want the paperback version? Or the hard cover?"
-"Whichever one's less expensive."
-He laughs.
-"There ya go! Great musical. Did you see it?"
-"No, but I want to. I wanna read the book first."
-"Oh, I see. I won't spoil it for you, hahahahaha."
-I force a laugh.
-"Did you see the Wizard of Oz?"
-"No, I need to, though."
-"YOU HAVENT SEEN THE WIZARD OF OZ?!"
-"... No, not yet."
-"Oh, you have to before you read this book."
Oh, God. Please shut up.
-"I know."
-"So what other musicals do you like?"
Someone shoot me.
-"Um, Chicago and Rent."
-"NO WAY! ME TOO! Did you see blahblahblahblahblah.."
(this goes on for about six and a half minutes)
-"Yeah.. I think I'm gonna go pay for my book now."
-"Here, lemee ring it up for you!"
-"... Okay."
-"So, what else do you enjoy besides broadway?"
-"Painting... Music... Dancing..."
-"Oh, so you're like, artsy."

and that's where I got the idea, haha.
and that's also the last time I ask him for help.
