Not knowing where you are going in life is supposed to be a BAD thing! I have tried to play that way, but still I think in the depths of my being that not knowing where I am going is FUN! BADFUN! but enjoyable. At the very least, enjoyable. Even now, nearing the dreaded retirement age, trying to know where I'm going, even when it seems so clear that the where I'm going is nowhere, is still so much more BORING than the BADFUN of ENJOYING I know not what!
I have gotten tired of always LOOKING FOR MEANING in everything.
I haven't been blogging here lately and instead have been obsessively spending my time on the Hub where I have found it so enjoyable to make wicked humor and wait for quite serious comments regarding my inane jokes. My kind of fun! Everyone around me deadly serious - really, me, the only one laughing in the room. Everything outlandishly serious! Which is FUNNY! to me.
You know? like when you say something YOU don't even understand and then look around and people are deligently trying to find something politely complimentary to say to encourage you, even though they know you just jumped off the deepest end! For a moment. Those moments of freefall I cherish. And make a permanent place in my brain for the images of the looks on their faces! REALLY IT IS BADFUN!
This year's first mask was rather silly. A dragonfly thing that obsessed me since last July. I'll put up a photo here. Working on another that is still in pieces. I usually work that way - molding the clay and pinching it and letting it fall apart, then putting it back together. This may not be "fine art" this may just be "art therapy". Ask me if I care! It goes nowhere, and that's somehow wonderful! Much better than lethargy, at the very least!
It is fun to work with the clay, the photos, the videos and not have to try to explain any of it to anyone. Let it alone. See what you see. It is pure communication that way. Don't even worry about what you think of it, and especially don't worry about whether your friends will like it!
Ya - BADFUN! You can find some more of my blogs on the Hub @ Mega1. Try a little BADFUN of your own! The only rule is - cause no harm, to anyone or anything.
But DO WE have time for this? Do we DARE NOT HAVE TIME FOR THIS? It is a way that leads to relaxing, and may save your silly life! BADFUN! (more fun at my hubpages see below)
