The Power of Art + ET Graveyard
11 years ago
Few things in life effect you the way art can. Music, movies, TV, pictures, stories, etc... have a way of creating mixed feelings that not many things in this life can successfully. Especially while revolving around sad or negative feelings that at the same time make you say "I like this". Things like gore fest horror movies where the bad guy wins, or a song that makes you think of a past love you still have feelings for.
It just amazes me how powerful art is with influencing our emotions in ways most other things can't. With most things in life you either like it, don't like it, or you're indifferent. You're not gonna hate the flavor of a certain food but then eat it cause you like it. That makes no bloody sense! XD However, you can listen to a song that makes you sad, yet you still like the song and like listening to it. Emotions drive us in many ways, but they don't usually get mixed like that with such polar opposites clashing. I guess that makes sense, after all, any form of art is human expression projected outward with creativity, right?
Anyway, the only reason I bring it up is because earlier today I heard a song that made me think of a recent ex and our past and it made me kinda sad, but I really liked the song. I listened to it on Youtube and may download it. lol
Nothing new, it's happened to me many times in life, but I just really started to think about it and analyze it for a second.
It's kinda like how I've always been attracted to villains more in fiction. Freeza and Cell from Dragon Ball Z are my top two characters for example. And I don't mean "Fav villians" I mean favorites out of everyone in DBZ. Hell, Sosuke Aizen from Bleach is my favorite fictional character of all time actually. I like the heroes too, obviously, but I tend to go for villains because they make me feel more excited, they are bad asses who deceive and demolish anyone in their way, and I like that. I used to wonder why that was. Obviously I am not a bastard IRL who thinks people doing horrible, cruel things is ok, yet in fictional entertainment, i'm like "Hell yeah!" Hahaa... But then I realized it was all based on feelings within fantasy art more or less. I simply find the villains more exciting even though i'd never condone behavior like that IRL.
The human mind is veeeeeery interesting sometimes... Mhmm!
Also, I just learned not long ago that they found the stash of old ET game cartridges for the Atari that were buried decades ago in my town, Alamogordo, New Mexico! I knew they were gonna try finding them, but didn't realize they did it today! That's crazy! It used to be a big rumor more or less, but they found it! That's so awesomely strange!
I remember first hearing about this graveyard years ago, I can't believe they actually found it. I wonder if they are even worth much?

Yeah, driving past it on the highway, there was this big gathering in that dirty area west of southern Alamo. I just thought it was a group of people doing tricks since I saw a couple of ATV's riding around... didn't explain the big ol' Tonka diggers there O-o
