Were it not for music, we might in these days say, the Beautiful is dead.

What was any art but a mould in which to imprison for a moment the shining elusive element which is life itself - life hurrying past us and running away, too strong to stop, too sweet to lose.
~ Willa Cather

Music is what feelings sound like.
~ Author Unknown

An artist is a dreamer consenting to dream of the actual world.
~ George Santayana

FAMOUS ART QUOTES, MUSIC QUOTES, PAINTING QUOTES, FILM MAKING QUOTES, PHOTOGRAPHY QUOTES:

Andrew Koenig found dead

CNN reports that Andrew Koenig was found dead in a park in Vancouver, B.C. His father said he committed suicide.

Koenig had suffered from depression. He stopped taking medication for it about a year ago, his father said. He enjoyed some success as an actor. Was an activist focusing on Burma and other causes.

Already on the CNN website, there's some of the predictable nonsense. People post comments, and half of them deny the reality of clinical depression. They talk about suicide as if it were simply a sign of weakness, as if suicide were perfectly rational act people commit after logically weighing their options.

Someone posted, "Money can't buy happiness." (I don't know how much money Koenig had.)

Someone posted a reply that said money could buy happiness but "it can't cure mental illness."

Spelling Mistakes in Tattoos


Tattoo artists are being asked to pay more attention to spelling, especially when it comes to Sanskrit tattoos. It seems that 2 of our favourite stars have had a tattoo done in Sanskrit...with a spelling mistake. Rihanna has 2 tattoos with spelling mistakes. and "Victoria" on the arm (left) of David Beckham is spelled like Vihctoria.



British footballer Theo Walcott is the latest footballer to join David Beckham to the “Sanskrit Tattoo Club”. On the inside of his right arm, he has a tattoo meaning "Beautiful, Blessed, Strong, Intelligent”. “Beautiful” is dedicated to his sister Hollie, “blessed” for his father Don, “strong” for his brother Ashley, and “intelligent” for his mother Lynn. Wow, he has a nice family !


Random Appropriation of the Day!



Today's random appropriation comes from Hipster Puppies, a pretty adorable tumblr feed playing off hipster stereotypes by captioning pictures of dogs.

The above image was posted with this caption: "lola got booted from the kickball team after just showing up every week and drinking"

In the words of tipster MK: "I'm gonna hope the caption about drinking has nothing to do with Native stereotypes. Coincidence?" Let's hope.

Apparently even the hipster puppies are getting in on the tribal trend!


(Thanks MK!)
