¡NteReSt¡Ng... VeRy, VeRy...

What I like the most about art is being surprised, I think that 's why I like actual and contemporary art. The classical or traditional one doesn't, generally, entertain me, it tells me nothing and it is because I'm not surprised when watching, looking, hearing... in essence: using it (because art is like a drug, a good one, and if it isn't for anyone, I think it should be).

From the many definitions of art that I have come across I stand with this one:

"Art is anything provoking aesthetic pleasure"

I agree completely and since there is probably nothing fulfilling the definition for all of us (the human beings) at the same time, it is implicit that art is something personal. Anything causing aesthetic pleasure to anyone should be considered art, for the sake of respecting one another's tastes.

So, after nearly a year without posting a word in this blog (this is not to say that I haven't been thinking, XD), why am I giving this speech? Well, it's because I found this video in a blog named serious eats that surprised me and I suddenly felt the need to share and write about why I enjoyed it so much. It made me think that I have always had this thing with destroying things, since I was a child ripping apart old computers and stuff, and I like very much cooking, as you can all check in my other blog (which is one of the reasons why I abandoned this one a bit, XD). Watch the video after the break.

0r the aRt of doing n0th¡n'

Let me think about this well known (but not so ancient) practice that consists in laying down on a sofa or armchair doing NOTHING! Sometimes you do nothing alone or with others, nothing means anything not productive or that doesn't requires too much thinking nor moving (so this excludes wanking). Watching TV can be a way, but not watching a movie, a TV-serial can also be. Another example can be playing video games.

The point is that at the end of the day you feel as if you've wasted all that time. Unless you really enjoyed it, in that case you feel as if it was a long time ago when last enjoyed that much.

Nevertheless, this practice has recently risen to the cathegory of sport with several names: "chairball", "sofaball", "sofaing"...

I've read that this sport is called “couch surfing”, and this is what my mind pictured out while i was reading it:

So, because of that I've decided not to use that name and "invented" a new one.

I've also read that when it involves using the remote control it's called “channel surfing”, so:

To be thought...
